Rob Lowe seems to have stopped aging and has the secret to staying young.
Lowe will celebrate her 60th birthday in March, and she was recently featured on USA Today's “The Essentials,'' where she talked about how she maintains her lifestyle.
The 9-1-1 Lone Star actor revealed that he starts his mornings with a gratitude list and a prayer, but that his morning routine begins after he's gotten an “embarrassing amount of sleep.”

“I'm getting a lot of sleep, an embarrassing amount,” Lowe said, without giving specific numbers. “I don't want people to think there's something wrong with me. I get plenty of sleep, but not 12 hours. But if I have 12 hours, I'm going to sleep.”

Rob prioritizes rest, so he sometimes takes naps while driving in his black Cadillac Escalade SUV.
“The seats recline all the way to the bottom, so you can sleep between different seats,” he shared. “I got it down to a science. Eye mask, Bose noise-cancelling headphones. And I was gone.”

Along with plenty of rest, Rowe relies on a low-carbohydrate, high-protein Atkins diet. The actor told the outlet that now that he's in his 30s, he realizes he can't eat and stay in shape like he used to.
“I've been doing that ever since,” Lowe said. “You are what you eat.”
Lowe, who has been a spokesperson for Atkins since 2018, noted that she sometimes misses the delicious carb-filled meals.
“It frustrates me. Believe me, I want to eat nothing but pie and milkshakes,” he explained. “I want to eat like I did when I was 15, but I can't.”

In October 2021, Lowe explained the benefits of the Atkins diet to GQ magazine.
“I now have research that confirms what I've been intuitively practicing for years: eating the Atkins way, a low-carbohydrate, low-sugar diet, and getting more than enough sleep. ” he said at the time.
“People used to make fun of me. But now science is catching up and it's not just beauty sleep. It's brain sleep, body sleep, and focus.”

“It has 15 grams of protein and the same amount of caffeine. I love caffeine. It has about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. I drink this every day at 4 a.m. I have a drink at 4:30,” he told E! News for 2022.
In addition to a strict diet, Lowe has been sober for 33 years. He believes that not consuming alcohol also helps his appearance.

“I haven't had a drink in 33 years, which is a big deal. It's irreversible,” Lowe said. “When you think about the calories you're missing and the swelling, it just adds up. It's a huge help.”

Lowe always tries to start her mornings on a positive note. His daily gratitude list includes certain things and people that will never change before he prays.
“It's my family, our health and my drinking,” Lowe said. “Then I think about my four dogs (Daisy, Oscar, Owen, and Bella) and my ability to do the work I love. And I try to keep the list as long as possible. Some days are long, some days are short. There is also.” ”
