Jake Tapper is a busy guy. The CNN anchor hosts The Lead with Jake Tapper on weekdays and State of the Union on Sunday mornings, where he interviews guests like Kellyanne Conway and Paul Ryan. That six-days-a-week schedule may sound intense to the rest of us, but Tapper told the Cut that hes been on a new diet and fitness regime (thanks to his friend Paul Rudd) that has helped him deal with the stress of it all. We recently chatted with Tapper about how he incorporates wellness into his busy life, his obsession with protein shakes, and how hanging out with his kids helps put things in perspective.

How I start my mornings: I am awakened sometime between 6:30 and 7 a.m. by one of my two children and one of my two dogs, depending on the morning and who is loudest. My wife and I get the kids breakfast and let the dogs out, feed the dogs. Im on this new diet and fitness routine that I started near the beginning of the year, from an actor friend who got really in shape for a movie role and I was really impressed. Since he and I are roughly the same age and roughly the same ethnicity, I thought that was achievable. So I have a bowl of oatmeal and some sort of protein in addition to that hard-boiled eggs or turkey bacon. Then I do 40 minutes of cardio. I do that either on the elliptical machine we have at our house or I go to the gym, and maybe three or four days a week in addition to that, I also work out with a trainer to do core and weights in the morning.

On becoming more health-conscious: Well, Im 48, so Im getting older. I dont have the best back in the world, so having a better core and less weight to haul around helps. Also I think its fair to say this job has gotten a little bit more intense in the last year, and its good to be at the top of my game physically so that I can be at the top of my game intellectually.

Wellness, to me, is: A lot of things. There is certainly emotional wellness, which is the state of being content with ones life, in terms of relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. There is physical wellness, which has to do with limiting the amount of toxins and poisons one puts in ones body and exercising and being as physically possessed as possible. Its not just about looking good in a bathing suit on the beach, but also about how you feel day-to-day walking around in your office. And then there is a spiritual wellness, which to me means attempting to understand and be at peace with larger existential questions that have very little to do with the day-to-day activities of jobs or disappointments or Twitter or trifles, and more to do with trying to be a good person, trying to do good for the community, and trying to improve the world however much one can.

How I deal with stress: The exercise and the diet, to be honest, really help with stress. I have friends who meditate. I am not there yet I dont know if I could ever clear my mind, but when I come home I try to turn off. I try to put the phone away, spend time with my family, not focus on the day-to-day machinations of the Trump White House or Congress, and instead on my familys issues and their problems and whats going on with them. You know, a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl are not really interested in the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing that the rest of us might be really fired up about. They are focused on school, friends, and our dogs, and thats where my focus is: with those two and my wife. So that really helps me decompress a lot. Im also working on a novel, which believe it or not, is a huge stress-release as well because it takes place in 1954. So its focused on politics, but its an entirely different set of politics. And since its fictitious, I get to control it.

My skin-care routine: My wife every now and then will force me to get a facial, thats about it. I wash my face and I have makeup artists here who think more about my skin than I do, but every now and then, my wife will say, Youre going to such-and-such to get a facial, and I obey.

On keeping up with wellness at work: I have a yoga mat in my office that I can use for stretching, and I drink a lot of water and have protein shakes its part of this diet that Im doing, where I have a protein shake late morning and a protein shake late afternoon, in addition to a salad and a protein for lunch and dinner. In terms of what we do around the office, in addition to focusing on news, we try to have a fun atmosphere where people laugh and make jokes. We have a 2 p.m. meeting where my senior producers and I go over all the segments for the 4 p.m. show. I would say that, in addition to discussions about how a segment could be better or how a discussion could be more pointed or what we want to focus on, I think well, I hope its a rather friendly atmosphere where were joking around and friends as well as colleagues. Youd have to interview my staff to find out whether thats a delusion or not.

How I sleep: The diet and exercise have also been amazing for my sleep pattern. I go to bed, depending on the night, lets say 10 or 11 p.m., and Im always reading at least one or two books. I lay in bed and the lights are out, and Im reading that on the Kindle. Right now Im reading a book called Red Sparrow, which is about U.S. versus Russia espionage, so thats not hugely a change of subject but it is fictitious. Not drinking as much alcohol and this new diet, which is much more about protein and vegetables and low sugar, low carbs, have really been great for my sleep pattern, and meant that its much easier to fall asleep and also much easier to wake up.

My best wellness advice: I have to say, this diet was the best advice Ive received. My friend whos the actor, we were just talking about fitness and I was talking about how I needed to lose weight and get in much better shape and all that, and he told me about his diet and his routine and how he got in shape for his role it was Paul Rudd, and that was the exercise he did to get in shape for Ant-Man. If you look at pictures of Paul before when he did I Love You, Man and when you look at pictures of Paul when he did Ant-Man, he just completely transformed his health. Hes the one who gave me this rundown and its changed my life. I feel better and Ive lost about 12 pounds since January. That was a huge impact on me, and now Im a bit crazy about it when Im in another city Im always looking for a place where I can get a protein smoothie. Im a little obsessed, but its okay to be obsessed with health.

The UFC light heavyweight champion tipped the scales at 206.2 for his Saturday night title defense against Anthony Rumble Johnson, himself no stranger to weight-cutting issues. Just 144 seconds after his failure to make the proscribed limit of 205 pounds, DC returned to the scale shortly before the expiration of the commission-imposed time cutoff. He miraculously hit the weight limit on the nose. Strangely, when Johnson, a former welterweight who boasts a win at heavyweight over a former UFC champion,took to the scales the reading registered 203.8, precisely 1.2 pounds below the limitthe same amount Cormier lost in less than three minutes.

Rather than scale skullduggery, ESPNs Brett Okamoto takes a crack at solving the case of the missing weight by pointing to a pay-not-attention-to-the-curtain prevarication.

Cormier (18-1), who cuts a good amount of weight to compete at 205 pounds, may have used an old wrestling trick to lose 1.2 pounds in such a short amount of time, Okamoto writes. During the second weigh-in, UFC officials held a towel out in front of Cormier, who had stripped off all his clothes. Cormier clearly pushed down on the towels, which would presumably offset his weight slightly.

Fighters employ unusual measures to make weight. Desmond Green, fighting onUFC 210sundercard, once described to Breitbart Sports how he cut his dreadlocks to make weight. Cormier wished such an option existed for him at the Beijing Summer Olympics in 2008. He made the 211.5-pound limit. Then his kidneys failed. The medical event prevented him from competing and nearly killed him.

That Daniel Cormier competed in his twenties rather than his thirties. And he did so at a weight limit nearly seven pounds higher than the one he encountered on Friday. A bowling-ball-of-a-guy who did not look outsized in dispatching Frank Mir, Antonio Big Foot Silva, and Josh Barnettnone exactly small for their divisionat heavyweight appears like a skeleton at the scales as a light heavyweight.

But even Skelator Cormier initially failed to make weight. His Daniel Cormier Diet, surely now as in-demand as anything peddled by Jenny Craig, shed more than a pound in less than a commercial break. At that rate, the Daniel Cormier Diet figures to lose fatties 50 pounds every two hours. Alas, like most get-slim-quick products, thediet wins its fair share of skeptics seeing it as snake oil. But people watching scales, whether athletic commissions or unathletic gargantuans, see what they want to see.

"Can we hang, no strings attached? Listen to 'N Sync cassettes?" A typical come-on from Diet Cig, and an invitation tough to resist. The New York boy/girl duo specialize in lovesick fuzz-pop on their fantastic debut album Swear I'm Good At This. Guitar-toting firecracker Alex Luciano keeps tripping over her own reluctant sentimental streak in these sardonic modern-love vignettes as she sings, "It's hard to be punk while wearing a skirt." Even when her melodies get sugary, Luciano never wusses out as she contemplates the anxieties of youth, the terror of adulthood and the ever-astonishing lameness of the male. "Sixteen" has to be the best song ever written about dating somebody with the same name ("It was weird in the back of his truck/Moaning my own name while trying to fuck") while "Tummy Ache," "I Don't Know Her" and "Link In Bio" raise the aggression level. The highlight: "Maid of the Mist," where she announces, "I want to hold a sance for every heart I've broken/Put them all in a room and say, get over it."

Mama June Shannon may have dropped a shocking 300 lbs., but the reality star - who famously chowed down on sketti (a.k.a. noodles slathered in butter and ketchup) - still hasnt completely overhauled her diet.

Nobody taught me how to cook, so its a learning experience all the time as we look up new recipes, Shannon says in the latest issue of PEOPLE. The Mama June: From Not to Hot star underwent an extensive series of surgeries that include the insertion of a gastric sleeve, breast augmentation and skin removal on her turkey neck, bat wings, and stomach - an area where doctors removed 9 lbs. of loose skin.

Since then, Shannon has switched to a low-carb, low-sugar diet, though she still indulges in her favorite cheat meal items: Mexican, barbecue and Little Debbie jelly-filled pies, she reveals. They are heaven in a box.

One lesson Shannon learned the hard way? Eating way too much in one sitting.

I have thrown up, because you cant over eat with the gastric sleeve, she says. When you do it that one time, you dont do it again.

For the most part Shannon tries to stick to a simple diet.

Breakfast I dont kind of eat breakfast. If Im lucky enough, I get my ass up before 12, 1 oclock most days, so breakfast is nonexistent.

Lunch I usually have a protein pack with slices of meat, cheese and almonds.

Snack Grapes and cheese are my go-to, says Shannon. I walk by the refrigerator, get three or four grapes and then walk away.

Dinner We eat chicken and beans plus whatever sides the girls want, says Shannon, who keeps portions small.

WASHINGTON "Can we change our diet to change our risk of cancer?"

This was the question posed by Dr. Stephen O'Keefe, a gastroenterologist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

The answer, O'Keefe said, is yes particularly when it comes to colon cancer.

Large, long-running epidemiological studies have concluded that there is indeed a link between the foods a person eats and his or her risk of colon cancer, O'Keefe said on Monday (April 3) here at the American Association for Cancer Research's annual meeting. These studies suggest, for example, that a diet rich in red meat and processed meats is linked to an increased risk of the disease. In contrast, a fiber-rich diet is linked to a decreased risk, he said.

And research in recent years has shown that the multitudes of bacteria that reside in the human gut known collectively as the microbiome could explain this connection.

Studies done in labs have shown that certain bacteria break down the remains of fatty and protein-rich foods in the large intestine, O'Keefe said. During this process, the bacteria produce compounds such as secondary bile acids that have been shown to cause inflammation and cancer in lab studies, he said. Other bacteria, that break down fiber-rich foods in the large intestine, produce compounds such as butyrate that have been shown to be protective against cancer, he said. [Body Bugs: 5 Surprising Facts About Your Microbiome]

Lab studies and observational studies are good in principle, but what happens in practice? O'Keefe asked. The strongest type of evidence generally comes from intervention studies, where scientists intervene with one group of people, asking them to make a change, and then also include a comparison group that doesn't make that change. Such studies help to show that a given health effect, such as a lowered risk of colon cancer, is due to food, and not to other factors.

O'Keefe recently conducted a unique experiment to look at the effects of diet and colon cancer risk. His findings were published in 2015 in the journal Nature Communications.

The study included 20 African-Americans, a group that generally has very high rates of colon cancer, and 20 Africans from rural South Africa, where the rates of colon cancer are very low. At the beginning of the study, the researchers analyzed the microbiomes of all the participants, and performed colonoscopies to look at the health of the colon.

The researchers also compared the two groups' diets: The African-Americans, on average, ate two to three times more animal protein and fat and than the rural Africans, and significantly less fiber.

Then, for two weeks, the scientists asked the groups to switch diets. The rural Africans ate an American diet that was high in fat and low in fiber, including such foods as meatloaf, hamburgers, french fries, pancakes and sausage. The African-Americans, on the other hand, were given a high-fiber, low-fat diet, with foods such as mango slices, fiber-rich cornmeal, lentils and tilapia, according to the study. [6 Distinctive Food Guides from Around the World]

At the end of the two weeks, the researchers performed the same tests once again.

"You could see clear differences" in just two weeks, O'Keefe said. For example, the microbes that break down fiber were higher in abundance in the African-Americans and lower in the rural Africans before the study began, the reverse was true, he said. The compounds that these microbes produce were also increased in the African-Americans.

Similarly, there was an increase in the abundance of the microbes that break down protein and fat in rural Africans, and a decrease in African-Americans, he said.

The researchers also saw changes in how the lining of the colon looked in both groups; for example, the lining was more inflamed in the rural Africans after they spent two weeks eating the high-fat, low-fiber diet.

O'Keefe noted that although there were changes, "I don't want you to go away with the idea that certain microbes or nutrients are good or bad. They all have essential roles to play in the body." It may be more important to look at how the microbes interact with one another, he said. For example, after eating the low-fat, high-fiber diet, the microbes in the African-American group showed a greater network of interaction in other words, more microbes were "communicating" with each other. But the interactions decreased after eating a high-fat, low-fiber diet, he said.

Ultimately, the microbes in the gut and the compounds they produce represent a very dynamic system and one that can be changed based on a person's diet, O'Keefe said.

"Suffice it to say, that food has important effects on the total body," O'Keefe said.

Professional athletes dont get to the top by accident. It takes superhuman levels of time, dedication, and focusand that includes paying attention to what they put in their bellies. In this series, GQ takes a look at what athletes in different sports eat on a daily basis to perform at their best. Heres a look at the daily diet of the Grizzlies veteran Vince Carter.

At 40-years-old, Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Carter is the NBAs oldest active player. Its an odd dissonance, considering hes one of the greatest natural athletes in NBA history and arguably the greatest dunker of all time. And yet, we do Carter a disservice in failing to take into account his love for the game. Part of his longevity is his commitment to his body, which allows him to still chase around young guys who were literally in pampers when he took home the Dunk Contest title in 2000. We caught up with Carter recently to discuss what hes doing to still be able to do things like this.

GQ: From the time you entered the league in 98 until now, how much more of an importance have you seen in the focus on nutrition?

Vince Carter: The focus itself is different entirely in terms of nutrition and the equipment that is available now. They didnt have NormaTecs and Cryotherapy [when I entered the league]. It was just a cold tub and ice bags. You had your therapists, and still had nutritionists, but now technology is so advanced. Theyre taking more information on monitoring the body to know what its doing and how its reacting and responding. Its just a different ballgame as far as whats accessible to you.

The Ultimate Mixtape of Young Vince Carter Dunking on Everyone Is Here

How big of a transition has that been for you with how far youve seen things advance?

Its definitely a huge transition. But the important thing is its to protect the players. Its all predicated on trying to avoid injury and trying to get guys to last longer. For as much as we hateand I mean we as in basketball playersall the things there are to monitor your workload. In the end, for myself, you have an appreciation for it because you can gauge what needs to be done to last longer in the league.

What was different before?

My mindset would be "Im young, I can ice and keep going." Now, its more important for me to understand what theyre telling me about my body. So, if my legs are heavy, thats my body telling me I need more sleep or to stretch. I have to listen to that now and be more attentive to the nutritionist and the body load numbers that comes from games and practices.

Looking at how technology has advanced and all the information that is available now, is there anything you wish you had earlier in your career?

Man, I wish the Cryotherapy, Normatechs and all the other outlets were around for sure. You had to figure it out back then and thats still the case for guys now. Now, there are some guys who will come in and theyll get it. Maybe because they had it in college and they went to a great program that was more advanced as far as taking care of the body. But when youre young, youre still trying to establish yourself as a player, so you want every opportunity there is to play. Now, theyre trying to provide all of that, but its kind of hard to see the big picture sometimes as a young guy.

Everything is kind of thrown at you at one time and youre still in the figure-it-out stage. Thats the case still in year two, three, and four, regardless if youre classified as a star, or a superstar. You go from trying to figure out the NBA to now trying to figure the NBA out as a star or superstar. So youre trying to figure out how to carry that load while keeping your body intact, and now that goes back to nutrition because now youre playing more minutes and theres more of a workload. Youre not just sitting in the corner anymore. Now, youre always in the pick and roll or isos. Thats more stress on your body and you have to learn how to utilize all this technology and information at your disposal to still perform at a high level. Its a lot that goes into it that you might not necessarily think about, because the mindset is lets go play.

Im sure you cant eat the same way now that you did at 25, 30 or 35. Are there any foods you try to avoid or get more of now with having to focus more closely on what youre putting into your body to get what you need out of it?

I try to eat lots of vegetables and greens. I like foods that fuel. Im a sweater, so I prefer pasta for my pre-game meals most of the time. I dont drink soda because I lose so much [fluid] when I play that I need to replenish. I dont really eat as much fried food as I would have when I was younger because my body cant shed it as fast. Im able to have more bad days than the average older guy with just the way my body works, but I dont take advantage of that. I know I can get away with bad days, but I dont do it all the time. For me, playing in this league and playing a lot of minutes, I make sure I have the energy foods that kind of help me perform. I dont really eat pork as much. Theres no particular reason. I just stay away from it. Im just smart about what I eat and the times I eat.

There are times where Ive seen postgame meals consisting of pizza and wings and theres a flight to catch afterward. How do you maintain trying to eat healthy later with landing in a city in the early morning and the options available at those times not being the healthiest?

Thats a challenge but theres also little things that I dont hear people talk about as much that I think is very important that I learned as a young kid. The one thing my mom told meand I hated itwas when I eat, whether its bad or good, not to go right to sleep. Sit up for 30 minutes. I think thats an issue for us because we eat late at night. I dont care if you go out or not, you go straight to bed afterward because were getting into cities late at night and youre ready to get to bed, so the food sits there. You want to stay up, so the food can run its course and digest. Thats been a big thing for me over my career. It might sound stupid, but thats something Ive always done. I dont care how tired I am, I just try to sit up instead of laying down, so the food doesnt sit in my stomach. And stretching helps me a lot, as far as keeping my body loose and intact, as well.

That sounds like sound advice for anyone.

Digesting your food is a major factor. I think the general population makes the mistake of eating late, being tired, and wanting to lay down and that food is just sitting there... Its always been something that has been a part of my family for a long time before all of the technology. When your food is properly digested, you sleep better and your energy should be better the next day. [Theres] a lot that plays into it. Everyone has his or her ideas and things that works for them. This is something that I know that has worked for me.

"Thats been a big thing for me over my career. It might sound stupid, but thats something Ive always done."

You did mention you do allow yourself some cheat days. What are some guilty pleasures of yours?

I ve learned that Im willing to do the work when I have my cheat days. So lets start by saying that. [laughs] Im not a big sweets guy, but Im a chocolate chip cookie guy and a red velvet guy. Thats pretty much it. Ill have a burger if Im going to cheat but Ill try and do it on the healthy side, if thats possible. So I wont eat the bread with the burger. Ill try and compromise with myself. With that being said, Id much rather get a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun if Im going to cheat like that because I dont eat fast food very often... If I cheat, I know I have to put in a little more work. Fortunately, for me, Im constantly running the bad stuff off. I was blessed with good genes, but I know everyone isnt like that.

What are some things youve adopted now that you didnt necessarily have in your routine when you were younger?

Im a big water drinker now. Im also a cranberry juice drinker. I know it has lots of sugar, but I dont drink it all day like I used to. If Im having a meal, Ill have one glass of cranberry juice and lots of water. I wont drink [juice] just sitting around the house anymore. It will have to be with a meal.

I cant tell you the last time I had a soda. I see my friends or some of the young guys after a game drinking it and my body feels like its going to cramp up just watching them drink it. When youre trying to break habits, its extremely hard. I remember trying to cut back on the cranberry juice and just trying to drink water. It was hard to do! I felt like cutting back on cranberry juice made water taste nasty. How is that possible? [laughs]

Everyone marvels at the things you can still do at 40, but describe the commitment and preparation to still be able to even try those things?

People always say, Youre not suppose to be able to still do these things. I know that. But my preparation in the summer sets everything up prior to that, so during the season, all Im doing is maintaining and keeping it at the level I need to be able to compete at this level I had to develop the routine to make it work.

"I felt like cutting back on cranberry juice made water taste nasty."

Developing the routine is the easy part but sustaining it is where a lot of people have difficulty.

The toughest part is getting your body to cooperate when you need it to. Then comes the hours in the gym, the sacrifices you have to make. I was a guy who liked to go out, listen to music and hit the club sometimes, and I had to make sacrifices. I know I cant go hang out, have a drink and be able to play the next day. In general, I just cant go out. [laughs]

If Im going to be up late, Im going to be up late in my room with my feet up. I might be up late like the other young guys who are able go out, but Im up with my legs in a NormaTech, icing my knees or just being off my feet. That makes a huge difference and I learned that. You just have to learn your body, learn what works and be honest with yourself. Yes, I would love to go out, but I love this job, love competing, and thats way more important than hanging out. If I want to listen to music, theres Apple Music. [laughs]

This is all great information because I think for most people, when we see you do things now that remind us of your youth, we just automatically chalk it up to you being blessed with great genes and athletic ability. Which is true but we arent privy to the preparation.

Youre absolutely correct. I am blessed with great genes, but I feel like you do yourself a disservice just being content with that. Im trying to stay as close to that guy that we all know and remember, and I know that its possible. I know Im not going to be Vince from 2000, 2005, 2010. But I can get as close as possible if I continue putting the work in.
