Chris Martin doesn't need Gwyneth Paltrow to make questionable dietary choices.

The Coldplay frontman told Fresh 102.7 that he picks one day a week to just not eat food. Newsflash, Martin: Starving yourself once a week will not fix you.

It started when he was sick one time and took a recommendation to not eat for a day in order to "feel healthier" — not be healthier, mind you. Because starving yourself is never healthy and nutrients aren't the sort of thing you should ever just skip for a day.

But he was into it, so now it's just a regular thing he's doing.

"I did it and then I found I could sing a bit better, and also I felt so grateful for food. And just grateful for everything in a way that I wasn't so much before," he explained. "I think that that feeling of gratitude and stuff naturally brings out a joyous feeling, and also when you're hungry you are very focused, so both sides of it I think help creativity."

Gratitude is cool, but it kind of seems like nachos can also get the job done just fine.
