On his Instagram, The Rock announced he is now the lightest he has been since High School:
"Thanks for all the cool questions lately about my training/diet/conditioning and why I slimmed down for my current role I’m filming now (Benny Safdie’s Lizard Music).
I took almost a year to lose approximately 50lbs - from stepping on set to film, “The Smashing Machine” weighing 282lbs, to my current weight today - 235lbs. Last time I was this weight, was my freshman football season at University of Miami. I was a little “light in the ass”, for a defensively tackle, but still a monster
At this current weight and body composition, I’ve never felt better - strength, endurance, cardiovascular, metabolic health, inflammation, joints, insulin sensitivity, stress hormones, immune function, incredible pumps etc.
I wanted to take my time, drop the weight in a smart, wise and healthy way - nothing extreme. I also focus on partitioning my carbs strictly around my training and tapering off from there.
What’s also made a HUGE impact in my progress was completely cutting out all refined sugars. For an athlete who was constantly battling a calorie surplus this move was transformative.
Also keeping fat on the lower side as well. 50-60g daily.
Appreciate all your great questions, hope this insight is helpful for your own journey.
