The Diet Hugh Jackman used to become a Jacked Man for his Wolverine Roles
Hugh Jackman partakes in Intermittent fasting as part of his process to get shredded for the Wolverine roles. This strategy of when to eat your meals has been shown to produce many health benefits.
Your body runs on a circadian rhythm (like a clock) which controls the enzymes that break down various foods. Intermittent fasting is more so a dieting schedule rather than an actual diet. This type of fasting is used for you to intake your calories within a given time window. The goal of intermittent fasting is to eat within a 9-12 hour window. Studies have shown the best results are when you keep that window to 9-10 hours. Having said that, there are different ways to carry out this plan.
First you must start off with how big you want your window to be. This window can range from 8-12 hours. The next step is to determine what time in the day you want this window to take place. Some will start at 8 am and then stop eating from 4-6 pm. Others will skip breakfast and have their window take place from 11 am- 9 pm. It is entirely up to you. Personally, I like to have the window take place within an hour of getting out of bed. Your body's enzymes are most active earlier in the day and slow down late at night. As a result, the food is not getting broken down and absorbed as efficiently at night.
Does coffee count as starting a window? Yes, when you have that first sip of coffee or whatever you eat your clock starts. If you have coffee at 7 am, you can eat until 3-7 pm depending how big you made that window. After that widow closes, the only thing you are allowed is water.
Intermittent fasting helps increase NAD which is used by your mitochondria to create energy. Your body needs energy and the mitochondria produces it. Studies have shown intermittent fasting leads to an increase in lean muscle mass and gets rid of any mitochondria that might have been damaged. Intermittent fasting has also been shown to raise hormone levels, increase metabolic rate and lower insulin levels.
The real diet Hollywood uses to get jacked and shredded in 6 months: Trenbolone, winstrol, test, not this, secrets.
The real workout program Hollywood uses: Steroids, and a secret that no one sees. No one. They don't release it.
If you were to carefully go back and read the article, I said he uses "Intermittent Fasting as part of the process to get shredded for Wolverine movies". I then go into discussing what intermittent fasting is and the benefits from here. I'm not going to debate if he was on steroids because I don't have a reliable source. Do you have a reliable source stating he was? I would be interested in that reading that material. Depending on the genetics, work ethic and nutrition plan, I believe it is possible to achieve a shredded physique. To insinuate someone who has worked hard is on steroids just because they are shredded is simply not fair to that person.
What range should have the eating window in your opinion?
I love intermittent fasting man! I've been doing it off and on for 3 years now (before it became a fad) and I've had great results. I've been slacking lately and it shows, but hands down IF is my favorite eating plan.
