Look Good With the Ryan Reynolds Diet

Aside from workouts, the other important factor in getting that well-toned physique is a good diet. Take Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds for example. To prepare for his role in the 2004 movie Blade Trinity, he had to undergo an intensive physical training and a very strict diet. He reportedly dropped his body fat from 11% to an amazing 3% during his training that’s why he looked fantastic shirtless on that movie - well-defined muscles that aren’t too big, just the perfect body a man could ever have.

He worked out six days a week during the training, doing 2-3 hours each day. His advice is to choose a workout plan that will suit your needs, as it would be impossible to achieve your goals when you hate your workout. For example, he did abs exercises first rather than doing it at the end of his regimen, as he found it meditative if he did so.

Reynolds attributes his awesome physique on good nutrition. He doesn’t subscribe to the idea of starving yourself when dieting; in fact, during his training, he ate every 2 to 3 hours to burn more fat. He says the body won’t need to store fat for energy if you’re feeding it all the time. To gain muscles, he took creatine mixed up with L-glutamine, conjugated linolei acid, whey and multivitamin during his training. He also didn’t scale down his carbohydrate intake; he merely scheduled eating these after workouts and eating no carbo-laden food after 8PM.

The actor also cooked his meals in advance, sometimes doing the cooking just once or twice a week. He prepared large portions of each recipe, especially those for breakfast, and he froze serving portions that he’d later on reheat when needed.

Here’s a sample of the food that Ryan Reynolds ate during a day in his training:

Breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs
Some “good” fat like a spoon of almond butter or slice of avocado
2-4 cups of oatmeal with applesauce

Midmorning snack:
Protein bar with 12-20g of protein

Lunch:
Stirfried Veggies and Rice with Chicken

Mid-afternoon snack:
Protein shake (whey and water), protein bar, or apple and almonds

Dinner:
Broiled fish or chicken, brown rice, vegetables and salad
