One of the most common contents of magazines fitness Y celebrities is to share the diet that the different stars follow to get beefy on the action movies and superheroes.
Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Jason Momoa, Dwayne Johnson… The list of actors who, due to script requirements, have to punish yourself in the gym it is endless. Quite the opposite of the diet they follow to get like a bull, which is always the same: mainly chicken, followed by broccoli and rice. For friends, the PBA diet.
This is confirmed by the specialist in fitness Ian Douglas in Mel Magazine, where he compiles the diet that a dozen of action movie actors have followed in recent years. Although there are certain variations, “chicken”, “rice” and “broccoli” are the words that are repeated the most. With a lot of difference.
Alexander Skarsgard he spent nine months eating only brisket and broccoli to play Tarzan. Zack Efron says he gobbles down “five chicken breasts a day, lots of vegetables, lots of kale and brown rice.” the immense Jason Momoa, known by Aquaman, prefers to eat boiled breast “every two hours”, a diet similar to that followed by Chris Evans, that adds rice, and recognizes that “it is not at all appetizing”. Mark Walberg He is not far behind: he gobbles up two whole roast chickens a day.
Dwayne Johnson, The rockthe king of the mazados (or blowjobs), has the record in the diet of getting beefy: as he explained to USAToday in 2014 he eats three meals a day which, surprise, include chicken, rice and broccoli in huge quantities.
A change in the bodybuilder’s diet
There is no doubt that the PBA diet is today the bodybuilding standardbut there was a time when the most famous embedders followed other types of regimens.
The most famous bodybuilder of all time, which is none other than arnold schwarzenegger, followed a much more varied diet, which included dairy products, juices, whole grains, fruits, cheese, vegetables, eggs and chicken… But hardly any refined carbohydrates. Not a trace of rice.
As Douglass explains, it was from the 90’s of the last century when bodybuilders began to reduce the diet to just chicken, rice and broccoli. All due to the demonization of fats, a nutrient almost absent from the PBA diet.
To the surprise of no one, follow the PBA diet to the letter not good for health, not even to increase our bodybuilding. Unless we have some help.

“A diet in which significant fat content is totally absent will not contribute much to the hormone production key to building muscle, not to mention the absence of micronutrients that are also essential for building show-worthy muscles,” explains Douglass. “Meanwhile, supplementation with steroids and other hormones is able to push the body through some of these nutrient deficiencies while allowing you to add muscle despite them.”
Definitely: do not try this at home.
