This is the “superhero diet” that Chris Hemsworth and Jason Momoa practice to inflate their muscles

Some actors on the big screen, especially protagonists of action movies, look so muscular that they arouse the admiration of millions of followers.

Undoubtedly, to obtain that physical form they must dedicate hours of their lives in strong exercise routines, inside a gym. However, many will wonder what their diet consists of?

There is a diet followed by Hollywood stars like Chris Hemsworth, actor who gives life to Thor in Marvel movies, as well as Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo in the Game of Thrones series and, more recently, Aquaman.

How is the ‘superheroes’ diet to inflate muscles?

Even Dwayne Johnson “The Rock” has tried it. This is the PBA diet, known as the superhero diet, based on the intake of three foods: chicken, broccoli and rice.

Nutrition expert Ian Douglas explains that these three foods are key to following a good diet.

Many Hollywood actors base their diet on these three products when they have to prepare for a new physically demanding role, says the Menshealth website.

Alexander Skarsgard, star of ‘The Man from the North’, said he had been eating chicken breast, rice and broccoli for nine months. Hugh Jackman to be Wolverine also made three meals a day with this trio of foods.

What about fat intake?

Douglas comments that the PBA diet became popular many decades ago when fats were more demonized than carbohydrates, as opposed to what happens now. And he assures that for bodybuilders and fitness athletes these three products by themselves are not good for gaining muscle.

He also maintains that reducing fat intake as much as possible does not help to secrete the hormones necessary for hypertrophy, and other micronutrients are lacking.

So, if you want to have a toned body, we recommend that you do not get carried away by this PBA diet, since by itself it would not help you look more muscular.

Better follow the suggestions of your nutritionist and if you go to the gym, pay attention to the instructions of your trainer.
