Fitness Model Decides Hugh Jackman Diet "Not for Everybody": No Shit You Dumb Motherfucker
Hugh Jackman, best know as Logan aka Wolverine in the blockbuster series of X-Men movies from Marvel Studios, dominates the screen with his shirtless scenes.
But it's taken a lot of work, and a whole lot a healthy eating, to get him there.
Jackman's eating eating plan included just under 4,000 calories a day and a roughly even split of macronutrients, with a whopping 230 grams a day each of carbs, fat, and protein.
That's spread out over 6 meals, but there's one more catch — the diet also incorporates intermittent fasting, a strategy that limits food intake to a set period of time, with some evidence it can boost fat burning ability.
Recently, 24-year-old fitness Youtuber Aseel Soueid decided to try Jackman's eating plan for himself as part of series on celebrity diets.
He said that while it could definitely fuel muscle-building, that kind of high-calorie diet isn't for everyone. It took a lot of time and effort to cook and eat so much food in such a short period.
Soueid was so full he could barely finish this final snack before his 8-hour eating period was over.
4,000 calories a day might have gotten the Wolverine actor both huge and jacked for his film role, but it takes a lot more than just six meals a day to turn the average person into an action hero.
"Don't copy Hugh Jackman's diet plan thinking you're going to look exactly like him. That's just not going to happen," Soueid said.
In addition to eating strategically, Jackman is also known for his intense workout regimen, and he preps at least three months in advance for shirtless scenes, Insider previously reported.

I don’t like to get too aggressive in my headlines but good god this one’s got me mad. This one fucking fitness model trying Hugh Jackman’s 4,000 calorie-a-day diet and getting up on his soap box to talk about how it’s not for everybody. Thanks, Sherlock. Never would have thought that the process to get Hugh Jackman’s ripped bod would be a tough one. If it was easy, this wouldn’t be news. Everybody would be eating 4,000 calories of micro fats and macro carbs and whatever else every day. Everybody would be Wolverine, and you’d be out of a fucking job. I have beef with fitness models who do this kind of shit, and this guy is why.
Anybody who looks at Hugh Jackman, or any actor for that matter, who transforms their body into something that looks like a comic book and thinks, “well as long as I know how to do it, it shouldn’t be that hard” Is a fucking idiot. This is their job. Their literal job. Did I mention you’re a fucking idiot.
Trying something for ONE DAY and making up any sort of conclusion about it says a lot of things about you; mostly that you’re lazy and a fucking idiot.
Why did I waste five minutes reading this article when you could have just led and finished with “it’s hard to prepare that much healthy food” Yeah man. It is. That’s why people are fat as fuck.
So in conclusion- if you thought that getting Hugh Jackman ripped was going to be as easy crushing Navy Seal workouts, preparing a mountain of healthy, balanced calories, and consuming it all in your eight hour window of intermittent fasting, you’ll be sorely disappointed to find out that each of those things is hard.
PSA to fitness models, I don’t actually care if you can replicate celebrity diets. I don’t care because I already know it’s possible, because the celebrities do it. How about you guys get as fat as possible as quickly as possible. That’s at least relatable content. I don’t want to know how difficult it is going to be for me to look like Hugh Jackman, because again, I have a brain and know that already. I want to know how easy it’s going to be for me to let myself go completely. I’m talking obesity. I’m talking i’m finding cheetos in my folds. I’m talking people are worried about me. I’m talking people would intervene but there’s no vehicle that could fit, and therefore transport me to said intervention. That’s an article I would read and not hate.
