Dwyane Johnson found his inspiration from his father Rocky Johnson

In the interview, the Fast and Furious star opened up on his food habits and how he developed them. The actor shared,

“I am a creature of habit when it comes to food. I usually eat the same thing every day for days and weeks and months. It’s very consistent, it’s boring and it’s also very disciplined. I picked this up from my old man (father Rocky Johnson), who was a hardcore gym fanatic. He was the first professional wrestler who had a bodybuilder’s body.”

Talking about the lessons he learned from his father, he shared,

“He told me very early not to eat to please the tongue but eat to nourish the body. He taught me when I was five. It’s probably why I need therapy.”

Dwyane Johnson’s father, Rocky Johnson was a professional wrestler, the first Black Georgia Heavyweight Champion and NWA Television Champion. He won the World Tag Team Championship in 1983 along with his partner Tony Atlas, and became the first black champion in WWE history.

My second meal, around 10:00 A.m., usually consists of a chicken breast, a complex carb like rice, and some greens. And dinner is fish or chicken, a complex carb like sweet potatoes, and some greens.”

In the case of macro counting, The Rock explained that he keeps track of his food intake. Johnson said,

“I do see results quickly when we adjust the macros. [The range: protein 40–45 percent, carbs 40–50 percent, fats 15–20 percent.] We’ve got it down to a science where we fine-tune the macros and I never feel hungry. That’s a key: Training and dieting down for a goal requires discipline, and you can often feel hungry.”
