We have all seen Arnold Schwarzenegger back in his prime when he won the Mr. Olympia title seven times. But even today, the seventy-seven-year-old actor looks absolutely phenomenal, giving younger men some serious complex. Guess that’s just what happens when you prioritize consistency and stick to a few basic tips and tricks. As far as Arnold Schwarzenegger is concerned, no gimmicks or popular diets are going to get you your desired outcome as much as hard work will.
If you’re looking for some serious advice from the Governator himself, you might want to read further. A couple of years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Reddit to answer fans and enthusiasts’ queries on fitness and left them with the most important tip of all time – stick to your proteins!
Arnold Schwarzenegger swears by a protein-rich diet
One look at Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s body will have you motivated to get yourself a gym membership. The guy is 77 years old, for crying out loud, and he still probably could lift more than those half his age.
Taking to Reddit, Schwarzenegger opened up about his diet and why it is important to include protein in your meals if you are looking to build lean muscle and get rid of unwanted fat.
When asked what foods he recommends for those “trying to gain weight and muscle,” Schwarzenegger’s simple advice was to “focus on simple things” and get protein in every meal. Simple enough.
Right now, there is a lot of hype around measuring your calorie intake and counting your macros. However, Schwarzenegger is quite old-fashioned when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet. In his opinion, overthinking nutrition can often lead to discouragement, and we cannot agree more.
So basically, some of Schwarzenegger’s best pieces of advice are – go protein-rich, keep things simple, listen to your body, and most of all, stay consistent in what you do. Miracles don’t happen overnight!
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s go-to protein shake and his opinion on supplements
While Schwarzenegger speaks highly of protein, it can be quite difficult for an average person to fulfill their daily intake, especially if they are not big eaters, just like him.
His suggestion? Go for protein shakes. When asked how he manages to complete his protein intake every day, he candidly replied that since he hasn’t ever been a “big eater,” protein shakes are his lifesavers.
As for his go-to protein shake, he combines banana, almond milk, cherry juice, and the occasional schnapps in his blender. He combines it with plant protein from his and LeBron James’ nutrition company, Ladder.
Coming to supplements, Schwarzenegger fully believes that no one should rely on them completely, especially when natural sources are available to them. In his opinion, training and diet come first, and people should only invest in good supplements once they are “dialed in.”
So, there you have it. If you really want to look as good as he does in his late seventies, you know what to do! After all, Schwarzenegger does seem like the kind of guy who knows what he is talking about.
