“I went, like, years without eating carbs.” The star then added, “When I shot Baywatch, I didn't have a carb for, like, six months. I almost lost my mind. You need this. I still can't get over how this diet of carbs and low protein is the exact opposite of everything any trainer has ever taught me.”
In the run up to his shoot on the set of Baywatch, Efron went zero carbs for nine days - presumably to get rid of sub-cutaneous water to look extra ripped. 9 days of absolutely zero carbs & sugar. Only organic grass fed/free range protein and organic leafy greens.
Anyone who's seen the movie can attest that Efron's body looks almost unreal on screen. That's because the process of achieving the muscly physique involved extreme tactics, including overtraining, eating the same three meals a day, and taking a powerful diuretic called Lasix, reports the publication.
Zac Efron Says Baywatch Diet Led to 'Bad Depression'
What did Zac Efron weigh in Baywatch?
For neighbors Zac Efron stands in a 5'9″ and weighs about 155-160 pounds. But for Baywatch, I would estimate that Zac Efron is about 5-10 pounds heavier putting him at 165-170 pounds.
I'd estimate him to be around 162-164 lbs at about 5'9, MAX. As well, I'd estimate his chest to be around 41” in circumference, his arms to be about 15” and his waist to be a very taut 29-30”. If you watch the movie, you can tell that Efron, isn't really that big when he's wearing a shirt or jacket.
"I started to develop insomnia and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out," Efron told Men's Health. "I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up."
Today, he has a straight, white smile with no gap. Many patients are surprised to learn that porcelain veneers can close small gaps between teeth without braces or aligners. Unlike braces, which may take several years to produce results, porcelain veneers require just two visits to complete.
This workout is a three-day split that has you training back and biceps on the first day, legs on the second, and shoulders, chest, and arms on the third. It's meant to be done in three consecutive days and then with one day off after that.
This includes cutting back carbohydrates to 50 grams a day or less, for at least two to three weeks up to six to 12 months, per the National Library of Medicine. Other researchers warn that sticking to the diet long-term could even be dangerous.
“This is kind of weird, but I really like organ meats. I love liver and onions,” the High School Musical star told Men's Health. While Efron no longer follows a vegan diet, he admitted that he does have regrets about the lifestyle change, as “morally” he wishes he was able to be vegan.
Thankfully, Zac is now in recovery and works hard to stay clean and sober. He said that he had to make changes to his life to stay that way, adding, “What I found is structure.
Intermittent Fasting: Zac shared that after his illness, he chose to start intermittent fasting which included having 2 healthy meals per day. His meals contained a rich lean protein intake and vegetables and less carbs.
“I implemented an all-organic whole-food diet,” says his trainer, Patrick Murphy. Efron also supplemented with whey protein—“unflavored,” adds Murphy, who also stipulated it could contain no other ingredients (NOW Whey Protein Isolate is a good example). “He also hit a minimum of 100 ounces of water daily.”
To put things in perspective, her teeth have gone perfectly straight and whiter from uneven and misaligned ones. And, veneers are known for their ability to correct such imperfections. Aesthetical consistency: Taylor's teeth exhibit the kind of consistency that only comes with veneers.
Invisalign. Invisalign has become popular in the film and television communities because it affords on-screen performers the opportunity to straighten their teeth and improve their aesthetic without unsightly braces.
Zac Efron. Everybody remembers Zac Efron in his early Disney Channel days and his gapped smile. When he was a teenager, he had gaps between his teeth, and he chose to go with Invisalign to discreetly align his smile.
While Zac Efron clearly enjoys his role as an uncle, he is not ready to be a dad. The 35-year-old has grown into more adult roles since he first rose to teen dream fame, and recently played the father of actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the film Firestarter.
Efron was on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2008 at number 92, with estimated earnings of $5.8 million from June 2007 to June 2008. In April 2009, his personal wealth equaled about $10 million. In May 2015, Efron's net worth was $18 million. In March 2014, Efron engaged in a fight with a homeless man on Skid Row.
"The masseters just grew," he explained, adding, "They just got really big." Men's Health also noted that the High School Musical alum's now appears to be back to normal, as his jaw looked "much as it has always looked," at the time of the interview.
Zac had the drive, motivation, and grit. He was so ready for everything. He went through a lot of two-a-days. I'd put him through a serious weight-training workout, then he'd do lifeguard training for two or three hours, or bike for about 30 miles.
Complete with sandy colored locks, chiseled bod, and a blindingly white smile, stunt man JJ Dashnaw is a dead ringer for the former High School Musical star. This is probably why he was cast as the heartthrob's stunt double in Efron's new beach comedy Baywatch.
