“There's just too little water in the skin. Like, it's fake; it looks CGI'd. And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve.” Efron said he was taking diuretics, overtraining and eating the same three meals every day while also not getting enough sleep due to filming and his intense training regimen.
Working with Murphy, Efron himself only went the water and whey protein powder route. However, Murphy made sure that the whey they used was of the very highest quality—even opting for unflavored types in order to make sure it was as pure as possible.
Efron is trained under the guidance of Patrick Murphy to develop a Baywatch body. After training for just 12 weeks, the 31-year-old actor attained 5 percent body fat.

Zac Efron Reveals What He Took To Get Shredded For Baywatch
How did Zac Efron lose weight?
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.
My body wasn't processing the vegetables in the right way," Efron explains to Men's Health. "So, I decided to stop it and try something new. Intermittent fasting has been really helpful with that." Now, he only eats two meals daily, and both have their fair share of meat.
By the end of the 11 season run, not a single member of the original cast was still in the cast. David Hasselhoff appeared in the most episodes (totalling 206 including the pilot), followed by Jeremy Jackson (117), Michael Newman (109), and Pamela Anderson (77).
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.
The actor told Men's Health he was overtraining, eating a limited diet, and dehydrating to achieve the beach-ready physique for the movie. "That Baywatch look, I don't know if that's really attainable," he said. "Like, it's fake; it looks CGI'd."

World 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica has tested positive for a banned substance. A sample taken from the 31-year-old at the Jamaica Invitational on 4 May tested positive for a banned diuretic - something which is viewed as a masking agent by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Diuretics are drugs that change the body's balance of fluids and salts. They can cause the body to lose water, which can lower an athlete's weight. Diuretics also may help athletes pass drug tests that check for signs of drugs in the urine. They dilute the urine and may hide traces of drugs.
From the start, Murphy says Efron was “100 per cent committed” to achieving the look of an uber-ripped lifeguard. Before they even set foot in a gym together Efron was already around 10 per cent body fat. Throughout the training window he reduced this by half, while adding 3.6kg of lean muscle.
It's not real." For his role starring alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 2017's Baywatch, Zac Efron embraced a life of hitting gruelling workouts twice daily and going "virtually carb-free" to create a physique that, even four years later, continues to redefine the archetypal Hollywood transformation.
Newman tells PEOPLE he essentially started off as a "stuntman" on Baywatch, appearing for seven years before finally securing a spot in the opening credits. As the only real-life lifeguard in the cast — not to mention a working firefighter — he says he was "too useful" to get rid of.
Will Rogers State Beach was the primary filming location of Baywatch. The Baywatch production sites are all over California, but the beach is located on Santa Monica Bay, in the Pacific Palisades suburb of Los Angeles.

Zac Efron had a gorgeous smile makeover with veneers. They could be Zirconia dental veneers. They look natural, and the color is perfect for his skin tone. His dental work is impeccable.
"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."
