In this episode, TMN Coach Jack Kessey and I are diving into Kumail Nanjiani’s transformation for his role in Marvel’s The Eternals. Over the course of a year, he got ripped with the help of a team of nutritionists, trainers, and caterers. Jack and I discuss why having a team behind you is crucial, some key takeaways from Kumail’s journey, and how to incorporate more protein into your diet whether muscle gain is your goal or not.

Some of the key takeaways from this episode are:

It sometimes takes a team of professionals to get you to your goals. Actors have access to personal trainers and personal chefs or catering services. Our team of Registered Dietitians is ready to help you, but also look into healthy meal prep services, a personal trainer you can meet with once a week, or whoever and whatever else can help you along the journey.
Patience is so important on your journey, just like Kumail says in his post. He strength trained for six years before getting “shredded” for The Eternals, so he had a strong foundation he built over a long period of time.
Try to add protein to your meals to help with fullness and to build muscle. Add chicken or some sort of meat to a salad, or put together a snack of greek yogurt and fresh fruit.
