Here's How Hulk Hogan Lost 40 Pounds

Hulk Hogan is turning 70 this summer – and is in the best shape of his life. The wrestling legend opens up about how he lost 40 pounds in a new interview with Men’s Health. “About 15 years ago my body kinda shut down on me. I had several knee surgeries, and then after wrestling 40 years almost, my body shut down on me,” he said. “I went in for one back surgery and it was turned into 10 back surgeries. Both knees needed to be replaced. Both hips were replaced. A couple surgeries on my face from getting my orbital socket broken a couple times. And it ended up being 25 or 26 surgeries, or a couple more, over a 10- or 12-year period,” he continued, confessing “it changed the game on me. It made everything different for me.” How did he lose the weight and get into the best shape ever? Read on to see 8 ways Hulk Hogan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. He Changed One Thing: Everything

Hulk revealed that he changed one thing to prioritize his health: Everything. “I changed my whole lifestyle because at the time, being in so much pain and getting older and older I couldn’t carry that much weight. When you are sedentary and not wrestling or moving every night, it’s easy to put weight on. So, I decided to drop weight and get down to about 265. Actually, the last time I weighed 265 was in ninth grade,” he says in the interview.

2. He Quit Drinking

Hulk also put down the bottle. “I don’t drink alcohol at all,” he told Men’s Health, revealing that he hadn’t sipped alcohol in six months. “It got to be a way to numb me a little bit, because I had a bunch of crazy business problems and personal stuff going on,” he explained. “And I caught myself after I would train, getting too aggressive with alcohol. So I just had to stop it.”

3. He Hydrates

Hulk also revealed that he prioritizes hydration – and the only thing he drinks is water. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

4. Here Is What He Eats in a Day

“I wasn’t educated in terms of quality of food. Or quantity. I was just hungry all the time,” Hulk told the publication. When he took the camera inside of his fridge he exclaimed: “Everything in here is organic. We've got the yogurts, we've got blueberries, we've got almond milk, protein to wash down vitamins.” For breakfast he eats “couple yogurts, a banana, and organic coffee.” For lunch he enjoys chicken or steak or sashimi. And for dinner, chicken or steak or sashimi.

5. He Quit Sugar and Dairy, But Still Indulges in Sweets

Hulk stopped eating sugar, “When I realized it caused a whole bunch of inflammation in my joints,” he said. “Sugar had to be eliminated immediately cuz I was trying to figure out why being completely healthy was much more important to me than, you know, making my body numb.” Now his sweet treats include vanilla sandwiches, almond milk, mocha chocolate fudge almond milk, caramel crusted, non-dairy frozen dessert, and acai. “Woo bad to the bone,” he exclaimed.

6. This Is His Cheat Meal

Luckily, I did not. I was too scared to give up the food that I thought was bringing me comfort.”

5. Her Weight Loss Journey Is “An Act of Self Love”

“I know there are many ways to lose weight quicker, but it comes down to calories in versus calories expended,” she continued. “For me, this was an act of self love ... knowing which food made me feel like shit and also knowing I can't eat it. The result has been weight loss, more energy, feeling more positive, hopeful, in control and confident. I'm not counting calories or going too cray cray with the scale.”

Hogan has a tried-and-true diet when she wants to get into good physical shape. “I’m trying hard to get down even more,” she says. “You need to keep to the old-school bodybuilder diet of eggs, fish, chicken, meat and broccoli. I want to always look healthy, not anorexic.”

2. Running Workouts

Hogan likes to go running as part of her workout regimen. “We all know running has many benefits — it decreases stress, it increases cardiac health, it decreases weight, it helps your mind and mood,” says interventional spine specialist Santhosh Thomas, DO, MBA. “You should at least start with a nice, healthy walk, and then move onto jogging and then perhaps consider a little faster pace."

3. Good Foundation

Hogan is kickstarting her fitness routine again, but says she is grateful past training and workouts have kept her in shape. “Luckily years of weight training helped me keep some sort of shape in these few years I've basically not worked out or eaten right,” she says. “What bothers me the most is that I can feel it in my bones. I'm not even concerned with weight, I just want to be strong again.”

4. Weight Training

Weight training is part of Hogan’s workout routine, and is shown to be beneficial for bone health. “Weight training helps your bones because bone is a living tissue and can rebuild itself when stress is placed on it,” according to Penn State. “Lifting weights places stress on your bones, which results in your bones increasing in density in order to support the stress being placed on them.”

5. Positive Body Image

Hogan hasn’t always had the best relationship with her body but has learned to appreciate it. “I love my body,” she says. “Thick or not, I’m firm. I don’t have cellulite. I’m happy with how I am. People should know, I’m only doing the diet for the entertainment business. It’s not really what you’re supposed to look like in real life.”

2. She Decided to “Turn Over a New Leaf”

“I’m ready to change my ways; I’ve been saying I’m ready to turn over a new leaf, but I’m running out of trees now.

On her TLC docuseries, I Am Jazz, she revealed that her eating issues started as a result of mental health struggles in 2019. That year she deferred her admission to Harvard University. “Having all this extra weight, I can’t do so many things with my body that I used to be able to do,” she said on a November 2021 episode of her show. “I do experience fat-shaming from my family. It makes me feel really humiliated.”

1. She Gained Weight Due to IVF

Kashmera explained to The Times of India that she gained weight when undergoing IVF. “I stopped looking after myself,” she admitted. She started eating “anything and at odd times” and failing to exercise. “The entire focus got shifted,” she continued. She ignored herself until January 2020, when she stepped on the scale and realized she had put on over 26 pounds.

2. She Worked with a Nutritionist

Kashmera revealed that her IVF doctor put her in touch with a nutritionist in early January 2020. “So, I started my diet and workout regime,” she continued. During the lockdown she fell into a depression and started losing even more weight. She even started to eat less in fear that she would run out of food due to supply chain issues.

3. Cooking Helped Her Lose Weight

Kashmera found a new hobby during the pandemic. “I started cooking during the lockdown which I have never done. I started cooking healthy food and Krushna started losing weight because of me,” she said about her husband. “I began eating healthy food, smaller portions and suddenly in October I checked my weight.” She discovered she had lost 24 pounds. “I didn't even realise that I had lost so much weight because I did not step out of the house and wore clothes which I wear at home like shorts, t-shirts. We all were shocked.” She went on to lose over four more pounds.

4. It’s All About Discipline

Kashmera believes her weight loss all boiled down to setting goals and actively achieving them. “I realised that discipline is everything,” she explained.

5. The Buddy System Also Helped Her

Kashmera maintains that her weight loss journey motivated her husband as well. “I told him very clearly to eat whatever you want to eat at night, but during the day you will eat what I give you,” she said. As a result, he lost over 15 pounds.
