Why a Food Lovers Diet Is Perfect for Action Heroes

By Rob Sutter


As we eat more food, it's common that we may gain weight as time goes on. Once we continue this regimen without seemingly any end in sight, we're going to start seeing some results and, most of the time, they aren't ones that will make us feel less self-conscious. Why is it, then, that heroic characters in action movies and television don't have that problem with a food lovers diet? They seem to be able to eat constantly and they wind up looking the same no matter how much time goes on.

A food lovers diet consists of a number of items but mostly produce and lean meats are going to be found. These are the foods which are going to contain the highest levels of nutrients, at least in my estimation. There are also fewer instances of cholesterol, if any at all, which means that this diet is theoretically anything but unhealthy. This is the message that authorities on the matter like Quorn work to perfect and I think that it has seen success.

Action heroes need to be able to perform well or else they aren't living up to their titles. Between battling people hand-to-hand and traversing obstacles that the enemy has placed in front of them, it's clear that a good deal of energy has to be had. I think that this diet would be perfect for them, considering how much food is consumed and how beneficial it is for their body. However, this is an idea that, in my mind, isn't conveyed well in these forms of media.

For instance, you commonly see these heroes go through the movies without ever eating anything substantial. Nonetheless, they are going through, taking the fight to various foes without ever showing signs of fatigue up until they get to the main villain of the story. You can chalk this up to a supposed increased level of strength and how who they're opposing isn't going to match up well in execution. Still, some form of weakness would be very much appreciated for those who like realism.

With films like "Lord of the Rings," the importance of food is highlighted more so, especially with Sam taking the time to ration the portions between himself and Frodo. It's apparent that a lot of movies look at this element differently and it, in turns, causes you to feel differently for certain characters. Are you going to empathize with any of Arnold Schwarzenegger's characters in action movies? Instead, you're simply going to watch and see him act as an agent of brutality more than anything else.
