Bautista reveals plan that helped him shed 75lbs, shocking fans

Action movie star Dave Bautista has wowed fans with his drastic weight loss, having dropped 75 pounds in just over two years.

The former WWE star began training after filming wrapped on the 2023 release Knock at the Cabin. At the time, he weighed 315 pounds, which was higher than when he wrestled professionally.

Losing the added pounds, which he packed on with help from French fries and pancakes, took a lot of work.

To do it, he cut his calorie intake to 2,500, around 1,000 fewer calories than the Mayo Clinic recommends for a person of his age and size to lose weight.

He fasted until at least 1pm and then ate largely vegetarian, with eggs and fish added in for protein, and he ate his last meal at least three hours before bed.
