Dwayne “The Rock”Johnson follows a very low-calorie diet.
Johnson stated that he begins every day with a cardio exercise on an empty stomach and then fills it up with six to seven meals during the day. Men’s Journal.

Johnson might lose weight if he is eating lean protein, good fats, and engaging in regular cardio that burns calories.
The Rock has become known for his defined muscles, and vascularity — highly-visible, prominent veins.
Achieving that vascularity happens due to an excessive reduction in fat which allows for maximum muscle definition, according to Healthline.
Johnson’s use of fasted cardio to burn calories early in the morning could be one reason he can put on so much muscle while remaining defined and veiny.
