The Rock Has a Very Special Routine for His Massive Cheat Meals

At this point, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's cheat meals are the stuff of legend. The actor works hard and trains hard while drinking a lot of water but he also indulges hard. His Sunday night cheat meals often include massive amounts of sushi, cookies the size of a small child's head, and double-shots of tequila.

The cheat meal Sunday Sushi Train rolled on this past weekend with some power and a ton of that wooosabi Great new doc on Netflix about one of my fav country artists, the icon himself, Johnny Cash. I wear the black for the poor and beaten down.. livin in the hopeless, hungry side of town. If you aint eatin - then you aint cheatin. Enjoy your cheat meals my friends and excuse me while I take greed and gluttony to new levels. #FilthyAnimal #SooshTrain A post shared by therock (@therock) on Nov 19, 2018 at 1:31am PST

The #SundayCheatMeal Cookie Train rolls on... its 1:30am (post Sushi Train) and time for dessert. Let me ES-plain what your eye balls are looking at right now/ Double milk chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies with creamy peanut butter smothered between the two cookies. The camera angle makes these nuggets look small, but theyre huge. How are they you ask? Well, theyre just like my nickname after I drink tequila - Big, tasty & heavenly. Ill go to hell for that one, but not before I take these cookies to pound town while watching the OG trailblazer himself, Quincy Jones doc on Netflix. Love it. I need to have tequila one day with this brilliant man. If you aint cheatin, then you aint eatin my friends. Enjoy! #SundayCheatMeal #HelloGluttony A post shared by therock (@therock) on Sep 24, 2018 at 1:31am PDT

But Johnson doesn't just stuff his face without a plan. As he explained to Jimmy Fallon during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show , there's a special routine that goes into these cheat meals.

First off, Johnson no longer mixes his cheat meals. When Fallon pulled up a photo of a plate of sushi and pancakes that Johnson once ate during the same meal, Johnson quipped that he "doesn't recommend that."

The Rock went on to explain that his cheat meals are "like church" due to their once a week occurrence and the meticulous planning that goes into it. "I open my computer and I sit there. But I have to wait until everybody is asleep. I put the babies down to sleep. Everyone goes to sleep, Lauren [Johnson's partner], everybody. So at like midnight, that's when I have my cheat meal. Like a troll," Johnson laughed.

While The Rock works out more than about 99% of the population, most nutritionists and weight loss experts agree that for the average person, cheat days can support your weight loss journey when done carefully and planned in advance .

And I mean, giving yourself a day to eat that loaded baked potato you were craving all week can't be all that bad.

Its not pretty, but its heavenly. #CheatMealSunday as I needed some good cheat day fats so I went with a 33oz Bone In Ribeye with a 1 pound loaded baked potato. Whole heartedly enjoyed in my office earlier this evening. For the record, Bone In Ribeye was my nickname in college on Saturday nights. TMI. Enjoy your cheat meals my friends - theyre well earned A post shared by therock (@therock) on Jun 2, 2019 at 10:05pm PDT

Midnight sugar train leaves the station. Brownies, blondies, peanut butter, chocolate chip and double chocolate cookies. With a fat slice of a cheesecake chaser. Now subvert all this sugar glory with a great Ken Burns documentary on PROHIBITION and we have ourselves a helluva party. Dont cheat yourself, treat yourself and enjoy your cheat meals my friends.
