The wrestling hall of famer recently did an interview with Men’s Health Magazine, a fellow Hearst publication, from his home in Clearwater Beach, Florida, and said his diet used to consist of a breakfast that featured “twelve fried eggs, two hamburger patties, oatmeal, and lots of butter.”
Today Hogan said a majority of his intake is water and organic foods.
“I wasn’t educated in terms of quality of food,” Hogan told Men’s Health. “Or quantity. I was just hungry all the time.”
Hogan said he’s down 40 pounds and is weighing in at 269, a weight he said he hasn’t been at since high school.
Now his meals are very health conscious with a breakfast that includes a “couple yogurts, a banana, and organic coffee,” and a lunch and dinner that has “chicken or steak or sashimi.”
Hogan, who continues a workout regiment, added, “I feel great ya know. Without and all the other extra stuff, you actually feel alive, because a little bit of pain makes you know you are alive.”
