The former People’s Sexiest Man Alive told the outlet that people often expect the ‘secret’ to have something to do with a restrictive diet or a strict and secretive exercise regimen.
‘People ask, ‘Can you send me a meal plan? How many times a week do you exercise? do you drink Do you eat carbs? Do you have a cheat day?”’ Rudd recalled.
Although he is dedicated to cardio every day and a minimum of three days of weight lifting, Rudd believes that ‘the most important part of training is sleep.

Later, Rudd detailed his daily routine which starts with coffee and cardio on an empty stomach – something he said he ‘wouldn’t do’ before signing on to play Marvel superhero Ant-Man.
He continued: ‘I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week.’
Rudd entered the Marvel Universe in 2015 and appeared as Ant-Man in the 2018 sequel, and the upcoming film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
With years of superhero training under his belt, Rudd has ‘learned a lot about how my body reacts to food, how it reacts to exercise, and where I’m happiest and how that affects me mentally.
‘If I am [superhero] suit, walking around playing a character that is supposed to be a superhero, I just feel better. And I feel less like a liar.’

Rudd’s diet is simple and consistent. He told Men’s Health that he eats eggs every day, incorporates salmon into most of his meals and enjoys protein shakes with a mix of protein powder and water.
‘Sounds like hell. Absolutely not. I find solace in routine,’ he insists. “There is no office that we have to go to every day where we see the same people and do the same work.
‘Routine is a human need. It’s basic in a positive and healthy way.’
