Personal trainer Patrick Murphy “implemented an all-organic whole-food diet” when whipping Efron into shape for “Baywatch.” For Murphy, the method was time-tested and celebrity-approved. That is to say, the personal trainer has worked one-on-one with a slate of Hollywood stars throughout his career, including Keanu Reeves. Nevertheless, Zac Efron’s diet seems to endure as a special case, if only because of the undeniable results. It’s then no surprise that people have been Googling terms like “Zac Efron diet plan” and “Zac Efron weight loss” ever since he appeared in the otherwise unmemorable “Baywatch” movie.

Zac Efron’s height is about 5 ft. 10 and The Rock’s is 6 ft. 5. Yet when the two appear side by side in “Baywatch,” Efron more than holds his own. That’s all thanks to a downright effective workout plan, which coincided with the Zac Efron diet. By targeting key muscle groups throughout his body—namely his abs, biceps, chest, and shoulders—the actor came a very long way in very little time. In the process, he gave new meaning to the word “beach body.”
