The seven-meal menu includes a 10 egg-white omelet, two pounds of cod, half a pound of steak and chicken, two cups of oatmeal, tons of vegetables and enough calories to propel the _Furious 7_ star through any and all smackdowns. It’s a diet fit for a man who goes by a nickname like “The Rock,” but it might be a bit much for a mere mortal. This was proven by a staffer at [_Complex_](http://youtu.be/kjZv97v6hrI) who was dared to try the intense plan for just one day. There were a few problems: He is not the same size as The Rock. He also hates fish and would have to stomach 36 oz of it throughout the day. He did his best, though, which in this case, means only throwing up once. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3851632/guy-tries-the-rock-diet-plan/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3851632/guy-tries-the-rock-diet-plan/"},"headline":"Watch This Guy Try to Follow The Rock's Insane Diet Plan for a Day","datePublished":"2015-05-08T16:19:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:28.740Z","description":"It didn't go very well","url":"https://time.com/3851632/guy-tries-the-rock-diet-plan/","keywords":["Newsfeed","diet","viral","food and drink","the rock","dwayne johnson"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3851632/guy-tries-the-rock-diet-plan/","name":"Watch This Guy Try to Follow The Rock's Insane Diet Plan for a Day"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"100 Years of Blockbusters in 5 Minutes","description":"Time has taken the highest grossing film each year for the past century and crammed them into 5 and a half minutes.
