Mark Sinclair Vincent, better known as Vin Diesel, has become one of the "go-to" action movie heroes in Hollywood. His well-built body weighing about 215 lbs and 6 feet tall frame made him an American icon to look up to. His 30+ year career is attributed not only to his deep voice and "go get 'em" attitude but also to his cut body he gets chiseled up every time a new film comes along.
Vin got his start in acting when he was seven years old after he and his friends broke into the Theater for New York City with plans to vandalize it. A woman who worked there caught them, gave them a script and $20, and agreed to let them go if they showed up for rehearsals every day after school.
From there, the Fast & The Furious star kept pushing, just like he pushes his body. In fact, now at 56-years-old, Vin is in one of the best shapes of his life. Vin shared his diet and workout plan to clarify on how he manages to transform with every role.

To promote his exemplary bodybuilding and toned physique, Diesel has a comprehensive diet plan. He takes in massive calories. Often, these should be in a range of 300-500 calories every day. This does not mean eating a lot of fat, but a mass of carbohydrates. Exclusive consumption of carbohydrates will induce nutritional disorders. As such, the calorie intake should be accompanied with a gram of protein intake, multivitamins and omega-3 containing foods, but only in small amounts. Organic protein sources include soy-fortified foods and egg white. To reduce the fat intake considering that most carbohydrates have fat, fiber, vegetables and fruits should be present in the meals.
