“The first day I went to the gym to train I was technically on vacation in Paris, but I wanted to get started right away because I knew it would be a lot of work,” says Colter. Before getting cast, the 40-year-old actor had avoided building too much muscle around his 6-foot-3 frame, in a calculated effort to keep the door open for a more diverse set of film roles. “I'm always eating right, but I wasn’t really training, and I was walking around pretty slim,” he says. “Then all of a sudden I needed to be popping out of my shirt.”

Colter took the first steps by opening up his laptop and devouring all of the fitness knowledge he could find online. From there, he pushed through late-night sessions at the gym, all while powering through back pain due to sciatica. The result is undeniable, with fans warmly embracing the series and the portrayal of its protagonist. So much so that Netflix’s streaming service was shut down by the amount of traffic after its release. Colter shared with us how he survived a year of training himself and how he’s preparing for the potential of a second season.
How was it to walk into that audition room?
I knew that going in there I wanted my take on the character to either be dead on, or dead wrong. Sometimes you get a second chance at a role, but I didn’t want to go in with that mentality. They had a good idea of what they wanted, and when I walked in, it all just sort of clicked. I really don’t know how to articulate how it happened.

How did you approach your training once you got the role?
Listen, I am not walking around looking like Luke Cage does at all. I knew that I needed to gain some weight to get the right build. The physicality for Luke Cage is important because the base material you’re dealing with is graphic novels, which are really all visual.
Had you ever taken on an endeavor like this in your career before?
You could say that I had. Before I starred in Million Dollar Baby, I wasn’t really a boxer. I just worked hard to learn as much as I could before we were there on set. This was similar in the fact that it was another physical role, and I knew that I was going to have to put in the same kind of work that I did back then.
How did you get started?
I kept it pretty simple. I knew that I had to eat right, get into the gym and put that work in. Some people act like there is so much mystery in getting fit, but the only secret there is to making it happen is time. I knew it was going to be a hard battle, and I was ready to put the time in.
You were training while you were also on set filming. Did it get difficult to find the moments you could get a session in?
Sometimes I would step off the set and it is 10 at night. Sure I’d love to go home, and study my lines for the next day, but that is when I had to train. And though it may be hard to get in there, being in the gym alone is great. There is no one to bother you, and I was able to truly focus.
What were the exercises that allowed you to get the right gains?
It was really all about the fundamental workouts. I was doing a lot of deadlifts. I did squats when I could, but I also have sciatica, which can really kill me sometimes. It makes it difficult to pull them off without getting pain. So sometimes instead I would get the same sort of results by doing some heavy leg presses or lunges to keep the stress off my spine.
Did your diet change greatly?
I usually eat pretty clean. There are a lot of vegetables and lean protein. The mornings I stick with an egg white omelet, and in the evenings something like a lean fish, such as salmon, with a bunch of veggies on the side.
How do you think you managed without a trainer or nutritionist?
You need to find that drive. You need to know what you’re working toward. But I think if we do more I may actually work with someone. It is just that I’ve been playing this role for over a year now. I’m really starting to get bored with myself, doing the same workouts. “Oh here we go again.” I need someone to crack the whip. I need someone to kick my butt, because sometimes I can end up taking it pretty easy on myself.
So can we hope for a second season?
You know we have to let the fan response happen first. But the showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker actually already has a few ideas, and they’re great. Funnily enough we were brainstorming recently at a hotel during a midnight workout together. I’m just hoping that Marvel and Netflix allow us to do some more.
Why? The the exact opposite of what he would have wanted. If you learned anything from Chadwick is to remain professional and the show must go on. There is no quitting or feeling sorry for yourself.

Study reveals effect of fast food on liver - Daily Trojan
Study reveals effect of fast food on liver
“The elephant in the room is ultra-processed foods. And fast foods are ultra-processed. The study that looked at the consumption of ultra-processed foods, which includes fast foods … finds that as much as 10% of all premature deaths in individuals, ages 30 to 69, were due to overconsumption of fast foods,” said Kreutzer, referring to the study that studied 57,000 individuals in Brazil. “In terms of food, it is looking for healthier choices when you are eating out and we are seeing more and more of that where you can go to a place where they do have whole foods, where it’s not heavily processed.”
Here’s How Fast Food Can Affect Your Body – Cleveland Clinic
Why is fast food bad for you?
Different foods can affect everyone in different ways, but here are just some of the things that frequently eating fast food might do to your body:
Raise your blood pressure
Many fast food items are packed with sodium, which acts as a preservative and enhances taste. “Everything that’s processed, packaged or boxed is going to have sodium,” Geib says.
The problem is, high-sodium diets are known to increase blood pressure, which puts stress on your cardiovascular system. Over time, high blood pressure can stiffen or narrow your blood vessels, becoming a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
Ideally, most adults should try to keep their salt intake under 1,500 milligrams per day, according to the American Heart Association — though its current recommendations allow for up to 2,300 milligrams daily. Because sodium is so prevalent in our diets, it can add up quickly.
For example, one bacon cheeseburger alone can get you pretty close to the daily recommended 1,500 milligrams of sodium. So can a large piece of fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes and gravy. Even seemingly healthier options, like an Italian-style sub sandwich, can contribute more than 1,000 milligrams to your daily intake.
Leave you bloated
Eating meals that are high in sodium, high in fat or heavy with refined carbohydrates (such as bread, buns or breading) can all leave you feeling bloated. And, if you add a soda to your meal, the carbonation could make it worse. Bloating should only be temporary, but it could cramp your style if you’re wearing pants that are tighter in the waist or if you’re trying to get rings on or off your fingers.
Drive up your cholesterol
Food that’s fried in oil is high in fat — and that includes saturated fat. Eating too much saturated fat can drive up your LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol, which puts you at risk for heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends that no more than 6% of your daily calories come from saturated fat. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, that’s about 13 grams, or the amount that’s in one bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.
Contribute to digestive problems
Bagels, muffins and anything breaded might be delicious, but they’re all processed carbohydrates that lack fiber. Eating adequate amounts of fiber (25 to 35 grams a day) helps keep things moving in your digestive tract. It lowers your risk for diverticulitis and other conditions associated with straining or constipation, such as hemorrhoids and hernias.
Dietary fiber also helps your good gut bacteria flourish and keeps you feeling full. If you rely heavily on fast food, you’ll struggle to get the recommended amount. For example, a coffee-shop blueberry muffin will give you nearly 20% of your daily carbohydrate needs but only a gram or two of fiber.
Lead to weight gain
If you go to the drive-thru and grab a value meal for dinner, chances are you’ll end up eating a bigger portion (and higher-calorie foods) than you would if you were cooking at home. If that becomes a regular thing, all those extra calories can add up to extra pounds. And when those calories are mostly from highly process carbohydrates, you might end up feeling hungry again within a few hours, which can lead to — you guessed it — even more extra calories.
Then there’s the sugar factor. Sugar is a major culprit in the obesity epidemic. It hides in a lot of foods, including drinks and sauces. Guess how much sugar is in your morning café mocha? Upwards of 25 grams. Or in that vanilla milkshake? More than 80 grams, if you make it a large. That’s nearly 20 teaspoons!
Drain your energy
A quick hit of refined carbohydrates and sugar causes a spike in your blood sugar, which prompts your body to produce a surge of insulin to quickly bring it down. This spike-and-crash cycle can leave you feeling tired and cranky.
Meanwhile, a balanced meal with protein, healthy fats and fiber-rich carbohydrates takes longer for your body to digest and absorb. This slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream, so you get sustained energy without a crash.
Affect your mood
When you eat a diet that’s high in saturated fat, sodium, sugar and refined carbs, you’re not only getting too much of those things, but you’re also missing out on a lot of other important nutrients. Fruits and vegetables — beyond the iceberg lettuce and tomato slices that come on fast food sandwiches — are rich with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that nourish your body and improve your mood.
Eating a lot of processed foods may even increase your risk for depression.
