The progress so far

 I'm doing good with the languages 

I am struggling with the food, though. 1 kg per week weight loss is good, but I am not keeping the diet, and that bugs me. Also, the exercises aren't happening :-(

Well, well, I have the rest of my life to do this :-D

I was watching the "Eat 10.000 kcal, burn 10.000 kcal" and I'm having difficulties understanding the thinking of these guys.

Ok, so they all have problems with sleeping because they start eating at midnight - something they don't usually do - and don't get enough sleep, the sleep isn't too good (because of the unusual, huge meal at midnight), and they are tired and not rested the next day. All these guys are good at exercising, so why do they change something so important the night before something so important?

Also, they don't drink/eat the way they usually do for heavy workout days. Which causes the exercise not to go as well and easy as it should. 

They also all eat just things like junk food, pastries, and candy, so their body isn't fuelled as well as it could be. 

Now, Dwayne Johnson is said to eat about 5000 kcal every day

“Power Breakfast” (meal #1)

According to his Instagram, the Rock enjoys a “Power Breakfast” after he finishes his first workout of the day:

flank steak (8 ounces)

eggs (whole and egg whites)

brown rice (1.5 cups)

sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers

Mid-morning (meal #2)

cod (8 ounces)

sweet potato (12 ounces)

vegetables (1 cup)

Lunch (meal #3)

chicken (8 ounces)

white rice (2 cups)

vegetables (1 cup)

Mid-afternoon (meal #4)

cod (8 ounces)

white rice (2 cups)

vegetables (1 cup)

fish oil (1 tbsp.)

Late afternoon (meal #5)

steak (8 ounces)

baked potato (12 ounces)

spinach salad

First dinner (meal #6)

cod (10 ounces)

white rice (2 cups)

salad (leafy greens)

Second dinner (meal #7)

egg white omelet (10 eggs)

vegetables (1 cup)

fish oil (1 tbsp.)

whey protein (30 grams)

The Rock gets a bulk of his calories throughout the day from protein and carbohydrates and a moderate amount of fat. His diet is balanced with lots of vegetables, protein, and complex carbohydrates.

Post-workout shake

The Rock also sometimes consumes a post-workout smoothie within 10 minutes of finishing his workout.

According to his Instagram, his post-workout smoothie contains:

65–70 grams of whey protein

1 apple

30 grams of carbohydrate powder

1 scoop of electrolyte powder

creatine

water

ice

I would use this as the base for the 10.000 kcal diet, just choose the fatter alternative (like salmon instead of cod, whole eggs instead of egg whites, chicken thighs instead of breast filets), add sauces, oil, butter, add nut butter to the workout smoothie, throw in a couple of dates, spoon in coconut oil in everything, it doesn't taste much but adds calories. 

I think I'd also divide it further, eat more often, small meals, to help my stomach deal with the amount of food. 

And then I would do a variation of the Iron Man race. Apparently, swimming 4 km, biking 180 km, and running a marathon burn about 8000-10.000 kcal. :-D
