吃生肉,过“穴居”生活,能否让你变得像“巨石”德恩·约翰逊一样,获得线条明显的肌肉?另外一位满身肌肉的约翰逊刚刚坦白他服用了类固醇。
作为网上知名的“原始生活”大师,被称为“肝王”的约翰逊在YouTube、TikTok和Instagram上向数百万粉丝谎称,他壮硕的体型都源自不同寻常的饮食习惯和严格的健身方法。
他和妻子声称自己坚持的这种“原始”生活方式,应该能带来“力量、健康和快乐”,包括按照“九个祖传法则”生活:吃、睡、运动、保持快乐、开展人际交往、享受寒冷、晒太阳、战斗和维持亲密关系。他生吃肝脏、骨髓甚至牛睾丸。
在社交媒体以外,肝王创建了自己的品牌Heart & Soil和Ancestral Supplements,通过销售蛋白质补充剂和烘干动物内脏年赚1亿美元。在他的店铺,每瓶含草饲牛肝脏的胶囊售价为30美元至65美元。
45岁的肝王本名布莱恩·约翰逊,他此前曾否认了对自己服用类固醇的指控。他在马克·贝尔的《Power Project》播客中表示:“我不会碰类固醇。从来没用过那种东西。未来也不会服用。”
然而,如今约翰逊已经被撕下了伪装。他在上传到YouTube上的一条视频中承认:“我撒谎了,误导了许多人……是的,我服用了类固醇,目前正在服用,而且有一位经过训练的激素临床医生负责监测和管理我的身体状况。”
这位网红承认,他每周服用120毫克睾丸酮,并为自己误导粉丝和声称他的体型是“完全自然的”,向粉丝道歉。
在此之前,曾有另外一位YouTube用户More Plates More Dates发布了一条长达一个小时的视频,曝光肝王使用类固醇,每个月要为此花费12,000美元。
视频中包括一封被曝光的肝王写给一位营养师的邮件,他在邮件中证实自己服用了类固醇,并要求对方提供更多类固醇,邮件中还附上了血液检测的结果。
肝王为什么撒谎?
肝王将自己的行为归咎于不安全感:“有85%的人口备受自尊问题的折磨,我就是其中之一。
他说,自己树立的形象是“要向每天自杀的4,000人和尝试自杀的80,000人传播信息,[并]提高他们的意识。”他还表示,他“战斗”的目的是为了宣传“原始生活”,将其作为一种解决方案。
肝王还坦白,他并没有充分意识到自己的行为带来的后果。他说道:“在社交媒体上走红之前,我很富有,但默默无闻。在社交媒体上走红之后,我依旧富有,但不再默默无闻……我从未想过会这样暴露在公众眼中。”(财富中文网)

Can living on a diet of raw meat and leading a “caveman” lifestyle really make you as ripped as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? Another ripped Johnson just came clean about his steroid use.
An internet-famous “primal living” guru, called Liver King, falsely convinced his millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram that his jacked physique was down to his unusual eating habits and rigorous fitness regime alone.
The “ancestral” lifestyle that he and his wife supposedly followed was intended to achieve “strength, health, and happiness” and included living according to the “nine ancestral tenants”: to eat, sleep, move, shine, connect, cold, sun, fight, and bond. He ate raw liver, bone marrow, and even bull testicles.

Social media aside, Liver King has already been making $100 million a year selling protein supplements and dried animal organs under his brands Heart & Soil and Ancestral Supplements. His shop charges $30 to $65 a bottle for capsules containing grass-fed beef liver.
The 45-year-old, whose real name is Brian Johnson, previously denied any accusations of steroid use, having said on Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast: “I don’t touch the stuff. I’ve never done the stuff. I’m not going to do the stuff.”
Johnson’s facade, however, has now dramatically dropped. In a video uploaded to his YouTube he revealed, “I lied, and I misled a lot of people…Yes, I’ve done steroids, and yes, I am on steroids, monitored and managed by a trained hormone clinician.”
The influencer admitted that he’s been taking 120mg of testosterone per week and apologized for misleading his followers and claiming that he really was “all-natural.”
Prior to his confession, Johnson was called out by another YouTuber called More Plates More Dates, who published an hour-long video exposing the influencer’s use of steroids, costing him $12,000 per month.
It included a leaked email from Johnson to a nutritionist confirming his steroid use and asking for more, and the results of a blood test.
Why did Liver King lie?
Johnson blamed his actions on his insecurities: “When I talk about the 85% of the population that suffers from self-esteem issues, that’s me. I’m part of that statistic.”
The persona, he said, was “an experiment to spread the message [and] to bring awareness to the 4,000 people a day who kill themselves, the 80,000 people a day that try to kill themselves,” adding that his “fight” was to promote “ancestral living” as a solution.
Johnson also confessed that he wasn’t fully aware of the consequences, saying, “Before social media I was rich and anonymous, and after social media, I’m still rich but no longer anonymous…I never expected this kind of exposure in the public eye.”
