'Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers. I did all three.'
The Dictator star went on to say he is 'hard launching my mid-life crisis' and 'debuting my new character: middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes'.
He also thanked his personal trainer Alfonso Moretti 'for doing the unthinkable – putting up with me for 25 mins a day'.
Commenting beneath his post on Instagram, @chelseahandler asked: 'Is this AI?'
@sierra.c.c also joked: 'I'm sorry, but thirst trap Borat was not on my 2025 bingo card.'
Meanwhile, @laurenaniess wrote: 'What? This is real!, while @wayne.tayco quipped: 'From Borat to gym rat.'
This comes after Sacha finalised his divorce from his ex Isla Fisher in June.
His latest role as Mephisto is his second live-action role since Borat Subsuquent Moviefilm in 2020.

Bebe's ‘light, care and spark' live on a year after Southport attack, family say
The six-year-old was killed along with Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, when Axel Rudakubana launched his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on July 29 last year. On Monday, a post on the Instagram account of Bebe's Hive referenced the youngster's 'favourite musical' Wicked with the quote: 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.' Bebe's Hive was set up by her family to provide support for grieving children through creativity and connection. The post, which appeared to have been written by Bebe's mother Lauren, referred to her as 'my mini me' and 'her dad's soulmate'. Flowers and tributes outside the Atkinson Art Centre in Southport last year (Paul Currie/PA) It said: 'It's time for us to take the space we need. To feel, to breathe, to hold each other close. To just be. 'To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn't know we had. A reason. A focus. 'We love and thank every single person who has helped us carry this. 'I feel her with me every day and that feeling is what keeps us going. 'Her light, her care, her spark – it lives on, and we'll continue it for as long as we can. 'To our incredible family and friends – thank you for keeping us afloat, while trying to keep yourselves above water. Thank you for loving Bebe so deeply and for riding this forever journey with us. 'To our amazing community – I don't think you realise what you've done. To everyone further, we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 'Your kindness has saved us. 'To Elsie and Alice, we never had the chance to meet you, but we feel like we know you. Your light shines so brightly through your parents, and we're proud to walk alongside them.' In a reference to the Taylor Swift song Bejeweled, the post went on to say: 'Our girls' energy will continue to shimmer. 'And to every brave child, every adult, every family whose lives were changed forever that day – we see you and we're sending you so much love.' A video of Bebe dancing and playing with a bubble machine accompanied the caption, along with photos of her. Sefton Council has asked people not to lay flowers to mark the anniversary of the attack but instead to consider donating to causes including Bebe's Hive, as well as Elsie's Story and Alice's Wonderdance, which were set up in the victim's memories. A three-minute silence will be held in the town at 3pm on Tuesday.
