Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Interesting. Tom Brady who's 45 and still playing like he's in his mid 20s also abides by a similar diet. But honestly, only someone that's a borderline crazy can stick to this diet for a long period of time.


Brady typically starts his day by drinking “20 ounces of water with electrolytes,” which he then follows with a “high-calorie, high-fat, high-protein smoothie,” made of ingredients such as bananas, blueberries, nuts, and seeds, according to the TB12 website.

He follows with a breakfast of eggs and avocado.

After his workout, and multiple times throughout the day, Brady supplements his diet with a protein shake made of vegan protein, with his lunch consisting of 80 per cent vegetables.

The football player then snacks on nuts and seeds, as well as hummus or guacamole, before having a dinner that follows the same 80/20 rule.


According to the TB12 website, Brady often concludes his daily eating with a “steaming cup of bone broth”.

As for what he avoids, his personal chef previously revealed in an interview with Boston.com that there are numerous foods and food groups that Brady steers clear from, including white sugar and MSG.

“No white sugar. No white flour. No MSG. I'll use raw olive oil, but I never cook with olive oil. I only cook with coconut oil. Fats like canola oil turn into trans fats. ... I use Himalayan pink salt as the sodium. I never use iodised salt,” Allen Campbell said at the time, adding that the football player also avoids “nightshades, because they're not anti-inflammatory,” which also includes tomatoes and eggplant, nor does he consume caffeine, fungus or dairy.

According to Brady, avoiding foods that cause inflammation is especially important because inflammation is already an unavoidable part of being an athlete.

“Some younger players don’t give too much thought to nutrition. They think they can eat anything they want, and their bodies will burn off the damage. The problem is that by eating inflammatory foods, they’re eating things that create inflammation on top of the weight lifting they’ve done on top of the football game they just played on Sunday,” he explained. “That’s an inflammation response times three. As I said, if I know my body will experience inflammation every Sunday during the season, the last thing I want to do is stack on more inflammation on top of it - not if I want to feel great every time I take the field.”

Brady also avoids eating anything three hours before going to bed each night, as research suggests that eating late at night may increase body fat.

“It really doesn’t matter how much exercise you do if you’re not eating the right food and providing your body the right nutrients,” he wrote in the book.

However, the strict diet doesn’t mean that the quarterback avoids cheat days or cheat meals, as he told Men’s Health that he doesn’t mind treating himself when a craving arises.

"If I’m craving bacon, I have a piece. Same with pizza. You should never restrict what you really want. We’re humans, here for one life," he told the outlet. “What’s changed as I’ve gotten older is now if I want pizza, I want the best pizza. I don’t eat a slice that tastes like sh*t and then wonder: ‘'Why am I eating sh*t pizza?'"

We been over this before loads, in various forums.

He knows, or has been well advised, what path to try to stick to, to minimise the stress of friction in the body, or fight between autonomic states/pH states.

My personal journey has compelled me to understand things in this area pretty deeply, you are what you eat is a short feedback loop most steadfastly deny and continues through life.

My website is about this stuff, balance of energy forces in the body, to avert stress, discord, illness, it's the compelling study of my life, one which has led me to meet great people, take part in great work.

Not sure if it had already been mentioned, but as well as his dietary preferences for the players, Conte is also very specific on sex too.

"During the season, I advise my players to have sex for short periods and with the minimum of effort," he told L'Equipe.

"[And they] better use positions where they are under their partners. And preferably, with their wives, because if with others, well, that needs extra action."
Mrs P might be in the Conte out camp now

Conte's Biography "The Men Who Lay Below And Stare At Rubies Won Me The Prem With Spurs!"
 
I’ve come to the conclusion (purely conjecture) that Nuno was the cheapest hire available whilst Paratici continued to chase Conte.

Everything Paratici has been doing was to get Conte in. We didn’t entertain any of Nuno’s targets. He was a patsy to sit in the dugout whilst we went after our target.

I think you’re spot on. The plan was conte and if that didn’t work wait for Poch to get sacked. Nuno was never really the manager. And the players knew it.

There in lies the rub, an elite athlete may have a slice...
