Interesting diet notes about Winter Olympians
As a lifelong “Fat Guy,” I’ve been interested in various diets and diet ideas, looking for sort of a “Universal Diet Cure” to all things — or some sort of diets that work on all occasions. Diets being on my mind, I Googled “Olympic diet” at Google News and found some fascinating things.According to one report I found, U.S. Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir’s ideal training diet, apparently, is little or no food at all. The article said Weir’s early training diet starting in July or August is coffee or a can of a well-known liquid food supplement for breakfast, no lunch, and a small, early dinner. He admits that’s probably an odd diet and not for everyone, and says that, “it sounds crazy to just completely cut yourself off food but it makes you stronger.”
In contrast, U.S. Olympic women’s bobsled driver Bree Schaaf works with a nutritionist to develop and follow a diet tailor made to her specific hormone profile and body structure.
Ah, rats! So much for my search among Olympians for the “perfect” diet. To be truthful about it, I know — at least as far as weight loss goes — there’s a fundamental body/diet principle that lies at the heart of all successful dieting: Fewer calories in and more body motion/exercise out equals successful weight loss.
But some classy, revolutionary fade diet or eating plan would really add to the glamor and adventure aspects of it. Thanks for nothing on that score, Olympians!
