Tom Brady and family do not eat white flour, white sugar, caffeine/coffee, dairy, and mushrooms.

sucks to be him

you dumb@sses.

Tom Brady is the epitome of the American dream and yet most people really hate him.

i don't get it.

people can't handle winners, because they aren't winners. they like farm boy blue-collar underdogs. not cold-blooded, never faulter under pressure expert executers of sport.

Tom Brady is well-hated, but should really be remembered as the greatest NFL quarterback of all time. no one wins more than him.

(i'm originally from wisconsin and a huge packers fan (and aaron rogers fan), for the record)

Wes Welker said that Brady was "probably the toughest metrosexual I've ever come across".

Really though, you've never seen Kenyans make tea. So much sugar. This includes elites.

Kenyan runners don't eat white sugar?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Go away, idiot.

Olympians and WC amoung them. One an Oly medalist in the 5000. Roommate won several road majors. Nutrition is vastly overrated in terms of running fast.

Bill Rodgers admitted in his bio that he would wake up in the middle of the night and eat a dozen Chips Ahoy, and grazed junk food all day long and downed brews at the fabled Elliott Lounge regularly. Didn't seem to hurt him or his 120 miles a week average or his results (he'd be on the Oly team for Rio based on his level of performance 35 years ago. Of course his coach was the wacky Billy Squires who also coached a young douche named Alberto.

ran a few times with Bill when he was in AZ during the winter months. great guy and, inline with this thread, definitely not someone who spent a lot of time worrying about nutrition.

if you're a distance runner it's all about feeding the furnace as far as running goes.

All three have four Super Bowl victories to their name. Only Brady has six conference championships to his name, the others have four each. Brady also has the most total post-season wins and highest winning percentage in the playoffs. By what metric is he not on a level above those two?

Frox news, so reliable.

No, I have it from good sources that Brady 'shrooms for games.

How much better could he have been if he had eaten quality food instead of garbage, processed, empty calories all the time...?

I am not a nutrition freak at all. I am eating a donut right now, but I do know that I feel and train much better when I eat healthy foods.

It's not just about feeding the furnace. Look at what happens to people's bodies and health when they eat shit all the time. Examples include the poor of Appalachia. Many are far from fat, but dying on the inside.

Nutrition matters. It is very important. Plenty of endurance athletes die of heart disease. One of them was a good friend of mine who ran under 9 in the 2-Mile as a HS senior.

they've been duped by a bunch of pseudo-science hogwash. i'll just leave this here:

People used brown sugar in their tea in nearby Malawi (in former British colonies, people "take tea" at regular times every day), where white sugar was not always available, so I assume the same is true in Kenya.

that's true, but Brady has the highest winning percentage of any top 50 winning quarterbacks - all time. he has 4 super bowl wins, just like montana and bradshaw, you are correct

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_wins_by_a_National_Football_League_starting_quarterback

basically, give any great quarterback in history 100 games to play and Brady will win more of those 100 games than any other quarterback.

Brady - .771

Staubach - .746

Montana - .713

Manning - .702

these are facts. doesn't matter if you hate his guts like I do. probably why i hate him so much, because i know he's going to win

Coffee is protective against all-cause morality. It reduces the risk of type- 2 diabetes, heart disease, many types of cancer, liver disease and Alzheimer's disease. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Cutting out coffee is NOT a healthy decision.

Coffee is protective against chronic diseases and therefore reduces the risk of death from many different causes. It reduces the risk of type- 2 diabetes, heart disease, many types of cancer, liver disease and Alzheimer's disease. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Cutting out coffee is NOT a healthy decision.

There are a million studies that you can use for or against anything in nutrition. Mr. and Mrs. Bundchen have found a diet that works for them so I don't see any advantage in missing with it. Besides, if they're eating mostly vegetables they're getting plenty of anti-oxidants already.

Which is precisely why coffee should be banned!

After some Googling, it sounds like your're right.

Brady's nutrition advice is coming from a quack who got into trouble with the FTC for pretending to be a doctor and selling quack cancer cures. Then he started selling supplements that supposedly prevented concussions from causing brain damage.

No one would expect a football player and a supermodel to be super geniuses, but why would anyone take nutrition advice from someone like that?

Anyhow, I'm glad there's not a good reason to cut out tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and coffee. Those are some of my favorite things.
