Health and running fitness are two very different and unrelated things
Health and running fitness are two very different and unrelated things
Please don't make me laugh. Kenyans love sugary tea. That's caffeine, sugar and milk right there!
There is a lot of rubbish going around about how Kenyans do all kinds of special things to be so good. Truth is, it's nearly always just a combination of talent, desire and poor drug testing (unfortunately). No special diets or unique training methods.
Also, they all eat ugali as their main source of carbohydrate, made from white maize flour...

The second story says tomato diet/Mediterranean diet, so it's still possible the nightshades are bad and the olives, or whatever, counter-act the side effects of the tomatoes
I've had eczema for decades, and it's clear that an increase in the intake of nightshades increases the chance of flareups for me. Does that stop me from eating it? Not really - I love Italian, Indian, and spicy food.This gives a decent general overview for the theory behind it:http://empoweredsustenance.com/are-nightshades-bad/

What is the basis for not eating tomatoes, mushroom, or peppers? They're not anti-inflammatories? Huh? What is the theory behind this? I'm not familiar with it.

Guys, don't make the mistake and bring Kenyans into the discussion here.
Here's a picture of a Kenyan runner:

That's interesting, although it doesn't explain mushrooms.
I'd just point out that the author of the link is a "Nutritional Therapy Practitioner," and she cites two sources, one of which is a dead link. The other is to a website by a "naturopathic physician." They both say lots of "sciencey" stuff about alkaloids and so on, but don't seem to have any legitimate study that actually shows that eating tomatoes is harmful to anyone's health. It sounds to me like a hypothesis that is still looking for evidence to support it.
Here's what an other hot wife of a top American elite athlete says about Kenyan food:
Myth 2: Kenyan runners eat very natural and healthy
Fact: Compared to my Californian diet that’s high carbohydrate but also high in fresh fruit, vegetables, and organic meat, I found the Kenyan diet very lacking nutritionally. Breakfast was sliced white bread with margarine and tea made with lots of sugar and some milk (which was delicious! Also was the only fluid Kenyan runners drink throughout the day, hydration doesn’t seem to be a concern). Lunch and dinner were both a mound of rice, corn mush, or white potatoes, with a small side of gristly meat or vegetables cooked in lard (“cooking fatâ€, what everything is cooked in, including the delicious fried “chapatti†flat breads). Meat or vegetables were served more as a condiment than a part of the meal. With the exception of Lornah’s camp, which served a buffet including plentiful meat and veg for our Western stomachs. To be honest, I didn’t feel much different training off of their diet of pure carbohydrate (though I did have stashes of beef jerky, nuts, and chocolate that I would continually dip into). I think it shows that you can attack nutrition a lot of different ways and still be successful.

In all seriousness though, 99.9% of women would definitely prefer Brady in those two pics.
But how is he so soft? I mean, I run 45 minutes a day and lift for an additional 30 minutes 4 days a week and I can't seem to put on fat like that. I eat fairly healthy, but I am not a crazy diet guy. I eat pizza on the weekends and drink beer. I think I am older than Brady, too (I am 34).
If his job involves working out, how is he that soft? Even if he just spent an hour in the weight room during practice, wouldn't he look better than that? Then, you throw in the personal chef and he ought to be cut from stone.
Just seems weird.

I think this was before he adjusted his diet to be more paleo. Will have to wait for newer pictures.
This is the only website on the Internet where someone posts that picture and people immediately start talking about Brady's body. I mean, give me a break.
I don't buy it. They all must be on shrooms to believe such nutritional hogwash.
I read absolutely none of the article. It's Fox News. Why would I? There's absolutely no way to determine what in the article is true and past experience tells us that all of it is probably false. When you start a thread with Fox News, it's like coming on here and saying your stupid. OK. So your stupid. Can we move on now?

If you are too pure to read a story on Fox News, the actual interview is on Boston.com, the Boston Globe's website:

Not a big Brady fan (though I live in New England) but big props to him for saying this:
http://www.wsj.com/articles/tom-brady-calls-coke-poison-for-kids-1444689948
Not that he needs the money, but I'm sure Coke or any breakfast cereal company would pay him a bazillion dollars to endorse their product.
Brady now claims to have given up lifting and uses stretch bands and lots of yoga type stretching to maintain flexibility in lieu of adding bulk and the tightness that comes from lifting. (Also, he says he hasn't given up eating Giselle.)
