Seeing how he's playing lately I think he needs to switch to a keto diet.

It always amazes me how unhealthily professional athletes can eat. You'd imagine that since this is their profession and they make millions doing it, they'd at least eat healthy and nutritious food.

Plate of pasta alfredo, meat sauce, raw onion, hot sauce, salt, pepper and ketchup. And then a second plate with one piece of chicken and 3/4 of a plate of ranch

The deep autophagy from NHL games and practice can undo alot of damage from shitty food.

He'll be sick and unhealthy in retirement unless he changes things up.

Keto diet is probably the stupidest fad I have ever seen. It's always the dudes with 0 discipline and work ethic trying to find a shortcut (that doesn't even work) just to feel some sense of accomplishment without actually doing anything.

But for guys who are in elite physical shape, a high carb diet pre-game will do wonders. Lots of fast digesting carbs or sugars >>>

Virta health uses keto to reverse diabetes. They are worth 2 billion. Is 2 billion stupid ?

Keto treats drug-resistant epilepsy.

Keto is being studied for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Results are very consistent and promising.

Fad ?

Weird definition of fad. If I zoom out 2 million years, i'd say agriculture is a fad (last 12,000 years) and it's not going well.

I'd say IMO, but pubmed has 1000s of studies.

I was ok with it until he added the ketchup on the fettuccine. That's just gross.

Carbs are like rocket fuel. No question they help explosive sports like hockey.

 

[Ezekial]

My thoughts?

Europeans talk mad shit about Americans and their diet but the moment they get a taste of the nectar of the gods they can't get enough.

Got no stake in this one, but great response.

 

[Team_Spirit]

It looks homemade as it's in a custom jar so probably no seed oils in it

He says it's his only meal on game days that's not a lot of food for an athlete like him.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

That is up there with the Elf spaghetti as the grossest pasta dish I've ever seen

you’re probably fat or out of shape

Keto is the best way to lose weight

 

[Tofveve]

The ketchup was the part that got to me . . . Well maybe not so much hot sauce too. Yeah that pasta combo is not the tits.

 

[DimitriL07]

The chef looks like Louis Litt

The best way is the way that works for you. It’s not magic.

 

[SomeDude]

He plays defense like his pregame meal is magic mushrooms with a side of acid.

The best way to lose weight is to not shove worthless carbs down your gullet without any plans to work them off. This is true.

But the best way to lose weight is an active lifestyle and a diet that works for your own body.

That's certainly one way of putting it.

That didn't take long.

Not really. The studies have shown keto is much better than calorie counting.

Much of losing weight has nothing to do with calorie counting but rather insulin in the body. Cutting out carbs and sugars works better than calorie counts. In fact many people who cut calories lose minimal weight and then regain that weight later on.

BINGO!

I'm so sick of this "one size, fits all" with regards to diets.

The only thing you'll have me agreeing on is people should cut down on processed foods and sugar.

And has the highest failure rate of individuals sticking with it out of all major diets.

The activation energy to simply cut calories and increase fiber intake is a hell of a lot more appealing to the average individual than telling them they can’t eat 50% of foods.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Between this guy and the likes of Kessel, Ovi, Kucherov and the many DUIs and substance abusers.. I'm really starting to question the people who beak off about older players being plumbers compared to today.. ranch???

Turns out when you burn 5k calories a day you can afford a lot of cheating after all.

 

[FMichael]

Oh dear

It’s quite obvious that EK65 is no longer Swedish and has fully transformed into an American.
