He recently won his fourth\u00a0Super Bowl at the age of 39 and has no signs of slowing down.\u00a0 How does he do it?\u00a0 The NY Post, Men\u2019s Fitness, and even Forbes dug deep to figure out his \u201csecret\u201d and guess what: it\u2019s in his diet. Tom Brady\u2019s diet is so important that he even has a personal chef who is heavily plant-based.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So, what\u2019s \u201cin\u201d and what\u2019s \u201cout\u201d for Brady?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Veggies make up 80% of what he eats.<\/li>\n<li>All, organic, non-GMO, lean protein like grass-fed beef and wild salmon make up 20%.<\/li>\n<li>Zero white sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Zero white flour.<\/li>\n<li>Zero dairy products.<\/li>\n<li>Zero caffeine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On board so far? There\u2019s more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He only uses raw olive oil for salads, but never for cooking with (coconut oil is his choice for a cooking oil).<\/li>\n<li>Salt-wise, Brady uses only Himalayan pink salt.<\/li>\n<li>He doesn\u2019t eat tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, or eggplants because they aren\u2019t anti-inflammatory.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, he eats no fruit, except for bananas in his smoothies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regardless of whatever you may be thinking at this point, this diet plan seems to be effective for him. Tom Brady has dated two super models, married one, and went from a mid-round draft pick to one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Association does not prove causality.\u00a0While a lot of what Brady and his chef do is backed by science, a lot is not. This article isn\u2019t to point out what to do or not do, or determine whether or not we should copy Brady\u2019s diet.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>I want to point out a different lesson.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>Tom Brady and other successful people pay attention to details.\u00a0<\/em>They are mindful of what they do.\u00a0Should we care about what we put into our bodies as much as Brady does?\u00a0 I think so.\u00a0The bulk of health and weight control boils down to diet.<\/p>\n<p>Also, for the parents out there \u2013should we care what we put into our children\u2019s bodies? That\u2019s not even a question, but many of us mindlessly allow clearly unhealthy food into our house and give our kids unrestricted access to it.\u00a0We can do a better job than that.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not recommending a \u201cvery Brady diet\u201d for anyone, but I do recommend being as detailed as him when it comes to your all-important health. How? Start with the\u00a0following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Actively examine at what you are using your hard-earned money to buy.<\/li>\n<li>Only buy the things that you determine to be healthy.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t mindlessly buy and eat things that you know are not good for yourself or your family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you heard about Tom Brady\u2019s diet?\u00a0Actually scratch that&#8211;have you heard of Tom Brady himself?
