In order to have better physical fitness and physique, athletes have to work harder than ordinary people, in addition to high-intensity training, but also strict dietary control. And the most inspirational figure is the famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (Cristiano Ronaldo).
Ronaldo is notoriously self-disciplined, especially in diet. The 38-year-old still controls eating six meals a day, mainly high-protein foods, with very little sugar, fat and carbohydrates, and not even touching carbonated drinks and alcohol.

Of course, Ronaldo's lifestyle is not for everyone, but that doesn't stop him from being a role model for many people to follow, including some footballers. The British media "Mirror" reported on February 28 that Brazilian footballer Gabriel Menino tried to eat according to Ronaldo's diet plan, but unfortunately did not last long and gave up, because Ronaldo's recipe almost killed him.
Menino, 22, is currently a defender for Brazilian club Palmeiras, with whom he won two Copa Libertadores titles and one Brazilian title, among other trophies.
Recently, the star talked about the sad past in an interview with Custer, saying that he suddenly wanted to change himself before playing MG in the United States, so he called Mirtes, a nutritionist in Palmeiras, and asked her to make a recipe similar to Ronaldo, but he didn't expect to collapse during the warm-up, and finally had to leave early.
Menino recalls: "I was warming up, but all I was thinking about 'I'm going to die.'" I couldn't run for five minutes and I needed to be replaced. ”
Miltes also saw that Menino was not in good health at that time, so he asked the doctor to send him an energy supplement, and Menino got better after eating it.
It is reported that Menino's recipe at that time was as follows, "Breakfast is eggs and supplements, then take supplements again before training, eat barbecue and salad for lunch, and snacks in the afternoon are also supplements, dinner is also barbecue and salad, and take supplements again before going to bed." ”
In fact, these recipes were once popular with Manchester United players. Many of Carrington's teammates reportedly prefer to eat Ronaldo's favorite foods, including traditional Portuguese stews, but not desserts.
And since Ronaldo joined Saudi Al Nasr club, his way of eating has been as popular. Jose Blesa, a nutritionist in Alnasr, praised Ronaldo's attitude and professionalism at the club, and he couldn't hide his liking for Ronaldo.
Bielsa said he had seriously discussed his diet and rest habits with Ronaldo, "he was always the first to arrive at the training site, but the last to leave" and "it was great to deal with him." He has done a lot for us, but we have nothing to teach him. ”
Bielsa also told Ideal magazine that since Ronaldo came to the club, the players have worked harder and their diet has been stricter, "they have improved their physical fitness by 90%, they have less fat and more muscle." ”
The nutritionist admitted that working at the club is now a luxury because there is no more professional player than Cristiano Ronaldo, adding: "He has not only helped the players, but also the club. ”
Previously, Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia with an annual salary of 175 million pounds (about 1.45 billion yuan), while at the same time, it also greatly increased the popularity of Al Nasr and the Saudi professional league.
It has been reported that in order to continue the strict diet plan, Ronaldo also hired a private chef in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a monthly salary of 4,500 pounds (about 37,170 yuan).
Cristiano Ronaldo has also maintained a very high level of professionalism since his move to Alnasr, and he has scored five goals in a number of games, including four in a single game.
