Tom Brady and Other Top Athletes' Talk About Their Dieting Tips

A lot of people are having trouble keeping up with their New Year's Resolutions due to the fact that they cannot find the proper diet that suits their lifestyle. Thankfully, a number of top athletes share their dieting tips to get fit despite being some of the busiest people today.

Tom Brady is one of the most prolific athletes in football. He says that he would want to keep playing the sport up until his 40s. To do so, he needs to follow a diet and he needs to follow it strictly. "80 percent of what they eat is vegetables," Allen Campbell, personal chef to Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, tells the Boston Globe. He also says that the remaining twenty percent of their diet consist of lean meats such as grass-fed steak, chicken, and the occasional duck.

Oats are also an important part of any diet, says Isaac Caldiero. The first ever American Ninja Warrior "mixes oat bran with almond milk, molasses, cinnamon, blueberries and some chia seeds," as said in his interview with GQ. Fencer Miles Chamley-Watson also recommends blending solid foods into smoothies that are packed with proteins and a lot of other nutrients.

Sumo wrestler Byambajav Ulambayar and ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes are reportedly big fans of fish. Fish is a great source of protein as well as beneficial oils, which are good for the heart. Ulambayar prefers fried mackerel in his diet while Karnazes prefers having raw salmon in his.

Most importantly, you need to maintain a balanced diet to keep healthy. Triathlete James Lawrence and NBA player J.J. Redick consume just as much food as they need. They also make various changes to their diet depending on their various requirements. Redick says he only eats what he has not had as off late and he avoids eating too much of anything.
