LeBron Went 67 Days Without Sugars, Dairy

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 4:54 am

LeBron James lost weight this offseason, going on a strict 67-day diet.

"I had no sugars. No dairy. I had no carbs. All I ate was meat, fish, veggies and fruit," James said.

James looks visibly thinner from his playing weight last season.

"I lost a ton of weight," said James. "Hopefully I can pick a couple pounds back up."

Um, remember how fruits and vegetables have carbohydrates?

I think he meant grains. And I guess fish is not meat according to lbj..

Doesn't fruit have natural sugars?

Yeah but obviously it isn't the same kind of sugar he's talking about.

I think that's exactly what he doesn't want.

Basically just paleo, no need to over analyze.

Fruit and veggies both contain carbs. Basically he went 68 days without eating simple carbs that derive from things such as pasta, dairy, juice, soda ect. I'm curious how many grams of carbs he was in taking a day on a diet like that.

Agreed. Especially with HGH coming into the league now. Head size got smaller. Hair starting to grow back out of nowhere. I think its safe to say by the ASG, LeBron should be back to wearing regular-sized headbands.

I hate to be another person mentioning steroids or HGH but I feel like we need to be a lot more vigilant in this day and age. There's a lot of weird little things with Lebron that might raise a red flag. Not saying he's doing anything -- just saying they should raise red flags (or maybe even just slightly hued, lightly colored red flags). With Lebron, there are some bigger things (body type, muscle gain, weight loss) and littler things (hair loss, cramping). All i'm saying is that the baseball steroid era taught us that it's important to be on the lookout, eyes wide open.

It's called the paleo diet. And I'm sure he ate nuts as well. Paleo diet basically shreds all of your fat in a short period of time.

I'm more interested how he got all his hair back, not the pounds he lost.

Veggies/Fruit = Carbs/Sugar.

Many people understand this, but many don't. Which makes these comments misleading.

This is true, all plant food turns to sugar whether it's sugar cane (sucrose), corn (high fructose corn syrup) even broccoli.

But the main thing is he did eat high fat (mostly meats for calories) and low carb (just fruits and veggies) and no dairy. I'm curious about grain. If he didn't eat grain he went paleo which for 67 days will make you really thin. I eat paleo and I'm super skinny - no grains, no refined sugars, no dairy.
