MOHAMED SALAH has become one of the most feared forwards on the planet.

The Egypt hotshot, 32, has 211 goals and 89 assist for Liverpool in 349 games for Liverpool

Liverpool star Mo Salah follows a strict diet

Salah is seen as a vital component of Jurgen Klopp’s team as they aim for a Champions League berth.

Because of this, the Reds are turning off approaches from Saudi Arabia even as Al-Ittihad gets about to become the best paid player in the world.

The ex-Chelsea forward has achieved greatness thanks to a strict diet and rigorous exercise plan, including 3am workouts during Ramadan.

It’s that sacrifice that has seen Salah emulate Cristiano Ronaldo as one of football’s most chiselled stars.

Here’s how he did it.

What Salah puts in his body daily is crucial to his success, although he allows himself a cheat day with pizza every so often.

Speaking about his diet, the Egyptian told CNN, “Nutrition is so important, it’s part of the game.

“It has helped with my recovery, allowed me to sleep better and helped my body adapt quickly.

“My nutritionist says that because I don’t have any fat on my body, I can eat what I want. I also don’t drink so it’s fine.”

And it’s fair to say, the devout Muslim is usually very careful with his food.

For breakfast, he will eat parathas – a puffy flatbread – with a glass of milk.

He will then go for a bowl of fruit if he’s still hungry.

Salah typically eats a larger lunch with more calories. He’s partial to lentils, veggies, bread, chicken, and yogurt for dessert.

His favorite meal is kushari, an Egyptian specialty cooked with rice, macaroni, and lentils and topped with onions, tomatoes, and chickpeas with spices.

He revealed: “When I go back to Egypt, I call my friend from the airport to buy kushari for us to eat in the car.

“I pull my hoodie over my head, jump into the car and then I’m eating it straight away.”

Dinner is typically a light meal, preferably consisting of vegetables, salad, and soup. He’ll wash that down with a sugar-free glass of fresh fruit juice.

Salah’s passion with training out demonstrates his commitment to his craft.

He works out with weights, bodyweight workouts, plyometrics, yoga, swimming, and stretching techniques while he’s not training with the Reds.

“Normally, I get up early to go for training which starts either in the morning or in the afternoon,” Salah told ON Ent.

“Then I come for recovery for almost two hours. Therapy for any injuries or specific massage so you mitigate any suffering of your body.

“After that, I go to the gym here at the club which is optional for players. After training, I do stretching and recovery again.

“Finally, I go to the pool at the club or with Makka [his daughter] at home. I finish all these activities around 7 or 8pm.”

During Ramadan, Salah made sure he didn’t miss a single minute to sculpt his abs.

He was up at 3am after fasting during daylight hours to hit the weights in his home gym.

When Salah was at Chelsea, he cut a skinny figure.

He was undoubtedly less defined, even when he recovered his form while on loan at Fiorentina before landing a move to Roma.

However, he has noticed a tremendous change in his body as a result of sticking to a nutrition plan and exercising consistently.

The Salah of today has ripped abs and powerful biceps that protrude from beneath his Liverpool jersey.

He frequently doesn’t hesitate to flaunt his body in front of his loving fans on Instagram.

Even his teammates are compelled to take photos of his amazing physique.

Andy Robertson, a player for Scotland, posted a photo of Salah in a pool without a top in 2021.

Hilariously, he joked that his pal had a ‘bit of body fat to lose’ in the photo.

If that’s the case, then SunSport better jump on an exercise bike lively.

Home workouts are very important to Salah

Additionally, Salah likes to swim in his spare time
