Robert Lewandowski practices a reverse diet, which entails eating dessert first and then the main course.
Children are told by parents everywhere that they must finish their main course before diving into their dessert or pudding.
However, Lewandowski, one of the greatest attackers in football history, is taking a different approach. The manager of Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola, called the Polish international “the most professional player” he has ever worked with and claimed that he “thinks about the right food, sleep, and training 24 hours a day.”
Regarding food, Jonathan Liew described Lewandowski’s unusual eating habits and how they caused some confusion at Bayern.It turns out that the chaos has a purpose, though. Lewandowski’s wife Anna, a former karate champion and expert in fitness and nutrition, has been pushing him to switch up his course of study.Rearranging meals is supposed to prevent sweeter, sugarier foods from blending with other food groups like proteins and carbohydrates because they are processed more quickly.
Former Poland teammate Thiago Cionek told ESPN, “He is a guy who is hungry to improve as a player, and for that, he has a special diet that his wife gives him.”She is a renowned dietician in Poland. Robert even admitted to me that the major shift in his life occurred when he made it to the top teams and the national team and drastically altered his diet.
He consumes a lot of protein on game days. Tuna is always available for breakfast. Additionally, he stays away from dairy products and gluten. He still has a bowl of rice pudding for dessert the night before performing to fuel his body with carbohydrates and glucose for the performance. The 35-year-old is quite superstitious, and before a game, he always makes sure to put on his left boot first after speaking with a psychologist who advised him to continue the same pattern.
Additionally, he only ever sleeps on his left side. A sleep specialist advised him to make this specific change, with the idea being that he is looking after his dependable right foot.
