Djokovich Diet

Cycling to and from Paris was a good advancement for my Ironman training, which I have notably found a dull chore. However, Lindsey’s Parisian diet is something that an athlete may frown upon. I say “Lindsey’s Parisian diet” as this is a topic I brought up often and could never fully get to the bottom of. How is it that you see French girls eating French bread and all the naugthies (cakes, pastries, sauces) and they’re all so tiny?? My English friend, living in Paris, told me it was quality and quantity. The French food is better quality and the French girls know when they’ve had enough. I, on the other hand, would quite happily eat the whole contents of the fridge if he’d let me! Alas I have this dreaded Ironman in six weeks time and it’s going to be tough enough as it is. There really is no need to carry an extra stone.

Novak Djockovich may have had his 43-match winning streak rumbled by Roger Federer in the semi finals at Roland Garros but the Serb was the talk of the town through out the tournament. When Djockovich’s nutritionist discovered that the world number 2 was a celiac he removed gluten from his diet. Djockovich attributes his winning streak to his new diet saying his movement is sharper and he feels great physically.

I’ll be happy juts to finish this Ironman in a respectable time. I’m not even day dreaming to stand on the podium, but I’ve decided to adopt the ‘Djockovich diet’ just as a little helping hand.

My diet was incredibly healthy and colourful and I felt lighter excluding pasta, bread and pastries…..that was until I discovered the ‘free from’ range in Tescos. Inevitably I was drawn to the cookies and cakes.

I’m half a stone (ish) lighter on the scales, but I’m not sure how long that will balance now I’ve discovered these gluten free cookies.
