Indianapolis Colts star Dwight Freeney’s Diet Edge?

Defensive end for the Indianapolis Colts, Dwight Freeney, has been called a lab rat by his Super Bowl final teammates because his dedication to attaining and maintaining specific weight goals has led him to try things that have to yet be scientifically proven.

Currently, Dwight follows the Sare Mellman’s Dietary Progression, a diet that’s based on blood tests and analysis. Every few months the 29-year-old has his blood drawn to determine which foods will work best for his body and for the goals he sets himself and which foods won’t. For example, according to his blood, Dwight should rather eat tomatoes instead of lettuce and pork instead of chicken. Dwight doesn’t eat bananas anymore because it has been blamed for his head-to-toe cramps. Another example of his “weird” diet, a few weeks ago he ate only beef and pinto beans Wednesday to Sunday.

Not even eating out has an effect on this super disciplined footballer. When he goes to a restaurant he brings his food along and instructs the chef on how to prepare it – no oil, no pepper, no garlic, no garnish, no powder and no pan spray.

Dwight also sets weight limits for himself: when he plays against a passing team he makes sure he weighs 262 pounds, but when he plays against a running team he gives himself two cheat days to increase his weight to 267 pounds. Within a matter of days Dwight picks up and drops the 5 pounds, which makes one wonder how healthy his diet really is…
