The Tom Brady Diet has received a fair amount of press and attention recently. He explains that the diet is a combination of West and Eastern philosophies, following principles that have been in practice for thousands of years. Some may find his diet restrictive, but to him it is quite natural. “Many people have conditioned their bodies to a nutritional regiment made up of lots of white or pale-looking foods – french fries, potato chips, white bread, chicken nuggets – that don’t exist in nature,” he said in a quote from Men’s Health, September 2017.
