WTF is up with Dwight Howard? Had suger intake/addiction problems?

Howard was struggling to return to form after back surgery the previous spring, and was wrestling with the enormous pressure of whether to re-sign with the Lakers as a free agent. Cate Shanahan believed his performance and recovery were being seriously compromised by his poor diet. She saw the telltale signs of sugar addiction -- spikes in energy followed by crashes and erratic motor skills that were indicative of nerves misfiring.

"I said, 'I can't live this way because it's not healthy to have this high level of sugar in me,' " Howard said. "I just made a commitment."

Like an addict, Howard had candy and sugary drinks stashed everywhere -- from his kitchen cabinets to a drawer next to his bed to the backpack he toted to games and practices. He agreed to get rid of it all and start over.

disagree with some of what this "nutritionist" suggests to the players (50% of calories from FAT?????) but the poor eating habits of the players hurts them once they are not pro athletes anymore burning so many calories a day..

She did her undergrad at Cornell and went to med school in Jersey. What's your resume? Just curious as to why you'd disagree. 50% of your calories from fat doesn't mean what you think it means. You may need to open your mind up a little more.

sugar... the white cocaine

[outbreak]

eh I remember hearing about Rose, Wall and I think Durant early in his career all have similar articles come up regarding eating too much junk food and candy. Odd that it would take him this long into his career before getting proper nutrition advice though, the others I mentioned were like rookie year/second year things

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to STATUTORY again.

The article even mentions that he has a personal chef. I guess he does whatever Dwight wants, but damn. That shit is wack.

A lot of nutritionists are starting to believe that eat fat doesn't make you fat or raise your cholesterol.

They believe that eating sugar does.
