Ray Lewis hasn't touched pork in 12 years and has eaten beef just twice during that span. He also says no-thanks to bread, soda and sugar, essentially.
"I'm watching these guys, with their cheeseburgers and stuff," he told USA Today. "And you're going to compete against me? Even if you're younger and faster, your fuel won't let you beat me."
"His diet is so ridiculous, even the people around him have to adjust," says linebacker Terrell Suggs. "It's crazy. Last week, I'm eating a bag of chips and he throws 'em away."
Before noon, the iconic Baltimore Ravens linebacker often has downed a protein shake, egg whites, an apple, two gallons of water and a bag of about 20 "a.m." supplements. He estimates that he downs about 50 pills per day.
When Lewis feels like cheating a bit, he says he goes for snacks including Twizzlers and Gummy Bears. "To keep living life," he says.
