Besides their strict exercise routines, NFL star Tom and his model wife Gisele Bundchen follow a very strict diet, of which 80% is vegetables
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, have supremely fit bodies. And besides their stringent exercise regimes, they follow a very strict diet too.
"80 per cent of what they eat is vegetables," the couple's personal chef, Allen Campbell told Boston.com
"I only use organic vegetables. And whole grains - brown rice, quinoa (protein-packed grain), millet (a type of cereal), beans. The other 20 percent is lean meats - grass-fed organic steak, duck every now and then, and chicken. As for fish, I mostly cook wild salmon," added Campbell.
The couple also have a detailed list of what they do not eat. That includes: white sugar, white flour, caffeine, dairy products, solanaceae plants (meaning peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms), gluten-based items and fruit (except for the occasional banana).
The chef said he works up innovative dishes to make their meals interesting. For example, for breakfast there's Bradycakes - pancakes made from eggs, protein powder, flaxseed, and almond oil.
Tom and Gisele have fun foods like pizza too, but with a twist. "It's a cauliflower crust pizza topped with cashew 'cheese' and spinach," said Campbell. And as for dessert, it's raw, dairy-free avocado ice cream, said Campbell.
