Palmeiras full-back Gabriel Menino has reported that Cristiano Ronaldo‘s famous diet left him feeling unwell, despite being inspired by the ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid attacker’s impressive physique.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous diet is not for everyone, it seems, with Palmeiras tar Gabriel Menino reporting that the former Manchester United star’s regime left him feeling like death.
Ronaldo, who turned 38 in February and plays with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has a strict diet and often speaks of the importance of strong nutrition to maintain peak physical condition. Menino was inspired to take up Ronaldo’s diet with the aim of having a physique “equal” to that of the Portugal star. However, Menino reported that the diet left him feeling like death, despite his initial enthusiasm. This highlights that Ronaldo’s diet may not be suitable for everyone, and it’s important for each individual to find a diet that works best for them.

What is Ronaldo’s diet?
Gabriel Menino was following a simplified version of Cristiano Ronaldo’s diet, which includes egg and supplements for breakfast, supplements before training, in the afternoon, and before sleep, and grilled fish or meat and salad for lunch and dinner.
However, Menino reported feeling unwell and unable to perform after only one day on the diet. He felt like he was going to die and had to be replaced during a game. Menino was saved by a brief injury break for a team-mate, which allowed him to take on isotonic fluids. While the diet works for Ronaldo, it may not be suitable for everyone, and it’s important to find a diet that works best for individual needs and goals.
