Lukaku (Inter), the gnocchi diet after the game and the 10 kg lost to get back in shape – Corriere.it

Trying to get back to the top thanks to gnocchi. Already in March 2021 Romelu Lukaku had revealed the secret of his strength: diet. Since I’ve been at Inter, I’ve changed my diet and I can say that I’ve never felt so strong. My diet? Salad, fish, chicken, black rice and shirataki noodles. And after the races I also eat two packs of dumplingsShe said.

For many players, and the Nerazzurri is no exception, the secret also lies at the table. In Antonio Conte’s two-year period (2019-2021), which culminated with his return to Chelsea and now his return to Milan, behind the excessive physical power shown on the pitch by Lukaku, there was also a very precise dieta diet capable of improving and further enhancing the qualities of the Belgian striker.

Cos even with Simone Inzaghi he is trying to get back in shape by following a precise diet. To give his fundamental support for the Champions League race. This is how he recounted this choice two years ago: Since I’ve been here at Inter we’ve done an analysis of my body and it’s changed a lot: I eat a lot of salad, fish, which has a very good effect on me. I like carnitine, it makes me feel good. My diet consists of salad for lunch, lots of chicken breast, shirataki noodles. I don’t change my way of eating much, the way we play we must have a very strong physique, we run a lot: since I’ve been following this lifestyle I feel better on the pitch, I feel more responsive and faster.

And finally: Carbs? I love sweet potatoes and black rice, but I don’t eat much pasta. Each country has its own way of feeding: I’ve always been an explosive player, but Italy has taken me to another level. I have never felt so strong. I reached another level, physical and mental. The day before the game I can go overboard on carbohydrates. Rehydrating is very important, as is sleeping, especially as you get older. How do I recover after matches? I take carbohydrates: most of the time I eat two packs of dumplings, it depends on what the chef has prepared. They get into circulation quickly, they help me a lot. I drink and eat already at the stadium, in our dining room, or I take the food home, then recover with lots of ice. I don’t sleep much after matches. And now with the same diet, little by little, he’s trying to get back to the levels of his first Inter experience.
