LEBRON JAMES SHARED new details of the diet that saw him lose more than 10 pounds this summer. It sounds extreme.
James told reporters at his Nike sneaker event in Oregon that he cut out everything except meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables for 67 days.
He told SI: “I had no sugars, no dairy, I had no carbs. All I ate was meat, fish, veggies and fruit. That’s it. For 67 straight days.”
LeBron’s weight loss has been one of the big stories of the NBA off-season. After he posted an Instagram photo looking downright skinny in August, speculation began that he was on a Paleo diet.
So what exactly was he eating all summer?
He posted photos of a few meals on Instagram this summer, and they seem to follow the 67-day diet he described.
For one lunch he had “arugula salad with chicken, strawberries, mango, cashews and olive oil/lemon vinaigrette dressing.”
For another he had lobster salad with mango chutney:
When he was on vacation in Greece the hotel made him a personalized cake, which he didn’t eat, apparently because he was off added sugars.
There are multiple theories why LeBron decided to lose weight this summer. Windhorst told ESPN’s Bill Simmons that LeBron was in relatively poor shape at the beginning of the 2013-14 season after winning the title in 2013 and getting married that summer. He added that LeBron has always been a bit self-conscious about his weight, listing himself at 250 pounds when he’s clearly in the 260s.
There’s also a Kobe Effect at work. After Kobe successfully extended his career by losing weight as he entered his mid-30s, a bunch of NBA stars are following his lead. LeBron, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade all dropped weight this summer.
A little more than a month before the NBA season, it looks as if the best player in the world is leaner than we’ve seen him in a long, long time.

Ciaran McDonald is the better footballer I think, O’Connor seems to get a lot of his scores from frees.
Is the last point of the article about Jim McGuiness giving a class on sledging true? First I have heard of it.
Re: the sledging, it is true if you believe what you read it Kevin Cassidy’s book – the book that saw him kicked off the team. Donegal had a team meeting and decided to use it to get into the heads of other teams.
Ciaran McDonald. need I say more…
“He is in the top two or three players in the country” what a joke of a statement. Hardly Mayo bias on Bradys part.
Michael Murphy, James O’Donoghue, Gooch, Paul Flynn to name but a few that are better outside Mayo and I would argue Keith Higgins and Aidan O Shea are better also within the Mayo team. He doesn’t have the speed to ever be the forward Mayo need to win an AI.
Finally saying he is better than Mcdonald should be a form of blasphemy punishable by death.
God, I really wish David Brady would keep quiet! Has he not enough pressure on his shoulders already? He has a long way to go before he can consider himself better than Ciarán MacDonald, James Nallen or even Alan Dillon.
He’s the best cry baby I’ve ever seen
Mayo for Ham
McDonald without a doubt was better,o connor is good but don’t know if he’d make the top 3 in the country even,gooch,brogan,Murphy ahead of him for me
conor McManus is up there too, basically carries Monaghan
He’s a great man to knock over a 14 yard free though in fairness
dosent matter how good he is.all he,ll ever win is connaught medals.
The amount of hype about Mayo in general is unreal. The Newcastle United of Gaelic football
By the most cynical analysts of Ireland Mayo are nowhere outside the top 4 teams of the country, bit of a stretch to compare us to a team nearly relegated in the English league.
Ah come on, I would say we’re the Holland of Gaelic football…
He can be but not yet….
His turning out to be a brilliant footballer. Finally Mayo have a quality scoring forward. Can’t remember Mayo having one of these. Had some serious injuries. Not as good as Ciaran Mc tho.
Id say there’s a few boys who saw Peter Solan, Tom Langan, Eamon Mongey, Pairic Carney, Peter Quinn, and the like who might not agree.
I agree with the Luke fella fully,o Conner is probably the most overated player in the county
He scored one point from play on Sunday…Brady is and always has been a meathead
Era Mayo are only bottlers. They get a dirty nappy when it’s the third Sunday of September. Couldn’t hold it together down in Limerick either.
if he wins an all ireland he will be! your nobody in gaelic or hurling until you have an all ireland senior
NO!
O’connor may be good but better than Ciaran McDonald not a chance.Let me put it this way would O’Connor pull a game out of the fire the way a gooch,brogan or Murphy would??
Conor McManus far better player not just with Monaghan but he was the best player on the pitch in the most recent Compromised Rules match.
No.
When this guy kicks 10 points in an All Ireland then we can have this debate. Bloody hell
This fella comes across as an ignorant fan.
