What is bernard hopkins diet

The aging fighter became the oldest champion in boxing history with the unanimous-decision victory. So how has the hall of famer managed to stay sharp for this long?

We caught up with the Philadelphia native to find out. It shows. When he started his boxing career at the age of 17 at the State Correctional Institution in Graterford, Pa.

He also loves onions, oatmeal with some honey, and veggies. The bungee cord is one of my favorite workout mechanisms.

You are using the motion of your body. I keep one in my suitcase. Best resistance is your own body. I like buying nice quality clothes that take five or six years to go out of style. I like fitting in them for that long. All this stuff is based on respecting my temple. If I respect my car, why would you not respect your insides? You only have one life. You have to take care of you.

I think different than most people. People want to get their stomach chopped in half. They cheat to lose weight. They go against the gods of nature. Man has played God for so long. BH: I avoid alcohol, drugs, and smoking. I avoid processed food. They have a lot of my money. I read [the label on] everything I put in my body.

I buy fresh and I eat it within a day or two. I eat a lot of salads, a lot of fresh vegetables. I eat a lot of whole wheat pasta. I have had it for most of my career. I have a guy outside of Philadelphia who butchers it, slices it, and labels the bags what part of deer is in them. Heart, ribs, could be burgers with the ground-up beef.

All these things are not really a diet; they are just knowing the right things. I was conscious enough to add the right habits to my athletic life. Roy Jones was talented. But my work ethic overrided all the super talent. And people see that. I get stopped on the street by lawyers and businessmen who tell me, You inspire me, Mr.

They get excited, they want to tell me that somehow, someway they might have heard or seen or read about me. When I am training for a fight, I run every morning. Then I go to the boxing gym in the afternoon.

I spar two or three times a week with guys of all ages. When not sparring, I have a circuit around the gym that includes the heavy bag, speed bag, hitting the pads and so on. I might do some weights and basic exercises like crunches, push-ups and stretching.

And your diet? I follow an extremely strict diet. I always have breakfast, which consists of scrambled egg whites, vegetables and a dry pancake.
