quote:

From a dietary standpoint, what are the goals you and Zion have?

Definitely getting him in tiptop shape. My boy says he wants the league MVP this year. I see it. I believe it. I believe Zion is going to be the face of the NBA once LeBron James retires. I believe it. I see it. Just getting him in great health. He’s in great health now. But once the season starts, he’s going to be in even better health.

quote:

How do you accomplish that?

Watching everything we put into his body. Pull all sugars. Pull all carbs. Just give him all the healthy stuff. The healthy nutrition he needs — from baked foods to different grains. We are going to be working on a paleo diet. That’s a lot of grains. That’s a lot of meat. No carbs. A lot of fruit.

quote:

How many meals do you prepare on an average week for Zion?

Six days. Eighteen meals a week. That’s three meals a day. It’s not heavy meals, though. I want people to understand that.

hallelujah

I don’t want to complain, but the man clearly doesn’t know what a carbohydrate is

Mvp zion means he's putting up 30/8/6, shooting 58/35/77, and a top 3 seed.

Lol no carbs. No sugars

Lots of fruits.

I get he's meaning less processed foods. The person I know who's close to zion's family says dude LOVED Coca cola/soft drinks and candy.

Based on that interview Zion has one day a week where his meals aren’t totally planned and prepared…. A lot of damage can be done in a single day

I bet that day they ask him to track what he eats and how much. At least that’s what I’d hope they’re doing.

Luckily once the human body adjusts to long enough without eating a certain way, you can’t go back. Like people I know who stopped drinking cokes try one again and can’t finish it because of how sweet it is.

I would be very happy with my $20 bet at +5000 if that happened.

I looked up what the paleo diet is and I'm assuming when he said no carbs he was talking about things like potatoes, bread, rice, etc.

Uh I think his chef needs to go re-read the nutrition pyramid.

Dorothy Green’s garden in Many was filled with collard greens, mustard greens, okra and sweet potatoes.

and I stopped.

Yeah, I got really confused when he said "pull all carbs" and then later said he was feeding Zion "a lot of grains."
