Since retiring from the NFL, Tom Brady has lost around 10 pounds and credited his weight loss to prioritizing self-care and overall health. In a recent Let’s Go podcast, Brady mentioned that the reduced stress post-retirement has allowed him to focus more on his physical and mental well-being while balancing family time and business pursuits. 

Brady has been a strong advocate of the TB12 Diet. Popularly known as the Tom Brady Diet, it emphasizes a predominantly plant-based approach, promoting the intake of diverse, anti-inflammatory foods. However, the seven-time Super Bowl legend was spotted breaking some dietary rules in celebrity chef Nick DiGiovanni’s recent YouTube drop.

YouTube celebrity chef Nick DiGiovanni previously followed Tom Brady’s diet in an episode on his channel a year ago. Now, he’s back with Brady, challenging the seven-time Super Bowl champion to taste a delicious pizza from one of Italy’s most renowned restaurants. Chef Nick DiGiovanni has a mission to contact 100 celebrities via Instagram, asking them to rate world-famous culinary creations. Tom Brady promptly responded to his message requesting a slice of “pizza”. Without wasting time, Nick flew to Italy to bring back a pizza from the world’s top-rated pizzeria, Emerson Jelle. “When Tom Brady sends you a message telling you to get him a slice of pizza you get him the best because he’s the best,” mentioned DiGiovanni. 

Nick DiGiovanni presented a freshly reheated pizza to Tom Brady, highlighting its freshness despite the long journey. Brady, known for his disciplined diet, expressed a preference for crunchy but not too thick pizza with slightly sweet dough. Despite the popular belief that Brady avoids certain foods, he admitted his love for pizza, mentioning that he rarely eats cheese and that he is “not going to waste my cheese eating on bad Pizza.” In the video, Brady rated the renowned Italian pizza a modest 7.0, surprising viewers by indulging in food he considers unhealthy, despite his reputation as someone committed to a strict diet.

The TB12 diet, a component of this method, promotes organic, minimally processed, primarily plant-based foods to reduce inflammation, improve performance, and aid recovery. The eating plan encourages the consumption of nutrient-dense whole foods, with about 80% coming from fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes, and the remaining 20% from grass-fed, organic meat, hormone- and antibiotic-free poultry, and wild-caught fish and seafood. However, Brady’s recent indulgence only exemplifies the idea that- maintaining a healthy diet is necessary, but occasional dietary detours are soulful too. Balance and discipline are the keys!
