Laird Hamilton tells about that one drink that he completely avoids

At the beginning of the interview, Hamilton invited the cameraman to take a sneak peek into his refrigerator. While showing the important solid foods that he consumes regularly, he was asked about something that one may never find in his fridge. Hamilton revealed, “ you’ll probably never see a soda in my fridge. “

Hamilton explained that sodas have high sugar content. Hence, soda beverages will never make it into his refrigerator. Indeed, sodas have no nutritional content. Drinking them causes several health risks like – obesity, Type-2 diabetes, fatty liver, etc. 

However, despite his disciplined food choices, Hamilton does cherish a few cheat food items. The surfer explained that he does not do cheat days like others. Instead, he has “cheat moments.” Hamilton digs into a small number of chocolate chip cookies and later makes up for it.
