Simone Biles is one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. As she heads off to Tokyo Olympics 2021 to defend her four gold medals, she follows a simple yet effective diet plan that helps her stay competitive.
The modern sports stars take a close look at their diet. They have experts around them tracking their nutrients and carbohydrate inputs. However, Biles does not do that and instead follows a simple diet regime that she feels is correct. “I eat what I feel good with and try not to overeat or stuff myself because I’m always at the gym,” Biles said.
