During the most recent episode of “The Adam Schefter Podcast,” ESPN analyst Adam Schefter chatted with his guest, Alex Guerrero, who is famously known as Tom Brady’s training guru behind the TB12 diet.
The TB12 diet promotes a plant-based meal plan, meditation and yoga, strays away from tomatoes, and contains a mystical avocado ice cream that the future Hall of Fame QB swears by. However, with all diets, there are always certain cheats and loopholes.
On the podcast, Alex Guerrero revealed one of Tom Brady’s biggest cheats on his TB12 diet. It’s a bit more than just a slice of tomato or another nightshade vegetable.
Tom Brady TB12 cheat foods
“He loves pizza and I would say that he loves a really great cheeseburger.”
Tom Brady doesn’t just have a pizza or greasy burger every other week or plan it as a monthly meal. Alex Guerrero explained the emotional side of the TB12 diet, which includes nurturing those in the program with “emotional” foods.
For Brady, those emotional foods are pizza and burgers, and he gets the craving after suffering a nasty injury. Guerrero told Schefter of an example dating back to the 2018 AFC Championship game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tom Brady suffered a severe cut on his hand before the game and went for the pizza to cope.
“…we’re kind of getting him through the emotions of what had just occured. We weren’t super strict on our diet. We’re not like that. We’re very balanced. We do things to kind of help our body stay in balance all the time. So if we feel the need to heat up a pizza and eat a pizza, we’re gonna do it. If he needs to have a cheeseburger, we’re gonna do it.”
