Gas2No99 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Jets safety Jamal Adams inspired by health nuts LeBron, Brady FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Jamal Adams is ready to kick some asparagus in his second season. After a solid, if not stellar, rookie season, the New York Jets safety began to look for ways to improve his game. That's what his coaches like about him; he's always searching for perfection. Adams decided to focus on his body, which meant hiring a personal chef. He's trying to have a more health-conscious diet. "Do you eat fried food?" he asked a reporter Tuesday after practice. Occasionally, the reporter replied. "See, that's bad," Adams said. "I don't do that. I stopped eating fried food. I eat fish, anything that's real, basically. I'm trying new things. I didn't eat asparagus; now I eat asparagus. ... I'm stepping up my game as far as my diet." Jets safety Jamal Adams has cut out fried food from his diet as he seeks to build on a promising rookie season. Noah K. Murray/USA TODAY Sports Adams opted to make changes in his diet after watching an interview with LeBron James, who talked about the importance of healthy eating in his training regimen. He's also aware of the celebrated Tom Brady diet, although he admitted he's not ready for that just yet. "His diet is on another level," Adams said, smiling. "I just wanted to help myself. Anything I can to help myself get better on the field, to help this team out, is what I wanted to do." The JA33 Method (apologies to Brady) appears to be working. On Tuesday, Adams, who played at 214 pounds as a rookie, was down to 208 for the first time in a long time. "I'm taking care of my body a little more," he said. "It's those little things that, hopefully, help me get that edge on my competitors. I'm just trying to do the little things the right way at all times." We're not talking about an extreme makeover here; it's not like Adams had a disappointing rookie season. Drafted sixth overall, he started every game and played 1,102 out of a possible 1,117 defensive snaps, which is impressive. He made an impact near the line of scrimmage as he led all safeties in run stops (25) when lined up in the box, according to Pro Football Focus. To become a Pro Bowl safety, which he guaranteed, Adams must be a playmaker in the passing game. He had no interceptions last season and allowed at least a half-dozen touchdowns in coverage. Will being a few pounds lighter help him cover Rob Gronkowski? Hey, it can't hurt. Jets coach Todd Bowles has noticed a change with Adams, but it has nothing to do with his body. "Yes, mentally," Bowles said. "Physically, he's always been in great shape. It's still too early to tell. Right now, he's been running around like he was last year. But his game from a mental standpoint, his eyes are better and he focuses on the little things. So from that standpoint, I see him getting better." Eye discipline is crucial for safeties. They must be able to read plays and react quickly. A split second can mean the difference between breaking up a pass or surrendering a long touchdown. There's no reason to think it won't happen for Adams, who has the instincts to excel in pass coverage. Asked to evaluate his rookie season, he turned it to the team. "To me, we failed," he said. "We were 5-11 ... not good enough. It's never going to be good enough for us. That's not our standard." Adams hopes to raise it. Bon appetit.

RutgersJetFan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 The advancements in diet that have filtered down from professional athletes over the past decade have been awesome. Better understandings of things like sugar, fat, and wheat, as well as concepts like fasting and recovery are so great. Can't recommend them enough as it has changed my own life completely and 100% for the better. Kobe and Lebron, for example, have both attributed their longevity in some parts to changing their sugar intake alone. Athletic primes used to be from like 26-32, and that's no longer the case. But it will be interesting to see how this stuff pans out with football players given the regular impact on the body. It's a system that has proven beneficial to MMA fighters and boxers as fighters are lasting a LOT longer now, but football players experience a much different (and in my opinion, way more dangerous) grind on the body.

Paying more mind to where I got my meat and fish from, increasing my fat intake, and cutting out foods that have sugar and/or produce sugar in the body. Little things like certain vinegars and sauces, but particularly all breads and mid-high sugar fruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 285 lbs. at 6'0" I stopped eating Red Meat, Sugar, Pasta/Breads, Fried Food, All Dairy, Alcohol consumption by 85%. I also take 3 oz. of Apple Cider Vinegar w/water 3 x day, 7 days a week. I only now consume Fish, vegetables, nuts & berries and jog 2.5 Miles/day - 5/6 per week. I'm down to 225 lbs and went from 13 "health risk factors" (cholesterol, Vitamin B, A1C, Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure) to ZERO! in 9 months. It works people. Discipline and sheer will power.

Kinobody on YouTube this dude has figured a way to lose weight and lose body fat that’s amazing- must be disciplined though but the rewards I e experienced are fantastic. Went from 203 to 170. My energy has skyrocketed. I eat better and my digestion has totally changed. Remarkable. the apple cider thing is great. Add lemon juice, cayenne pepper, filtered water, cinnamon.

That’s impressive! If I followed that diet I’d be 80 pounds! But seriously that’s an amazing commitment to your health. I’ve added yoga to my regimen over the last number of years. Really does wonders in really strange ways and I’m 60. Also started light weight lifting ??♀️. I also walk a ton - about 3-5 miles a day. Can’t run anymore. Knees are shot. I feel better now than when I was 45. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red meat is still tough for me to kick. But I did something sort of similar and lost about 20 lbs in a few months. Im short, only 5' 7" but with a wider frame, think Hockey player/ wrestler type body. I cut out sugars and processed crap. Going (mostly) gluten free helped out a lot too, but one needs to be careful of the processed GF stuff. I guess my 'cheat' is a beer here or there but because Im so hard core about the rest of my meals a beer or 2 doesn't hurt much. I moved to the Gulf Shores area of Alabama a few years ago and being allergic to crustaceans (started at age 20) means I basically MUST stay away from all fried food because that stuff is everywhere down here and at every restaurant. I also work at a restaurant with a ton if seafood but my manager meal is usually the garden salad with chicken or the 6oz lunch NY strip with carrots. Anyway, cutting out breads, sugars, and processed stuff worked wonders. ETA: Im 5 lbs off of my HS hockey weight of 165. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, talk about a lukewarm reaction, from a guy not prone to having lukewarm reactions to much of anything. He was more elated when the waitress brought the wings and fries to the table.
