Ric Flair Diet Plan
Ric Flair implements a diet plan that is loaded with protein and clean carbs. He has been able to change his ways and described his meal plan in a recent discussion with Men’s Health.
“I used to live by the rule for every pound of bodyweight, you want to have a gram of protein. That’s hard to do. You’d have to eat 20 chicken breasts, two dozen raw eggs a day in the blender. I ate a lot more carbs than I do now.”
Flair explained that he has been able to come up with a new diet plan that is tailored to his goals today.
“I don’t eat much bread. I love pasta but I eat very little pasta and the result of my surgeries I gotta go watch what I eat spicy food will kill me.”
