Golden State Warriors’ owner wants Steph Curry to follow Tom Brady’s diet, this action also implies that he had to forgo something he greatly enjoys

Golden State Warriors’ team owner Joe Lacob expressed his encouragement for Steph Curry to adopt Tom Brady’s diet and lifestyle, recognizing the potential benefits for longevity in sports.

However, this would entail Curry giving up his wife’s renowned pasta dishes, as Brady’s dietary regimen, outlined in his 2017 book “The TB12 Method,” strictly avoids gluten, dairy, and tomatoes, including pasta. Lacob believes that adopting Brady’s lifestyle could help extend the careers of players like Curry and his teammate Klay Thompson. Despite the dietary adjustments, Curry, who recently delivered a stellar performance with 50 points in the NBA All-Star game, aims to emulate Brady’s career success, having already secured three NBA Finals victories with the Warriors.

At 33 years old, Curry would need to play another 11 NBA seasons and win four more championships to match Brady’s remarkable career, who retired at 44 with seven Super Bowl titles. Nonetheless, Curry’s commitment to such a regimen would mean forgoing some of his favorite pasta dishes crafted by his wife, celebrity chef Ayesha Curry.

Ayesha Curry, married to Steph Curry since 2011, shared in 2016 with Page Six that her husband’s pre-game ritual includes enjoying her pasta dishes. She further elaborated at the beginning of the current season to Mashed that Steph particularly loves her “Rasta Pasta.” However, this dish includes ingredients such as gluten, processed carbs, dairy, soy, trans fats, and tomatoes—elements explicitly avoided by Tom Brady in his diet regimen outlined on the TB12 website.

Brady’s dietary restrictions extended to omitting corn, coffee, MSG, alcohol, GMOs, and nightshade fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, strawberries, and eggplants. Notably, Brady abstained from pasta entirely throughout his career, as indicated by TB12, instead favoring unprocessed plant-based carbohydrates such as rice, quinoa, legumes, and non-nightshade fruits.

While Brady’s adherence to such dietary guidelines facilitated his NFL longevity, experts caution against excessively restrictive diets due to their potential lack of sustainability over time, as previously reported by Insider’s Rachel Hosie and Gabby Landsverk.
