Vegetarian Star

Roger Federer won’t be writing a book about plant-based and gluten-free diets like his competitor Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic’s Serve To Win follows his journey to better health and play once he took a physician’s advice to give up wheat.

Federer has had no such problems in his life and insists he really prefers to eat a bit of everything, although he did grow up eating more of a plant-based than meat diet.

He makes fun of gluten-free, but doesn’t mock vegetarian diets.

During a press conference covering news around the U.S. Open, Federer joked:

“Oh, no, I have extra gluten (laughter). No, I mean, I don’t. I’ve always paid attention to what I eat. I’ve always been a healthy eater. Clearly you can take it to the next step, you know, when to eat, exactly what, before the match, during the match, after the match, what to eat exactly if you’re not sure. I grew up sort of as a vegetarian when I was younger. I’m happy I can eat a bit of everything today, which makes it easier overall. I’ve seen some nutritionists from time to time, but nothing crazy or major really.”

Hate watching gluten?

Grow up “sort of” vegetarian?

Now may be the best time to celebrate being able to eat almost anything and enjoy a hummus and veggie wrap on whole wheat tortilla.
