The No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft has already reached out to Brady’s former coach, Alex Guerrero, as he prepares for professional life.

“I know Caleb talked to Alex a few times on the phone,” former NFL player TJ Houshmandzadeh told FS1. To speak.

“They talked a lot for a few hours on the phone about things you should do, things you should look for.”

The TB12 Method is named after Brady’s initials and his jersey number.

It was co-created by Brady and Guerrero, a controversial self-taught exercise guru.

The lifestyle plan incorporates “a series of healthy daily habits across five pillars: flexibility, nutrition, hydration, movement and mental fitness.”

Her diet plan is primarily plant-based and organic, designed to reduce inflammation and improve recovery.

The diet encourages 80% of foods to be organic, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes.

Organic, grass-fed beef and hormone- and antibiotic-free poultry make up the remaining 20%, along with wild-caught fish and seafood.

Several items are prohibited, including alcohol, breakfast cereals, condiments such as ketchup, caffeine, fruit juice, snack foods such as chips and pretzels, sugary snacks such as cookies and cakes, and processed meats.

In an interview with boston.com, Brady’s personal chef, Allen Campbell, gave insight into Brady’s healthy lifestyle.

“No white sugar. No white flour. No MSG. I will use raw olive oil, but I never cook with olive oil,” Campbell said.

“I only cook with coconut oil. Fats like canola oil turn into trans fats. … I use pink Himalayan salt for sodium. I never use iodized salt.

“[Tom] Don’t eat nightshades, because they are not anti-inflammatory. Therefore, no tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms or eggplants.

“Tomatoes come in every now and then, but maybe only once a month. I’m very cautious about tomatoes. They cause inflammation.

“What else? No coffee. No caffeine. No fungus. No dairy.

“Kids eat fruit. Tom, not so much. He eats bananas in a smoothie. But other than that, he prefers not to eat fruit.”

Brady revealed he drank up to two and a half liters of water a day during his career.

“TB12 is simple: drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water every day,” Brady wrote in his book The TB12 Method.

“That’s the minimum. Ideally, you’ll drink more than that, and with added electrolytes as well.

“This makes sense considering the composition of our bodies.”

Brady even cited water consumption as the reason he doesn’t get sunburned.

“Nowadays, even if I get a lot of sun, I won’t get sunburn, which I attribute to the amount of water I drink,” he wrote.

“I always moisturize afterwards too, to prevent my skin from peeling.”

In an interview with ESPNBrady credited Guerrero’s “genius” for his recovery from a devastating knee injury in 2008 and for helping him reach peak “flexibility.”

Brady also said that Guerrero “has been a big reason” he was still playing well into his forties.

In an interview with ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, Williams revealed he’s already implementing the Brady diet, which includes no white rice, white flour, red sauce, sugar, and more.

“Obviously he has the knowledge as a 22-year-old, regardless of how long he’s played, to play ball and be healthy,” Williams said of Brady.

“Ultimately, that’s what I’m trying to achieve: play as long, play as much as I can and be healthy through it all.

“A big part of it is diet and training and how you exercise. And then when the mental part comes onto the field, the physical part takes over.

“But the things I can control, control those things, which is my diet and that’s a big key to being able to play for so long.”
