Ex-chef Giorgio Barone has revealed how he catered to Ronaldo and his family's dietary needs.
Speaking to Covers.com, Barone said: “Cristiano Ronaldo’s diet is balanced. He eats a little bit of everything but it’s always healthy.
“Starting with breakfast he would have an avocado with coffee, eggs and no sugar. Absolutely no sugar.
“Lunch could be chicken, fish and always vegetables. If he needs carbohydrates, he gets them through vegetables, so doesn’t need anything made with flour. Nothing like pasta, bread and other types of food.
“In the evening, he eats light foods, usually fish or meat in the form of fillet. It’s always accompanied by vegetables.”
He added: “No milk. Humans are the only animals that drink the milk of other animals. No other animal drinks milk after three months.
“Calves don’t drink milk after the age of three months. Animals don’t drink the milk of other animals. It does not exist in nature.
“Only human beings continue to drink milk up to 30, 40, 50, 60 years and in my view it is wrong.
“We breastfeed from our mothers, like dogs, wolves, cows and donkeys. It is normal. After infancy it is not normal. It is against nature.”
