Barcelona star Messi's form reversal due to diet

Argentina's nutritionist Giuliano Poser has revealed a change of diet has helped Barcelona star Lionel Messi recover his best form.

Poser revealed some of the secrets which have enabled the player to boost his performance levels and shed a few pounds.

“He has cut out all processed foods and replaced them with food rich in vitamins – cereals, vegetables, fish and olive oil.

"He’s won everything there is to win in football but he wants to continue at the top level for many more years and he knew that he had to change something. Leo is an intelligent and intuitive person. The changes we’ve made have helped him to train at greater intensity,” Poser told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
