Samuel Umtiti, defender at Barcelona, said that he became vegan.
“I had a lot of relapses, it even concerned caviar muscle. The problem was not in the knee, but in the general imbalance. I needed to stop and ask myself the right questions. That’s what I do. It was necessary to start from the beginning,” Umtiti said, in an interview with Canal Football Club.
“I became a vegan. I don’t eat meat, fish. I really care about all this. Plant protein makes you feel good. I don’t eat pasta anymore. My body was feeling much better. I lost three kilograms, I needed it,” he said.
“I’ve never been so well prepared physically. I lost weight and became stronger at the same time, I never trained so much, I never was so meticulous in every detail. I think it will play a big role for my career.”
