Murray Credits New Lifestyle Diet for Improvement
After nearly half a year of going gluten-free, Andy Murray has discovered yet another benefit of the sometimes tasteless lifestyle diet which has lifted his tennis to a new level.
Instead of feeling his former lethargy in the mornings, the Scot says he’s now always ready to rise and shine. Getting up with the birds is no longer the problem it once was.
That attribute proved useful at the Paris Masters last week where the indoor format required some early starts, including one for Murray at 10:30 a.m. against Andy Roddick.
“I think there’s a bit of difference in my approach to training and the diet. I feel pretty fresh,’ said Murray, of the gluten-free regime he’s followed since after Wimbledon. “I slept seven-and-a-half hours after playing both singles and doubles but still woke up feeling fresh. The diet has given me more energy.”
The No. 3 did admit it: “I miss being able to pick up a menu and order what I want — like bread when you’re waiting for your food to come in a restaurant. It can be quite frustrating when everyone else is dunking their bread in olive oil or smearing it in butter.
“It’s a bit of a pain not being able to have a regular yogurt, but it has been worth it.”
To make sure he’s fully fit, Murray has occasional blood tests to see how his new lifestyle is working. So far, it’s been all good.
