Turbored Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Here you go @Griffin Adam Matthews has cut out fizzy drinks in a bid to return to his very best form for Bristol City in the Championship. When the loan signing from Sunderland was sidelined by a hamstring injury last month, City head coach Lee Johnson decided to draw up a fitness programme for the Wales international right-back. Since recovering, the 24-year-old has been training three times and day, while he has taken advice from the club's team of sports scientists regarding his diet.

Head coach Johnson revealed: "Adam has worked very hard and now looks as though he is in good nick. He has lost a bit of timber and is moving well, which is good news. Read more: Johnson pays Taylor Moore ultimate compliment by comparing him to legendary Sir Bobby Moore "We gave him three sessions a day and really went strong on his diet, cutting out the sugary drinks. Everybody is different. Some people might get the munchies at 9pm and consume 400 Maltesers, like me, or others might have an addiction to Coca Cola. It's a case of re-educating players to put the right things inside their bodies. "Certainly Adam Matthews, when fully fit, is one of the best right-backs in the division, and we want to get him back to that. It's not a punishment thing, it's us saying we love you and we will do our very best to help you.

He played 45 minutes, but was substituted at half time as a precaution. Johnson explained: "There was no recurrence of the injury, just the muscle getting fatigued in what was a tough game. I'd have liked him to get 60 minutes but, in the end, I felt the right thing to do was take him off at half time.

I think it was a good decision to make the change when I did. "I want to keep everybody match fit and, the good thing as far as Adam is concerned, is that he has got the monkey off his back as far as playing again is concerned."

The Constant Rabbit Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I find it utterly astounding that a grown man, who has represented his country has to be told by a 'sports scientist' that 'fizzy drinks' are fattening! Surely the player himself has to take some responsibility for his own diet, as a full time professional football player? Well done LJ and City - but c'mon Adam - it's not Rocket Science!

Lew-T Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I feel his pain. I too do occasionally drink fizzy drinks and I know others that do too who also smoke aswell.

No but they illicit a hormonal response, which is the trigger of addiction. Ingest sugar --> rise in blood sugar levels --> insulin spiked --> blood sugar levels crash --> body craves sugar.

robin_unreliant Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm not convinced it is the sugar which makes coke addictive anyway. I drink diet coke and can personally attest to how hard it is to stop craving the bloody stuff. Given it up a couple of times but keep going back. There must be something apart from sugar in it.

Bat Fastard Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Someone once told me that they used to nobble greyhounds before a race by giving them a meat pie. It could not be traced - unlike drugs, but the dog would not be able to run as fast. Maybe this is the same for footballers. But I like meat pies!

Benzo addiction was common place in my former line of work and we often had to ease people off them by reducing their dosage fairly rapidly down to around 10mgs a day. Then gradually reduced the dosage 2mgs at a time until they were on the just 2ml a day. Bear in mind that benzodiazepines have a relatively short half life - around 8 hours getting the patient off that last 2mgs was the hardest part..... Throughout the detox and afterwards we worked with them to develop atlternative ways of coping with anxiety by using their own cognitive resources. You will get free of them so stay strong.

Very difficult to prove it's that alone if imagine, more likely those of the larger variety choosing an easy option to make it look like they're doing something whilst still pigging out.
