Marcos Llorente has garnered attention for his unique ‘cavemen’ diet, in which he avoids ultra-processed food products like pasta, bread, and cereal. Instead, he focuses on consuming foods such as meat, fish, vegetables, and “high-quality” cheeses. Llorente explained that his dietary choices are in line with the Paleolithic diet, emphasizing the elimination of ultra-processed foods, cereals, and dairy. He also includes carbohydrates such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava in his diet.
Despite being known for his football prowess, Llorente clarified that his dietary choices stem from a desire for overall health rather than for the benefit of his career. Since joining Diego Simeone’s team in 2019, Llorente has proven to be a versatile player and a key figure in the Atletico team. His commitment to a distinct diet has likely contributed to his well-defined physique. In a recent interview on Cadena SER programme El Larguero, Llorente mentioned that his adherence to the ‘Caveman’ diet is not just a dietary choice, but a lifestyle and a way of living.
It is evident that Llorente takes great care in monitoring and selecting the foods he puts into his body, with a focus on natural and unprocessed options. Ultimately, his approach to nutrition reflects a personal commitment to health and well-being.
