Marcos Llorente had a talk about nutrition and eating habits with Carlos Prez, co-author of the book ‘Intermittent Fasting’. The Attician player, a physical marvel, revealed some of its secrets and I talked about the science about fasting.
“I feel very well energetically and I don’t need breakfast to go to training. Like when I’m hungry and I’m able to move around without having eaten anything. In fact, When I had breakfast before going to training, I did it without my body asking me to. When I started listening to my body, the improvement in performance has been very good, “says Llorente.

It all started when he played for Alavs. “It was when I was in Vitoria. A little for my father, who already practiced it, but I still don’t believe much in that. It wasn’t difficult for me to make that change, because when I woke up many days I didn’t feel like having breakfast. It was not a change that cost me a lot. And at the level of intensity with the team I didn’t notice anything, so I kept doing it continuously “he says, and then explains what to eat before changing his habits: “I used to eat little breakfast, because I didn’t eat much at that time. Some smoothie … or some fruit.”
During the talk, Carlos Prez, co-founder of Regenera and professor of the Master of Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology, explained that “There is scientific evidence that intermittent fasting, logically personalized to each situation and person, improves the immune system and, therefore, it also has a very positive consequence for elite athletes like Marcos. “
Marcos Llorente and Carlos Prez, with Regenera Elite, have been working together for the last year and a half to improve sports performance and Marcos recognizes that “I’m sure that in everything that has happened to me during the last year, Regenera has some fault (smile)”.
