GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has trimmed his diet of a food category that’s somewhat sacred in “America’s Dairyland.”
No cheddar. No gouda. No milk. No dairy — period.
The MVP quarterback says he wanted to be healthier following his recent knee surgery and consulted with the team nutritionist. He says cutting out dairy can reduce inflammation in certain parts of your body.
Rodgers says he’s been eating lots of fruits and vegetables with some chicken and red meat. USA Today Network-Wisconsin says that at 218 pounds, Rodgers is the lightest he’s been since 2007.
