Isaac Success story

by Senator WIRES
Success spent his summer running, checked in with a personal trainer, shed weight, kicked some bad habits and even gave up his beloved jollof rice to adhere to Gracia's new dietary regime.
The transformation has been impressive and his reward has been to feature in every Premier League game this season, starting six of the last seven, ending his long wait for another goal and signing a new five-year contract.
I was eating a lot of African food and it was a little bit heavy but I've cut that out and I'm on the team diet, eating with the team. Eating earlier at night, it's really helped.
Isaac Success Ajayi (Success really is his middle name) idolised Didier Drogba as a boy and burst onto the scene with his explosive performances at the African U17 Championship in 2013, although he came close to missing the chance.
Douglas Idahosa, coach of the BJ Foundation youth team in his home town of Benin City, paid the equivalent of £6 each for four of his young players to make the seven-hour journey by bus to the national trials in Calabar but none were selected.

The main factor was that I wasn't fit and wasn't working,' says Success. 'I made mistakes because I wasn't working hard and needed to concentrate more. I'll always be the same person but I needed to reduce everything I was doing and I've reduced it.
Glad to see he is back on track. Kudos to him. I look forward to him continuing to develop under Garcia

Don't give jollof and African food a bad name
When you eat a bowl of fufu, pound or jollof rice instead of plate portions you will have weight problems

Kai, can we send his team diet to bigpokey so he can shed the turkey neck before summer time, so he can move on from the Ghana girl that dumped him and find a new one.

Amala is actually low in carbs and high in fiber. Nothing better for a pro athlete than a bowl of Amala daily.

Starchy foods are actually good for you. They are not fattening as most people think. They are high energy foods which convert to sugar in the blood stream. You do have to increase your daily workouts to avoid the sluggishness that comes with bigger muscles
Cheers.
