You know you've arrived, when the world wants to know what you eat. And tennis ace Novak Djokovic, who beat Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon final to become World Number One, certainly has! Everyone wondered what the secret to Djokovic's turning into a powerhouse was, as he hit demolishing serves and unbeatable backhands in a fierce match. The answer? Following a gluten-free diet.



Djokovic is allergic to the protein composite that appears in foods processed from wheat, rye and barley. So, he cuts out all gluten-related products from his diet. The change has led to his shedding a few pounds, and might even be the reason for his success on the court. Pizzas, pastas, breads, cakes and beer are strict no-nos for Djokovic.

Cornflour and potatoes are used as substitutes in recipes that call for gluten. The gluten-free diet is credited with greater mental energy, a definitive advantage in life and professional tennis. The results? There for the world to see!
