Djokovic rues no-chocolate policy in his diet

World number one Novak Djokovic has released his first book a week ago which was titled “Serve to Win: The 14 Day Gluten-Free Plan for Physical and Mental Excellence.” The Serbian revealed that giving up chocolate and pizza was the hardest thing he had to do when he changed his diet. In the book, Djokovic shared details of his gluten-free diet which was credited to have made him even more successful at the ATP Tour, reaching the world number one ranking and winning additional Grand Slam singles titles.

“Toughest for me was definitely chocolate. My father is addicted to chocolate in a way. Was. Not anymore. He gave it up, too. We used to have at home a lot of sweets. If I have chocolate (now) I have cacao or dark chocolate, a very little bit.”

“This particular diet changed my life really in a positive way and affected positively my career and my overall feeling on and off the court,” the Serbian said. “So I particularly wanted to share this kind of food regime and this kind of change that affected my life positively with the people, just present them my own experience.”
