MOHAMED SALAH is now widely considered to be among the world’s most dangerous forwards.
The 31-year-old Egyptian sensation has a record-breaking 187 goals for Liverpool in 307 games. He got his season started to a great start last weekend against Bournemouth.
Liverpool star Mo Salah follows a strict diet
In their pursuit of a Champions League spot, Jurgen Klopp views Salah as an integral cog in the wheel.
Because of this, the Reds are ignoring Saudi Arabia’s offers, and Al-Ittihad is getting ready to pay him more than any player in the world.
Thanks to his intense training regimen, which included 3am sessions during Ramadan, and stringent diet, the ex-Chelsea forward has become a legend.
Salah has become one of the most chiseled stars in football, following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, all because he sacrificed.
You can see his process here.
Even though Salah gives himself a pizza cheat day every so often, the food he eats on a regular basis is vital to his performance.
Speaking about his diet, the Egyptian told CNN, “Nutrition is so important, it’s part of the game.
“It has helped with my recovery, allowed me to sleep better and helped my body adapt quickly.
“My nutritionist says that because I don’t have any fat on my body, I can eat what I want. I also don’t drink so it’s fine.”
And it’s fair to say, the devout Muslim is usually very careful with his food.
For breakfast, he will eat parathas – a puffy flatbread – with a glass of milk.
If he’s still hungry, he will then go for a bowl of fruit.
When it comes to lunch, Salah tends to load up on more calories. He enjoys lentils, vegetables, bread, chicken, and will finish with a bowl of yogurt.
His favourite dish is an Egyptian speciality called kushari, which is made from rice, macaroni and lentils and topped with spiced tomatoes, chickpeas and onions.
He revealed: “When I go back to Egypt, I call my friend from the airport to buy kushari for us to eat in the car.
“I pull my hoodie over my head, jump into the car and then I’m eating it straight away.”
Light fare like soup, salad, and veggies is the norm for dinner. To quench his thirst, he’ll have some sugar-free fresh fruit juice.
Salah’s fixation on exercise is indicative of his commitment to his profession.
When he’s not working out with the Reds, you can find him doing things like weightlifting, bodyweight workouts, plyometrics, yoga, swimming, and stretching.

“Normally, I get up early to go for training which starts either in the morning or in the afternoon,” Salah told ON Ent.
“Then I come for recovery for almost two hours. Therapy for any injuries or specific massage so you mitigate any suffering of your body.
“After that, I go to the gym here at the club which is optional for players. After training, I do stretching and recovery again.
“Finally, I go to the pool at the club or with Makka [his daughter] at home. I finish all these activities around 7 or 8pm.”
Salah spared no effort in his quest to tone his abdominal muscles throughout Ramadan.
After fasting during the day, he pounded the weights at his home gym at 3 in the morning.
Salah had a slender physique when playing for Chelsea.
His lack of definition persisted even when he discovered his form while on loan at Fiorentina and secured a move to Roma.
But he has seen an incredible change in his body because he has been exercising regularly and sticking to a diet.
Salah today has ripped abs and biceps that are practically jumping out of his Liverpool jersey.
On Instagram, he often shows off his chest to his devoted followers.
His teammates are just as enamored with his stunning figure as everyone else.
Andy Robertson, a Scotland international, posted a photo of Salah swimming shirtless in 2021.
He made the hilarious comment that his friend looked like he had “a bit of body fat to lose” in the picture.
If that’s the case, SunSport had best get their workout bike on full blast.
