Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku has lost half a stone in weight after sticking to a strict nutrition regime under Inter boss Antonio Conte.
Lukaku was accused of being overweight towards the end of his time at Manchester United and reportedly weighed 104 kg upon joining Inter.
His apparent lack of fitness was criticised by former United defender Gary Neville, who said he lacked professionalism after the striker admitted to putting on weight.
Neville said, “He’s admitted to being overweight. He is over 100 kg! He’s a Manchester United player!
“He will score goals and do well at Inter Milan but unprofessionalism is contagious!”
However, Sportsmail can reveal the striker has adopted a new diet under Conte, who is passionate about his players following a specific ‘Bresaola diet’.
As part of the Belgian’s diet, fried food, mozzarella and alcohol are firmly off the menu, though Lukaku has had no problem with the latter having always been teetotal.
In their place, Mediterranean menu of vegetables and protein-rich white meats such as turkey and chicken have helped him to shed the pounds.
Lukaku appears to be reaping the benefits of his weight loss on the pitch, after scoring on his Inter debut in their 2-0 Serie A win over Lecce.
He also recently posted a topless selfie on social media showing off his new sculpted physique, along with the caption “Not bad for a fatboy”.
