Morning rituals of champions - urine instead of coffee

Trainers and doctors say that diet is one of the most important factors for good shape, but some athletes don't agree with this. This are the strangest ways of nutrition among athletes.

Michael Phelps champion nutrition consists of 12,000 calories per day, or six times more than any normal person. Among other things, it includes eating 8 eggs and three chocolate pancakes for breakfast, he eats pasta and two large sandwiches with ham, cheese and mayonnaise for lunch and eating one pound of pasta and pizza for dinner.

During the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, swimmer Ryan Lochte fed exclusively at McDonalds. He had his breakfast, lunch and dinner there, bringing in between 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day. But this unhealthy diet didn't prevent Lochte to win four gold medals at this Olympics.

Legendary baseball player of NY Jankees, Babe Ruth, was known for his routine which consisted of three hot-dogs before match, and he used to wake up every morning with one  glass of whiskey.

NFL rugby player, Chad Ochocinko also loves McDonald's. Similar as Lohti, he often eats three main meals consisted of burgers. "Do not be convinced that McDonald's food is harmful. Eat what you want, but train properly, and you'll have no problem" claims Ochocinko.
Lamar Odom of the LA Clippers is never enough of candy. He eats 4-5 packets of chocolates every day, and often wakes up at night and can not fall asleep until he doesn't eat a few candies.
Candie addict is also NFL rugby player Marsawn Lynch who even consumes them during a match.
Brazilian UFC champion Lyoto Machida every morning drinks his own urine. This is routine he learned from his father who comes from Japan and is a former karate champion. They claim drinking urine is like a vaccine and has a healing effect.
