Dwight Howard Diet routine

I got rid of all the things that had a lot of sugar in them from last season when I started the diet. I didn't drink a lot of water. I would eat candy and just drink Gatorade. That's a lot of sugar to be putting in your body. 

I just got rid of all that stuff. I started putting things in my refrigerator like pecans, almonds, stuff like that. And I really just stopped all the junk food. I had to really cut back fruits because of all the sugar. The sugar, what it does is, it sits in those joints. And once it gets in your blood, it sits in your joints and those joints start to hurt and ache. 

I also juiced a lot during last season and that kind of just gave me more energy and the ability to play back-to-backs. 

I don't eat bread but pasta may be once or twice a week. I don't eat a lot of steak, so it's fish and chicken and stuff like that.
