Jakob Chychrun's peculiar diet is raising a lot of eyebrows and turning many stomachs
The last couple of seasons have certainly been a patience-tester for Jakob Chychrun, formerly of the Arizona Coyotes, currently an Ottawa Senator. Chychrun's name had been tied up in rumours since the start of the Coyotes' rebuild first got underway a few short seasons ago, however, since he was a young player with a pretty high ceiling and signed to a very reasonable contract, coming up with a fair value. Now with Ottawa, Chychrun is looking to put that whole mess behind him and focus on the future with his new team.
While Chychrun is no stranger to having his name in the headlines, he made headlines for a whole different reason this week - his unusual diet, which is something he's used to catching flak for from those around him. Among the things he eats on a regular basis? Raw liver and raw beef heart.
''The guys think I'm crazy. My family thinks I'm crazy. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy. It's a lot of protein and I'm not really eating carbs. On game days. I'll eat some sweet potatoes, some white rice, fruit, but all my dairy stuff I try to get raw. I'm really big into that. It's like an ancestral way of living, and I'm also eating raw liver, raw beef heart, doing all this crazy stuff. The taste is awful, but your body almost craves it when you eat it consistently because it's just so nutrient dense.''
No thanks, Jakob. Hopefully the phrase "more for me" is one he uses, because I don't think he's going to encounter too many people who are lining up to eat raw organs, challenging his supply.
