Checking From Behind Pulling No Punches

Brock Lesnar shared some insight on why and how he got so sick over the last 6 months.

"What got me here was a total protein diet, not enough fiber, and that's where I was," Lesnar said. "I totally changed my diet, got on some natural healing medicine, and was just doing a lot of praying. I had a lot of people praying for me. I'm a carnivore. I'm not a big fan of PETA. I'm a member of the NRA, and whatever I kill, I eat. Basically, I was just for years surviving on meat and potatoes. When the greens came by, I just kept passing them. That will change going forward, and Lesnar said he's going to be certain not to repeat the mistakes of his past. It's now a part of my life. When I'm at home, which I'm there a lot, I have total control of my diet. When I'm on the road, it's kind of a little more harder to do. But it's just making sure I have a well-balanced diet. Why would I go back to my old ways? I don't want to be back in that position ever again. I'm doing change for the better, not for the worse."

Lesnar felt the situation was life-altering and is understanding that change was needed to move forward in being happier.

"[The experience] gave me a different perspective on life and my family," Lesnar said. "I'm a young guy. These things aren't supposed to happen. I consider myself a healthy human being. I'm 32 years old, and for something like this to happen to me, I definitely have to re-evaluate. When you think you're doing all the right things, and then all of a sudden something like this happens, obviously you're not. I have to make some changes."

Brock Lesnar is set to resume training for a bout between the winner of the Frank Mir/Shane Carwin Interim Heavyweight Championship fight. He is expected to take on the winner during the summertime.
