Facundo Campazzo Credits 2016 Diet Overhaul for Staying Elite at Real Madrid

A professionally supervised plan begun in Murcia sustains his near‑youthful energy at age 34.

Overview

  • He says he eliminated flour, red meat, and pasta in 2016 and adopted intermittent fasting under a controlled plan.
  • He implemented the changes with physiotherapist Paulo Maccari and nutritionists and reports recovery levels like in his twenties.
  • He is nearing 500 appearances for Real Madrid and ranks third among foreign players in club games behind Jaycee Carroll and Edy Tavares.
  • His path includes a 2014 Madrid debut, a loan to UCAM Murcia, an NBA stint, and two returns to Madrid, where he says he feels at home.
  • He remains under contract through June 2027 and has not announced a renewal, citing a focus on sustained habits shaped in part by advice from Emanuel Ginóbili.
