Eat like an Olympic victor, circa 700BCE-200CE
“The athletes of this era partook in the diet of an active body, but one that was not terribly different from a standard Greek diet. They ate whole grain breads or porridges, dry figs and feta-like cheeses, like most Greeks would have, but the sources are surprisingly silent on the matter of fish which would have been a part of the standard Greek diet. It was a diet high on natural fibres and calcium, minerals and protein, while being moderately slow in terms of blood sugar, promoting well-rounded good health.”
