Jakob Chychrun opens up about his 'crazy' hockey diet.

This doesn't exactly sound appetizing. 

The newest member of the Ottawa Senators has shared some top secret details about how he stays in tip top shape, the specific details of which might make you happy that you never made it to the National Hockey League. 

This week, Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun revealed that he has quite a unique diet when it comes to his nutritional regimen, one that apparently includes a fair bit of raw meat. Chychrun revealed that he has been eating an assortment of raw meat in an effort to get more nutrients into his diet, all the while admitting that the taste is horrible.

Perhaps the most interesting detail of the NHL defenseman's comments though was his revelation that, in spite of the horrible taste, he still gets cravings for the bizarre diet.

"I'm also eating raw liver, raw beef heart, doing all this crazy stuff," admitted Chychrun this week. "The taste is awful, but your body almost craves it when you eat it consistently because it's just so nutrient dense."

While it may sound disgusting to many of you, and trust me it sounds pretty gross to me as well, you do have to admire his dedication to his physical fitness and physical well being. That Chychrun is willing to sacrifice a good meal for something that even he admits is unpalatable truly speaks to just how dedicated he is to being the best NHL player he can possibly be.
