David Montgomery stopped eating red meat this offseason. He pushed away beef jerky — the flamin’ hot flavor was his favorite — and the Swiss cheese he liked so much as a rookie.
“To me, it was the best in the world,” he said. “I realized that that wasn’t good for me. Whenever I felt the craving for a Krispy Kreme donut, I’d definitely go have one, back in the day. But now I fight the urge to go have one.”
The result: the Bears’ top running back is about six pounds lighter than he was last year, when he played at 224 pounds.
