#Eddie Pepperell is the anti-Bryson DeChambeau with steak and liver diet

After a near five-month hiatus, the Englishman made his first competitive appearance at the Betfred British Masters on Wednesday since he was disqualified from the Qatar Masters in early March. Unlike competitor Bryson DeChambeau, who used the coronavirus break to add significant muscle, Pepperell used the break to get smaller.

Pepperell opted for an “extreme” diet, eating only steak, liver and bone broth.

“I’ve taken the opposite route to Bryson DeChambeau,” Pepperell told Sky Sports. “I think it will pay off more for him than it will for me. I started it the week before Qatar, weirdly. It’s not the best diet for mathematics but it’s good for the waistline. I wanted to improve my health a bit as I had a few injuries last year, if I’m being honest. I saw some photos, and the way I felt for a 28, 29-year-old, I knew it wasn’t right.”

Pepperell is currently ranked No. 82 in the world after falling 17 spots due to his prolonged absence.

Meanwhile, DeChambeau, who’s added at least 25 pounds of muscle in the last six months, and his powerful drives have caught the golfing world by storm. The PGA Tour’s official ShotLink measurements were not able to keep up with the 26-year-old’s drives at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

“I would say that in the mornings I usually have four eggs, five pieces of bacon, some toast and two [Orgain] protein shakes,” DeChambeau said of his breakfast intake.

The rest of the American’s day follows a similar pattern and he estimates that he takes in 3,000-3,500 calories per day.
