Phil Mickelson said that he was describing the new scheme in which he lost 15 pounds before this week's British Open.

In one video that he posted on social media On Sunday, Mickelson said he made a "hard reset" in the last 10 days. Wearing a black hat, a t-shirt and a sports shorts, Mickelson looks serious while holding his glass and talking in front of the camera for the 47-second video.

"I did not post anything because I did not feel good about myself and how I played, so I did not do anything and I did not want to be in public," said Mickelson. .

Lefty, who turned 49 last month, said he lost weight by fasting for six days and drinking a special coffee for health. He also made a small retreat, although he does not give details on what that means.

"I do not know if it will help me play better or not, but I'm ready to do everything in my power to try to recover my best performance," he said.

The 2013 British Open champion missed the cup in three of his last four tournaments and finished T-52 at the US Open last month.

Mickelson has already discussed the adoption of different diets. After being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and struggling in 2010, he followed a strict vegetarian diet.

"I was a strict vegetarian for five months, and everything went well, but in the end, it was doomed to failure, "he said in 2011." I've learned a lot from that with regard to eating habits and diet, and I have therefore implemented many things from this. .

"I continue to eat many more vegetables than in the past and try to have a better balance now than any protein."

He also followed the Paleo diet, which consists of eliminating gluten, sugar and processed foods. "I think that's how we were designed to eat.You have to wonder how a Twinkie can have a five-year shelf life.This can not be good for your performance," he said.
