Drellich: Pablo Sandoval staying mum on his new diet – Boston Herald

FORT MYERS Hes on a talk-free diet.

Pablo Sandoval has no problem sharing videos on social media to prove just how hard hes worked.

I just want to keep the fans updated (about) what I was doing, he said yesterday.

No videos of dinner time, though. What he eats apparently is off limits.

Everyone knew the guy could lose weight and exercise if he applied himself. The Red Sox third baseman did that in his San Francisco Giants days.

But what hes eating now, and how hes changed his diet, seems to be a sensitive topic.

I got a program. I got a program, its all included, Sandoval said. So I dont worry about that. I got a program, its all included. Im going to continue to keep doing my program. So thats my main goal.

Well, thats descriptive.

Maybe there are foods he likes that have been taken away. Lets start there.

What do you want me to say it is? Sandoval said. I dont miss anything, man. I dont miss anything.

The first man on earth to never miss anything while dieting, ladies and gentlemen. How about ice cream? Everyone likes ice cream. Can you still eat ice cream?

I dont want to tell you about my secrets, he said.

Cookies and cream now is proprietary information.

Why in the world would food be a secret?

No, Sandoval said. Everything.

Every bit of food the Sox third baseman eats is a secret. This makes a lot of sense.

Everything, Sandoval said. Why do you want me to tell you everything I do?

Theres nothing more American than baseball, apple pie and diets. Sandovals an unrelatable figure, making a ton of money while being out of shape for the past two years. But weight loss, or at least the attempt at it, average Joes can understand.

Now, Sandoval has no obligation to be relatable. Fans wont accept him unless he plays well, anyway. But letting people in on his calorie-control effort wouldnt be a bad olive branch.

But I dont want to tell them what Im going to do, Sandoval said. Its my program.

A big, secret program. Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reported Sandoval put his new wife, Yulimar, in charge of his low-carb diet, and that she worked with a nutritionist.

Perhaps its Red Sox nutritionist Glen Tobias, formerly of the New York Jets and hired ahead of this season, who is handling the matter.

Manager John Farrell said someone has been overseeing Sandoval.

Thats part of our medical staff, Farrell said, declining to name the person. We have our nutritionist.

The teams previous nutritionist, Nancy Clark, as well as a Red Sox source said she left the club under amicable conditions that were unrelated to Sandoval.

The person that hired me left, and new people bring in new people, said Clark, who has a private practice in Newton Highlands. I did it for three years, and Im very glad to have my summers back.

Pablo actually, when he was down in Fort Myers, he worked with another dietician who speaks Spanish and lives near Miami, and she did a lot of work with him.

He was a hard worker, Clark added. He spent this past year really getting things together. I mean he really wants to succeed. And he wants to prove himself, and thats what he was saying. ... Hes got a work ethic. I wish him the best.

Overeating, which Sandovals former trainer Ethan Banning has said was the third basemans pitfall, is no small concern. Psychology comes into play.

Hes worked on his all-around, Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said when asked about dieting. Hes worked on nutrition, hes worked on conditioning, hes worked on mental, hes worked on a lot of different parts of the whole thing to make it work. But I think for him, its important to tackle all aspects of it, not just the conditioning end of it.

Farrell noted the importance of a diet, too.

I think if you just use the basic adage more out than more in, hes in the positive column, Farrell said. But its much more detailed than that. Theres been a combination of the work hes put in, the effort hes put in, and I guess a more scientific approach to his diet and what works best for him.

Unless Sandovals eating out of a test tube, science seems a stretch.

OK, lets make it real simple: Is your diet different than its ever been before?

No comment, Sandoval said.

Seems salty.
