Robert Lewandowski's secret to goalscoring success is reportedly indebted to a fitness regime masterminded by his wife Anna - which includes a 'backwards eating diet' that sees him eat dessert first.

The Poland captain will be a dangerous opponent for England in Wednesday evening's World Cup qualifier between the two teams, with the 33-year-old one of the top centre-forwards in the world today. 

The forward has scored an incredible 108 goals in his last 87 games for club side Bayern Munich and has backed that up with nine goals in eight matches for his country this calendar year. 

And according to The Times, Lewandowski's wife - a Karate World Cup medallist and fitness instructor - helps him continue this goalscoring form through a special diet and living conditions that keep him at the top of his game. 

The 'backwards eating' diet sees the Polish striker and his wife have a sweet treat first at meal times, most likely a brownie but only one made from pure cocoa. This is followed by rice with meat or fish from select producers, with the meal rounded off by a starter-type option of salad or soup. 

Types of food not allowed in this diet include any kind of fried or fast food, cow's milk or lactose and wheat flour. That means there is a lot of vegetable spaghetti, millet and oat porridge in their weekly food plans.
