Juicing Champ

JUICING CHAMP!  

BY DANA SCHUSTER

After a rapid 21-pound weight loss, Knicks coach Mike Woodson shed his usual baggy duds for a slick blazer at Monday night’s book party for “1 Pound a Day” by Roni DeLuz and James Hester. “It was weird not eating food,” he said, still coming down from his three-week January detox, during which he subsisted on juices. “It was hard to give up a nice glass of wine and a good steak,” he added, sipping a hard-earned glass of red but passing on a tofu-based hors d’oeuvre. “I can’t even think of the 10 a.m. drink,” he said. “There was a powder that you’d mix with water. It was made of green leaves. It was awful.” Still, the trim coach said the detox paid off. “I just feel good. My players will be proud of me.”
