"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ronaldo's weight problems in recent years were caused by hypothyroidism, but pills and a new training regime have made the Brazil striker much fitter, his club AC Milan has said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ronaldo was ridiculed by fans and the press during his time at Real Madrid when his weight ballooned and he became known as \"el gordo\" (the fat one).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He moved to AC Milan in January in a bid to rebuild his career and has since lost 12 pounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The weight loss program, coupled with a hamstring injury, means he will not be fit for Sunday's Serie A kickoff at Genoa but he is expected to be back in three weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Soon you will see him, very soon. It will be a surprise for everyone. He seems like a model,\" Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti told Italian media on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He will have a great season, he is very motivated and really wants to demonstrate again that he is the strongest attacker in the world.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient production of hormones by the thyroid gland and can lead to weight gain.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
