Carbs Quotations

I don't do faddy diets any more. I once did a no-carbs diet a few years ago but it made me depressed. I couldn't be doing with that!

Eating-wise, I'm fairly disciplined. I have to be, because if you're not eating correctly, you're not giving your body the fuel it needs. So, I stay away from carbs after the morning, and I eat a lot of protein - fish, chicken, and no red meat.

After a training camp workout, my body is eager to replace nutrients and energy that are lost during the workout. It's best to have a quick bite about 30 minutes after practice. I like to have yogurt and granola, the combination of carbs and protein helps me recover after a long and tiring workout.

For me, it's all about moderation. I don't kick things out of my diet, like carbs. But I'm not going to eat fast food.

But Americans find me bizarre and always ask me why I eat so many carbs. I tell them I don't get full otherwise.

Carbs are devastating for the brain.

I stay away from big chunks of carbs and try to keep it lean, even when I'm competing.

No carbs after lunch is one of the hardest (rules) to follow. But if you follow this rule YOU WILL lose weight

For me, I just like to cut out bread. I like to keep the good carbs in my diet - I love pasta and Italian food - but I try to eat just that on the weekends and cut out carbs during the week.

I make lots of casseroles that have protein, veggies, carbs and good fats all together.
