Diet

“I don’t have a typical eating day. It’s different every day but I give myself rules about the confines of what I can eat. Everybody does different things that work for them. Some people fast, some count calories. For me, a ketogenic diet works, where I minimize carbohydrates and sugars and am living off protein and good fat. I like it because it’s the least amount of thinking. What’s hard for me is, I love the feeling of a really full stomach and I’m sometimes denying myself that. You can still do a keto diet and get full, but try smaller meals and not eating until you feel full, and avoid carbohydrates and sugar. Whenever we sit down for dinner and I’m cooking or my wife is cooking, it’s always a protein, a green vegetable and then a starch like rice or bread. I tend to eat the protein and the vegetable and I just don’t eat the carbs, so it’s a very normalized thing. Whenever you are ready, whenever you feel like it, every day is a new day. When it comes to eating healthier, we tend to flog ourselves and punish ourselves if we don’t do exactly what we plan to do. Just remember, every new day is available to you to change your habits.”
