I need my food to keep my energy up, so I can't really diet.

Food is not just eating energy. It's an experience.

I'm vegetarian so eating right definitely gives me the energy you need.

Oh, God, food is a constant struggle for me. With exercise, I get my workout done, and I'm done until tomorrow. With food, I eat, and then an hour later I'm hungry again!

I don't have a strict diet; I keep it simple. I try to eat fish, meat, veg and carbs - potatoes and rice - but I'll try and pack it in because as I'm burning so much energy. I have to see food as an energy source.

I realized that I didn't need nearly as many calories as I'd grown accustomed to. I ate 100 to 200 calories every two hours or so, consumed healthy proteins (yogurt, lean meat, turkey jerky), and drank a gallon of water a day. And as my weight dropped, my energy soared.

I work out like a maniac, three times more than anything I did in the past. I am off carbs, salt, sweets, and live on a fish diet. And I promise I am not going to indulge in food again. See, when I was 49 years old, I was fine, but the moment I touched 50, I felt that something within me had changed drastically. My metabolic rate dropped.

I eat healthily, as it keeps my energy up.

In the past, if I didn't work, I didn't eat but now I feel I can not work and I won't starve.

I don't know if those things work, where you do, like, this crash diet or crash starvation. It's just not something I've ever been into.
