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

When I'm training for 'True Blood,' I don't eat any sugar except for some fruit here and there. So it's no sugar, no bread, no real carbs all day.

Fruit is definitely on the maintenance diet. It's on the lifestyle diet.

I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.

People say you shouldn't eat carbs, but that's crap. I just try to stay away from white ones.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

I eat a lot of vegetables and salad. I put strawberries, pomegranate seeds, blackberries, and blueberries into shakes and add Greek yoghurt for a snack. I have this when I'm not training.

I have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level.

I can't live without carbs.
