I'm not going to starve just to be thin... I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.

I don't starve myself. Anyone who knows me will tell you I have an appetite. I'd much rather work out and not diet than not work out and have to diet.

I don't go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.

When you're trying to lose weight, one of the most important things you can do is eat three decent meals a day so that you're not so hungry that you can't get food off your mind. Habit and hunger have long been the basic, insidious enemies of the overweight. We can't fight hunger, but we can fight habit.

Some people who meet me might think I starve myself, because there's such an assumption that being thin involves putting yourself through torture and punishing your body, but I'm just naturally skinny - you should watch me demolish a ploughman's lunch.

I say to folks all the time, 'Watch what you're eating. You don't have to eat it all. Make conscious choices. It doesn't mean you have to starve yourself and eat carrots all day.' Have an awareness.

I can't just sit all day on the couch and expect the weight to come off. My goals are my new focus instead of food.

I have a very pragmatic approach to diets. Ones you can't stick to don't do you any good. Some people say, 'Just eat half of what's on your plate,' but I can't do that!

I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out.

I have tried every diet to lose weight. When you restrict yourself, you're setting yourself up for failure.
