Tell me about your diet: I have never been a big sweets or snack person, or was one that loved breads and pastas, so when I really looked at what was making me gain weight, I realized it was the fried foods and eating fast food. So now, I eat very little fried foods, and couldn’t tell you the last fast food I ate, I do not drink soda, and eat very little sugars. Thankfully I love fish and veggies and I try to eat that as much as possible. I do indulge on weekends at times, but we try to only eat out once a week.
