Obviously, for my line of work, I cannot eat barbecue that often. It takes a little bit to digest and it's not the healthiest thing to eat.
I had to make lifestyle changes and stick to them for the rest of my life. For instance, I've had to give up bread, rice, sugar, and oil completely.
One thing you can't do with babies, you can't give them steak.
I had to give up a lot of foods that I'm accustomed to eating: dairy products, beer, wine, spicy food.
Oh yeah, I don't eat a lot of candy on tour. When I get home, man, I love candy. Oh, man, and ice cream. I can't eat it on tour because of the sugar and my throat.
I'm sauteing asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, some boneless, skinless chicken breast, some halibut. That's about it; that's all I'm allowed. That's what's legal for me to saute.
I can't eat bread, anything fried, or even drink a beer.
I am forbidden sugar, fat, and alcohol. So hooray, I guess, for oatmeal, lemon juice, and chicken soup.
I don't eat cereal actually... Frosted Flakes... that's as close as I can get.
You can't really indulge in anything when you're wearing a unitard. No bread, no beer, no anything delicious.
'Rules dieters' find limitations oddly freeing, because the restrictions create a framework that's easy to follow. Essentially, rules dieters don't do well when they're let off plan, mainly because they are usually emotionally attached to food in some way.
