Simmons says
I am definitely not a foodie. Frankly, I just don't have time to create mouth-watering masterpieces of 'infused-this' and 'slow-cooked-that'. That doesn't mean to say though that I don't think about what I eat and appreciate food. I limit my alcohol intake and I eat a very healthy, balanced, organic diet that complements my training regime.
I would say that my overall diet is high protein, with a balance of good fats and carbohydrates. I always have a protein shake after training, unless I am trying to lean out for a photo shoot. If that's the case, I will avoid all sugar including fruit and limit my liquid intake to just water.
