"But I have got a good nutritionist and like I said when I get like... I am aware of my body a lot. And you know, you get from top shape to like getting all fat and I can right away feel that. And I start feeling shit. So, then you see me going out for like two hours bike rides everyday just to like so that I can eat [chuckles]. Also, but I try to not touch 220 ever ever... Then i have a good nutritionist that makes sure the diet is not.. you know keeps his variety in the diet and lets me eat carbs..."
