I find if I just consume or eat the things which are good for me or avoid the things which I shouldn't have. I am not dogmatic about it. If I am somewhere invited or somebody wants to do something cooked for me for instance when I'm going to, going to work on a portrait of a person they always lay on a sumptuous tea with beautiful lace doilies and cream cake, cakes and that, a feast, a feast. I stick to the wholemeal bread, avoid the jam [laughs]. And all this kind of thing. And but then, then a little piece of chocolate just to please them. I'm not dogmatic about it because I know it doesn't harm me.
I had a little sheet what to eat - as I just say - more fruit, more vegetables, wholemeal cereals or fruit. I don't have cereals except I have porridge or wheat, shredded wheats. Re-educate my palate more or less. So cottage cheese, yoghurts, this kind of thing, baked potato with yoghurt, thick Greek yoghurt and herbs in it which is nice, which is really nice.
So to re-educate the palate, little things but I don't feel that I deprive myself in any way. If it does me good fine. Because I don't really feel “I can't have this, I'm diabetic,” no, no.
They gave me enough information so far and to know more not how shall I say this, I know enough about it actually. And I feel the fabric of your body as such if you put in quality food, then it keeps the fabric whole. So it's, it's like a woven cloth, when you wear it out, it tears you see, so this sort of thing. And I think I'm going in the right direction. That's how I feel. I hope so. |
