How do you keep your diet varied when you have to follow such a strict training regimen?
Having a varied diet is important so you don’t get bored. I always try to make everything myself, so even if it means I’m craving a curry, I’ll make one, rather than get a takeaway.
What do you eat on your days off?
Days off look a bit different because I’m not training, so I will tailor my meals to higher protein, less carbohydrates.

I would always say try and get it from a food source, and if you need extra, you can add in protein shakes.
Apart from your speciality, what’s your favourite sport/exercise?
I love boxing training and I enjoy watching it, too. I like it because it’s such a lone sport and you have to be so disciplined as it’s only you in the ring.
