Be sports, my meals are very simple. It only depends on the fuel I need. So I have never said: “Oh, let me take out my cooking book and see what sauces I can add to it.” It was just “true, this is carbohydrates, and this is a protein, and this is the vegetables and vitamins that I need to do so, hit them together and eat them before training.” When I was playing the rugby, it was particularly strict. [Fury, aka Jodie Ounsley, was a rugby union player for Exeter Chiefs women.] But I am now a wrestler, and it’s no longer full: I still always eat good food, but it will be good to expand what I eat.
I love every cheese cake. Do you know Tony chocolate? They continue to bring strange things all the time. I swear that I tried one of them and then they would come out a new one with pastries or something like that. These are the things I have to go.
Which of the wrestlers has the most exotic diet? It should be the giant. The amount of food that a person eats crazy. I remember the first training courses we did, honestly stunned me: he had huge baking bowls full of porridge. This was just his breakfast! But it burns the calories all the time, even when it is in a rest period, and you do not care when he exercises.
My father was a fighter in mixed martial arts, so I grew up in that environment. My mom does not exercise herself, but she helped my father in his diet, so she has a great idea of how to feed athletes. It truly roasting and buding Yorkshire – those are comfortable foods for my first -class family. On the Bon Fire night, you always prepare a pie of meat and potatoes. It does not seem great, but its taste is unrealistic, and it simulates the Yorkshire atmosphere.
When I was three years old, I picked up a bag of carrots, I put them on my shoulder and started running around the kitchen. My father was participating in the charcoal race [the annual world coal carrying championships in Gawthorpe, Yorkshire] And I remember that I saw him running bags on his back in the garden and training for that. I did not understand what he was doing, but I imitated it. He said I continued to go and go. So my father brought me into the children’s race and won it. I did it every year from then until she became a professional player in the game of rugby and had to stop.
In the popular rugby game, everyone drinks after the match. But when you enter the professional rugby game, it is clear that it is completely strict and that eating alcohol is very limited. Because I moved from the house when I was sixteen years old to practice a rugby sport completely, drinking alcohol was not really interesting. I spent some crazy nights when I was 18 years old, but now I will eat a glass of wine or apple juice on a special occasion.
The only cooking books that I own are for the air frying pan It has been greatly affected: you can put crushed corn chips on the chicken and will taste like Kentucky Fried Chicken – but much more healthy. It is really useful if you are in constant move. You can put some chicken quickly or even prepare the omelette in it, saving a lot of time.
I wish I loved the fish, but I cannot bear it. It is very annoying, because it has great nutritional value and its appearance is also beautiful. Even shrimps, fish and potato chips – anything that comes out of the sea must be, I cannot penetrate it.
I try to get most of my food and then add nutritional supplements to it: Vitamin D, vitamin C, omega -3, magnesium.
If I can invite anyone to a dinner party, Usain Bolt should be. Just because I was completely adore it when I was younger. I remember his vision in the Olympic Games, and I am convinced that this prompted me to say: “Yes, I want to become a sport.”
My favorite things
food
The chicken should be. I have chicken in different shapes for each meal. Aside from breakfast. Oh my God, no! I do not have chicken on breakfast.
drink
We have to drink water most of the time, but I love soft drinks, and perhaps cola, if I am treating myself. It is clear that I love Yorkshire tea.
Dining
This must be the Curry House to which the family goes, Spiced Mango near Dewsbury. It is a suitable place led by a family and is managed by real people working hard and it is beautiful.
Plate
The first meal I learned to cook was a reserve with chicken, shoreso and spinach. It is my comfortable meal now if you go home or want to cook a person.
