www.MOSTmag.com || FITNESS MAG A ZINE || 27FMM: What does your average diet consist of, and do you have any vices when it comes to food?AS: My average diet is anything but! I basically try to stay off of breads and starches, and for the most part eat well-only organic/grass fed/whole foods. But I really work out so I can enjoy food and go out to eat with friends when I like. I tend to graze more than sit down and have three square meals and instead try to eat when I%u2019m hungry. If I am training for something I will detox from sugar, salt, starches, for a little bit, but besides that I eat everything. My biggest vices when it comes to food would be chicken tenders and sweet potato fries (so during football season I try to stay away from sports bars but it%u2019s hard) as well as Chinese pork soup dumplings (XLB-Xiao long baos). I try to have fresh squeezed juices a few times a week and avoid any sodas or other juices.FMM: If you need to learn something about diet and/or fitness, who or where do you go to in order to get the answers you need?AS: One of my best friends is a personal trainer, Gin Li(ly) Chang at Evolution Trainers.com, so I usually go to her for advice. I%u2019ll also hear about different trends or new workouts pretty quickly through word of mouth or from other friends I work out with. FMM: You covered the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver for Yahoo! Sports, and you were photographed holding a Gold Medal. Whose medal were you holding, and how did that whole Olympic experience impact you personally?AS: It was Snowboarder Seth Westcott%u2019s gold medal! Working the Olympics has been a dream of mine for many years, so when Yahoo Sports asked me to go cover the winter Olympics in Vancouver, I was ecstatic. I have covered many sporting events in the past, but there is an international spirit that can%u2019t be replicated (unless it%u2019s the world cup perhaps) during the Olympics. I was studying abroad during the Sydney Olympics and experienced for the first time how a whole city and country can rally behind sports. The atmosphere at the winter Olympics was indescribable, and it was the first time I had been to Vancouver. It was amazing to tell the stories of world class athletes and how much they had overcome to reach the world%u2019s highest stage for sports and to witness world records in the making. I would still love to cover a Summer Olympics and World Cup one day.
