CSM: How do you keep yourself educated or up-
dated for latest trends and information in healthy
living or lifestyle?
LEWYS: Constantly learning and progressing. I
am currently studying to be a nutritionist.
CSM: How important is food and nutrition to you
as a model, athlete or as an individual?
LEWYS: Very important as nutrition and diet
is the fundamental key to achieving your dream
physique and staying healthy.
CSM: Describe the essential skills to be effective
in maintaining your figure or shape.
LEWYS: Keep track your diet and keep training
in the gym.
CSM: What are your ideas about non-organic
food versus organic?
LEWYS: If you can afford organic food then I
would recommend it but if not the benefits aren’t
worth going bankrupt for.
CSM: What are your views on an all-meat diet
versus a vegan diet?
LEWYS: Both has its advantages and disadvan-
tages. Every food source has a purpose. It comes
down to the quantity and consuming everything
in moderation.
CSM: What groups of food do you usually eat?
LEWYS: Fats, carbs, and protein. Main macro-
nutrient sources: carbohydrates – basmati rice
and rolled oats; fats – cooking oil and peanut but-
ter; protein – whey isolate, chicken, white fish
and turkey.
CSM: Do you think customized meal plans are
really necessary? Why is that?
LEWYS: Yes, as some people don’t have the
knowledge or determination to do it themselves.
CSM: Any fitness goals for yourself? What are
you aiming now?
LEWYS: To lose 1% body fat for my next body-
building competition.
CSM: There are a lot of online coaches and life-
style advisers out in the market already, what are
the factors that people should take into consid-
eration when hiring a personal trainer or online
coaches or maybe investing some time and mon-
ey to them?
LEWYS: What is the coach going to offer? What
exactly is involved? Have you heard any reviews
about this coach? Do you have the time to fol-
low the plan? Can you afford it? Do you really
need a coach or can you do this by yourself? Ask
as many questions as possible about the coaches
training methods. How long the plan for is and
how much involvement is the coach going to
have?
CSM: As a fitness and health enthusiast, what are
the essential exercises you have to do? Why is
that?
LEWYS: At first, stick to the compound lifts as
these are the most effective. In general, com-
pound exercises utilize multiple joints with free
weights. This means maximum muscle recruit,
high nervous-system activation, and more stim-
uli for growth, whether you’re a beginner or ad-
vanced lifter.
CSM: Do you have any gym etiquette advice for
other people?
LEWYS: Everyone has to start from somewhere.
Help as many people as possible as we all go
through the same process. Pay respect to every-
one who just goes and gives it a go.
CSM: Fact or myth? Does working out daily im-
prove one’s sexual stamina or prowess during
sexual activity? Why do you say so?
LEWYS: Yes, it does. Lifting weights will im-
prove your overall fitness as well as increas-
ing your testosterone, which increases your sex
drive.
CSM: Fact or myth? Does living a healthy life-
style keeps you happy and young? Why is that?
LEWYS: Yes. Making just a few changes in
your lifestyle can help you live longer. A recent
study found that four bad behaviors – smoking,
drinking too much, not exercising, and not eating
enough fruits and vegetables will decrease your
life span.
CSM: If you are our health ambassador and a
lifestyle advocate, how would you help promote
healthy living in school or in corporate world?

will gain from living a healthy lifestyle, exercis-
es and eating the correct food.

these, if there’s any food and beverage that you
cannot resist what would that be and why?

ble Fire whisky and Apple juice

gain weight and lean muscle? Advise to people
who want to lose weight and be sexy?

Firstly, you have to have a plan that is maintain-
able then you have to stay accountable to the plan.
If you do this then you will reap the results.
