CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 GAME-CHANGER ISSUE - Heather Blackburn | Page 86

CSM: How do you keep yourself educated or updat-
ed for latest trends and information in healthy living
or lifestyle?
BRITT: I’m always reading articles or books.
CSM: How important is food and nutrition to you as
a model, athlete or as an individual?
BRITT: Nutrition is a huge part of my life. If I’m not
taking care of my nutrition, everything else falls out
of place.
CSM: Describe the essential skills to be effective in
maintaining your figure or shape.
BRITT: Meal prepping and making sure my meal
plan is on point! As far as the gym goes, that’s my
antidepressant.
CSM: What are your ideas about non-organic food
versus organic?
BRITT: I’ve debated on this for so long. I’ve come
to conclusion that I like more high-quality protein.
When it comes to produce, I rather non-organic. I
feel like organic has a wax coat sometimes that isn’t
natural.
CSM: What are your views on an all-meat diet versus
a vegan diet?
BRITT: I can never be a vegan, because I was raised
by having meat with every meal. It’s all a personal
preference. If I ever became sick and I had to go veg-
an, that’s the only time I’d consider it.
CSM: What groups of food do you usually eat?
BRITT: I’m not a picky eater, AT ALL! I love food.
The majority of the time, I eat a lot of meats, veggies,
potatoes and rice.
CSM: Do you think customized meal plans are really
necessary? Why is that?
BRITT: It depends on the individual. I like custom-
ized meal plans vs macros. I’ve tried the macros ap-
proach before and I didn’t feel as if I was getting
enough nutrition in my diet. I think whatever works
for you, do it but be consistent with it.
CSM: Any fitness goals for yourself? What are you
aiming now?
BRITT: Yes. I’d like to win my pro card as natural
competitive athlete. I’d also like to be on the cover of
a fitness magazine.
CSM: There are a lot of online coaches and lifestyle
advisers out in the market already, what are the fac-
tors that people should take into consideration when
hiring a personal trainer or online coaches or maybe
investing some time and money to them?
BRITT: RESEARCH. RESEARCH. RESEARCH.
Anyone can call themselves a “coach” today. Check
out their resume and reviews. If they’re giving you
an all tilapia and asparagus diet, RUN!
CSM: As a fitness and health enthusiast, what are the
essential exercises you have to do? Why is that?
BRITT: As much as I hate cardio, it must be a huge
part of my exercise regimen. I build muscle easy, but
retain fluid easy too! To cut fat, cardio is a must for
me.
CSM: Do you have any gym etiquette advice for oth-
er people?
BRITT: Re-rack your weights in the appropriate or-
der and wipe off your sweaty equipment!
CSM: Fact or myth? Does working out daily improve
one’s sexual stamina or prowess during sexual activ-
ity? Why do you say so?
BRITT: Fact. Working out increases dopamine, which
helps to increase a good mood. Consistent trips to the
gym equal positive results with the mind and body.
When someone is feeling good about themselves, it
makes them feel sexier.
CSM: Fact or myth? Does living a healthy lifestyle
keeps you happy and young? Why is that?
BRITT: Fact. A healthy lifestyle enhances nothing
but positive effects. Stress kills, so a healthy lifestyle
helps to balance that out.
CSM: If you are our health ambassador and a life-
style advocate, how would you help promote healthy
living in school or in corporate world?
BRITT: Don’t compare yourself to others. Social
media isn’t all real either. If I could go back to when
I was 15 years old, which is when I discovered the
gym I would. I’d begin by working on myself from
the inside-out and not the outside-in. Falling in love
with myself has been one of the biggest challenges of
my life at this age. It’s important to love the inside of
yourself first and work on the outside from there.
CSM: A lot of your followers are curious to know
these, if there’s any food and beverage that you can-
not resist what would that be and why?
BRITT: Sushi. There are so many ways to make this
and the best ones are bursting with flavors. I can’t
miss out on that! Yolo! Haha!
CSM: Any advice to individuals who wants to gain
weight and lean muscle? Advise to people who want
to lose weight and be sexy?
BRITT: Don’t rush! Your brain is a muscle too. It
must be exercised just like your body. Love yourself
and make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons.
Do all of this consistently and everything else will
fall into place. Lastly, do your research and get a
coach.
