Male model David Gandy has a healthy attitude towards food and exercise. Whenever I read or watch an interview with him, he seems balanced whether it's about food, exercise or life in general.

The Gentlemans Journal met up with Gandy to ask him some questions about how he stays in shape.

On Diets:

"The right amount of water, the right foods – not crappy, fatty processed foods. It's everything in moderation, you can eat too much fish or too much meat. I actually had mercury poisoning from tuna because it topped off the levels in my body and made me quite ill."

"People say to me, 'my God, you must not eat something', and then, 'good God, you're eating cake'. I probably eat more than most people think I might, but I'm actually a foodie and I eat a lot. I just stay away from processed foods – white pastas, white carbohydrates, high sugar content, saturated fat – but I can still eat so much because of that. People [unnecessarily] go to the extremities of something."
