American skier Lindsey Vonn, who once dated golfing great Tiger Woods, has already started training smartly for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Yes, smartly, because she ain't going to aim for something in terms of looking after her body which is impractical. She is also all set to witness the release of her book, Strong Is The New Beautiful.
In an interview to The Huffington Post, Vonn revealed that she hates the word 'diet'.

To a question as to why did she decide to write the book and what is her ultimate goal, Vonn replied: "I hate the word diet. All the books you see these days are about dieting and what works best — everyone's different, everyone's body is different. (The book is about) finding what makes you feel good, and it gives you background information on what you're eating so you can make the  right choices."

She also busted a few misconceptions. "As long as you have the high fat content, sometimes the sugar is totally fine. That's the thing: Everyone needs a treat," she said. However, in the course of the interview, she slipped in the fact that she works out twice a day and that she loves her chocolate. And she loves her sleep.

"I'm a big sleeper. That's how I recover, and that's how I'm able to constantly be going. Being able to do two workouts a day and still doing photo shoots and press conferences and all that stuff, it's because I sleep so much. I need ideally 10 hours a day ? normally it's eight to nine at night and then I always have a nap if I can squeeze it in,"
she said.
