Lithuanian Singer G. Vagelis Adheres to Strict Diet for Concerts, Shares Childhood Memories

Lithuanian artist G. Vagelis is adhering to strict dietary rules as he prepares for upcoming concert tours, emphasizing the importance of physical readiness and endurance. He revealed that his approach to food has significantly changed, with home cooking now holding a different meaning.

“

I recently started counting and watching what I eat very carefully. I have scales at home and weigh everything. We've started preparing for very big concerts, and I want to be in the best possible shape. To achieve that, you need to count everything.

His chosen dish of pasta and shrimp aligns perfectly with his current nutrition plan, which prioritizes high protein and carbohydrates with minimal fat. "I exercise and move a lot, so the most important thing for me is to have a lot of protein and a lot of carbohydrates, and the least amount of fat. So today we'll try to cook an athlete's lunch or dinner," he explained with a smile.

Vagelis attributes his love for cooking to his family, particularly his mother, who was the main chef at home, while his father prepared weekend breakfasts. He now cooks at home more often to better track his calorie and nutrient intake, finding it difficult to do so when eating out.

It's terribly difficult to eat out, you can't just weigh your food in a restaurant.

Reflecting on his childhood, Vagelis fondly recalled his mother's traditional dishes, especially the weekly pork chops with fries. He also reminisced about his early musical endeavors, performing exclusively for his mother in his room as a child. Currently, he values the support of his older brother, who acts as an "invisible gray cardinal" managing career logistics while Vagelis is in the spotlight.

We used to eat pork chops at home every week, and not just once. For me, nothing is more childlike, more familiar, and at the same time so nutritious.
