Karl Lagerfeld finds it easier to stay slim

Karl lost oodles of weight 10 years ago after switching to a strict diet of steamed vegetables and Diet Coke.

He said he would not go back to being on the heavier side of the weighing scale.

"No cheese, no butter, nothing. But I am perfectly happy with that. My chefs are great, so it tastes beautiful,"Karl told instyle.com.

"People who are obsessed with exercise, they are brainwashed. It is a bore.

People exercise because they eat a lot. I don't eat that much so I don't have a lot to get rid of," Karl said.

When it comes to relaxing, he does not like to travel.

Karl said, "It is not an adventure anymore. Everything is made to the taste of the tourist. I am not a holiday person. I prepare the collections; I read. I am not on a boat in the sun."
