Throughout his career, Gordon Ramsay has regularly appeared on screens to show off his impressive cooking skills. The Scottish chef is a restaurateur, food critic, writer and television personality who has worked on shows including Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen and Masterchef. Over the last 20 years, he has also written 26 books sharing everything from his cooking tips to personal stories. Off the screen, the TV star has stayed busy and managed to slim down by an astounding 3st 8lb.
What did he do?
The TV chef opened up to reveal he slimmed down from 19st 4lb to a lean 15st 10lb with a specific diet plan.
When speaking to the Today Show, he said: “I’m very good now at eating five times day, but small amounts as opposed to big breakfast, big lunch and big dinner.”
By changing his portion sizes and how often he would eat, Gordon managed to trim his waistline and he posted online an example of when he ate.
In a post on Reddit, he said: “I don’t really sit down and do lunch. I certainly don’t sit down and eat dinner.
“There’s nothing worse than eating dinner at 5.30 and then having to get up and cook for three hours.”
Not only did the chef find he had more energy, following this plan helped him transform his body.
He added: “I like to keep on my toes and eat small bits. Almost like in Hong Kong – four or five times a day, small bowls of food.”
Gordon has used another social media accounts, Instagram, to give fans updates on the exercise routine he follows to keep fit.
He recently used the platform to document the training regime he followed to complete the physically demanding triathlon, Ironman.
