The chef has recently made a change in his diet which has and opened up about the simple trick he used to beat the bulge. What did he do?
Paul managed to shape up by cutting one thing out of his diet, but he admitted he originally made the change for the sake of his health.
“It’s not so much about losing the weight as being healthy,” he told The Daily Mail of his transformation.
By cutting out alcohol, the celebrity chef noticed the pounds fall off and instead upped how much water he drank.
He told The Sun: “I don’t have to go out now, I just drink water all day. I promise. It’s helped shift a few pounds too.”
As well as changing his drinking habits, Paul has stayed fit by watching his diet and getting plenty of exercise.
To stay in control of his eating, the chef explained he will simply try to watch how many calories he eats rather than following a particular plan.
“I’m on a healthy eating spurt right now. I’m not thin but I’m on my way there,” he told The Daily Mail. “It’s not a diet. I’m just reducing my calorie intake.”
The Great British Bake Off judge said he has included cardio and weightlifting exercises in a bid to stay in shape.
“I’m seeing a personal trainer and boxing and weightlifting about three times a week.”
