In recent years, Tom Kerridge lost 12 stone with a simple change to his diet.
It consists of eating food that boosts your levels of the “happy hormone” so the diet is much easier to follow.
“It’s impossible to lose weight and keep the weight off for good if you don’t enjoy what you’re eating,” the chef said.
Tom admitted to drinking 15 pints every night, which contributed to his weight gain.
The chef realised that could severely affect his life and possibly increase the risk of early death so he decided to quit drinking and add exercise to his daily routine.

In terms of healthy eating during the festivities, Tom explained his best tip to avoid gaining weight is “finding that balance”.
“If you have a couple of days of eating excessively and having some naughty chocolates, it just means you’ve got to work harder in the gym for the next couple of days!” he told Express.co.uk.
The chef has created a range of Christmas canapés matched with the different personality types for Carr’s.
Tom revealed what would be his own canapé based on his personality.
He explained: “Out of the different flavours I would choose the Extrovert canape, the beef tartare with caviar, juniper, chestnuts and horseradish cream on a Large Carr’s Table Water.
“I’m a big fan of beef tartare and really like those big bold flavours, I think they are delicious.”
He continued: “I’m probably a cross between the Extrovert and the Adventurous personalities.
“I love both of those flavours.
“Strong, quite powerful flavours and I’m not scared of trying anything new. So I’m probably the Adventurous one.”
The chef also recommended his favourite healthy canapé option for Christmas.
“The Achiever canape sits here quite nicely, that’s the citrus cured mackerel with beetroot slaw, on a Carr’s Melts Biscuit.
“If you’re looking for a healthier lifestyle but still packed full of flavour, the cured fish of the Achiever canape is a really good one,” he said.
