James Martin weight loss: From 'self-conscious' processed foodie to oily fish fanatic

“I no longer stuff my face with really bad things such as takeaway pizza, Mars bars and fizzy soft drinks, which I used to have tons of during my working day, just like almost every other chef in the country.

“Now I eat fish twice a week as well as loads of vegetables and fresh fruit.”

Oily fish is a great source of protein, which keeps the body fuller for longer.

Additionally, Omega 3 fatty acids are known to help factors such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, with James sharing that heart disease runs in his family.

The chef even fronted a campaign to see the nation eat more oily fish: “Heart disease is actually preventable.”
