In the past five years MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace has lost an incredible amount of weight. More than 30kg to be exact. However in a recent TV appearance the MasterChef host explained how his weight-loss wasn’t the result of a fad diet or short-term thinking. Instead, it was achieved by doing simple things consistently.
Appearing as a guest on Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, the 58-year-old told presenters Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley how he is opposed to diet culture and advised viewers wanting to shed the pounds: ‘don’t go on a diet’.
‘Don’t do something that’s really difficult that you can’t maintain,’ he said. ‘We’re logical people, right? If it’s so difficult and so uncomfortable, you won’t keep it up.’
Revealing the secret behind his recent 30kg weight loss, the former greengrocer told viewers that ‘the key’ to him maintaining a healthy weight has been eating ‘three healthy meals a day’.
Wallace also told viewers to ‘reduce the snacking’ and ‘reduce the takeaways’ and that ‘meal planning will help you eat healthily’.

In December, Wallace and his personal trainer, Danny Rai, revealed to Men’s Health UK how he built his new body, and ran us through one of his workout routines.
Rai explained how Wallace typically starts his workouts with a set of chin-ups for building his core, followed by a classic bench press, before moving on to a bird-dog row for working on his abs and back at the same time.
Despite his impressive transformation, Wallace revealed that it’s not been an easy ride. “I’ve got to be honest, I don’t love it that much,” he said. “It’s hard work.”
Nevertheless, Wallace admitted that he’s pleased with the results, particularly with how his arms look – the result, he said, of doing hundreds of tricep press-ups.
