Dave Myers is one half of the Hairy Bikers duo with Si King, 50. He has achieved an impressive weight loss in the past year.
Dave went from 19 stone to less than 15 stone in the past 12 months, he told The Mirror in June.
This is an incredible weight loss of over four stone from Dave’s 6ft tall frame.
“I am not morbidly obese now. I might feel like a male Adonis if I get to 14st,” he told the publication.
Revealing how he managed to drop the weight so quickly, he said: “I always lose weight by cutting all the carbs out.
He also used the popular weight loss method of counting calories to drop the weight, as well as cutting out alcohol.
“I just calorie count and knock the booze on the head and then watch the scales to see the weight come off.”
“Now I’ve been very healthy,” he added.
Dave also revealed his waist size was previously 49 inches, in an interview with Irish Times earlier this year.
Both Dave and his Hairy Bikers partner Si, whose weight peaked at almost 20 stone, were once dangerously overweight.
“We were starting to get old before our time,” he told the publication.
“I’m 10 years older than Kingy, but we’d both begun to shuffle, the knees were sore.”
The Hairy Bikers’ weight loss of three stone each was documented back in 2012.
Their latest book, The Hairy Dieters Make It Easy, details their new diet-friendly recipes.
Another example of a chef losing weight is Gordon Ramsay’s weight loss.

Gordon Ramsay, 51, achieved a weight loss of more than four stone after tipping the scales at 18st in 2000.
The 6ft 2 British celebrity chef and author of Fit Food now weighs just 13st 10lb.
But how did Gordon lose the weight? He is said to have limited a common food group in order to do it.
Asked how he dropped the stones, he said: “No milk. Just because it’s sluggish.”
“Dropping milk and cheese has made a massive difference,” he said, speaking to the Daily Mail.
