Tom Kerridge, 44, is a famous television chef and pub owner.
He has undergone a drastic weight loss in recent years.
Once weighing in at 30 stone, Tom has dropped 12 stone over the years.
The 6ft 3in chef now looks much slimmer than he used to and weighs just 18 stone.
So how did he do it? The chef made a number of lifestyle changes in order to lose the weight.
It all started around Tom’s 40th birthday when he decided to take measures to improve his health.
“Say we live to 80. Well, I thought, I’m halfway there,” he told the Sunday Times.
“And then, I thought … I’m not going to get there. If I’m like this, I’m not going to make it.”
A daily swimming habit has helped Tom to lose the drastic amount of weight.
“My alarm wakes me up at 6.15 every morning and I go to the swimming pool at a hotel up the road,” he told The Telegraph.
“On a busy day I swim a kilometre, on a relaxed one I’ll do a mile.”
While the daily exercise was key to Tom’s weight loss, he also had another couple of tricks up his sleeve.
The first involved giving up alcohol – which is known for being typically high in calories.
“I own pubs and, you know, I’m quite good at tasting,” he told Radio Times.
“So I knocked all booze on the head. Stopped drinking, went completely teetotal.”
He also became much more aware of the carbohydrates he was eating.
“Carbs are a big thing,” he explained to the publication. “The more you understand it and the more you look into it, you see that there are so many carbohydrates involved in sugar as well.”
Another example of a chef losing weight is Jamie Oliver’s weight loss. Jamie is the British chef who rose to fame as the ‘naked chef’.
The father-of-five from Clavering has undergone a transformation in recent years.
On his own website, Jamieoliver.com, the chef has posted his top 10 easy healthy tips to live by. The chef writes: “Fill your diet with a wide range of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, pulses, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and naturally low fat dairy foods.
