<\/p>\nBeing surrounded by food, it’s a wonder how Gregg Wallace has managed to shed any weight after debuting his incredible new look on social media. He has left fans in awe of his transformation, dropping a whopping 4.5st over the course of a couple of years.<\/p>\n
A huge achievement, the Celebrity Masterchef presenter revealed he did it by sticking to one very simple “key” method that helped him to cut out snacking and change his life.<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old explained he now sticks to “three large, filling, healthy, balanced meals” a day to lose weight.<\/p>\n
This helped curb his appetite and the need to grab a naughty treat, admitting “the weight came off” soon after he stopped his bad habits.<\/p>\n
By eating three meals, people can spread their calories throughout the day, stopping them from getting hungry after each meal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Health experts recommend snacking on healthy foods such as certain fruits and vegetables, which keeps cravings under control until the next meal.<\/p>\n
It is essential for people looking to lose weight that they eat proper meals that are high in protein and fibre.<\/p>\n
Eating high-protein foods such as lean meats, eggs and nuts will promote satiety.<\/p>\n
Foods high in fibre like beans and spinach, slow down digestion and keep people feeling full, preventing spikes and dips in blood sugar.<\/p>\n
