Yahoo News Gregg Wallace lost 5 stone by cutting out 3 foods and no diet or gym
Gregg Wallace decided to make a big change to his lifestyle in a bid to lose weight when, at nearly 17 stone, his doctor warned he was at risk of diabetes. The Masterchef star explained that he lost five stone "without dieting," by ditching his bad habits and making healthier choices each day.
This included saying goodbye to snacks, ultra-processed foods and takeaways. Although not following a specific diet plan, he made sure he was eating a balanced and varied diet, with healthy meals cooked at home every day.
Experts at Scientific American have explained this, saying: "Research has tied ultra-processed food consumption to a slew of health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes." Diabetes.org.uk added to this, pointing out how takeaways "contain a lot of saturated fat, which can increase your bad cholesterol levels, which increases your risk of heart problems".

On his website GreggWallace.Health, the presenter explained that no foods are banned when trying to lose weight, but dieters should be careful with snacks. He said: "Strict diets are hard to maintain. This is about swapping bad habits for good ones at your own pace."
According to Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, snacking can lead to "unwanted weight gain if portions or frequency of snacking is too much, adding excess calories".
Therefore, it's recommended slimmers opt for healthy snacks, such as carrots with hummus, nuts, a hard-boiled egg or a piece of fruit, reports the Express.
Adele, who shed the pounds with advice from Gregg Wallace, credits her transformation to following his advice: "Having seen the amazing transformation of Gregg himself, and through the first lockdown I was following a lot of his recipes from Instagram and was really enjoying them. I know I needed to change my way of life for the better and wanted to try something new."
She highlights that GreggWallace. Health is more about lifestyle than diet, stating, "It teaches you about making better choices and that you don't have to be so strict on yourself or beat yourself up if you have a rough day or week."
Adele elaborates on how the program has impacted her, saying, "It has taught me how to make better life choice when making meals, and also when going out being mindful about the items on the menu and still being able to enjoy myself."
