Masterchef’s Gregg Wallace eats ‘half a kilo’ of breakfast item to maintain five stone weight loss
by Liv Clarke · Manchester Evening NewsMasterchef host Gregg Wallace has revealed he eats “half a kilo” of a particular breakfast item each day, which means he has “no need to snack”. The star made a lifestyle change after losing a whopping five stone after being warned he was at risk of diabetes.
Speaking on an episode of The Paul Chowdury PudCast from June 12, he opened up about some of the foods he enjoys eating for breakfast. He explained that he likes a full English but also tucks into something more unconventional as he's a "proper South-East Londoner", a pot of cockles with vinegar, pepper and bread and butter, which he described as "lovely", the Express reports.
Gregg was asked if he'd switched to any other foods in the morning now that he's "gone healthy", and Gregg disclosed that he eats a surprisingly large amount of one thing in particular. Gregg said: "Ooh yeah, yoghurt and oats and honey. Yeah, yeah, yeah - but a load of it. Half a kilo. Yeah, 500g of yoghurt I can eat", with Paul then asking how he got that much in the morning.
The TV presenter said: "They come in great big pots, right. I think it's supposed to be like for a family." Paul then asked if she should be eating that much yoghurt at all. Gregg went on to say: "Listen, I'm 12 stone so I'm obviously doing something alright. So I eat 500g of normally high protein yoghurt."
He revealed that he typically adds honey or maple syrup and "loads of fruit" and it will keep him "going" until lunchtime, meaning there's "no need to snack". In June, it was reported that the broadcaster managed to shift the weight "without dieting," and instead opted to change his habits and strived to make healthy choices.
