The celebrity chef just revealed his secret to dropping 26 pounds and, of course, it had to do with his diet, but it’s probably not what you’re thinking. “I didn’t do it through not eating,” he told the Radio Times. I ate a lot, more than I was used to.”
Some of Oliver’s practical tips? “I pushed meat down, pushed veggie up, got more sleep and more movement,” he explained.
The 46-year-old also revealed the surprising new veggie he added to his meals. “I thought seaweed was hippy, globetrotting stuff but our ancestors ate seaweed,” he shared. “It has got a load of iodine and is the most nutritious vegetable in the world.” Oliver also snacked on nuts and cut down his alcohol consumption, explaining, “I’m not telling you what to do, but my rhythm now is only to drink at the weekend.”
