James Martin Reveals Three Stone Weight Loss

Celebrity chef James Martin has revealed that his dramatic weight loss of three stone is primarily due to a diet consisting of 80% fish and a love for butter, which he recently celebrated in his cookbook 'Butter: Comforting, Delicious, Versatile'. Speaking on the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, Martin explained that his motivation to lose weight stemmed from his passion for car racing, as he struggled to get in and out of cars comfortably. His diet overhaul also involved cutting out sugary snacks like Twix bars and fizzy drinks, opting instead for healthier options and drinking 2.5 liters of water daily. Registered dietitian Kristen Smith noted that fish is a healthy choice for weight loss, being high in protein and lower in calories. Martin's health journey has been further complicated by his ongoing treatment for facial cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2018. Despite not exercising traditionally, he stays active through his work in the kitchen.
