Gregg Wallace: 'I lost 4 stone by eating well, now you can too with my recipes'


TV’s Gregg, who has lost more than 4st, ­admits hating diets.

But he didn’t lose weight by cutting out food.

The telly host said: “I did it by filling myself up at every meal time with healthy, nutritious food.

“There is no way of exercising off a bad diet. Use your conscience as a guide – it knows when you’re eating and drinking the wrong things.

“Every one of these recipes has been scrutinised by a ­nutritionist. If you want to start the New Year leaner, take these recipes as a guide.”
