Guy Fieri’s new look didn’t happen overnight. In an interview with Men’s Health, the chef revealed he had been working on his health since 2020 and began by working with a trainer. He incorporated high-intensity interval training, hiking uphill with a weighted vest, and using a sauna, and following it up with a cold plunge. He also started intermittent fasting, only eating between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. “It wasn’t as gnarly as you might think. I’m not a big breakfast fan,” Fieri stated. “I still eat what I want to eat. But I just don’t eat as much of it,” he added.
Still, the food-lover doesn’t deprive himself of yummy eats, and he isn’t all about the greasy food viewers see him eat on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” He shared with GQ, “People always think that I must just eat deep-fried pizzas and cheeseburgers for lunch but I’m a big salad fan, big sushi fan, and Thai food fan.” He added, “I typically cook every meal in the home. I don’t eat out a lot because I’m usually on the road eating out. When I’m home, I cook.” Fieri is a big family guy and loves to cook for his sons, Hunter and Ryder, who are all grown up and love food just as much as he does. They were also the motivation he needed to get fit.
