James Martin lost a huge five stone at one point in his life thanks to diet and a rigorous exercise regime. Since then, his weight has fluctuated but he managed to shed the pounds again and maintain his ideal weight by watching what he ate.

James Martin has been open about his weight in the past, revealing how much he has lost and how he did it.

The chef is currently in good shape and maintains his slim frame by going for regular walks and eating well.

In a recent Instagram post, James shared a picture of himself and his dog Cooper, who he often takes out for walks, and fans flooded the comments with praise about how good he looked.

User @mightymidget1957 said: “Looking hot again James.”

“It’s the ready-made food, it’s the packet food, the hidden salt, hidden fat – that’s the problem in this country.

“It’s not the butter in a butter block, or butter you put on your toast.

“It’s the fact that not as many people cook in the UK as they do in France or Italy or Spain.”

Back in 2018, James shed a few pounds again after noticing he had put on a little of the weight he had previously lost.

He started to notice his appearance changing on TV, and received cruel comments about his weight online.

“I looked on social media and every comment was about me being fat,” he told the Sun at the time.

“So, I lost a stone and a half.”

When speaking to Mail Online, he added: “I just think it’s a lifestyle thing and also looking at yourself on TV.

“Before you used to watch TV on a small one and now they’re massive.”
