Gregg Wallace has revealed that he has “no need to snack” because he eats “half a kilo” of a certain breakfast item every day.

In an unearthed episode of The Paul Chowdhry PudCast (June 12th), the MasterChef star, who lost a whopping five stone after being warned he was at risk of diabetes, opened up about some of the foods he enjoys eating for breakfast.

He explained that he likes a full English but also tucks into something more unconventional as he’s a “proper South-East Londoner”, a pot of cockles with vinegar, pepper and bread and butter, which he described as “lovely”.

Paul inquired if he’d switched to any other foods in the morning now that he’s “gone healthy”, and Gregg disclosed that he eats a surprisingly large amount of one thing in particular.

Gregg said: “Ooh yeah, yoghurt and oats and honey. Yeah, yeah, yeah – but a load of it. Half a kilo. Yeah, 500g of yoghurt I can eat”, with Paul then asking how he got that much in the morning.

The TV presenter said: “They come in great big pots, right. I think it’s supposed to be like for a family.” Paul then asked if she should be eating that much yoghurt at all.

Gregg went on to say: “Listen, I’m 12 stone so I’m obviously doing something alright. So I eat 500g of normally high protein yoghurt.”

He revealed that he typically adds honey or maple syrup and “loads of fruit” and it will keep him “going” until lunchtime, meaning there’s “no need to snack”.

In June, it was reported that the broadcaster managed to shift the weight “without dieting,” and instead opted to change his habits and strived to make healthy choices.

One of the ways he achieved this was by cutting out snacks, ultra-processed foods and takeaways. He didn’t utilise any particular plan but ensured he ate a balanced diet and cooked healthy meals each day.

On his website GreggWallace.Health, Gregg said there aren’t any foods that are banned when you’re trying to lose weight, but people should be particularly careful with snacks.

He explained: “Strict diets are hard to maintain. This is about swapping bad habits for good ones at your own pace.”

In April, it was revealed that Gregg, who at his heaviest weighed 16st 7lb, also cut out three things in particular – “fried food, sugar and booze”.

He previously told The Sun: “When I was at my biggest I was having a daily fry up, fish and chips once per week, takeaway a couple more times and drinking beer nearly every day.”
