How much weight did Tom Kerridge lose?
Tom lost an incredible 12 stone thanks to a healthier lifestyle.
He devised his diet after realising he was obese when he weighed in at almost 30 stone.
Tom now weighs just under 18 stone and previously opened up about how ditching sugar was "absolutely horrible".
In order to drop the pounds, the celeb chef cut down his carb intake and stopped drinking alcohol entirely.
He said: "In our business, it becomes an obsession to party, play hard, drink hard, eat rubbish food.
"You start drinking after the last bill’s been paid and then it will go right through until two or three in the morning.
"It’s a release from the pressures of working hard. But there’s a point where you get fed up. You think, 'I’ve got to make a change'."
