Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, known for his culinary prowess and demanding personality, maintains a strict diet and fitness regimen to stay in shape. He shares his daily eating habits, workout routine, and the motivations behind his healthy lifestyle choices.
TV chef Gordon Ramsay is renowned for his strict diet and clever strategies to avoid indulging in the mouth-watering dishes he creates in his restaurants. As many embark on New Year's resolutions, which often involve reducing alcohol consumption or shedding a few pounds, Gordon adheres to his usual daily routine. The TV personality is famous for his high standards in his award-winning restaurants, but he applies the same discipline to his personal life, particularly when it comes to his health.
At 58, his fit, muscular body resembles that of a much younger man, and he regularly participates in marathons, Iron Man competitions, and triathlons. Diet plays a crucial role in maintaining fitness, and the father of six, married to Tana, has shared his daily eating habits to keep the weight off. He sat down with Jason Fox from SAS: Who Dares Wins for a Men's Health Interview. Jason revealed that during intense training periods, he forces himself to eat 'boring' food and sought tips from the chef on how to make his diet more exciting. 'Good food doesn't have to be boring food and healthy food never has to be fad food,' he shared with his pal before diving into his secret culinary tips. 'Whether it's having a chilli or whether it's the most amazing spice, I'll always make something delicious out of pretty plain, basic food,' reports the Mirror. He later revealed his daily diet that keeps him looking svelte. 'I love eating,' he said. 'Protein shake in the morning, scrambled eggs for lunch, and then something poached for dinner, whether it's poached chicken or fish. We don't do lots of salads but it's finding that balance.' To Jason, who sticks to boiled chicken while dieting, he suggested adding thinly sliced vegetables before poaching it to enhance the flavour. And when it comes to avoiding the tantalizing fare at his own restaurants? It's all about stern self-control, he said. 'It's painful because you sit there like the green-eyed monster, desperate to devour that whole f*****g plate,' he admitted. 'I'll discipline myself to two mouthfuls and then I get the f*** out of that plate. It pains me but I know if I eat a third, fourth, fifth, that's it - you know, it's game over.' Gordon also revealed that he had a wake-up call when he turned 40. 'I had no time. I was seven days a week, restaurants opening all over the place, Michelin stars coming out my a*se and all of a sudden my life got consumed,' he confessed. 'So I took a good look at myself and I realised I was overweight, out of control and I'd forgotten my time. I'd forgotten the most important part of my day and that was that 90 minute session, five days a week to myself.' Now, he makes sure to exercise four or five times a week, combining running, rowing, swimming, cycling and weights. He increases his workouts and extends sessions during quieter work periods so he can 'bank' it for busier times. His family is his motivation to maintain his healthy lifestyle. His youngest two sons wake him up at 5.30am for a workout, but he's also driven by the memory of his father, Gordon Snr, and brother Ronnie. His father, who loved fried food and struggled with alcoholism, passed away in 1997 just before he was due to have a heart bypass. Gordon acknowledges that he could face the same fate unless he remains disciplined. Meanwhile, Gordon's brother struggles with drug addiction, a topic Gordon has openly discussed before. The siblings shared a humble upbringing in a small council house, where they even bunked together, and Gordon is aware that their lives could have easily been reversed, given their mere 15-month age gap. 'Ronnie could have been me and I could have been Ronnie and so I think reminding yourself constantly you know there's a backdrop, you know there is a downside, staying on resilience and dealing with adversity ,' he reflected.
