Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay adheres to a strict diet and employs a clever strategy to avoid indulging too much in the delectable dishes he prepares in his restaurants. As many strive to maintain their New Year’s resolutions, including reducing alcohol consumption and exercising, Gordon Ramsay will simply continue following his usual daily routine.
The TV personality, who has lived in Cornwall since 2015, is known for his exceptionally high standards in his award-winning restaurants and he applies the same level of discipline to his personal life, particularly his health. At 58-years-old, Gordon Ramsay’s lean and muscular physique makes him appear much younger, and he regularly participates in marathons and Ironman triathlons, swimming, cycling and running long distances.
A well-balanced diet is essential for maintaining fitness, and the father of six, who is married to Tana, has disclosed his daily eating habits to keep his weight in check. In an interview with Jason Fox from SAS: Who Dares Wins for Men’s Health, Gordon Ramsay shared his dietary secrets.
Jason revealed that during intense training periods and clean eating, he forces himself to consume “boring” food, so he sought the chef’s advice on how to make his diet more engaging
“Good food doesn’t have to be boring food and healthy food never has to be fad food. 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,” said Gordon about his own culinary strategies for enhancing flavour, reports the Mirror.
He then said that his daily diet that helps him maintain his lean figure: “I love eating. 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.”
