Richard Madrid revealed how he stays slim at the age of 65, thanks to a very simple diet trick.
A host at Good Morning Britain revealed how this simple hack helped him lose three stones after gaining weight during a TV break.
In an episode of the ITV show this morning, Richard and his co-host Kate Garraway were discussing a new law that would come into force on Wednesday, April 6. This means that large cafes and restaurants need to include calorie information on their menus.
It affects the food business, which employs more than 250 people.
Introducing the discussion, Richard revealed that a simple calorie count allows him to maintain his trim physique.
He said: “When I quit TV every day due to my mistake, full disclosure here [Judy Finnigan] A few years ago, I actually took it out of the box for about two years, took a nice long rest, and laid three stones for two and a half years.
“I lost it in calorie counting, so I’m only talking from my personal experience, it worked for me.”
However, in this debate, journalist and broadcaster Ateh Jewel argued that the steps to combat the problem of obesity were not very helpful.
“For me, it’s like putting plaster on an exploding dam,” she said.
Dr. Hilary Jones argued that counting calories was “useful,” but warned that “finishing everything, not everything” for weight loss.
Kate added that the calorie count of certain foods is often “shocked”, citing the example of selfish chicken katsu curry being “actually double the calories” of McDonald’s “huge diet.” I did.
Later, Richard revealed that he reduced certain foods after learning that he wasn’t as healthy as the first food.
“I agree with Kate. Calorie counting is very amazing and can help with your choice,” he said.
“I heard Steve Allen, a very funny LBCDJ who has an early breakfast show this morning. He said he thought pita bread was very healthy.
“It’s full of calories. In exactly the same experience, I reduced pita bread.”
Viewers at home were shocked by this revelation.
One person said on Twitter: “Currently, pita bread is off the menu. It has 275 calories per 100g. @ richardm56 Why is it so innocent looking so high in calories? “
However, not everyone is convinced that displaying calories in the menu will help people make healthy choices.
In a GMB poll, 82% say that menu calories do not address the problem of obesity.
Next, Richard asked Dr. Hillary about the number of calories in McDonald’s cheeseburger and revealed that it was only 300 calories.
“Not so many,” surprised Richard.
But his reaction didn’t work very well for some viewers.
“A nice little ad from there @ richardm56 Advertise mc burger as low calorie !!! ”One fan vented. “What about salt and sugar content … Think before you talk @ richardm56 And stop trying to go down with the kids !!!!!
Despite the fierce reaction on Twitter, Richard concludes the debate. “Well, like a balanced diet, it was a balanced conversation.”
“And calorie-free,” Kate said.
