Guy Fieri is a popular figure on Food Network, known for hosting beloved shows such as ‘Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives’ and ‘Guy’s Grocery Games’. He also showcases a variety of unique and tasty dishes that make viewers eager to give them a try. Recently, fans have observed that Guy has undergone a significant weight loss of 30 pounds, sparking curiosity about his methods for achieving this remarkable feat. Guy implemented five key strategies to achieve this weight loss, which included embracing moderation, portion control, and incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts into his routine.
He Does HIIT and Rucking
HIIT workouts keep Guy in top shape. He explained to GQ how he found the workout and what impact it has on his overall fitness.
Recognizing the importance of maintaining an elevated heart rate during physical activities, Guy emphasized the significance of engaging in interval training to maximize the effectiveness of his workouts. He acknowledged his enjoyment of activities like hiking and weightlifting but understood that to see real results, he needed to push himself with exercises that would elevate his heart rate consistently. For Guy, Crossfit and HIIT training played a crucial role in his weight loss journey due to their ability to optimize workout efficiency within a limited time frame.
In addition, Guy enjoys getting his steps in while hiking or walking with a weighted vest, also known as rucking.
He Believes in Moderation
During an interview with ‘Men’s Health’, Guy emphasized the transformative power of moderation in his weight loss journey. By practicing moderation and not depriving himself of his favorite foods, he was able to achieve significant progress in slimming down. This approach allowed Guy to strike a balance between enjoying his meals and making healthier choices, ultimately contributing to his successful weight loss results.
“I think moderation is a real thing,” Guy said. “I still eat what I want to eat. But I just don’t eat as much of it.”
He Does Cold Plunges
Guy is also a fan of doing cold plunges, especially after he works out. This healthy activity helps keep his energy levels up. Plus, research shows that cold water immersion can help protect against obesity and cardiovascular disease.
“The thing about cold plunges is that you gotta get through the first 30 seconds. When I started, I hated waiting on the timer to go off. But now I breathe and get into the right mind space. The energy it gives you. It gets me fired up. I do it every day,” Guy told Men’s Health.
He Limits His Bites When Filming
Guy eats some pretty crazy foods on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives—and not all of them are super healthy. The celeb told PEOPLE that he limits his portions when filming in order to not let his health get out of whack.
“Everybody thinks I chug down the whole cheeseburger,” he said. “I’ll try two items in a restaurant, three restaurants in a day. By the time I’ve had two bites of each food, I’m full.”
He Loves Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
The food expert found ways to make healthier versions of his favorite foods. One recipe he loves is spaghetti Bolognese, swapping out pasta for spaghetti squash.
“How can something that’s so good for you taste so great? The bit of cinnamon in that Bolognese takes this to the next level… I would have loved to have had that Bolognese with bucatini,” Guy told Men’s Health. But if I have spaghetti squash instead, I know that’s 500 calories I’m not consuming. And it’s still delicious.”
