Since adopting his new lifestyle, Gregg revealed that he practices everything in moderation and still enjoys a pint of beer when he feels like it.
He said: ‘When we slip up we tend to chuck it all in, but that’s not the way. You’re going to slip up. You’re going to go to the pub, drink too much and get a kebab on the way home.
‘There is no way I’m going through the week without a pint of beer. But I’m careful most of the time and here I am, as fit as a butcher’s dog.’
He also shunned dieting solutions such as the 5:2 fasting route, branding them ‘uncomfortable’ and ‘not sustainable’.
