Guy Fieri says he’s lost 30 pounds since 2020 thanks to a regimen of weighted vest training, intermittent fasting and curbing his notorious appetite.
The celebrity chef, 56, speaks with Men’s healthsaid his personal trainer Scott Butler put him on a program that included the above methods as well as practices such as rucking, using a sauna and a cold plunge.
The Columbus, Ohio, resident said he gained momentum during the process: “When I started thinking about that more seriously, the amount of food I ate and the amount of exercise, it really changed the whole thing.
“It wasn’t as intense as you might think…I’m not a big breakfast fan,” he said.
The TV personality, father of sons Hunter, 27, and Ryder, 18, with husband Lori, 52, said 15 minutes in the sauna and three cold plunges are “a daily reset” that helps him stay on task.

Rucking is a practice in which a person walks or runs wearing a weighted backpack or vest; Fieri said he does this several times a week in the hills around his home.
In the interview, Fieri was observed preparing a healthy salad, noting that “you don’t need as much dressing” as long as the ingredients provide the right flavor.
According to the outlet, he paired the item with lean turkey bolognese and shredded spaghetti squash.
“How can something that is so good for you taste so good?” Fieri said. ‘The little bit of cinnamon in that Bolognese takes it to the next level.’
Fieri’s better health comes as his career keeps him steadily busy with shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Guy’s Grocery Games, while keeping an eye on the menus of the 85 restaurants he owns.
The Food Network personality noted a lesson he learned while losing weight: “I think moderation is a real thing.”
