When you’re diagnosed you of course don’t realise that sugar is everywhere. I used to drink fresh orange juice in the morning, which is like drinking two pounds of sugar. Now I drink coconut water, and I don’t get cravings. Now I pick items up in the supermarket and I look how much sugar the food contains. If it contains 54 percent sugar, for example, then I put it back. On a daily basis, I do this now, whereas before I didn’t.
He also incorporated light exercise into his weekly routine. Because he loathes the gym, he took to walking daily. And that’s all there is to Christopher Biggins’ weight loss. At least that’s all he has revealed.
