Danny Dyer loses weight by eating and drinking whatever he wants.
Danny Dyer has revealed he sometimes had a beer for breakfast
The 46-year-old TV star, who is best known for his role as Mick Carter in 'EastEnders', explained that he lost a stone through intermittent fasting, though occasionally started the day with a pint.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I’ve lost about a stone. For eight hours I can eat and drink what I want as long as I fast for 16 hours and drink water too.
"People have come up to me and said it doesn’t work for them and I tell them they must be cheating.
"Ideally, you should break your fast with something healthy. Sometimes for me that has been a pint of Stella, which isn’t ideal, but needs must."
The actor, who revealed he had started the diet in April 2023, is due to appear in 'The Great British Bake Off Stand Up To Cancer' special alongside other guests like Gabby Logan, Fern Brady and Mel B, and insisted he didn’t struggle to stick to his diet because his is "more of a savoury man".
He previously explained: "I am more of a savoury man to be honest. I don't mind a bit of chocolate now and then, but I am not really a sweet man. So being in the tent doesn’t really affect my fasting.
"I did break my fast on day one as I needed to eat some breakfast. I am not really a breakfast man, but I needed some energy. Usually I fast until maybe about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. So that'd be my first sort of meal. Sometimes I hang on until dinner time. It does work for me."
Danny then emphasised he wasn't nervous to take part in the Channel 4 show, but admitted he struggled in the kitchen because he was "very tired and very hungover".
He said: "I'm definitely not nervous. I have done some really scary things in my time. So this wasn't a nerve-wracking thing.
"You always want to give a good account of yourself and hopefully learn a few things on the way. But no, I wasn’t nervous, just very tired, very hungover.
"I am 46 now and got home at half three and up again at half six, so you can imagine baking that showstopper when you are really tired. It’s been a struggle with the old concentration. My brain just needs to rest, but that is the tricky part."
