Saturday Kitchen star Matt Tebbutt on diet U-turn
Speaking to the Express in December of last year, Matt opened up about some major dietary changes he’s made after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix in 2022.
Since his operation, Matt has been paying closer attention to his health and diet, which has led to some alterations to what he eats.
“I wanted to get a better understanding of how I’m ticking along and, yeah, I recently had one of those full body MOTs and, thankfully, that all came out well. I’m good, I’m okay, and going to keep doing what I’m doing,” he said.
‘Let’s just pace this a little better’
Matt then continued, saying: “You just sort of take stock of where you’re at, how much you’re eating, how much you’re drinking, late nights, going out, stuff like that. It did have a big effect actually, so yeah, I came out of the other side thinking, okay, let’s just pace this a little bit better,” he then added.
One food that Matt cut out was sushi after learning that it’s not “hugely healthy”.
Matt Tebbutt on fighting a ‘losing’ health battle
Earlier this year, Matt opened up about a health battle that he’s “losing”.
Speaking on Gabby Logan’s podcast, The Mid-Point, Matt spoke about how he’s fighting the aging process.
“I fight getting old. Let’s just put that out there,” he said. When asked about how he’s combating it, he said: “Well, I’m fighting it. I mean, I’m slowly losing that battle.
“But I’m fighting it like: ‘Yeah, I want to do this. Yeah, let’s do that. Let’s go to this party and then go out afterwards and then do three days on the trot at a festival’ and things like that,” he then continued.
“And I’m realising it’s quite draining at 51!”
