Celebrity chef James Martin famously dropped three stone by cutting out fizzy drinks from his diet just a few years ago and has mastered the art of maintaining a balanced lifestyle since to keep the weight off.
While his original weight loss venture back in 2005 saw him drop a staggering five stone by following a strict diet and exercise routine, James has continued to have a more active lifestyle so he can still enjoy his homemade luxuries.
In a recent post on his Instagram page, the popular cookbook author shared a sweet rhubarb tart he had made as part of a new recipe, noting that it went down particularly well with his colleagues.

While the chef is known for using full-fat ingredients like butter and milk in his recipes, it seems that everything in moderation is the solution to maintaining a trim figure like his.
It's not just his own home cooking that James enjoys as a treat to supplement his healthier way of life. The Yorkshire-born chef also still enjoys a Friday night drink to welcome the weekend before his Saturday morning show airs.
Earlier in January he posted a one-off video ahead of the programme with a lager in hand. He said: "Hi there everybody, and cheers! Happy Friday night.

Stood against a wall in a shirt and dark wash jeans while holding a white cowboy hat, James showed off his trimmed-down silhouette - and it didn't go unnoticed.
One social media user who goes by the name @susan_maycock commented "looking good James", and another named @jenfinc added: "Great picture of you!"
Another one of James's fans (@stevedxdubai2) even went as far as saying that he is the "sexiest chef on the planet".
When it comes to keeping active outside of his cooking endeavours, James is known to enjoy life in the countryside that surrounds his Hampshire home.

While the chef makes it look effortless to maintain his trim waistline, James had previously revealed that it can be difficult for him to keep his weight consistent.
Back in 2005 when he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, the TV chef was candid about his unexpected and rapid weight loss, though he has since admitted that it takes a little more effort to continue to stay fit and healthy since turning 50.
