OHMYGOSSIP — James ‘Arg’ Argent has returned to eating “solid foods” after dropping five stone.
The 33-year-old TV star underwent surgery to have a gastric band fitted in April after he hit 27 stone – but Arg insists he is now in control of his diet and is ready to return to full meals.
Writing on Instagram, he said: “Back on solid foods I’m Delighted with the results, 5 1/2 Stone weight loss so far! Thanks to the team @wearetransform who have been guiding me on the how to integrate solids back into my diet. I’m aiming to stick to nutritionally packed foods as part of a well balanced diet to help me reach my weight loss goals (sic)”
Arg piled on the pounds in lockdown when he stopped exercising and swapped drink and drugs for fast food.
He previously said: “It felt horrible, I was always extremely uncomfortable, I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror. It felt depressing and it just wasn’t me. Now I’m starting to feel like myself again and I’m excited about what the future is going to bring.
“It was scary being 27 stone … It was serious, doctors were telling me how dangerous it was … I knew it was something I had to address pretty quickly.”
Arg also revealed that his fame left him feeling embarrassed over his weight and he refused to leave the house in fear someone would snap a picture of him.
He explained: “It can be a lot of pressure … There were times when I was at my biggest I did feel uncomfortable about leaving the house and sometimes I’d wait until it was dark before leaving the house because I’d be conscious about having pictures taken of me…
“Now I’m in a place where I’m on this journey, I’m losing weight gradually and accepting the way I look now.”
