JAKARTA - Singer Ed Sheeran finally opened up about the secret behind his drastic weight. The singer of the song "Shape of You" managed to lose up to 32 kilograms of weight. Apparently, the key is just diet and regular exercise.

Ed Sheeran admitted that he had gained about 25 kilograms due to his 1.5 years of dietary addiction to chicken wings or chicken wings. Every day, he eats the wings of fried chicken flour. Until finally, he realized that the habit was not healthy.

"At that time I was in the fat phase. In America, I thought 'no carbo' just didn't eat bread or French fries. So, I thought, 'Ah, I can eat chicken wings,' and for real, I've been eating chicken wings for a year and a half. My weight is up 25 kg," he said in the podcast Session 24, quoted from The Sun page.

After successfully losing weight in 2020, Ed managed to maintain his ideal weight for the last four years.

"I'm really easy to get fat, and what I found was quite diligent in going to the gym and arranging the portion of eating," he said.

"I don't have the 'stop' button when it comes to eating. If there is one food in front of my eyes, the 'stop' button is there. So, if I have eaten one, I won't think about making more and more messages. But if everything is in front of me, I will finish it all," he continued.

This is not the first time Ed has succeeded in losing weight drastically. In 2017, he also successfully cut his weight to more than ten kilos by stopping drinking alcohol and reducing carbohydrates.

At that time, he told radio Total Access that his wife, Cherry, suggested a short exercise of 10 minutes to burn fat. Then, coupled with interval training (HIIT), which helped Ed reach a weight of about 73 kilos.

In 2019, Ed had confided in The Sun about the malicious comments he constantly received from haters on social media. At that time, Ed was called "gendut" and "bulk" by an unknown netizen. This is what makes Ed have to lose weight.

When he was fat, Ed admitted that he had weighed 101 kg. He admitted that netizens' blasphemy made him decide to stop playing the X application (formerly Twitter) in 2017.

"I've never been insecure, but people have shown that. That made me think about it," he said.

"All of that comes from someone else's sense of insecurity. There are so many people who have things that make them not confident. So they feel better if they show the shortcomings of others. Because, half of the people who say I am fat, maybe they themselves are fat too," he continued.

Fully supported by his wife, Ed began to undergo a strict diet and sporting programs to get fit.

"My problem is, I like to go to bars, eat sausages andUNCH potatoes, pair, eat a lot of beer. Then I never exercise. My friends used to call me 'two-srving egg'. When I tour, it's easy to drink beer every day because there are always people who come to visit," he explained.

"I had to work really hard during the tour. Now it's hard I'm 76 kilos. I'm starting to run. I've also started to like cycling," he continued.
