Tom Aikens Ripped Michelin Starred Chef: Forget Meal Prep, Do This InsteadDefault
from Men’s Health: Built For Life · host Men's Health UK
Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens joins Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey to talk discipline, endurance and why most blokes are overcomplicating their nutrition. . We break down how years of 14-hour kitchen shifts and knee surgery pushed him towards daily mobility work, ultramarathons and a ruthlessly consistent routine. Tom opens up about desert racing in brutal heat, fuelling without gels, and the mindset required to stay lean and strong in a high-stress profession. . Along the way, we get into why traditional meal prep might be missing the point, how to make simple protein-and-carb meals actually taste good, and why performance in the kitchen – and in life – starts with looking after your body first. .
