Ed Sheeran reveals he lived on diet of chicken wings during ‘fat phase’

Ed Sheeran has revealed he lived on a diet of chicken wings for a year and a half.

The music star, 33, explained that the unhealthy choice led him to pile on the pounds while he was touring in the US.

“I was in my fat phase... in America, I used to think no carbs meant no bread, no fries,” Sheeran told the Session 24 podcast.

“I was like ‘I can eat chicken wings’ and I just ate chicken wings for a year and a half. And I put on four stone.”

Sheeran went on to describe his weight-loss journey, saying that going to the gym regularly and trying to reduce portion size worked for him.
