The competition continues this Wednesday evening in The Best Pastry Chef (M6). The fourth episode of the eleventh season is going to be presented to the most greedy viewers. But it is indeed always Mercotte and Cyril Lignac who had the opportunity to taste the desserts of the candidates and to feast their taste buds during the filming of the show. However, like every year, they don’t seem to gain a gram!
If we know the secret of Mercotte, who keeps an impeccable line by getting up every morning at dawn and walking 10 kilometers daily, what is that of Cyril Lignac? In 2019, in We redo the TV on RTL, he agreed to deliver the trick that allows him to no longer yo-yo with his weight. And for good reason : “After a while, when you’re caked all day, you go up, you go down, you go around in circles, you get fat“, he had been forced to see. This is why he had to resolve to adopt a very particular routine: “I always make sure to eat before tasting the cakes because if you eat them when you’re hungry, you’ll eat tons of cakes, and you’ll eat more sweet than salty. So I balance according to the schedule. Sometimes I eat a few carrots before.”
In addition, Cyril Lignac compensates for his gluttony by practicing sports and eating healthy: “I’m athletic, so I eliminate them [les kilos, NDLR] and as I have the chance to eat at the restaurant, it’s good, it’s free. (…) I regulate my diet : fish carpaccio, salads, grilled fish“, he further detailed.
Note that, in the past, the 44-year-old famous chef who recently became the father of a little Leo (born of his relationship with his discreet companion Deborah), has not always managed to maintain his diet. In 2019, during the promotion of season 8 of the Best Pastry Chefhe revealed that he had gained 4 kilos during the filming.
