I dont put weight on because I always exercise, even at Christmas. I am like a machine I never stop! I have made the mistake of asking Fred Sirieix how he sheds his Christmas pounds. As a French foodie who eats his way around the world in Road Trip with Gordon Ramsey and Gino DAcampo, I thought hed have secrets for offsetting the Celebrations, but I have clearly made an error in judgement.

I turn to Gino, who advocates moderation. I dont think they understand that Christmas is code for unbridled gluttony. Ive been getting through two tubs of brandy cream to one box of mince pies, twice a week, since I opened my advent calendar. This is no time for moderation.

Having previously asked jockeys how they stay thin at Christmas (Hint: sweating in a boiling bath),Id hoped the nations most celebrated chefs might be more on my wavelength.

Great British Menu judge Tom Aikens is opening his restaurant Muse this month, but hes still found time to get stuck in over Christmas. Im a bit of a fitness freak, so I generally dont eat a lot of desserts, but I always look forward to Christmas pudding and I make a nice rum sauce to go with it! says Tom.

The Michelin star chef has run the Marathon de Sables, so Im unsurprised by his solution for shifting the festive flab. Running or cycling, depending on your knees, but definitely something physical, says Tom, who adds cheerily: I exercise every day, so Im quite fortunate in that I can stuff my face without putting any weight on!

Im getting fatter by the day, and my beds about to collapse. Im on the brink of despair when I recall I have a kindred spirit in Master Patissiere Eric Lanlard whoreveals hes eaten six Christmas dinners already. Im a big fan of turkey, so I cant say no Im going to grow a turkey neck by the end of Christmas.

I knew I liked Eric. But how will he shift the weight in the New Year?Its getting more and more difficult, says the man whos made a wedding cake for Elizabeth Hurley, and a birthday cake for the late Queen Mother.

Ive booked a Personal Trainer for 3rd January because I need to get my arse kicked! I will do fasted cardio on the Assault Bike. Thats a nasty piece of equipment. You come back from the gym sweating, feeling like youve been assaulted, and you realise, thats why I wasnt losing weight before! Its insane, and you really notice the difference if you do it with an empty stomach.

Whats this about fasting? So we start in the kitchen at 6am, then I escape for an hour at eight, to go to the gym. Ill eat for the first time at around 3pm, then have dinner at 7.30pm. One day Ill eat fish, another day will be vegetarian. Ill eat a lot of greens and pulses.

Eric plans to endure this regime for at least a month. Last time I did it for over two months it worked really well! Is there any reprieve? At the weekend Ill have a cheeky Sunday roast!

Aldo Zilli won Celebrity Fit Club, losing over 15kg, so I reckon he knows a thing or two. Two weeks before Christmas, I do my pescatarian, dairy-free diet, and stay away from alcohol, then the day before Christmas Eve, we start the party! says the restauranteur whos fed Naomi Campbell and Madonna.

Whats on the menu? Pasta, pizza, Mozzarella cheese, Burrata all the things I love! Ill indulge in a great bottle of Tignanello or Ornellaia something red and expensive, because my doctor said to me: If youre going to drink, make sure you drink good stuff.

How are we burning off the Burrata? I have a party to use up everything left over from Christmas, then bang on 1st January I go back to healthy eating and exercising three times a week, either at the gym or running with my dogs. Its my birthday on 16th January, so Ill be good until then.

A familiar face on Saturday Kitchen, Theo Randall confesses to eating an entire Panettone over Christmas. I cant stop eating it! As soon as I open it, I start taking chunks. I wrap it back up, then five minutes later Im unwrapping it to take another piece its absolutely addictive.

I think Theo can join the Epicurean Christmas Club Im launching with Eric Lanlard I just need to check his position on mince pies. I love a mince pie! says Theo, who received a Michelin star during his time at The River Caf. My mum makes the best mince pies, and as a kid, I always made the brandy butter. I like to take the top off the mince pie when its nice and warm, and put a good dollop of brandy butter inside, then put the lid back on its delicious.

Yup, Theos in. How are we getting skinny again in the New Year? Eat loads of vegetables greens are so good for you. I make a minestrone soup thats delicious, and very hearty eat things like that and youll shed the pounds.

Any other advice? Give away the leftover chocolate biscuits you dont need them. Reduce your portions, dont put sugar in your tea, and ditch spirits with mixers. Just drink wine I think wines better for you!

Thumbs up for wine, Theo! OK, over to you Jean-Christophe Novelli.Christmas is probably the only time my wife and I take it easy, says the former Hells Kitchen Head Chef, whos been awarded four Michelin stars. What we most love doing is eating. I enjoy a good cheese, and a nice piece of bread.

Fast forward to January how are we fixing the waistband situation? We eat a lot less. In the morning, a banana, and coffee without milk, because together they cause your stomach to bloat. No carbs after 3pm, and we wont mix proteins and carbs, because the two dont match in your stomach they make you bloated!

I like the idea that Im not really fat, Im just bloated. Anything else I should know? Once a week, starve yourself. Have a good breakfast, and when youre hungry, drink sparkling water to fill you up. Hold out until lunchtime the next day sometimes even dinner time. Then have something light liquid if possible, says Jean-Christophe clarifying that this liquid dinner does not have the same connotations as a liquid lunch. Avoid alcohol, of course! Ah, bien sur!
