Ed Sheeran, who is currently one of the most famous singers in the world, once lived a very unhealthy lifestyle, with poor eating habits and lack of physical activity causing him to weigh 15-and-a-half stone (98kg). Talking about his “fat phase” during a recent chat on the Session 24 podcast, Ed revealed he ate chicken wings for a year and a half, thinking it was a no-carb diet. “I was in my fat phase, in America I thought no carb meant no bread or fries. I thought ‘I can eat chicken wings’ and I ate only chicken wings for a year and a half. And I gained 4 stone (25.4kg),” Ed said, reports the Mirror.
Ed revealed that he gains a lot of weight. Reflecting on his eating habits, he said, “I don’t have an off switch. If I have one thing to eat, there’s an off switch. Like if I have that one, I’m not like I have to order another and then another. If everything is in front of me I’ll eat it.”

In an interview with The Sun in 2021, Ed also revealed that he used to drink a lot of alcohol before. He revealed that he gained weight due to eating “chicken wings, wine, beer” every day and “never” exercising. He said that taking a break from touring was the “worst thing” for his health, as he “was drinking every day”.

Just a few years ago, when Ed was about to become a father, he decided to adopt healthier eating habits, stop drinking alcohol every day and hit the gym. In August 2020, Ed became a parent with his wife Cherry Seaborn and welcomed their first daughter, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran. “I’ve started living a lot cleaner since becoming a father. But I think taking time off and not going on tour was the worst thing for my health because I was drinking every day,” he told The Sun. “I stopped drinking three months before Lyra was born because I decided I was going to be the guy to take my wife to the hospital. At my peak I weighed 15-and-a-half stone (98kg), and I think I weigh ten-and-a-half stone (66.6kg) now – I was fat, it really showed. I had a 36 waist – now I’m down to 28.”
