Simon Cowell reveals the secret to his weight loss is no red meat and DIET BEER

Simon Cowell, 60, reveals the secret to his weight loss is no red meat and DIET BEER… as he goes shirtless on beach jaunt with his family in Barbados

Simon Cowell has revealed the secret to his 20lb weight loss is cutting out red meat and drinking light beer instead of regular beer.

The music mogul, 60, told The Sun: ‘You can drink this light beer but you’ve got to be sensible about quantities. I have loads more energy and feel great. All I do is avoid just red meat – white meat is fine – and I eat loads of vegetables, salads and drink this great beer.

‘The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think wow. I used to be 36 inch waist and now I’ve lost four inches. I’m really happy now.’

Simon showed off his toned torso and flat stomach yet again as he walked shirtless down the beach with partner Lauren Silverman, 42, and son Eric, five, in Barbados on Tuesday.

He appeared happy and relaxed as he walked barefoot along the sand enjoying the Caribbean sun, stopping briefly for Eric to enjoy a dip in the ocean.      

Simon wore nothing more then a pair of black board shorts, while Lauren looked  every bit the beach-side goddess in a sheer loose-fitting sun dress worn over a classic white swimsuit. 

Eric splashed around in a pair of grey board shorts before taking his dad’s hand to go for a stroll. 

The family-of-three have been soaking up the sun in Barbados, where they’re known to visit each year at Christmas.

Simon has shed more than 20Ibs in weight thanks to a fastidious vegan diet, which he changed in order to keep up with Eric.

He told The Ellen DeGeneres Show: ‘I went to see this doctor in London. We did some tests. And then a month later he said, “You have the worst diet I’ve ever met from any patient.”‘

He then revealed he had actually named his new diet after his son, who enjoys water and tucking into a plate of raw vegetables.

He said: ‘It’s like the Eric diet because he actually, apart from ice cream, he actually likes water. I mean, who likes water? And his raw vegetables. So I’m on like, the Eric Cowell diet.’

The TV judge’s new physique has impressed his celebrity pals, with his close friend and fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams joking the star has become a ‘skinny b***h’.

Taking to Twitter to share his thoughts on Simon’s transformation, David tweeted a picture of his pal shirtless on the beach and said: ‘Skinny b***h,’ before following his post up with another of Simon that read: ‘Vegan diet my a**e.’
