Viewers who tuned in to Nailed It has watched and wondered how Torres lost “almost 60 lbs.” in 2018. The pastry chef revealed that he adjusted his dessert-filled diet, but not before consulting a doctor first.
Torres noticed that his metabolism was not working as it used to. He was getting heavier but knew it was not the kind where he was healthy and shared that he knew he had a “fat liver,” which was a sign for future health troubles.
Concerned, the chef consulted his doctor, who gave him a reality check.
The doctor looked at me and said, “Look, you have a very young child. If you want to see your child reach 20, you have to change your lifestyle.” I realized I wanted to be around for my child.
The doctor advised him to see a nutritionist, which he did. The nutritionist taught him portion control and adjusted his eating habits. He cut carbs for a year, which was challenging, but the one thing he did not give up was chocolate. As a chocolatier, he ate a little chocolate here and there.
He also biked to work as his daily exercise, weighed himself once or twice a week, as recommended by his nutritionist.
