Ed Sheeran reveals weight-loss plan: 'You don't have to kill yourself by getting into shape'

Ed Sheeran has said he cut alcohol and bad food out of his life to lose weight.

The singer-songwriter told The Hits that he previously decided to change his eating and drinking habits in order to trim his waistline.

The Brit said: "I was never really happy with my image and then I realised it was because I was eating fried food and drinking beer every day. You don't have to kill yourself by getting into shape. Just eat right and don't drink every day."

Sheeran meanwhile added that dancing also helped him to lose weight:

"I'd like to be healthier but I just don't enjoy working out. I enjoyed dancing and I lost weight while dancing. I could play football, I could do badminton.

"I just don't enjoy running on a treadmill or doing weights or doing sit-ups. It feels like it's quite a vain thing to do too much. I think if you do it for health reasons, then it's great but if you do it for image reasons, purely image reasons, I don't think it makes sense."
