Many people might not think healthy eating and eating tasty food go together, but Theo explained this can be done by following the Mediterranean diet and using seasonal produce.
Theo told Express.co.uk: “The Mediterranean Diet is probably the best diet because it's very healthy.
“It's proven to be very healthy with olive oil and all the vegetables they eat there. I try to eat well.”
The Mediterranean Diet is based on foods eaten in countries such as Italy and Greece and includes foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains and fish.
Those following the diet will occasionally eat meat and daily, but cut back on sugar, processed food and refined grains.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found those who followed a Mediterranean diet lost 6.2lb more than those who did not.
