It took years of trial and error, butJames Cordenfinally feels like he understands the key to losing weight.
TheLate Late Showhost, 42, has dropped 23 lbs. so farafter joining WW, formerly Weight Watchers, as a spokespersonin January. And the big difference this time was that he made a mental shift in how he understands dieting.
“This is my tip — and I’m not, for one minute, saying that I’ve cracked this — but I’ve done every single diet in the world. I’ve done them all and what I’ve realized is the notion of going on a diet is wrong,” Corden told host Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2’sThe Zoe Ball Breakfast Show.
“You’re not going on a diet,” he explained, “you’re gonna change the way you eat. And you’re gonna change the way you eat forever. Just see this as: This is how you eat now.”
Corden told PEOPLE in Aprilthat he’s never successfully made it through a weight loss plan for this long.
“I used to go on a crash diet every January. By April, any progress I had made at the beginning of the year was already out the window. With WW, it’s a different story,” he said. “I can eat what I love, and the app everything — it keeps me focused. And guess what? I’m down 20 pounds since the start of this year.”
The dad of three had announced in January thathe decided to join WWbecause he was “fed up with the way I look,” and “fed up with being unhealthy.”
Corden explained that his goal, though, is not about the number on the scale, but how he feels.
“I want to change the way that I live,” he said. “I want to be better for my children and for my family. I don’t want to wake up tired, or feel embarrassed when I’m chasing my son on the soccer field and [I’m] out of breath after three minutes. The weight is not the issue, it’s the wellness of it I am ready to tackle. I’m going to take this year and work towards getting healthy.”
