Simon Cowell hasn't eaten a cookie since he turned 40. The 48-year-old music mogul has had to sacrifice his favorite calorific treats in order to stay in shape since his metabolism started slowing down.
Speaking at the London book launch of 'Michael Winner's Fat Pig Diet' on Wednesday night, Simon said: "Once you get to 40, you really have to be careful about what you eat. Cookies, cakes and chocolate are definitely off the menu."
