"Matt Lucas is going on a 1,500 calories-per-day diet after taking advice from his doctor, say reports. According to The Sun, the Little Britain comic is concerned that he may suffer an early death like his father, who passed away aged 56. Lucas&amp;#039;s new regime means that he will be eating 1,000 calories less than a grown man&amp;#039;s daily recommendation. &amp;quot;My doctor said that my health was at risk. I didn&amp;#039;t want my health to be in danger,&amp;quot; said the 35-year-old. &amp;quot;I also realised I had got to the stage where I couldn&amp;#039;t actually picture myself as not fat.&amp;quot; The comic continued: &amp;quot;The likelihood of me being a proper thin man is remote. I think I&amp;#039;ll end up being a stone overweight. But I&amp;#039;m not there yet by any stretch of the imagination.&amp;quot; Speaking about his fitness regime, he added: &amp;quot;It\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s hard, but it does get the endorphins going and I do get a tremendous sense of achievement as I lie there in pain. &amp;quot;My trainer is a really nice, eccentric lady, and while we train we have really interesting conversations.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
