Simon Cowell vows to shed weight before US X Factor launch?

Simon Cowell, who is gearing up to launch US X Factor, has reportedly vowed to shed his weight and get back to his great shape before starting the show. It is reported that the music mogul has put on more weight by over-indulging in his favourite home-cooked meals during his recent visit to Britain. Now, he is going on a strict diet.

"He's been having meals Brits love such as spaghetti Bolognese and fish fingers and chips," the New! Magazine quoted a source as saying. Now, Simon Cowell is said to have cut out carbohydrates altogether and is tucking into vegetable smoothies for lunch in a bid to reduce the weight.

Simon Cowell has come back in Los Angeles and is now hoping to reduce his moob size before the launch of the US X Factor. "Being back in Los Angeles, he said it's much easier for him to lose it as he will swim every day and his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy will make sure he eats healthily," the New! Magazine quoted a source as saying.
