Spencer Pratt says he gained 40 pounds eating pasta and pies

Question

Spencer Pratt is determined to swap his dad bod for a summer bod by July 4th.

After gaining almost 40 pounds over the last few years, The Hills star, 40, has teamed up with Hydroxycut in a bid to get in the best shape of his life.

Speaking to Dailymail.com, Spencer said that it was wife Heidi Montag's incredible results with the weight loss brand that inspired him to follow in her footsteps. 

Before changing up his diet, the Pratt Daddy crystals mogul admits that he was eating 'everything' in sight.  

'Pasta, Mexican food. During The Hills reboot [in 2020] it was pot pies because I thought we were all gonna die according to the media, so I was just gonna go out on pot pies and red wine,' he said.

'[The pandemic] is where things really went sideways because I was pretty ripped until then.' 

Spencer says he's now cut his alcohol intake down and switched to ultra skinny margaritas and Hydroxycut mocktails. 

He's also had to be more mindful when it comes to food, and admits that he got into the habit of finishing off Heidi's meals whenever they dined out, along with sons Gunner and Ryker's plates too. 

'I don't like wasting money when it comes to food, so when the whole family goes to a nice Italian restaurant, Gunner doesn't eat all his buttered noodles and Ryker doesn't eat all his fettucini, so I'm finishing their plates,' he said.

'And I'd stress eat bread before the food even comes because it's so hectic having a baby.'

While Heidi is in the best shape of her life after hitting the gym and dropping 22 pounds, Pratt confessed that his own lack of fitness has affected his confidence in the bedroom.

'Heidi's got a six pack, she's showing me her new underwear and Buy SCapsules saying, "Look at this muscle right here!" And I'm here just holding a handful of fat like, "Yeah, look at this right here."'

Heidi confidently flaunted her bikini body in a commercial last month while Spencer hid behind a barbeque  

'So yeah it's not fun. Also, it doesn't help your cardio and performance in anything.'

Spencer now jokes that he's trying to get in as good shape as Kristin Cavallari's new boyfriend, Montana Boyz member Mark Estes. 

'The goal is to get a sick pack and be more ripped than everybody on my timeline, specifically the Montana Boyz,' he said.

'I can lip sync better than them, I can dance better than them, so my logic is that if I get better abs than them I'll be trending again.'

He added, 'I had abs before the Montana Boyz were even born!'

Spencer is now a spokesperson for Hydroxycut following wife Heidi's success with the weight loss supplements, which saw her drop 22lbs earlier this year.

The Superficial singer, 37, reached her goal weight thanks to taking Hydroxycut while going on a low-carb diet and working out five times a week while adding in hikes and power walks during her free time.

'My favourite Hydroxycut product is the original formula,' she told Dailymail.com.

'I love taking it in the morning. I love the boost of energy that I get and it takes me through the whole day.'

She added, 'The drinks are really refreshing in the summer so that's always a nice burst of energy without a crazy amount of calories.' 

As for Spencer, he's embarking on a challenge to get abs by July 4th.

'We've challenged Spencer with a fun goal of trying to fit in a red, white and blue themed swimsuit on Independence Day,' said Wes Parris, the CEO of Iovate Health Sciences International, makers of the Hydroxycut.

'While most would reach for a six-pack on the Fourth of July, both Hydroxycut and Spencer would love to see an abdominal six-pack start to emerge. Those would be fireworks we'd love to see.'
