Dave Myers, star of Hairy Bikers, has returned to work following a cancer fight and revealed the one diet adjustment that has helped him.
Dave, 65, announced last year that he was undergoing cancer treatment, joking that he would be a ‘baldy biker’ for a while.
In following updates, he claimed to be “kind of doing alright,” while treatment was still “ongoing,” and he greeted 2023 by claiming cancer was “something one learns to live with.”
Just months after opening out about his ‘brutal’ chemotherapy treatment, in which he confessed he’d lost’so much weight’ and suffered with losing his appetite, the celebrity is back at work… Because of sauerkraut.
His new diet, which includes fermented cabbage and other gut-friendly foods, has proven beneficial to his recovery.
‘It’s unbelievable to be back. Every breath I take now is just refreshing and fabulous. It varies really what food I’ve been having,’ he said.

Dave continued to The Mirror: ‘At some stage I need to put weight on but I need things to boost my immune system.
‘So I’ve been eating a lot of sauerkraut. It really works for me – sauerkraut, kimchi and meatballs.
‘I live by it. It’s a probiotic and good for the immune system and keeps you regular. I love it. It’s the healthy eating that does it.’
Dave went on to announce that the popular combo are back in the studio filming a new TV show, calling it a “huge step back to normalcy.”
‘It’s a work in progress and it’s all going the right way. I’m getting there and I’m back on the bike,’ he shared.

Earlier this year, Dave spoke about his ‘brutal’ chemotherapy treatment, saying:: ‘It’s odd, when you first start chemotherapy… it’s fairly hard. I’m still suffering from it. It was very horrible.’
Speaking on Tommy Banks’ Seasoned podcast, Dave went on: ‘I lost so much weight and then it’s a battle to get your calories in.
‘At first I thought, “Right, this is great, I can eat all those pies I haven’t been eating for years”, except [my] appetite was dreadful!’
He added: ‘For me, a glutton, losing my appetite was awful. A can of soup was about as far as I could go.
‘Now I’ve got to the point where I’m at the weight I want to be, and I want to maintain it.’
Dave previously stated that his cancer chemotherapy treatment has impacted his ability to walk.
