Alright, let's dive into the incredible weight loss journey of Ben Napier, the charming host of Home Town. Fans have been buzzing about his transformation, and now the truth is out. His wife, Erin Napier, has spilled the beans on how Ben managed to lose a whopping 95 pounds over the years, all thanks to a simple yet effective approach to his diet.
Ben Napier's Weight Loss Journey Begins
When the second half of season 7 of Home Town premiered on January 7, fans were eager to know more about Ben's dramatic weight loss. During this time, Erin, 38, took to social media to answer some of the most burning questions from fans, especially those curious about how Ben's March 2023 shoulder surgery played a role in his transformation.
"Ben looks amazing despite his shoulder injury! What's his secret?! #HGTVHometown #HomeTown @hgtv," one fan asked Erin on X, formerly known as Twitter. Erin responded with a simple yet effective approach: "He eats a good, healthy lunch, but just little things like apples, cheese, and carrots for supper." It's all about small, consistent changes that add up over time.

Post-Surgery Recovery and a New Routine
Ben, 40, underwent surgery to repair his rotator cuff early last year. As he recovered at home with the help of Erin and their daughters, Helen and Mae, he found a new rhythm. Despite the setback, Ben was back in his workshop in no time, focusing on home renovations and sticking to a healthy eating regimen. It wasn't just about avoiding junk food—it was about adopting healthier habits that fit into his busy lifestyle.
Erin's Influence on Ben's Diet
Ben has drawn inspiration from Erin, who is a big advocate for healthy snacking throughout the day. In November 2023, Erin told Entertainment Tonight about her own eating habits, which have influenced Ben's choices. "I like to eat 'girl dinner,' which is basically crackers for two meals a day. I just crave crackers and maybe a little cheese, charcuterie, a little fruit, maybe a crunchy carrot," she shared. "Ben just basically adopted eating the way I was eating. He has one big meal. He eats a good, healthy, big lunch. ... Last night for supper, he ate some dates. He’s obsessed with dates!"
Exercising at Home: Ben Builds a Gym
Ben, star of Home Town: Ben’s Workshop, didn't let his injury stop him from staying active. He built a gym in the family's Mississippi home, allowing him to maintain a regular exercise routine. Erin captioned an Instagram post in March 2023, saying, "Somehow, despite having a torn rotator cuff and us barging in and slowing him down daily, @scotsman.co has been building a gym in the barn and lost many lbs. and holy smokes what a babe with good blood pressure." It's clear that Erin is not only Ben's biggest supporter but also his biggest fan.
Achieving Fitness Goals
Erin has continued to cheer Ben on as he impresses fans with his new look. In a July 2023 Instagram post, she wrote, "[Ben] got hardcore about his health and fitness last winter ahead of his big shoulder surgery that was in March so he could sleep better on his back and lower his BP. Mission accomplished." It's a testament to Ben's dedication and determination to prioritize his health and well-being.
