Mr Perry said it was possible to be healthy while working on a platform in the North Sea.
“There are a lot of healthy people offshore, there are gyms, you can go for a walk round the helideck, you can be fit there, I think it just comes down to personal mindset of each individual.
“There’s a wide range of fruit and healthy options, but there’s also crisps and sweets which does not help.
“Everybody can lose weight, it’s keeping it off that’s the hard thing. I was one of these people that did these kind of crazy diets, but you can’t keep it off.”
He said he started eating the right foods at the right times, adding: “I started seeing the results.”
He said he “definitely” feared the new rules would lead to job losses.
“It will affect the pool available to go offshore, there’s a lot of us out there, and sadly it’s just the way that it’s going to go, that people will start losing their jobs, which is not good for anybody,” he said.
He added that the onus was on staff themselves, as well as employers, to make a difference.
