The 46-year-old shared a video highlighting his impressive body transformation after "struggling with weight" over a number of years.
Admitting he "didn't want" to post the video, Marcus opined how "it's really important to share all sides of life to social media."
He captioned: "Being a chef and surrounded by food all my life has had its perks , but my fitness levels and body have changed so much over the years.
"And I've especially struggled with my weight over the last 5-6 years.
"The combination of long hours in the kitchen or at shows, stress, money worries, not feeling good enough, the list goes on.
"November 2024 I wasn't happy, life was busy and stressful as always, which I'm very thankful for.
"I'd had both my knees operated on in the space of a year. I hadn't been able to run and had completely lost any motivation.
"December 2024 I decided it had to change, I had London marathon 2025 coming up and had to sort myself out just to get over the finish line.
"I kept it simple aimed to run 3 miles a day, trying to do this 3-4 days a week, I also combined the running with a few body weight exercises to increase my strength."
He added: "It's taken time, and after 7 months I'm starting to feel proud of what I've achieved so far. I don't have a PT, I don't have a nutritionist, I've just created my only little plan, eating better as much as possible, upping my protein and reducing my carbs.

"One thing I don't do is diet, I also don't weigh myself, just use my clothes and how they fit as a measure of progress."
Marcus explained he went through this process in order to "make better choices when possible around work and everyday life."
Continuing, the TV chef shared he is "feeling proud" over his admirable accomplishments.
One fan commented: "Superb chef, well done."

'I can't believe I've finally found something that works," Gemma told us. I've lost nearly two stone already and it's been completely effortless - I don't even want to eat anymore! I got on the scales and lost something like 6kg in my first week. I bet my house by May, I'll have six stone off. And it's been effortless. I've struggled for many, many years to lose weight... All my life... I tried everything.'
Shaun Wallace - Best known for being The Dark Destroyer on ITV quiz show The Chase, Shaun has also been on a body transformation. Earlier this month, he revealed he had been able to drop the pounds thanks to the Jane Plan diet. Speaking in a video recorded in his bathroom, Shaun said: "End of the first week of the Jane Plan diet journey, let's see if I've lost weight..." Shaun continued by standing on scales and revealing he'd managed to lose three kilos. The quiz titan captioned his post: "It's weigh in time! I've lost 3 kilos!! Keeping up with my Jane Plan diet."

"I genuinely didn't exercise, I didn't go to the gym, I didn't do anything apart from cut sugar out, and the weight just started to drop off of me," she said. "It just goes to show how unhealthy sugar is." Chantelle lost 5st as a result of cutting out sugar.
Another added: "Well done! I bet it took a lot of will power at first."

Emmerdale spoilers - Villain returns for revenge on Joe and Robert Sugden drama
Emmerdale spoilers have teased a very big week ahead on the ITV soap, as Joe Tate faces a villain in a revenge twist, while there's a double hospital dash and drama for Robert Sugden There's big twists and turns on Emmerdale next week, including a shocking return, revenge drama and danger for more than one resident. Joe Tate finally learns who's been targeting him with a harassment campaign, resulting in horrifying scenes next week. It sparks the return of a villain, with Joe possibly facing serious danger. He's not the only one, as two characters face trouble in a car incident as one of them faints behind the wheel. There's also schemes and threats as Robert Sugden takes action, while there's plenty of decisions and big moments ahead. Let's kick things off with the return of Joe's former accomplice and now nemesis, it seems, Dr Crowley. We last saw Crowley after he got dragged into Joe's schemes when he needed a new kidney. He was paying Crowley to help him find a donor and then perform the operation, which he did. What Crowley wasn't banking on though was Joel having his uncle Caleb Miligan stabbed, before being forced to remove the kidney and transplant it into Joe. With the police snooping around Crowley fled and he has not been seen since. But it seems he's out to get Joe, after weeks of harassment and he's not working alone. As the villain makes a comeback it seems he's more dangerous than ever, blackmailing Joe. As he's revealed to be behind Joe's ordeal, he demands £100,000 to be placed in the kitchen at Home Farm. Fearing Shaun is behind it, Joe sacks him leading to the character turning threatening. Joe plots to flee the village fearing he isn't safe, only to be knocked out by a shovel-wielding Shaun. That's not the worst of it though as he wakes up in a makeshift hospital room to a menacing Crowley looming over him. So what does Crowley have planned and will Joe make it out alive? Two other characters face danger next week, when Gabby's crash diet ahead of her wedding leaves her and Sarah Sugden in a bad way. Sarah is still recovering from her emergency hysterectomy when the pair go for a drive as mechanic Sarah offers to ensure Gabby's car is fine after some issues. She's trying to take her mind off things, clearly struggling and refusing to rest as suggested by the doctors. But having barely eaten for days, Gabby faints at the wheel meaning Sarah has to quickly grab the wheel to bring the car to a stop. Sarah is left in agony at having to stretch out amid her wounds from her operation. As they both end up in hospital, Sarah collapses. When joined by her grandfather Cain Dingle, an emotional Sarah admits the accident made her realise how badly she wants a family of her own so he suggests surrogacy. When Charity Dingle fears Cain is raising their granddaughter's hopes, Cain says he's determined to help her. As for Gabby, she's given the all clear but as fiancé Vinny Dingle supports her, he continues to hide his concerns over their relationship and continues to question his sexuality. Gabby's stepmother Laurel Thomas overhears Vinny talking with pal Kammy and demands a private chat. She encourages him not to marry Gabby if he's unsure about the relationship but what will he do? Finally next week, Robert Sugden causes more trouble when he avoids discussing plans for Annie's field after a deal with Moira Dingle. But when Ross Barton confronts him about the missing weed, Robert threatens to cancel the land deal with Moira, forcing Ross to back down temporarily. Kim Tate prepares to share all about her new man, and Tracy Robinson fumes at Cain over Nate's memorial. Lewis Barton gets a job at the café and proves to be a hit. Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Threads.
