Diego Leuco was a guest in Seres Libres, the cycle led by Gastón Pauls on Crónica TV (Fridays at 22), and surprised by revealing the addiction problem he suffered years ago.
"I had a very big addiction to training, to the physical to what was supposed to be physical well-being," revealed the host of Before Anyone (Luzu TV, Monday to Friday at 8).
And he detailed: "When I was a boy I was quite overweight, about thirty kilos more than now, at 17, 18 years old. It was something that bothered me a lot. I had the feeling that they were looking at me, but then the classmates told me 'nothing to see'. It was more of a mambo of mine than anything else."

"That's where I put the batteries. It happened to me that I started training, but it became a half-toxic addiction. I trained two, three hours a day, weighed the food. I was like that for a year. It helped me because later I learned to relax," he said. "It was a year in which for the first time I felt that I could lose control over something, like something was making my decisions for me," added Leuco, who later spoke about his work.
"I'm a bit addicted to laburo, but I learned to do only what I love at work and that's a brutal change. ' If I'm not happy here, don't do it anymore,'" acknowledged Leuco, who at the beginning of years surprised with the decision to leave the leadership of Telenoche (El Trece).
And then he emphasized: "Lately the cigarette is what me the most, because I start big."
Diego Leuco confessed in dialogue with Gastón Pauls. Capture TV.
"I think it's more of an anxiety cigarette than a nicotine cigarette. Because I smoke when I have nothing to do," Leuco said of the addiction he would like to leave behind.
"When I moved only the 'puchito of being alone' appeared and that is the one that today is most difficult for me to let go. There are times when I have no limits. For example, if I'm in a traffic jam in a car and I have cigarettes... I have no limits there. It's one after the other," said the journalist, who is in a couple with his colleague Sofía Martínez.
And then he sentenced: "Rarely is the cigarette of pleasure, most of the time it is the feeling of doing something. Seriously once I said 'see you here'. I left for two or three months and then came back. Do I want to quit? Yes. Am I desperate to quit? Obviously not. I found that I am not convinced to leave him."
"When I left it is a major physical difference. In the morning it feels a lot... I try to change habits, I have a lot of will to change, as with food, training, meditation, but I do not succeed with that, "added Leuco, speaking of the impossibility of quitting smoking.
