Simon Cowell may be an expert in the music biz, but after a 20-pound weight loss, he’s a go-to for health advice.

“The secret is don’t follow one of the fad diets because there’s just too many and they contradict each other,” he told Access Hollywood last week. “You’ve just got to cut out the obvious and once you get used to it, you feel better.”

But like anyone looking to pursue a healthy lifestyle, balance is key.

“I can still drink beer, so I’m happy,” he said.

The “America’s Got Talent” judge has been showing off his slimmer figure lately thanks to taking on a vegan diet.

The decision to get healthy came just before Cowell turned 60. He told Page Six in July that after a doctor’s visit he nixed red meat, dairy, sugar, bread, and gluten from his diet.

“Actually, [the doctor] was way more worried about what I was eating!” he said.
