Man shares his staggering six stone weight loss after vital food swap - 'it tastes amazing'

Charlie was used to filling up on fast food such as burgers, chocolates and fizzy drinks but realised his eating was out of control while on an all-inclusive holiday in Turkey last year.

He said: "While I was on the holiday I was at my heaviest weight of 22st 4lb.

“I just felt unhealthy and self-conscious about my weight and from out of nowhere, something clicked in me to make a change."

After returning from his holiday, Charlie binned all junk food in his home and signed up for the gym.

He turned his back on unhealthy food and instead cooked high-protein meals made with lean chicken and beef from online food retailer MuscleFood.com.

“I now go to the gym four to five times a week with weekly check-ins with my PT so we can work on my progress and set new targets going forward," he added.

“At first I was strict with my routine and what I did but now I go because I actually enjoy it and not just because I need to lose weight.

“I’ve learned over time how to be consistent in my workouts and be more disciplined when it comes to junk food. I now eat it but in moderation. It’s not all of the time like it was before.

“It was hard at first but I was determined to do it and because I made sure there was a routine in place to help make it easier, I’ve been able to stick to it.”

Lean meat is a great addition to a healthy diet as it is high in protein - a nutrient that helps people to feel full while eating fewer calories.

It is also important for building and maintaining muscle mass, making it important when hitting the gym, like Charlie did.

He continued: "Even though I’m proud of the huge amount of weight I’ve lost, I’ve still got a bit to go until I reach my goal of 95kg.

“To do this I’m making sure I stick to my healthy eating while carrying on with the gym and having a proper routine in place so I don’t fall out of the loop.

“The lean meats and healthy snacks I’ve been able to buy from MuscleFood have been a huge help. Because it’s delivered directly to my door, I’m not tempted by all the unhealthy foods I’d be seeing if I headed to the supermarket. And it all tastes amazing too."
