A 46 year old man has revealed that he lost two stone after eating nothing but food from bakery outlet Greggs for six weeks.
David Hulston was taking part in a new Channel 4 documentary called 'How To Lose Weight Well' and his challenge was to eat 1,800 calories a day from the bakery outlet.
His typical daily diet included:
- An Egg Roll or Red Berry Porridge for breakfast
- A Sausage Roll or slice of Margherita Pizza for lunch
- A coconut, lime and chili chicken salad or Ham Salad Sub Roll for dinner
- Snacks including a banana or 'fruit medley' pot between meals
Mr Hulston was forbidden from drinking alcohol during the time.
His total body weight fell from 17 stone to 15 stone after just six weeks of the 'Greggs diet'.
David told The Sun newspaper: "I’m over the moon. I did feel hungry but I’m glad I stuck to it. I’m fast approaching 50 and want to feel fit by the time I do."
"But when I started I was the heaviest I’ve ever been – and I love Greggs pasties. If you think you have the willpower, then go for it."
Dr van Tulleken, who is part of the show, said: "There’s always something we want to slim down for – whether it’s a wedding or a holiday. But how do we know which diet will work for us? In this series, we test the latest diets."
