For some, lockdown was a time when they put on weight, but for Stuart McMullen, it was an opportunity for him to change his diet. As a result, he lost a life-changing nine stone. He told Express.co.uk exactly how he achieved it.
Stuart, 37, said: “I have always battled with my weight, and it’s been a huge concern of mine for many years.
“It would affect all aspects of my life; I’d struggle walking across fields at work and my asthma had also deteriorated.”
When the nation went into lockdown back in 2020, Stuart had reached 23st 12lbs and spotted the opportunity to change.
He continued: “The fast-food restaurants I would usually order from were closed, so this prevented my usual poor eating habits.
“I was motivated to change my habits and become a lot healthier.

Before long he climbed Scafell Pike, the biggest mountain in England, as well as the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
“I joined the gym and was hiking across mountains all over the country,” Stuart explained.
“The changes I felt in myself encouraged me to keep going and I lost an additional five stone, taking me to 14st 11lbs.
“The amazing products available on plan provided me with a lot more energy than the fast food I was eating before and fitted in with my new active lifestyle.”
Stuart went from being a size 6XL to an L and plans to keep going with his diet and pursuing his fitness goals.
“I live to be at one with nature now and have never felt as happy in all my life,” Stuart said. “It’s all thanks to The 1:1 Diet.”
