Dad smashes New Year goal by shredding five stone with substitution trick

A snack-loving dad has shared how he transformed his self-confidence after shedding nearly five stone in a year.

Terry Burt, 67, says he had not been happy with his body for over a decade, and when his diet of crisps, chocolate and sweets saw his weight rise to 23 stone, he decided to make a change.

With the support of his wife, the snack-lover joined a weight loss support group, and he's never looked back since. Together the pair transformed their diets, but they never had to deny themselves the food they love, as the Manchester Evening News reports.
