Diet that helped Nottingham couple lose 27 stone

Nottingham couple Kieron Buxton, 50, and wife Helen, 51, hit the headlines this week following their amazing transformation after losing 27 stone between them. The couple, who have been married for 16 years, have shared the secrets to their success by detailing their before and after diets.

They have lost the weight after joining Slimming World on February 14, 2020, just weeks before lockdown. They have now been named Slimming World's couple of the year 2022.
