Ed Gamble weight loss: Comedian dropped seven stone while living with type 1 diabetes

Ed Gamble says successfully losing seven stone (44kg) was not the result of signing up to a "crazy crash diet" but by making simple changes to his lifestyle.

The comedian, 36, cut down on his 19 stone (121kg) body weight in his early twenties by stopping "binge-eating" and "boozing". Speaking to the Daily Star in 2019, he added that he also found enjoyment in exercise.

"I didn’t really have self-esteem issues", Gamble told the newspaper. "I don’t want to paint this as, ‘Oh, I was really down about myself' – I was perfectly happy. But when I got booked for TV, I thought it might be nice to shed a few pounds.”
