Incredible transformation of 'Burger Republic' dad who reached 27 stone and 'squashed his heart' drinking six cans of pop a day

A dad whose weight ballooned from a diet of fizzy drinks and takeaways has described how he transformed his life and lost eleven stone. Adeel Khan, a 33-year-old businessman, used to drink five or six cans of fizzy pop a day and fill up on takeaways and sugary snacks.

Adeel, who is dad to a five-year-old son and two-year-old twin boys, owns a dessert café called Dessert Republic and a burger joint called Burger Republic. He weighed around 27 stones at his heaviest, and says during lockdown, he stood on his weighing scales and the reading said 'error'.
