Man's family shocked when he comes home from seven-month trip 137lbs lighter

A man who went to live in the wilderness in Mallorca for seven months shocked his family when he came home 137lbs lighter. Bryan O'Keeffe, 34, weighed 24 stone 2lbs (338 lbs) towards the end of 2021 when he moved to Mallorca.

He had tried diets and exercised before - as well as having a gastric balloon fitted. Looking for a different approach, Bryan moved to Mallorca last November, cutting communication with most of his family and friends.

For six months he stuck to a calorie limit of 2200, which he dropped to 1750 a day for the final month, and exercised for five hours a day. In a video, which has now gained over 1.2million likes on Bryan's TikTok, @the.okeeffe , he can be seen showing up on his friend's and family's doorsteps to surprise them with his weight loss - Bryan now weighs 14 stone 5lbs (201 lbs), reports BirminghamLive.
