A man who cut off all communication with his family and moved to Spain to lose weight left his family stunned when he arrived back home 10 stone lighter. Bryan O'Keeffe weighed 24 stone 2lbs (338lbs) when he made the decision to move to Mallorca towards the end of 2021 to try '' a different approach'' to achieve his desired weight loss.
Seven months later he arrived home to Cork almost unrecognisable as he tipped the scales at 14 stone 5lbs (201lbs), leaving his friends and family gobsmacked. Bryan, who said he had tried everything he could to lose weight, thought it was time to try something new so he headed for the Spanish island and cut all communication with his family and friends to focus on himself.
For six months, he stuck to a strict calorie limit of 2,200 which he lowered to 1,750 for the final months, the Daily Star reports. He also exercised every day for around five hours.
