Man who weighed 26 stone and scoffed 35 Double Deckers weekly drops 11 stone in a year

A 26-stone man who scoffed 35 Double Deckers every week until he was so obese he 'couldn't put his socks on' has lost 11 stone in a year in a bid to become a professional boxer.

Tobie Vermeire, 29, from Malvern Hills, Worcester, had always struggled with his weight but began to find himself eating a four-pack of the Cadbury's chocolate bars with lunch and sometimes more in the morning and evening.

Each Double Decker contains 30g of sugar meaning Tobie was consuming a kilo of sugar a week just from the habit alone.
