Newcastle's 'anti-diet' fitness coach working to change attitudes to weight loss

A Newcastle fitness coach is on a mission to change the way the NHS approaches weight loss as she gets set to launch a campaign to shift the focus away from the scales.

Kim Stacey is the founder of Body Image Fitness based in Jesmond which provides both online and in-person exercise classes with a difference. The Kenton mum tells clients to ditch the diet and celebrate their body for what it can do in a bid to improve both their mental and physical health.

And now Kim's unique approach to fitness has caught the eye of the Nottingham NHS Trust which has asked the 37-year-old to create a "toolkit" that could be used by medics to help them tackle weight loss in a different way.
