A man says his five stone weight loss is down to eating 2,000 eggs - and says he feels 10 years younger after adopting an 'egg diet'. Ross Macfarlane, 34, tipped the scales at 18st 12lbs and struggled to fit into size 40-inch jeans when he realised he needed to make a lifestyle change.
The IT manager had tried 'crash diets' before - but had never been able to shift the weight. During the pandemic, in August 2021, Ross noticed he had a resting heart rate of 100 bpm as well as high cholesterol and blood pressure. When Covid restrictions were lifted, he tried to put on size 40-inch jeans and couldn't do them up - and realised he needed to change.
Ross completely overhauled his diet and exercise regime - eating higher protein foods and exercising regularly. He ditched high-processed foods and takeaways and started eating up to six eggs every day - scoffing 2,000 eggs over the last two years.
