• Corie Brooks, 31, dropped from a size 20 frame to a size eight through dieting

• But she restricted her diet to only 600 calories per day and lost six stone 

A mother gained back her confidence after dropping six stone through a 600-calorie diet.   

Corie Brooks, 31, was fed up of her size 20 frame and, after years of binging on unhealthy snacks, she decided to overhaul her diet.

So the mother-of-one, from Nottingham, who used to eat a multi-pack of crisps daily, began restricting her diet to just 600 calories per day.

She couldn’t believe it when her 17-stone frame started to shrink and for the first time in her life she had her confidence back.

By the end of 2017, Ms Brooks was taking selfies most days as she was so thrilled with her results.

And now, for the first time since her early twenties, Ms Brooks, who now weighs 11st 5lbs and wears a dress size 8, loves wearing a bikini and is feeling healthier than ever.

She said: ‘I can’t stop taking selfies now and after years of hating my body, I now couldn’t be happier with how I look.

‘I would spend days hiding at home as I didn’t want to be seen and enjoyed comfort eating.

‘I lost my mum suddenly at 24 so I was eating to help deal with the loss but through doing that I was feeling even worse.

‘Eating bags of multi-packs of crisps and chocolate was the main reason I gained weight and ended up a dress size 18.

‘I never ate cooked food but would live off snack foods which were full of sugar.

‘After joining Cambridge Weight Plan last January I rapidly started to lose weight.

‘I was over the moon that I’d finally found a diet that worked and I was so determined to stick to it.

‘I didn’t exercise as I was only eating 600 calories per day but the pounds quickly fell off.

‘Now I have hit goal weight and finally have the confidence to show off my body.

‘I love taking photos now as I’m proud of what I’ve managed to achieve.’

Before her incredible body transformation, Ms Brooks would eat crisps and cakes for breakfast; the same meal plus chocolate for lunch; pizza or Chinese takeaway for dinner and crisps and chocolate for snacks.

She now eats granola with almond milk or fat-free yogurt for breakfast; chicken salad or sushi for lunch; chicken or fish with vegetables for dinner and fruit as a snack. 

She added: ‘I will never be the “big girl” of the group again.

‘I feel great now and I can’t ever imagine binging like I used to before.

‘I now eat healthy salads and fruit and vegetables instead of sugary snacks.

‘It’s crazy to look back at old photos as I barely look the same now I have lost the weight.

‘This is the first summer in almost a decade where I feel comfortable to actually wear a bikini.’
