A PORKY butcher who used to eat all the pies and tipped the scales at more than 20 stone only four months ago has shed a staggering eight stone.

Meaty Daniel Wilson, 30, of Sherburn-in-Elmet, scoffed fry-ups, pies, chips and chocolate as he ballooned after tying the knot with sweetheart Elizabeth, 29, two years ago.

The fed-up pie-eating dad, who has worked in a butchers for ten years, was tired and irritable and even lacked the energy to play with his two young sons, newborn Harvey and two-year-old Calum.

But matters have changed dramatically after he went on a medically supervised diet at Alizonne, a nearby clinic.

He was given protein meal replacements, which satisfied hunger cravings, and he has also had special skin treatment to break down his fat.

Daniel said: “At work the lads would joke and ask me ‘who ate all the pies?’. But now I’m 13 stone and have a 32-inch waist and I’m the smallest one there. It’s amazing, I feel great.

“Now I am finding it easy to stick to healthier eating and I find I can eat a lot without putting weight on, as long as I’m eating the right sort of things.”
