Marmite addict who has eaten spread every day for 35 years has finally been cured

A MARMITE addict who has eaten the spread every day for 35 years has finally been cured.

Michael Pryce-Jones, 37, ate the divisive yeasty topping on white toast for breakfast and in sandwiches for lunch.

The RAC worker reckons he has gone through a 500g jar of every week since he was two years old.

He also ate takeaways, chips and chocolate cookies but would gag if he tried fruit and vegetables.

But when Michael tipped 18st last year, he contacted hypnotherapist David Kilmurry and was diagnosed with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder.

After several sessions, Michael, from Malvern, Worcs, has enjoyed fruit, veg and chicken casserole for the first time — and lost 2st.

The dad of two said: “I’ve had a Marmite sandwich every day for 35 years, without fail.

"It’s like a religion. I just love the taste. It’s not unhealthy but I wasn’t really eating anything else."It’s like a religion.

“After the sessions with David, I can eat yoghurt and apricots.

"I still have Marmite every day but I’m open to other foods which is important.”
