New mum drops more than a stone in a month by eating nothing but GREGGS
Hannah Barth, from Hertfordshire, who was 13 stone and a size 16, signed up to the bakery chain's Minimise Me diet
A NEW mum has dropped more than a stone in a month by eating nothing but Greggs.
Hannah Barth, from Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, was a size 16 and tipped the scales at 13 stone before she signed up to the bakery chain's Minimise Me diet.
The Minimise Me weight loss plan was inspired by the infamous Supersize Me documentary in which filmmaker Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald's for a month.
It has also worked for three other slimmers, though Hannah's weight loss was the most significant.
Between the four of them they lost more than two stone, with one bride-to-be shedding 9cm from her waist.
Hannah, who has previously tried Atkins and Weight Watchers, admitted: "I think the biggest difference between this diet and other previous diets that I’ve tried is the portion control.
"With diets that I’ve tried before, you weigh out your portion size, and then you sneak a little bit of extra in if you’re feeling a bit naughty.
"But with this one, the sandwich is there, the fruit pot is there, the porridge is there - and it takes away all the faff of having to weigh things and measure things out."
Hannah's diet before
Breakfast: Cereal (Fruit and Fibre or Weetabix with fruit) or a bagel with peanut butter, cup of tea
Lunch: A salad with tuna/hard-boiled egg, or a jacket potato with beans or beans on toast. Sometimes dinner leftovers
Dinner: Pasta with tomato sauce and cheese, veggie lasagne or stir fry
Snacks: Coffee, left-over baby food, fruit, crisps, rice cakes
A typical day on Hannah's Greggs diet
Breakfast: Original Porridge and half a pack of Berries and Cherries, or an Egg Breakfast Roll
Lunch: Tuna Mayonnaise Sub Roll or a Honey Roast Ham, Free Range Egg and Potato Salad
Dinner: Cheese, Tomato and Basil Pasta Salad, or a Roast Chicken Salad Sub Roll
Snack: Fruit Medley, or a piece of fruit and half a pack of Sweet Mango
Jokingly she added: "I might take a little break from eating from Greggs for a while."
Speaking about the reaction she received from friends and family, she said: "Everyone who I’ve seen in the past three weeks [has said] 'Wow, you look amazing'.
"My husband’s really proud of me, which is really nice, considering how much weight I put on during my pregnancy, and a lot of my friends have commented on how good I look.
"I went back into work last week to see everyone who hasn’t seen me in months and the reaction was really good, so I’m really pleased."
Hannah is also living a more active lifestyle now, shunning her car in favour of walking to the shops and exercising while in front of the TV when her baby is asleep.
Last week we revealed the amount of meat which is REALLY in Greggs’ steak bakes and sausage rolls… and it’ll probably surprise you.
In March we told how a Greggs fan who calls the pastry shop his "religion"; has spent more than £2,000 eating their bacon and sausage sarnies every day for three years.
