Meet Mark, 

I am a 39 year old Husband & Father living in The Forest of Dean. I’ve had what I can only describe as an ‘up and down’ relationship with food for most of my life. 

I’ve tried every diet, some have been more successful than others, but ultimately, none of them seemed to stick. 

What really opened my eyes was the Covid-19 Pandemic, during lockdown I reached my heaviest weight of 18 ½ stone. 

Why did you choose to use the Skinny Food Co products?

In August 2022, I knew it was time to make a change, I threw out all unhealthy products and began my new healthy lifestyle, and a large part of that included The Skinny Food Co’s products! 

I found out about The Skinny Food Co when I saw them in a local store, I was on a mission to find healthy alternatives, because I was struggling with bland meals and wanted some low-calorie sauces. 

What are your favourite Skinny Food Co products?

I’m yet to find a Skinny Food Co product that I don’t like! There’s so many - it really has opened up such a wide variety of meals I never thought I’d be allowed to eat again. 

My favourites would have to be the Cookie & Brownie Mixes for baking and the Ketchup & Chip Shop Curry Sauce.

How has Skinny Food Co helped you achieve your goals?

To say Skinny Food Co have helped me stick to my diet would be an understatement - I’ve lost 3 Stone in 12 weeks!

Skinny Food Co products have enabled me to have a regular treat in a healthy way, instead of completely restricting myself from the meals I love, now I can just have healthier alternatives. I truly believe without these healthy alternatives I would’ve given up on my diet again, I think limiting yourself and being so strict with what you can and can’t eat is the main reason for diet failures. 

I still have more to go, I’m currently down to 15 ½ stone with a weight goal of 14 ½ - But being more active is another goal of mine, and that's why I’ve entered into the Bath Half Marathon in October 2023!

What would you say to others who wish to achieve their goals?

If other people are wanting to have a healthy lifestyle, I would just like to say to them that it’s OK to treat yourself, enjoy the snacks and the treats, you don’t need to make yourself feel guilty for enjoying food! 

Finding a healthy balance is the best way to stay committed to your weight loss journey. 

For me it was discovering all the healthy alternatives Skinny Food Co had that meant I could still continue to eat my regular meals & enjoy my regular go-to snacks.
