The 5ft 7in paramedic weighed 13 stone in May of this year, meaning her body mass index (BMI) was firmly in the overweight category. However, within just 10 days on her tinned fish eating plan she'd dropped nearly a stone, which was 'all fluid'.



By day 70, she'd dropped to 11 stone and 7lbs — just two lbs of weight loss away from being classified a healthy weight. Jane, 62, lost 30lbs in two and a half months thanks to a sardine-only diet. What's more, she claims the high protein diet also helped resolve pain caused by a common foot problem known as plantar fasciitis.

The condition causes pain at the bottom of the foot, around the heel and arch, particularly when walking. Scientists aren't sure what exactly causes the condition, but carrying excess weight is known to make it worse due to excess pressure on the feet.
