A broadcaster who hast lost over six stone in weight is hoping to help people stay healthy during lockdown.

Matt Vaughan, who grew up in Yate and has also lived in Stroud, did not want to be 'that fat dad at the school gates' so he decided to do something about his weight.

He has tried several diet plans throughout his life but found the diet he tried as part of the ITV Save Money: Lose Weight show worked for him.

Matt has also appeared on another ITV show, Change Your Tune.

“I have been a road tester of the Dukan diet for just over a year. I like it because it’s easy to follow, the rules are simple and it has changed the relationship I have with food," said Matt.

Matt, formerly a presenter on Gloucestershire's Sound Sound FM and also STAR Radio, has also created a blog called The Diet Journey to show how anyone can create nutritious meals without being a culinary expert.

“ I know how hard things are to stick to a plan at the moment and if you have fallen off the wagon, I understand how hard it is to get back on it.

"The thing that’s really good about this plan is that you only have to do 30 minutes of walking each day and you don’t starve yourself - you actually get to eat," Matt said.

To help others to battle the bulge during the lockdown, Matt is giving away a copy of the diet book he swears by - The Dukan Diet by Pierre Dukan - as well as his personal meal plan.
