Before diet: Ben Azadi on his wedding day
A MAN who once weighed in at 31 stones has been inspired to try ten popular diets in ten weeks.
Ben Azadi, 28, of Thornaby, near Stockton, is taking on a new diet a week, some of which have been criticised as fads, to raise money for charity.
He has already had a week of the Atkins diet but will also try the cabbage soup diet, the caveman diet and even the Special K breakfast cereal diet.
He hopes to raise the cash in memory of his niece, Rose McNaughton, who was stillborn.
The money will be given to the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity, which helps parents and campaigns for more and better pregnancy scanning.
Mr Azadi, who works in online marketing, weighed 31 stones in November 2010, but is now down to 23-and-a-half stones after having a gastricband operation last year.
He is also stepping up a fitness regime, has taken nutritional advice and has worked out a programme and variety of techniques to make sure he does not harm himself and has enough energy and nutrients.
