Simon’s slimmed-down look is a result of adrastic changein his diet. In October 2017, he decided to ditch his unhealthy eating habits, which consisted of sausage rolls, hamburgers, and jam tarts, to convert to veganism. He has since lost 20 lbs (9 kilos).
“Within 24 hours, I changed my diet, and I’ve not looked back since. You feel better, you look better,” he said.
“I cut out a lot of the stuff I shouldn’t have been eating, and that was primarily meat, dairy, wheat, sugar — those were the four main things.”
