"I lost 7st walking a hour a day after being fat shamed while playing football"

SWNS

A mum told she was "the biggest girl" on the football field at school lost seven stone by walking an hour a day.   Mallory King, 32, tipped the scales at 15st 7lbs and was a US size 18 after growing up "living off" fast food and using food to cope with her parents' divorce.  She had a "wake up call" after being told by doctors she'd end up with the same health problems as her family if she didn't change her lifestyle.  Mallory managed to lose 7st 2lbs in 18 months by calorie counting and walking up to an hour a day.  Since then the mum has gone onto have her son, nine, and daughter, two, and now maintains a healthy weight of 11st 3lbs and a US size eight.

00:30If you're struggling to eat in a calorie deficit or lose weight, here's something I recommend

00:43you try.

00:44During my postpartum journey, I haven't seen much of a change on the scale, but I've seen

00:49major changes in my body.

00:51And this is because I focused on something called body recomposition.

00:55Body recomposition is the process of simultaneously building muscle and losing fat.

01:00To do this, you need to be eating around maintenance calories, eating enough protein, and progressively

01:05overloading in your training.

01:07Because you're eating around maintenance calories, it tends to be a lot easier for you to adhere

01:11to.

01:12Now, the only cons to body recomposition is that it does take a little bit longer than

01:15obviously doing a weight cut or eating at a calorie deficit and just losing weight.

01:20But I would say it's worth it because it's a lot more enjoyable of a process and you're

01:24building more muscle.
