The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan recently released a new report that has revealed many Brits have gained weight during lockdown.

Almost half of Brits (47%) say they have put on weight, according to the UK Lockdown Diet Report by The 1:1 Diet byCambridgeWeight Plan.

Known more commonly as the Cambridge Diet for years, the 1:1 diet aims to achieve rapid weight loss through meal replacement shakes, soups and snack bars.

The health plan dates back to the 1960s and was devised by Dr Alan Howard, aCambridge Universitybiochemist - hence the name.

The new report found that increased alcohol intake (35%), comfort eating (24%) and lack of exercise (17%) were key factors behind the weight gain.

p.s. And for the record, we think you're doing a grand job.

The report shows more than half (53%) of Brits stockpiled foods like pasta, chocolate and crisps, with only 13 per cent stockpiling frozen fruits and vegetables.

The diets of millennials have been most affected, with 59 per cent of respondents saying they have gained weight during lockdown, and 16% of all questioned putting on five pounds or more.

Despite the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak instigating wider conversations around the nation's health and the importance of a balanced lifestyle, 30 per cent of Brits are still unaware of the risks associated with obesity and COVID-19, which have been recognised in recent research by Edinburgh University and Imperial College London.

However, the research shows that Brits are already planning to reduce their weight gain, with 30 per cent intending to take immediate action - by either increasing their exercise (45%), changing their current eating habits (41%) and even reducing their alcohol intake (21%).

And while lockdown is causing lots of Brits to turn to food for comfort, its implications on our health is not going unnoticed. 48% of people say their overall attitude towards their health has been affected by the outbreak, with many previously taking their health for granted or are now planning to make considerable changes to their lifestyle as a result.

Experts are warning that if people continue to fall into unhealthy habits it could lead many of them to gain significant weight after lockdown is lifted.

Jane DeVille-Almond, chair of The British Obesity Society said: "Recent evidence has highlighted the added risk of complications from Covid-19 for those carrying excess weight but still people are piling on the pounds during lockdown. It's not surprising, many of us turn to food and drink when we are anxious, stressed or simply bored.

"However, in many ways there has never been a better time to think about changing our lifestyle, we have had the time to eat better, plan our meals better and exercise more.

"There is no magic pill for gaining a healthier weight, but it does take effort and commitment.

"If you are concerned about your weight don't wait for lockdown to finish before you start making changes as that's simply another excuse for never getting started."
