A FRIED chicken addict ate nothing but KFC for a week - and ended up losing weight.

Mike Jeavons loves the greasy fast food and wanted to see if he still enjoyed the meal if he had it seven days straight.

In a "Super Size Me" style experiment, he travelled to his local KFC in Bedfordshire on a daily basis to try out every item on the menu.

The 34-year-old spent 105 over the whole week and consumed an average of 2,000kcal every day.

He was surprised to step on the scales at the end of the "experiment" and find out he had lost 2lbs.

However, it wasn't all good news as his salt intake increased to 150 per cent of his recommended dietary allowance and his fat intake increased to a whopping 250 per cent.

Mike said: I love KFC and wanted to see if Id still love it if it was all I ate for a week.

After I stopped the experiment, the week after I felt constantly thirsty and had headaches. I also really missed KFC.

Its great as an occasional treat, but not something Id recommend eating every day

It was a lot of fun eating all this naughty food. Every day I would be really looking forward to mealtimes.

Its great as an occasional treat, but not something Id recommend eating every day. It was fun to do but I wouldnt want to do it again."

Ingredients such as salt, sugar and fat are sometimes added to processed foods to make their flavour more appealing and to extend their shelf life.

But this can lead to people eating more than their recommended amounts as they may not be aware of how much has been added to the food they are buying and eating, according to the NHS.

Experts warn that regularly consuming foods and drinks high in sugar increases your risk of obesity and tooth decay.

Obesity has been linked to 13 different types of cancer, as well as diabetes,heart diseaseand stroke.

Dietitian Helen Bond said: "If you are obese you are more at risk ofobesity related cancers, you are more at risk of heart diseaseand stroke.

"And also the fat content within junk food is quite high insaturated fats and trans fatsand they can increase the risk of bad cholesterol and over time that is not good news for yourheart health.

"Obesity is also linked to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and also type 2 diabetes.

"In the long-term we know too much salt can cause raises in blood pressure."

On top of that, junk food doesn't contain anywhere near as much fibre as you need to maintain a healthy gut.

"If your diet is very heavily reliant on junk food then it is very difficult to get the 30g of fibre recommended per day," Helen added.

"Your gut bacteria needs food that is nourishing and we are learning more and more about the importance of gut health in relation to things like immunity, to weight to digestive issues.

"For people that have digestive issues where absorption [of vitamins and minerals] is a problem then making sure your gut is as healthy as possible goes hand-in-hand with a high fibre diet.

"There are some people with issues likeirritable bowel syndrome(IBS) where a high fibre diet may cause them problems, but generally people should be eating more of it in our diet."
