Professional snooker player Mark Allen, opened up on his incredible weight loss journey inspired by his colleague Ronnie O’Sullivan. By overhauling his lifestyle and shedding four stone, he’s got his sights set on reclaiming his spot among the sport’s elite.
But how did he do it?
In a recent interview, he explained just what he did in order to shed the weight quickly.
“I’ve lost almost four stone and hopefully that continues,” he said.
“I’d been thinking about it for a long time. I’ve been on diets in the past, but have fallen off the wagon.”
But cutting back on calories has been a challenge, as he added: “Just really, really watching what I’m eating.
“Cut down portions, just really retraining my brain, get in a different mindset and hardly eating anything.

Fitness expert Will Torres, revealed: “An average spin class burns between 400 and 600 calories.
“Spin three times a week and you torch up to 1,800 calories, but a pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories.”
John went on to reach five finals and Mark hopes it’ll give him that same boost.
“Hopefully it does the same for me because I still have a burning desire to win tournaments,” he told Metro.
“If I didn’t have that then I wouldn’t still be playing.”
