Success Stories

See for yourself how sundiet has helped some people.

Damian Callaghan

I joined the gym for two reasons. Firstly, I was getting married and secondly I was about to turn 30 and for the first time in my life became conscious of my age and my fitness. I had trained in the past but due to ongoing back problems had given up.

I had quite specific requirements. I wanted to improve my health and, although this sounds quite vain, improve my physique. The first person I spoke to at 24hrgym was Vince. He had a vast amount of knowledge and experience. One of the things that appealed to me was the nutritional course and the diet side as well as the training. He showed me pictures of other members who had changed their physique dramatically.

I also read the history of the gym on their website and came to the conclusion that if I was going to achieve my goals it wasn’t going to be with high-tech equipment and fancy steam rooms but knowledge and experience.

I took the calorie and protein course and started measuring my food straight away. I was put on a month-long fitness course to get used to using my muscles again. It proved to me that weight control/loss was very much down to how I had been taught to prepare my food.

I am currently eating four times a day, 400 calories per meal, and as near to 30 grams of protein per meal as possible. I am never hungry as I am eating more regularly than I used to. So far, I have lost 1 stone 7lbs.

Mark Daniels

I have been body building for 18 years in various gyms. I have always wanted to be as big as possible, however being of slender build and 5 feet 11inches tall I found this hard.

I have known Vince and Vern Montgomery for a few years, and as a result was introduced to the sundiet devised by them. It was very easy to follow; I wondered if I really could cut back all the fat and see all the muscle appear. I started the diet and after 13 weeks I was over 2 stone lighter and hit my target weight of 10 stone 4lbs.

Vince and Vern arranged for a professional photographer for the day. On the day of the shoot it was my son's third birthday, we had some pictures taken together, these have given us a lasting memory to look back on in years to come.

I would like to thank Vince and Vern for all the help and support they gave me.

David Hawkins

When I started the sundiet my waist measurement was 40 inches and I weighed 16 stone.
In seven months I dropped to 11 stone 10 pounds. My calorie intake was 2,500 to start with but was reduced to 2,000.
I found this diet the most effective way of losing weight fast, making it easy to maintain a healthy weight after reaching the goal.
This diet is very easy to follow and maintain and I would recommend it to anyone. It has been a life-changing experience for me. I know I will never be fat again because of what I have learned through the sundiet. Now I can lose weight, maintain or gain weight whenever I wish, because I know how, and it's so very easy to do.

Gareth Naffine

After approximately eight years of working out at various gyms I reached a flat point of my training. That was until the staff at the 24hrgym introduced me to their fantastic healthy eating plan known as the sundiet.

This diet educates you on bad eating habits and introduces new eating practices. It contains set levels of calories and protein in several meals a day allowing you to enjoy a variety of your favourite foods in substantial quantities. Basically, I cut out evil junk foods and enjoyed the occasional treats.

Whilst following the healthy eating plan I worked out at the gym on a regular basis undertaking more cardiovascular activities and in only 14 weeks I plummeted from 13stone 6lbs to 10stone 3lbs.

I never would have dreamed I had so much extra weight to lose and would recommend this to anyone as I am so pleased with my results.

Mark Simpson

My introduction to the sundiet came after three months of trying to diet and listening to numerous experts telling me what would work.

I wasn't sure exactly what to eat and I certainly didn't know how much of it to eat. I had lost a small amount of weight but was getting nowhere fast.

Vern Montgomery introduced me to the sundiet. The theory was well-reasoned and logical and was backed up by years of research and results. It was like someone switching on a light for me, I could see where I was going.

I managed my calories in and calories out for the next three months. I put some structure and control into my diet. I controlled my food, not the other way round.

I understood what a calorie meant and what it did, the effects of too many and equally not enough. I lost in excess of 5 stone but the beauty of the sundiet is you can go as far with it as you want.

I am now able to control my weight to support my training. I stay within 10lb of my ideal weight and confidently know the way back should I become a little lost.

Paul Carroll

I have been training for two years and although I have trained hard and kept to a strict nutritional regime, I was struggling to achieve the shape I desired.

I was consuming good quality foods and supplements and my training programme was solid. However, I lacked the knowledge of calories and their importance when controlling weight and body shape. So, I consulted the guys from the sundiet.

Since undertaking the sundiet I have realised that controlling calorie intake is fundamental to maintaining a certain body weight. Furthermore, as well as achieving the shape and look I was after, I gained knowledge allowing me to reach the required shape/weight relevant to my training goals.

By completing the sundiet programme I have found my body looking better than before and I have been able to improve my workouts, leading to better results.

Not only am I in better condition than before, I have, more importantly, gained the knowledge and skills required to tailor my diet around my training goals.

Phil Eshworthy

When I started the sundiet I weighed in at 19 stone 5lbs.

I was told that the whole concept was easy and I found this surprisingly so. I quickly learned all about calories, what they do and how many I actually needed.

I went on 2,000 calories to start with but then reduced them to 1,600. I lost 7 stone in eight months. I continue to live on the sundiet now I have reached my goal. I feel better than I have ever felt, I have more energy, I feel fit and healthy. I just feel great. I took tablets daily for two years to help with a stomach condition, one month into the sun diet I stopped taking them, and have not needed them since. I have confidently recommended this diet to many people.

Scott Lucas

I am 29 and have been training on and off since I was 16. It was about seven years ago that I started to take it more seriously. Over the years I mainly trained alone. I read books and listened to people, picking things up on the way.

I've always had a keen interest in diet and nutrition, however the advice I was given helped me to understand the concept and importance of calories much more than I had done previously and it gave me the edge I needed.

With this help and starting off at 13 stone, I achieved my goal, (which was to build muscle, lose body fat and, therefore, gain definition) and finished off 2 stone lighter. The experience was unforgettable.

I am proud of my achievement and am often saddened to see others (despite trying to share what I have learnt) try so hard yet fail to reach their targets.

The best part of all is that by maintaining healthy eating throughout the week, I can afford to treat myself at weekends. Two years on I've still maintained a good physique and am very grateful for all the advice that was given.
