Chris Rouse, 31, has lost 45 kilos after learning to like vegetables from a hipnotist. Mr Rouse didn't eat vegetables for 24 years because he hated them. He was a professional cyclist till he was 20 but quit and started adding an obscene amount of weight.
A year ago Chris Rouse weighed 166 kilos, was repulsed by the thought of eating vegetables, never exercised and would happily polish off a family-sized block of chocolate before bed.
Fed up with his weight,the 31-year-old father of three from Perth in Western Australia went to a hypnotherapist to make him enjoy vegetables.
He now eats them by the plateful and has lost 49 kilograms.
He still wants to lose another 25 kilograms and is determined to get under the 100 kilogram mark
'I spent most of my 20s between 130 and 160 kilos,' Chris told Daily Mail Australia.
'I kept eating like I did when I was an athlete which was upwards of 6,000 calories a day.'
Hating vegetables didn't help his waist line once he ditched exercise.
