WOMAN LOSES 8ST AFTER ENERGY DRINK HABIT NEARLY BLINDS HER
A diabetic who was addicted to energy drinks has lost 8st after doctors warned her habit was blinding her. Over a period of three years, Victoria Stean, 24, guzzled on five energy drinks a day - consuming an astonishing 69 teaspoons of sugar. By the time she was 21, her 5ft 7in frame had ballooned to 19st 7lbs. Confronted with a terrifying future after being told she was going blind, Victoria vowed to shed the weight – and save her eyesight. Now the pretty brunette, of Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, weighs 11st 7lbs after slimming down to a svelte size 10.
