A Public Health England survey of around 5000 people has shown that more than 40% of adults have gained an average of half a stone in weight during the pandemic.

Snacking and comfort eating were given as the main contributor by about half of those who said they were fatter.

PHE are now running a Better Health campaign, which offers free support and guidance on how to lose excess weight and become active using a 12-week plan.
