Paul Sinha – 28 lbs

Beloved British TV personality Paul Sinha gave up his medical career out of his love for quizzes, comedy, and TV. Being a Chaser on The Chase, he too lost some pounds just like his fellow Chasers. His diabetes also factored in on his decision to shed the excess stone.

As a doctor, the 50-year-old Sinha knew the toll his illness could take on his life, so he joined ITV’s documentary Fast Fix: Diabetes. There, he followed an 800-calorie per day diet, which helped him lose 28 pounds. Sadly, it’s been confirmed that Sinha won’t be part of the new spinoff Beat The Chasers because of his ailment.
