A soup-and-shake diet will be rolled out to more regions including West Yorkshire after a study found it helped obese people shed more than 2st in three months.

More than 2,000 patients with Type 2 diabetes have taken part in the NHS soups and shakes diet programme, each losing 7.2kg (1st 1lb) on average after one month and 13.4kg (2st 1lb) after three months.

NHS England said new data suggests people are able to keep the weight off over time. Three months after stopping soups and shakes, people were able to maintain their weight loss.
