Phillip Patrick is eating a staggering 13 bowls of cereal a day topped with a whopping 138 spoons of sugar. The 19-year-old had a healthy and varied diet until he left home three years ago and slipped into bad habits.

But his diet has plunged to a new low, and the dad-of-one only eats cereal - mostly Weetabix and cornflakes - topped with an enormous pile of sugar. The youngster reckons he's eaten an estimated 14,235 bowls in three years - and he devours six boxes of cereal and 15 pints of milk a week and a 5kg bag of sugar every nine days. Phillip doesn't help his cause by washing it all down with regular cups of tea - with six sugars.

Phillip, from Worcester, started eating badly when he moved out of home and in with partner Sophie Richold, 19. His diet includes two bowls in the morning - each piled high with 10 teaspoons of sugar - then four while he is watching The Bill, before another at 3pm and then 6pm. The young father has up to a further three during the evening - in between Emmerdale, Eastenders and Coronation Street - and then another before he goes to bed. On an average day he consumes around 6,906 calories a day and has piled on around four stone in three years. His carb and sugar overload saw him lose his job working in a bar last year because he didn't have the energy to stand up throughout his shift.

"It was really affected my life," he said. "My sex life too - it used to be regular, but now it's a rare occurrence. "Sophie gets annoyed at me because if we do go out for dinner I'll just have a fudge cake and be done in three minutes. "I've tried to come off it a few times. The last time a couple of months ago I threw my sugar away and I only lasted two days. "As soon as I saw a bag of sugar I had to buy it. I'm usually quite a patient person, and when I have sugar and cereal I'm quite happy. But in between bowls or if I can't have it I can be very, very moody. "I need help to get my life back."
