Stuart Bingham’s Remarkable Weight Loss Journey
In a surprising turn of events, former world snooker champion Stuart Bingham has undergone a significant transformation through a weight loss journey involving weekly injections. This week, the 49-year-old Ball Run revealed how he felt “a million dollars” after shedding over three stone in weight.
The Weight Loss Journey
Bingham began his journey with a hefty 18 stone and has since slimmed down to a more healthy 15 stone. The transformation was not just about aesthetics; it also brought relief from physical ailments such as knee pain and sciatica. Speaking exclusively to sunsport, Bingham shared, “I felt good.
Funnily enough I had a bit of knee trouble and a bit of sciatica. By losing that weight, all the aches and pains, slowly and gradually, went away.” The former 2015 world snooker champion has been using Mounjaro self-injectable pens to suppress his appetite.
Christmas Indulgences and Dietary Challenges
Bingham’s weight loss journey was not without its challenges. He admits that he had to be cautious about his diet, especially during Christmas lunch. “Where I should normally call it a day, I dig my heels in and plough through the meal,” Bingham explained. “It might make me ill for a couple of days after, but it is worth it.” Despite this, the snooker star indulged in traditional Christmas foods like Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets, reflecting on his previous habits. “For Christmas Day, we got some fresh meat from the butchers,” Bingham added. “It is one of those where I get halfway through dinner now and then I’m full up.”
Impact on Snooker Game
Beyond physical health, Bingham’s weight loss has also positively impacted his performance on the snooker table. He reached the final of the Shoot Out in Blackpool this year but lost out to unranked Alfie Burden. Nevertheless, the 2020 Masters champion is optimistic about turning the corner with renewed vigor for the upcoming season. “I feel like I have turned a corner with my game,” Bingham said confidently. “My expectations for 2026 are like every year. I want to try to get my hands on a trophy.” Bingham will participate in the three-day JenningsBet Seniors British Open in Derby, which is being screened live on Channel 5.
Future Prospects and Goals
The journey for Stuart Bingham has been both physical and emotional. He acknowledges that maintaining his new lifestyle requires discipline but remains committed to his goals. “Not sure what I have got left in the game,” he admitted, adding, “But then I had a good week in Blackpool and it all changed.” Bingham’s renewed focus on fitness and snooker suggests he is eager to reclaim his position as one of the sport’s top players.
With the new year approaching, Stuart Bingham hopes to continue making strides both off and on the table. His journey serves as an inspiration for many who are looking to make significant changes in their lives through dedicated effort and support from medical professionals like those who prescribed Mounjaro to him.
