Teenage Dad Who Eats 13 Bowls of Cereal with 140 Spoons of Sugar Daily Calls for Help

A 19-year-old dad of one, Phillip Patrick, who eats 13 bowls of cereal topped with almost 140 spoons of sugar daily is pleading for help to overcome his addiction. Phillip who has reportedly eaten an estimated 14,235 bowls in three years, consumes six boxes of cereal and 15 pints of milk a week. He also consumes a 5kg bag of sugar every nine days with regular consumption of tea, which also contains lots of sugar.

According to DailyMail, Phillip’s weight has soared by four stones in the past three years to an unhealthy 15 stone and his bizarre diet has left him with barely enough energy to walk up the stairs.

His addiction has already cost him his job in a local pub as he found it impossible to stand up all day and experts have warned it could cause him to develop cancer or heart disease.

Phillip, who is now seeking help to overcome his addiction, said:

‘I know I’m still young but I’m not getting any younger and I need to be better for my son. I used to be quite an active lad, playing football, cycling and running, but now I’ve got no energy. I struggle to walk up the stairs because I’m so out of breath. It has become a habit now. It’s part of my daily lifestyle. I’ve been doing it every day for three years. I need to get my life back – I could die from it.

It was really affected my life. 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.’
