How 2 Canadian women say they lost weight eating only Tim Hortons for 1 month
Global News
The new documentary 'Would You Eat A Donut A Day' chronicles how two New Brunswick women ate only Tim Hortons food for a month and still lost weight.
Ever wonder what it’d be like to eat a donut every day? Josée Cormier and Alicia Stafford of Your Way Weight Loss recently gave it a try for an entire month.
“The honey cruller was my favourite. Between the two of us, we ate 125 donuts in February,” said Stafford, executive leader of the Moncton-based weight loss brand.
Thursday night, their self-produced documentary Would You Eat A Donut A Day? premiered at the Capitol Theatre in Moncton to more than 500 in attendance. The evening also featured a Q&A session with the two answering questions from audience members.
Cormier and Stafford built up interest for the documentary by posting daily updates to their 270,000 followers on TikTok during the filming period.
The movie, created with help from Madhouse Creative Productions, documents their 28-day journey of eating nothing but Tim Hortons for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Cormier, the founder of Your Way Weight Loss, said one of the main messages of the documentary is to prove that weight loss can be accessible to anyone. She also hopes it can bring awareness to how creating a calorie deficit can be the determining factor in a successful diet.
Contrary to popular belief, Cormier and Stafford said they lost weight from their Tim Hortons-specific diet.
“We ended up losing a lot of weight during the month of February, eating 2000 calories of Tim Hortons every day, so that’s a fun conversation right there,” Cormier said.
