  • September 15, 2017 - Before and after 4. MEET the incredible woman who lost more than ten-and-a-half-stone in just NINE MONTHS after realising her obesity was killing her. Programme manager, Erika Armstrong (33), from Maryland, USA, had been obese her whole life and never fully watched what she ate. She would consume up to a whopping 3,000-calories a day which saw her reach 21st 10Ibs and a UK size 28-30. One day, Erika realised her weight was holding her back and she lived in constant fear of falling seriously ill at an early age so she decided to overhaul her lifestyle and eating habits. Erika started to hit the gym four to five times a week and began eating meals packed with protein, vegetables and healthy carbohydrates. This saw her shrink to 11st 5Ibs and a UK size 10-12. She now consumes as little as 1,000 to 1,200-calories a day. Erika Armstrong / mediadrumworld.com (Credit Image: © Erika Armstrong/mediadrumworld.com via ZUMA Press)

Wang’s fellow travel mates dared her to try it.She took the challenge and to her surprise, declared it delicious.When she returned to the USA she and her roommate D’Asaro started cooking with crickets they bought from a local pet shop. They were soon joined in their culinary experiments by another Harvard student, Meryl Natow, and the trio formed Six Foods.The company is now manufacturing Chirps and hope the product will be the first in a long line of bug-based snacks.They said although most Westerners shudder at the prospect of eating an insect, around two billion people regularly eat bugs as part of their diet.Many insects, crickets included, contain all nine essential amino acids and more magnesium than beef. Insect protein is also sustainable, especially in comparison to traditional meat sources. It takes one gallon of water to produce one pound of insect protein. Almost two thousand gallons of water, by contrast, are needed to produced a half kilo of beef The girls discovered there is a booming cricket farming industry in the US crickets for fish and reptile feed.
