The 40 Day Health Challenge has been a HUGE success, including a great result for our own Colm Hayes shedding 12lbs!
The makers of TV show "Operation Transformation" teamed up with The Irish Sun and Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio for the new online health series to kick off 2025 with meal plans, exercises and mental health tips all available at 40dayhealthchallenge.ie.
16 challengers worked with GP Dr Sumi Dunne, clinical psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy, personal trainer Karl Henry and dietitian Sophie Pratt for six weeks with over 40,000 people from across the country joining in and following the plan online to start the New Year on the right foot.
The 40 days culminated with a LIVE simulcast online and on air hosted by Trina Mara with Colm Hayes, joking with the Irish Sun that he will be “Benjamin Button” within a year as he’s determined to keep going with the plan.
The delighted radio co-host of "Colm & Lucy in the Morning" told the paper, “My metabolic age is 66, but if I drop that far in 40 days, in the next 40 days, I think I can drop it below. Obviously, when you get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. During the day, your energy levels would dip. Sometimes you'd have a nap and that. In the 40 days, I never had a nap. I'm using that time to work on other projects that I've always put aside.”
Colm's visceral fat also decreased from 19 to 16 during the 40 Day Health Challenge and you can watch and hear all his good news in the video link below.
