Rugby legend and weight-loss poster boy Buck Shelford admits his drastic dieting went too far - and now he has had to put some of the weight back on.
The former All Black No 8 joined Jenny Craig 18 months ago to shed the extra kilos he'd piled on after two decades in the hospitality trade. But when he got down to his All Black weight of 20 years ago - 108kg, a loss of 22kg - he had to reassess.
"I got too light, I was looking too skinny and gaunt," Shelford said.
"My friends told me I was too skinny, I was looking old and drawn in the face."
The 54-year-old is now much happier around 113kg.
