Supersize vs Superskinny

Those of you in the UK may well have seen the recent Channel 4 program Supersize Vs Superskinny.

The basic idea is that you take two people, one very under weight and one very over weight, put them in the same house for 5 days and have them eat what the other person normally eats.

The aim being to get each to understand their own eating issues. Other aspects of the program focus on trying out weight loss methods outside of the normal diet only approach. This week the reporter for this segment, Anna Richardson, tried out hypnosis. I give a full explanation of what went on in my video but suffice to say that it worked and as well as losing 3lbs in weight that week she also cleared all the fatty foods from her cupboard.

The surprise for me was not the program itself but the fact that in the two days following I had eight calls, all for weight loss. It just goes to show the power of television for both good and bad.
