Secret Eaters

[LingDiLong]

Just watching this for the first time and I'm staggered!! They fill out a food diary and then they go through 'surveillance' where they see what they actually, really eat. They basically go on the show because they don't understand where they're going wrong with their eating. So this couple have put down on their diaries that they eat 1,700 calories and she's actually eating 2,900 and the bloke put down 2,700 and is eating 6,000!!

They're so shocked when they go over the surveillance. I'm fascinated. I'm certainly guilty of fooling myself that things like finishing off the kids tea don't count calorie-wise but this is a whole new level! Anyone else watch this?

First time I've caught this - think it'll be my new guilty viewing pleasure!

The sheer volume of food being eaten on here was enough to kill my hunger dead, which doesn't often happen.

Oh is it a new series?

Probably not - it doesn't say which series it is but it's on More4 now. It's new to me though!

It's shocking how in denial they say they are. I mean you don’t forget that you ate a mcdonalds in the car or went to harvester and had three meals. The odd scrap here and there is easy to not count but they eat SO much!

Yes, the bloke in particular I was amazed at! He'd made himself a 'healthy' breakfast of muesli with semi skimmed milk. And cream. And jam. And a banana. It was over 1,000 calories! They'd lost weight at the end though which was good.
