SPERSIZE V SUPERSKINNY - TUESDAY CH4 8PM

[Blondeshavemorefun]

love this programme

proves to me it is just as bad to be overweight as it is to be underweight

26stone philippa v 6 stone gillian tonight

yes looking forward to this its a real eye opener and i love dr jessen one hot doc !!!

Yay!!!!!!!! I love Dr Jessen's soothing voice. How could you not heed his advice?

ok - i wasnt going to mention the doctor, but yes he is CUTE

would love to have him in his underwear

both of their diets are crap

skinny one doesnt eat and seems to drink too much coke

and fat one - has dreadful diet!!

I'd forgotten about this, I'll watch on +1

I'm not sure what it's supposed to do though as they always both have dreadful diets.
I hate that it shows both extremes and neither have maintained their weights with healthy lifestyles.
I say this as a size six who eats normally.

think it tries to show that both eating nothing and eating too much is bad and you need to find a happy medium

and darn that man is cute!!!

It is one of those "let's state the bleedin' obvious" programmes. Eating a lot makes you fat! Eating not much makes you thin! Who knew?

Although admittedly am not watching this episode. Seen it lots of times before and that seems to be the general way it goes every week.

That plastic surgery place in America was plain scary. The nurse with the post-op black eyes - aaagh!

i just caught up on this on catch up.

have to say that the thin girl was made to look worse by making her suck it all in so you could see her ribs and spine more prominently. I thought she looked good actually other lady looked better afterwards and seemed so much happier too

the small lady looked fab after puting on weight i was so happy for her.
i think the whole point of this programme is that its designed to shock both parties into doing something abut the way they eat.

I agree with whitenoise about the skinny girl, she doesn't walk around like that does she? i.e. sucking herself in so hard as to almost turn inside out, to show her ribcage etc. That picture on the wall of her was very misleading. Also, I'm quite about the claim that she eats 325 or whatever calories a day. She's a working Mum of 2 kids, if she really ate that few calories, surely she'd not only not be able to function day to day but wouldn't she be in hospital? How has she stayed at 6st 8lbs eating so few calories? I would have thought she'd weigh less even than that.

it is possible to eat that few cals on average and still function.(prob because of the "sugar" in diet coke)

Her metabolism will have adjusted to cope with what she eats and the weight may well have been dropping off her and we just weren't told.

The slow metabolism explains how she put on some much weight in that space of time. Normally the skinny one gets all excited about putting on 5lbs in three months. I could put on a stone in an afternoon!
