[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 410215"] My thoughts ... it's hard to put myself in the position of viewers who know far less than we do, but, first and foremost, it was 'entertainment', hence the focus on forcing the 'shakers' to see what the other team were eating, and close-ups of 'brealdowns' etc. There was zero mention of exercise at all. There wasn't even a walk to the shops. The one lady who was 'cured' (i.e. was no longer diabetic) still looked to me as though she might still be carrying a lot of excess fat around her internal organs which the doctors focussed on as a key problem in the first place. Overall, the programme lacked a shock factor, apart from a photo of a gangrenous foot with toes missing. I can't see the programme making any difference to anyone watching it. From a cynic's point of view, I suspect that we will be seeing more of the dietician from now on with a possible book release & TV. Newcastle University has added further justification for the funding of its MRI unit and equipment, but why no input from elsewhere, such as Loughborough where there is a body of knowledge of food and diet and where most top sports people go to train.
