    Love all the shows mentioned. Secret eaters is the best. We were all guilty of it!

    Yeah, it's ace. Everyone is guilty of it (me included) but some of the people on there are taking the p*ss. The faces on some of them when they see the footage of them having sneaky snacks when they leave the house is priceless. :laugh:

    Lol when i hear them say i only eat around 1200 cals i immediately think...you don't lol.

    Yeah. I loved the fella who couldn't believe he was overweight yet he would have a big breakfast, a mid morning snack and then a 'pie sandwich'. A f*cking pie sandwich like?! :laugh:

    I know!! That was shocking lol :laugh: :ohwell:
    I absolutely loved pie sandwich man, he had a serious dedication to carbs :laugh:

    I reckon Secret Eaters would have been an eye-opener for my mother if she'd ever taken part. When I was younger my brothers and sister and I used to wonder how she had ever managed to get fat because she never ate large amounts at mealtimes. But she drank 12-13 cups of tea a day... with one heaped tsp of sugar and a few ml of milk per cup. And mid-morning and late evening she would have a slice of buttered bread to go with the tea, along with a biscuit in mid-afternoon. This, in addition to her 3 meals a day, was enough over time to add up to a significant weight gain.

    I've been watching it on youtube the last 10 days or so, at least one episode a day. It scares me straight to never want to be that supersized. So in that regard it is an effective motivator. I like seeing them succeed at the end with their 3 month goal. The first baby steps are important.

    Pie as a filling. Take 1 pie or pasty, place between 2 slices of bread, eat!

    Also Pie Barm, pie inside soft bread roll

    I'm in the UK and I've never missed an episode. I also hate that they changed the format from 7 days to 3, but I do like how they send the supersizer to the US to meet someone who is much bigger and has serious complications, it just really shocks them.

    I've always failed to understand how some people "don't understand" how they are so big when they eat constantly and their snacks are full meals. But the superskinnies are even harder to understand. Last week there was a girl who made meals for her child, then "forgot" to eat. Really, how do you forget to eat when you've just stood and cooked something?!

    I've got to say though, my favourite shows are Obese a Year to Save My Life and Fat the Fight of My Life with Jessie Pavelka. Some of those guys do amazing things.

    I like this show series 7 episode 3 just came out. ( Youtube look for ermmtv2) If you like this show I would highly recommend watching Secret Eaters. Both of them can be found on 4OD (UK). I use a proxy to circumvent the regional restrictions on youtube and the official website for 4OD. My favorite proxy no longer work in conjunction with Youtube but not their website. If you haven't watched Secret Eaters it is a must.

    Every "reality" show is staged.

    But one thing that absolutely isn't is the basic premise; the focal points of each show absolutely concentrate on someone who is "supersized" and "superskinny".

    This show is unbelievable. I am so addicted to it I have watched seasons 6 and 7 and now starting season 5. The perspective from Britain is pretty interesting.
