when i first started on mfp back in jan 2011 someone posted a very informative video series.
it was such an eye-opener about obesity in the usa & uk. it was a very clinical documentary. not gross.
the most informative part was the autopsy they did on an overweight woman. it showed how the fat sufficates our organs.
i need to see that video series again to keep me motivated. but i cant remember the name of it.
i think the guy in the video was british or scottish. the autopsy was done by a german scientist.
they even profiled what funeral homes have to go thru with the overweight bodies.
does anyone have the link to it? i thought it was on you tube.
or does anyone know the name of the documentary??
i thought it was something like dying fat.
thanks
(& i apologize if i may have offended you or grossed you out. that was not my intention)

    it is very motivational! it was done as a documentary. very professional & clinical. not gross or morbid.
    it was extremely informative on what the inside of your body looks like with all that extra fat.
    did you know that fat even gets into our veins? its called vistrial fat. i never knew that before, till this video.
    i tried searching for it today.
    i think it was called DEAD FAT. it was hosted by Stephen Nolan on BBC (he's from Ireland).
    Now if i could just find the video. it was on you tube in 4-5 parts. but all i can find now is just highlights of it.
    if anyone can find it online for me, please let me know. i would really like a copy of it.
    thanks!

    If you find out, I'd like to know.


    Sometimes I imagine how embarrassing dying this fat would be. Terrible.

    THANK YOU! ~Now to find the whole thing & not just the intro....

    this documentary really hit home for me, because the autopsy on the woman looked exactly like me!! (& im 15 years younger)
    I want to see the whole thing in entirety again.

    Anybody know how i can buy it or see it again??
    the remainder of the video is removed from you tube now i guess. what a shame.
