    Just watched Part 4. So it seems I have to eat healthy food to lose weight. :laugh:

    Yep, for us on MFP no surprise, but from the programmes it seems many think they can eat pie & chips every meal, do half an hour in a gym once a week and all will be well

    That is true.

    Well I disagree with the program, and weight watchers, and slimfast.

    They are not sustainable ways to live your life, and you should realise they are just trying to make as much money as they can.

    It doesn't matter if SOME have been successful - it is definitely not the way to go about learning better eating habits and about food, etc.

    I just caught up with the series - and it was this for me.
    The science was a little off, but the message was pretty much fine. Diet pills, programs etc are designed to only work for as long as you keep paying for them, and often they're too low in calories and nutritional content to be sustainable.
    I don't see why we watched all those episodes just for them to say
    "Eat things in moderation, don't follow a low calorie diet, exercise where you can, and you'll live a great life"

    It was sort of common sense. :/
