The nicely nicely approach doesn’t work with a lot of people. The characters in the show really needed to man up! Crying because they don’t like vegetables, what planet was that girl on? She just told them to get on on with it and it worked. Sometimes you have to be honest with people. And if you are obese you have plenty of reserves. They had plenty of vegetables and fruits to keep them going and for vitamins and minerals. The lady that runs this boot camp said it herself it is only for a week and to kick start people on a healthy diet and get used to exercise again. I think they give them a diet plan for when they leave.
I thought it was a good programme. You can watch it on catch up I think if you have missed it.
It’s sending a dangerous message. Crash diet for quick results, that can be hard to stop once you see the results😣5 -
I agree with Marialuisa72 - people who are overweight (and I include myself in that category) have often lost sight of what a 'normal' portion size is. A normal portion of cereal is 40g - how many of us eat triple that on a regular basis?!
This programme acted as a short sharp shock to people who had lost track of what they were eating - and they believed that they NEEDED this amount of food to exist. The week away showed them that they didn't. And also showed them that if they didn't eat so much they would lose the weight they were 'desperate' to lose!
Yes its not sustainable for long term but the human body CAN survive without food so long as it has water/fluid. We have so much information these days about how to eat that I think we have forgotten the basics and that we dont need as much as we think1 -

Surviving isn't thriving though. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD or that it's GOOD.
These shows definitely push bad habits if done long term. I'm confused whether this one even has an attending physician.
I don't really care if someone does this stuff for a week. That's on them. But I worry about people doing it a week every month. Or more. And I agree it would deter from losing weight in a sustainable way since you would always have the memory of how hard that week was.3 -
Anyone know where I could find full episodes online?0
