It does not look like it is on iPlayer anymore. I have set up a reminder on Sky and when it is next I will let you know.
It looks like it's going to be repeated on Saturday 7 July at 10pm
10 Things You Need To Know About Losing Weight
Saturday 7th July at 10.00pm on Really
Sky Channel 248, Virgin TV 267, Freeview 20
Going to have to Plus that, as this was the programme that seeded my weight-loss when I first watched it back in 2010 (although it took me another 18 months and a lecture from my best friend to get my *kitten* in gear).0 -
I like this summary, it is true. Thanks for posting.0

This is really interesting, thanks for posting!0

I watched this first time round and was fascinated by the mixture of common sense and cutting-edge science. The counting calories accurately point is absolutely the basis behind most people's weight gain and subsequent loss. So many people complain they don't eat much and blame slow metabolisms when in fact they down far more calories than they think. It was certainly my problem! Secret Eaters focusses on this exclusively, and often people consume more than twice what they record based on portion size, sneaky nibbles and unrecorded drinks.0

6) Soup keeps you fuller for longer
Hunger pangs are caused by the stomach shrinking after it has been emptied of food.
Two groups of army trainees were given the same, exact food and the same amount. Chicken, rice, carrots, peas and a glass of water. The yellow group ate this normally on a plate.
However, the red group had their food & water blended into a soup.
An hour after the meal, the groups' stomachs were scanned using an ultrasound scanner to see how big the stomach was. At one hour, the yellow groups' stomach was already 60% the size it was at the beginning, but the red team's was at 90%.
At 2 hours, the yellow team's was at 40%, the red group still at 70%.
At 3 hours, the yellow groups' was empty, but the red team's was at 40%.
Finally after 4 hours, is when the red teams' stomachs were finally empty.
The results showed that the soup stayed in the stomachs for longer, due to the water being blended in and not being able to drain, because as it drains, it leaves the less space-occupying solid food, which is what occurred in the yellow groups' stomachs. This means soup can stave off hunger for at least an hour longer due to the fact the stomach is still occupied for that much longer.
Yeah I heard this soup one before but couldn't remember the details
I have to say that drinking water DOES NOT make me feel less hungry as many have suggested it should - this soup thing is different though and very interesting0 -
Edit: Sorry for posting twice. The server was a bit slow...0

Portion sizes vary. Only today I tried a new cereal from Aldi (basically their take on crunchy nut clusters) and the portion size on the box is 30g which when measured out was barely 3 spoonfuls - a regular cereal bowl actually contained 140g almost 5 times as much and at 141 Calories a portion that's a whopping 658 Calories a bowl!
And the misconception that certain foods are ok because they are good for us, which in the programme saw actress Debbie Chazen put away a kilo of fresh fruit salad every morning, not realising just how many calories it contained.0 -
Remember seeing this a while back, thanks for posting it.
As much as I hate counting calories and find it a really tedious thing to do it definatley works, otherwise I think I'm eating healthy and keep a 'mental check' of what I'm eating but bad habits with chocolate etc creep back in really quickly, ig I count them it just keeps me mindful of what I'm eating0 -
I watched this documentary a while back too. I found it really interesting!
Thanks for posting it! I'm definitely going to save this information!!!0 -
