Ok, I know I said I wasn't going to watch any more of this series after the Vic Reeves episode. However, as last night's programme was about weight loss I thought I would give it another chance.

As it turns out it was pretty reasonable, with questions that were worth asking and same fairly solid advice. If those MRI scan images of the fat congregating around the internal organs didn't scare the bejeesus out of you then I don't know what would.

Still, I think they could have done a bit better in some areas:

Is it my metabolism? It's good that they debunked the myth that being overweight necessarily results from a slow metabolism. However, the fact remains that the higher your metabolism, the more energy that you will burn. Your basic metabolic rate isn't fixed, you can increase it with exercise and the right nutritional habits.

Can keeping a track of what we eat make a difference? To my mind they got this and the bit about portion size all a bit back to front. If you are going to lose weight then you have to establish a calorie deficit. That means that your meals have to be planned with this in mind and this dictates your portion size. You eat exactly what you've served up and that's all you eat.

Filling foods and the soup diet. Reasonable advice, but why no mention of the benefits of frequent small meals? With frequent small meals with a high protein content then you're not going to get seriously hungry between meals and there is no need to liquidise what would otherwise have been a tasty offering.

In summary, anyone who was attracted to the ideas put forward in this programme is going to feel quite at home with the nutritional approach taken by Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle and this will help you take it on to the next level.
