Secret Eaters
S01: E06 - Ronnie and Stuart
This week, it’s engaged couple Ronnie Derrett and Stuart Ellaway from Farnborough, who want our help to solve the riddle of why they’re putting on weight. Ronnie says she cooks fresh meals most evenings and only snacks on healthy foods and Stuart thinks he eats a healthy balanced diet and doesn’t know where the extra weight is coming from.
Will revealing the truth of what they’re really eating be the eye-opener they need to stick to a ten-week healthy eating regime designed by an expert dietician to help them win their battle with the bulge?
Plus, across the series we’ve been exposing the difference between what we’re told and what we’re sold by the food industry, and there have been hints and tips for viewers on how not to over-eat. In this final episode we’ll test the theory that the shape of the glass you use to drink from could affect your weight. Research suggests that we are likely to pour as much as 74% more into shorter tumblers than if you used taller, thinner glasses.
