Description
Supersize vs Superskinny is the ultimate magazine show about food, weight and body image. Each hour-long programme features a short diet swap between two contributors – all of whom have been medically assessed prior to filming - with wildly contrasting eating habits. The show sees a superskinny undereater swap diet and lifestyle with an overweight overeater. The participants couldn’t be more different in their attitudes towards food, but soon discover they are both putting their health in danger with their current diet and lifestyle. The aim of the five day swap is to make them realise they both have a dysfunctional relationship with food – that eating too much is just as bad as undereating. The swap kicks start a whole new regime of balanced and healthy eating that is meant to re-educate them and transform their relationship with food and weight. After the swap, the contributors both embark on a medically supervised healthy eating regime. At the end we discover if the two contributors have changed their bad eating habits for good.
