Series 2, Episode 3
Britain has a big, fat problem. Only America is getting fatter than we are faster than we are.
Though a nation obsessed with our waistlines, for many people huge weight gain is a complete mystery. How are we putting weight on when we’re convinced we live on salad and sparkling water? This series proves just how many of us are in denial about what we eat and hide the extent of our eating from our families and ourselves. For many there is a huge gap between the muesli we admit to and the chicken tikka we eat when the lights are down.
Secret Eaters is back for a second series. Presented by Anna Richardson, the show goes undercover across the UK to find out the truth about how much families really eat. Each week one household – couples, friends or siblings – are put under 24-hour surveillance to discover if they are Secret Eaters.
Using fixed cameras installed inside their home and Private Investigators to track them outside of it; at work, rest or play our cameras will be watching.
All the evidence will be revealed in the Secret Eaters’ Incident Room. Here, each couple will be confronted with the shocking reality of their diet because if they want to lose weight, they really need to know the truth about how they’re putting it on.
Episode 3
This week, David and Denise from Eccles are under the Secret Eaters’ spotlight. Neither thinks they eat enough to warrant their size and are convinced their diet is a healthy one. Yet their passion for rich sauces and plentiful portions seem to suggest otherwise as does David’s determination to clear every last morsel on his plate – despite having a gastric band.
Once they learn the shocking truth of what they’re really eating, will they be able to stop blaming each other for their ever-widening waistbands, stick to a healthy eating plan and win their battle of the bulge?
And when it comes to eating, once we pop most of us can’t stop. So in this episode our secret cameras won’t just be concentrating David and Denise’s dietary downfalls, we’ll also be laying mischievous and tasty traps for the public proving just how easy it is for us ALL to succumb to secret eating.
Could you too be a Secret Eater?
