Supersize vs Superskinny is a British television programme on Channel 4 that features information about dieting and extreme eating lifestyles. One of the main show features is a weekly comparison between an overweight person, and an underweight person. The two are brought to a feeding clinic, and live together for five days, swapping diets all supervised by Dr Christian Jessen. The show also featured Anna Richardson in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series, who examined new methods to lose weight by trying diets she finds on the Internet, some of which have shocking side effects. For example, Anna attempted Laser lipolysis, which went drastically wrong and resulted in severe bruising. Also, she discovered Diabulimia and spoke to Isabelle Caro, a French actress, renowned for her underweight figure and anorexia campaign. During the first series in 2008, one feature involved Gillian McKeith, who tried to find a way to "ban big bums" in the UK. She tested out different exercises to tone the buttocks of different groups of ladies, and made a leader board for the most effective.

One of a kind diet show. It's highly controversial, a lot of people with eating disorders watch it. (Check the comment section of episodes on YouTube) Which is why it ended. For me it was a good show to use more as an eye opener. Thinking more about what you are putting in your mouth, would u make someone else eat what u eat during the day guilt free? They talk about food serving you, repairing you, building you, healing you. Lots of people including superskinny ones on this show lack nutrients. Filling themself up with sugar, teas, coffees, squash, junk food. Actually shocking to see how many British people in this show don't eat vegetables. Main vegetables they seem to get are beans from a can/chips which I guess are potatoes and peas. The show has a meal swap segment, helping both the superskinny and supersize realise how bad their diets are. There are sections about people with eating disorders. Overweight people also get sent to the USA to meet someone heavier than they are. The show talks about dangers of obesity as well as lack of nutrients. It can be pretty educational. Thanks to it I learned that tea can hinder iron absorption which really shocked me. I find this show really motivating to eat healthier as well as making you reflect on what you eat and if what u eat serves you or harms you.
