Embarrassing Fat Bodies
By WLR's Site Manager, Laurence Beeken
Obesity and health is the subject of Embarrassing Fat Bodies, a spin off from the popular Embarrassing Bodies show on Channel 4.
Like Channel 4's Supersize vs Superskinny, the show is hosted by TV celebrity doctor, Dr Christian Jessen. Embarrassing Fat Bodies looks at the effects of obesity and the problems and risks associated with it.
For those of you who haven’t seen Embarrassing Fat Bodies, this mini series follows a number of overweight clinic patients as they seek treatment for their obesity problems.
The programme features some pretty graphic scenes of weight loss surgery and full frontal nudity, so is not for the squeamish. Covering the health risks and consequences of obesity, it does go to show the effects of obesity on health and the problems of being overweight.
What can I expect to see?
In the first of the series, the doctors follow Glenn, whose stomach oedema touches the floor, and successful slimmer Julia, whose new slim frame is draped in excess skin.
The second programme meets a husband and wife couple with a combined weight of 52 stone, and a 21-year-old Mum whose life is ruled by her enormous J cup breasts.
In episode 3, Dr Pixie McKenna deals with three huge hernias, and Dr Christian meets Malissa Jones, who made headlines in 2008 for being the world's first teenager to undergo a gastric band operation.
If you feel inspired by the clinic patients, then why not read some of our success stories – real people and real weight loss.
When is Embarrassing Fat Bodies aired?
You can watch Embarrassing Fat Bodies on Channel 4, every Monday at 9pm starting from June 06th.
Or if you’re out late, it’s repeated on Channel 4 + 1 at 10pm and of course you can catch up on 4oD.
