agreed. but at the same time, when they said charlene ate 1400 calories a day i was shocked. i would have thought she would eat less then that.

I know! She seemed maximum 1000 calories to me. I'm very confused at my perception of calories after watching this show. But I still love it. I'm trying to incorporate some of the super skinny diets but listening to the health advice of the dr. and the advice he gives to the supersize.
Addicted to this show now!
this show always seems to in one way or another confuse me with the advice or stats, but i agree it has good advice and is incredibly entertaining.
you guys guess who I saw in Sainsbury's earlier
Dr Christian!! hahaha
I turned round after hearing him and a friend joking over something - and after I'd been analysing/staring blankly at greek yogs and nutrition facts for longer than normal - and did a double take at him and he just stared right back at me hahaha
so embarrassing that I was like 
Anyhoo to add to the actual discussion, I think they must add some figures to their total intakes, as when you see what some of the fatties have to eat as their meals (often nothing at all or just coffee) you can see it's barely possible to accumulate more than even 1000 cals. They probably don't want viewers seeing them and idolising them and thinking 'oh she only eats 800 cals a day, I'll try that and I can look that skinny too' kinda thing

That's funny, wonder what he was thinking looking at you analyzing nutrition facts of yogurts
I thought that too, but that kind of defies the point of the show, doesn't it?
Are there any new episodes of that show? I've already seen the ones on youtube
The new series starts on Channel 4 on Tuesday, 8pm (I think). Love this show!

I LOVE this show- there was once a girl who ate 6k calories a DAY! I couldn't believe it. I also like how a lot of the "super-skinnies" on the show are just beautiful, not seriously underweight... They usually look healthy and beautiful.

Ah, I looooooooove that show!
I always wondered whether Charlene didn't really want to gain weight or was just an incredibly picky eater. I felt like she didn't eat most things simply because she didn't like them. But I guess that doesn't change the fact that she came across as incredibly bitchy, does it?

Oh you lucky girl!
I love this guy & pretty good looking. I love his constant happy face
& I totally agree with you. Exactly what I thought. I think they just didn't want some viewers to get a thinspiration out of some of these skinny pretty girls. Haha.
Although her lack of participation was kind of dull. I don't think she was "bitchy". I honestly don't blame her. Most of the time, her plate with filled with meat, meat and more disgusting fried and layered with skin. I was surprised she didn't throw up yet. Plus, she is Indian and I don't intend to generalize the whole population but they're not too big on meat really.
& yes she just didn't want to gain weight. She slightly admitted it at the end.
Did anyone watch the new episode last night? I watched it on 4od this morning. I was like *jaw dropped* the entire time at the overweight ones and the stats. eg. predicting that soon enough ONE THIRD of the UK will be overweight (I hope it was overweight, not obese...) and America is already there. wow. I won't ruin any of the show, but after all our comments here I should mention that they didnt seem to point out how many cals the skinny girl was eating this time. But, one trend I have noticed with the majority of the skinnies on the show as a whole is the insane amount of tea/coffee/coke they all drink as opposed to meals... :hmm:
Yeah, I watched the new episode last night...
They seem to have changed the format quite a bit this series, there was less focus on the actual diet swap and more stuff about obesity and eating disorders in the world, in general. I think the programme was getting some bad press about the whole experiment being unhealthy etc so they've tried to make it more educational. It's still interesting though!
One thing that always amuses me is that in the beginning, when the 'supersize' and 'superskinny' people meet, and get weighed etc, they're always wearing this really unflattering, beige/flesh coloured underwear...and when they come back after the 6-week (?) 'healthy diet' plan, they're always wearing nice, matching black underwear, with their hair and makeup all done nicely...it seems kind of staged and pointless but that's TV for you I guess!

Such a shame he's supergay
You've got a point there. I wouldn't have been able to eat that amout of meat either (probably would've thrown up if I'd been in her position). It was a horrible diet swap, being the obese one and not being able to eat much for a week came across as the much easier option.
I miss British TV! Boohoo!
Don't know about you but I do that too. I mean, I certainly have enough to eat but I still love to drink lots of diet coke or tea (I hate coffee).
I always think that if I keep something to drink nearby and take a sip now and then it will keep me from snacking.
It's on Channel 4 OD and Youtube but I don't know if you can watch them outside of the UK/Ireland. Here's the link to last night's episode:

Thanks for the link.
It didn't work
Apparently the US of A is not a creditable country which doesn't make any sense really, since it's us that like to interfere with every country's business. Haha
In my uni there are a lot of skinny Indian girls, they are blessed with good genes which is why they don't look sick with bones sticking out. Also it's very common for Indian girls to be born "underweight" i.e. less than 4 pounds whereas here we think of healthy babies to weigh around 7 pounds.
