Supersize vs Superskinny

*Supersize vs Superskinny* is a British television programme that aired on Channel 4, focusing on dieting and extreme eating lifestyles. A central element of the show is a weekly comparison between an overweight individual and an underweight individual, who are brought to a feeding clinic to live together for five days, swapping diets under the supervision of Dr Christian Jessen. The show also featured Anna Richardson in the first, second, and third series, where she explored new weight-loss methods by trying diets she found on the Internet, some of which had alarming side effects. For instance, Anna attempted Laser lipolysis, which went seriously wrong and caused severe bruising. She also investigated Diabulimia and spoke with Isabelle Caro, a French actress known for her underweight appearance and her campaign against anorexia. In the first series, which aired in 2008, one segment involved Gillian McKeith, who aimed to find a way to "ban big bums" in the UK. She tested various exercises to tone the buttocks of different groups of women and created a leaderboard to determine the most effective method.
