SERIES OVERVIEW
These people are carrying extra stones rather than pounds, and are literally killing themselves with food.
Through a series of sometimes shocking tests, Gillian reveals exactly how a poor diet and obesity lead to health problems, and gives practical advice on changing a lifetime of bad habits.
Putting themselves into Gillian's capable hands are 40-year-old Nick, whose boozy social life leads to late night binges; crisp addict Yvonne whose terrible wind has driven her friends to despair; and John and Lisa, a couple who realise that they are eating themselves into an early grave but cannot break their fast food habits.
