Where ever you live in the world you may or may not have heard of someone called Jamie Oliver he is a British chef who had a programme on BBC2 called the Naked Chef the premise of this programme was very simple indeed they had a camera in his kitchen not in a studio like most cookery programmes.

And it was very successful there was a woman who used to talk him while he was preparing the meals and you got a glimpse into his life so the format they used was different to any other cookery programmes you may have seen.

A couple of weeks ago Jamie hosted a programme called eat to save your life I did read about this somewhere but completely forgot about it and one night when I couldn’t sleep switched the TV and there was this programme that had been mentioned in the newspaper.

Things Covered

Topics that were covered in the programme were how we have changed our eating habits over the years showing gradual increases in the amount of fat and sugar in our diets nowadaysm, it has all brought about by the introduction of ready meals fast forward about 10 years when microwaves came out that brought even more convenience foods into our diets, if you think about how we eat now and how we used to eat now, there are many big differences when I was younger we would choose to eat at a table and have cooked meals every day rather than processed packaged food which we have now at this particular time there wasn’t much of it about not like there is now.

Some people were put on running machines to see how their bodies coped with the exercise they were given to do quite surprisingly out of the three men who participated doing this exercise the one who was obese more than the others was in fact fitter, but when it came to having a CAT scan of his body this revealed a far more sinister picture his liver was full of fat and if you continue to eat the way he was eating than he would have far more trouble later on in life with his liver and any other diseases associated with obesity.

The Gruesome Parts

However there was something very different about this programme that had been never shown before as regards a programme focused on weight loss you may or may not have heard of a doctor who does autopsies on TV called Dr Gunther, at the end of the first part of this it ,concentrated on showing you some people that had been sliced across almost the same as you would sliced a piece of bread, so you could see the fat in their bodies you could see a cross-section of a fat person and a cross-section of a thin person saying this was quite eye opening to say the least you could see where the fat man’s cartridge had worn out in his legs due to the large amount of way he was carrying and you could see all the fat in his body and were it was.

The very last thing that was covered was Dr Gunther did a autopsy on a 25 stone man, the first thing he did was take the chest cavity off so you could see his internal organs the first thing he tried to do was see if he could find the mans ,liver which he said was very hard to see at the time because everywhere he looked there was fat it had pushed all his organs upwards. Whilst Dr Gunter was doing this he explained that the man would have had great difficulty breathing because of the amount of fat around his lungs.

This is one programme that I would highly recommend that you watch if you are able to if you did miss it you can download it off of Channel fours website they have a service called 40D which is short for four on demand

I wonder if Jamie Reads this he might pop by and say hello you never know who is reading your blog.
