Crash Diet Revolution

In a complete scientific U-turn, experts are now discovering in scientific trials that crash diets could be one of the most effective answers to the obesity crisis.
　　Could the black sheep of the dieting world turn out to be the biggest breakthrough in the fight against obesity?
　　To find out, Britain's top nutrition scientists come together in a bold new experiment that puts the latest research on crash dieting to the test. Taking four obese weight-loss wannabes who've tried everything to slim down, they put them on an extreme ten-week weight loss programme under the guidance of experts, to trial the ultimate crash diet.
　　Each of our dieters has a specific health issue that weight loss might dramatically improve or even cure. This radical new approach to weight loss has the potential to save the NHS billions of pounds, to save people from drastic and invasive surgery, and to revolutionise the way we diet.
　　A&E doctor and presenter, Dr Javid Abdelmoneim, who has been suspicious of crash dieting up until now, lead an expert team: Susan Jebb, professor of diet and nutrition at Oxford University, and behavioural scientist Prof Paul Aveyard. They know it has been shown to work in highly controlled research studies, but are keen to see whether that translates to real life.
　　The real cost of Britain's obesity epidemic is in treating diseases associated with obesity, like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This crash diet is not just about weight loss, but also the dramatic health benefits and life-changing results that can follow.
