i watched it aswell thought it was really good

there is another one on tonight on itv at 9pm....

Louise Redknapp investigates the current obsession among women for excessive slimming to achieve the size zero look. Ignoring the advice of celebrity nutritionist Dr Adam Carey, she enrols in Bootcamp Barry in Los Angeles and begins four weeks of exercise and starvation. She talks to Denise Van Outen and Melanie C about the pressure on public figures to conform, and visits patients at a London eating disorders clinic before dropping in to her old stage school to warn students of the true horrors of crash dieting

am going to watch this should be interesting

I saw it.

She didn't actually get down to size zero did she? Does anyone know if Louise did?

I thought that girl Polly was soooooo pretty. Did anyone notice that even when she lost all the weight her face looked much the same? I thought that was unusual but I guess everyone loses in different areas. I can't BELIEVE that that diet doctor told her that her fat range was Obese when she weighed like 10 stone.

Looking forward to the one tonight.

Yeah, that holistic dr (or whatever he was) was scary. How could he tell her she was (?borderline) obese!?! He needs to get his fat percentage machine calibrated. Or maybe she'd drank lots of water or something beforehand. Either way, he's clearly in it for the money.

I loved this show. I'd seen it before and made my boyfriend watch it this time, so he could see what women go through to be thin. He knows what my mood is like if I have no carbs , so I think he'd rather I didn't starve myself!

It was really funny and informative. I loved the bit when she went around trying to feed the models! Starvation Army! lol

I saw it when it was first on. I'm a sucker for BBC3 too thin/too fat programmes.

Oh me too. I love all those programmes I even watch You Are What You Eat, even though I don't like Gillian McKeith .

I don't think that the girl from Superslim Me would have ever gotten down to a size zero though- her body just didn't look like it would change in that way. She had boobs and stuff- boobs do NOT fit into size zero dresses!

I watched it too. Was it only one episode? I wasn't sure - I missed the end (but I assume she didn't get down to a size 0...)
