There are tears and tantrums as 21-stone Louise Hayes swaps her normal five, or even six course feasts for superskinny Josh Evans’s diet, which barely features a proper meal. Louise is determined to get through the swap as deep down she’s terrified her five-year-old son is picking up her supersize habits and will end up as big as her.
Each of the participants eat the diet of the other. At the end of the experiment, they have a better idea of how extreme their consumption looks to another person. Every episode I saw had the participants sharing an experience that gave them empathy for other that usually didn’t exist before. At the follow-up after the end of the experiment, they were true friends who relied on each other for encouragement. I can think of only one show where a participant had gained weight. All of the others were successful in following their program.
