The Diets That Time Forgot - Season 1 Episode 2 Burning It Off
Offal's on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with cold plunges and exercise in this second phase of Sir Roy Strong's historic slimming experiment. Under his tough love regime, nine volunteers compete to lose weight on diet and keep fit regimes that were popular with the Victorians, Edwardians and the flappers of the 1920s. As the volunteers groan with hunger, Sir Roy decides it's time to test their powers of self restraint. There are gasps of horror as one of the volunteers gives in to temptation. The calorie trader arrives to demonstrate how the cost of a bar of chocolate can be offset by a five mile run. But the results of the weigh-in prove Sir Roy's point, when it comes to losing weight and keeping in shape, nothing beats discipline.
