Overview

Secret Eaters is a British documentary television series about overeating. It is shown on Channel 4 and presented by Anna Richardson. With their permission, people with eating habit problems are videoed in their home over a week. The subjects do not suspect that private investigators are also following and videoing them elsewhere. At the end of the week, the true amount of what the subjects have eaten is revealed. The subjects are given some days to change their habits, and are brought back, showing considerable weight loss. This drama is intercut with a separate short story where the presenter and food experts test some factor causing overeating.

Overview

Sister and brother Emma and Matthew from Camberley in Surrey are under the spotlight this time. Matthew is very sporty, mountain-biking at weekends and going to the gym three times a week, while Emma restricts her food intake on weekdays to just a few hundred calories a day. So why are these two putting on weight? They're convinced they're making the right choices with their food, but Emma's habit of picking while cooking, and Matthew's willingness to indulge in chocolate cake immediately after exercise, seem to suggest otherwise. Once they learn the shocking truth of what they're really eating, will these siblings be able to stick to a healthy eating plan, start winning their fight with the flab and look forward to a healthier future?
