Episode 6 - John and Lisa Drake
John and Lisa Drake live in Gloucestershire where they drive everywhere - mostly to their local fast food and take away restaurants!
Both are suffering from the ill effects of a poor diet saturated with fat and sugar. In addition to his sugary meals, John also guzzles up to 10 caffeine-fuelled energy drinks a day which could well be contributing to his headaches and Lisa's sugar addiction is so bad that she adds a whopping 5 cubes to every cup of tea and actually gets the shakes without a regular sugar hit.
Lisa is very keen to have children but her weight puts her at a strong disadvantage as obesity can reduce the chances of conceiving by 60% as it may cause irregular periods, ovulation problems and also effect the uterus so that the embryo cannot implant properly. John's size is also causing him problems, as he's constantly breathless, snores terribly and has no energy.
Unsurprisingly, when Gillian McKeith turns up to assess their eating habits she finds them grossly overweight [John 18 stone, Lisa 20 1/2 stone] and ready for some drastic changes. Which is just as well because that's exactly what Gillian has planned for them.
Gillian goes through their fridge and cupboards with an eagle eye and then confronts them with their very own food mountain - a table which is overloaded with a week's worth of their food, a truly shocking sight. The couple are banned from eating anything resembling a take away or any food laced with sugar.
After eight weeks of Gillian's detoxifying diet, the results are astounding. Lisa has lost 2 stone and has never felt better. Her addiction to sugar has disappeared and she is now bursting with vitality and her sex drive has gone through the roof! John, the tired takeaway tyrant, has also successfully managed to lose 2 stone and is oozing energy. Being trapped in a vicious circle of television and takeaways is definitely a thing of the past.
