Precious and Florence have been friends since childhood and share a love of food. In Secret Eaters season 2 episode 8, the pair invites the show's team into their homes to discover why they are both struggling to lose weight.
During the investigation, Precious and Florence reveal that they both have a sweet tooth and love to indulge in treats such as cake and ice cream. However, they believe that they have a relatively healthy diet and cannot understand why they are not losing weight.
To help them understand the true extent of their eating habits, the Secret Eaters team sets up cameras around their homes to document their every move. They also ask them to keep food diaries to record everything they eat and drink.
The team then analyzes the footage and food diaries to uncover some surprising truths about Precious and Florence's eating habits. It becomes clear that they are both consuming far more calories than they realize, often through snacking and drinking sugary beverages.
One of the biggest culprits is Florence's love of sugary coffees, which can contain up to 500 calories per drink. The team also discovers that both women tend to snack mindlessly throughout the day, consuming hundreds of additional calories without even realizing it.
In addition to their eating habits, the team also looks at Precious and Florence's activity levels. While both women lead busy lives, they are not as active as they could be. They rarely exercise and tend to spend a lot of time sitting down, which means they are burning fewer calories than they should be.
With this information in hand, the Secret Eaters team sits down with Precious and Florence to discuss their findings. They explain how their current eating habits and activity levels are contributing to their weight gain and offer them advice on how they can make positive changes.
This includes making small tweaks to their diets, such as cutting back on sugary drinks and snacks, and finding ways to incorporate more physical activity into their daily routine. The team also suggests setting realistic weight loss goals and tracking their progress over time.
Overall, Precious and Florence are grateful for the insights that the Secret Eaters team has provided. While they are initially shocked at the amount of calories they are consuming, they are motivated to make positive changes and work towards their weight loss goals.
