Ep 2. Helena and Murray

Helena and Murray are the focus of this episode of Secret Eaters, season 3 episode 2. This couple is determined to find out why they're not losing weight and why they're not as healthy as they want to be. To get to the bottom of their issues, they are set up with personal dietician Lynn Garton and nutritionist Dr. Adam Carey.

Helena and Murray claim they don't eat much and they're active, yet their weight and health say otherwise. With the help of a hidden camera, the experts find out that the couple is not being truthful. They are consuming way more calories than they thought, including late-night snacking and overeating during social occasions. The snacking is mainly down to Helena, who also likes to have a little something to nibble on whilst she is cooking, eating high calorie food which has been produced under big brand names. Murray meanwhile is consuming more calories at lunch than he realizes.

After the experts reveal their findings, Helena and Murray are shocked and a little embarrassed, but they take responsibility for their actions and agree to follow the advice given. Personal dietician Lynn Garton helps by tracking their food intake and giving them advice on how to make more healthy choices. Nutritionist Dr. Adam Carey, on the other hand, sets goals for the couple and helps them work towards a healthier lifestyle.

Throughout the episode, we see the couple's progress. They begin to make healthier choices, opting for lower-calorie options and eating smaller portions. They also start to track their food intake more accurately, leading to a better understanding of how much they're consuming and where they can cut back.

As well as focusing on their diet, Helena and Murray also increase their exercise levels, taking up new activities such as cycling. They realize that being active doesn't just mean exercising at a gym; it can also include things like going for a walk or taking the stairs instead of the lift. These small changes add up and contribute to their weight loss and overall improved health.

As the episode progresses, we see Helena and Murray's confidence grow as they notice significant changes in their weight and overall health. They feel more energetic and happier in themselves. By the end of the episode, they have lost a combined total of almost two stone (almost 13 kilograms) and are well on their way to achieving their weight loss goals.

Overall, Secret Eaters season 3 episode 2 is an inspiring and informative episode that shows the impact that small changes can make. It highlights the importance of being honest with ourselves about our eating habits and encourages us to seek professional advice when needed. With determination and the right guidance, we can all achieve a healthier, happier lifestyle.
