Claire Sweeney : My Big Fat Diet
This was a TV program that I watched last night and it was really interesting. Claire Sweeney is an actress and dancer who does musicals and TV shows. She is 5 ft 8 inches and weighed 9 stone 12 pounds with a BMI of 21.3. Her blood pressure was 110 over 70 which is very good and she worked out 3 times a week with a physical trainer and ate sensibly.
She took on a challenge to stop exercising and eat whatever she liked for 6 weeks. The program followed her progress including how she looked, weighed and measured and how she felt.
She put on nearly 2 stone in just 6 weeks and went up 3 cup sizes and 2-3 dress sizes. She started to feel really self concious and her friends thought that she looked completely different. She had never been that heavy before and she began to really hate it.
The really interesting thing was her health. Not only was her BMI in the overweight category but her blood pressure had gone up to 170 over 110 which is in the high blood pressure category. This just shows that even not looking after yourself for a small amount of time can lead to health problems and that a long binge over Christmas or on a holiday for example could be more harmful than we might think.
What I liked about the program was that it showed that even someone who has an active job and a physical trainer still has to work hard with what she eats to stay healthy. I used to think that people were either lucky and thin or unlucky and fat and that thin people did not work hard to stay the way they are. I think there are some lucky people out there but knowing that most people have to work hard to be healthy made me feel better somehow that I was not the only one doing it.
