Ep 5. Episode 5

How To Lose Weight Well season 4 episode 5, titled "Episode 5," features two pairs of contestants who are on a mission to lose weight in different ways. In this episode, the two pairs who are struggling with weight-related health issues and have been unsuccessful in losing weight in the past, are paired with expert dieticians who help them lose weight using unconventional ways.

In the first segment of the episode, we meet Lauren and Jay, a couple from Manchester who have been struggling to lose weight since they got together six years ago. They have tried various diets and weight loss programs, but nothing seems to work for them. Lauren and Jay have been battling with obesity, which has also put a strain on their relationship. They come to the show in search of help to get healthier and strengthen their relationship.

The experts pair Lauren and Jay with a dietitian who recommends the carb-cycling diet. This approach involves alternating high-carbohydrate and low-carbohydrate days, based on physical activity levels and nutrition requirements. The dietitian also suggests incorporating more proteins, fruits, and vegetables into their meals. Lauren and Jay embark on the diet with high hopes, but they soon realize the struggle with the low-carbohydrate days. Meanwhile, the high-carbohydrate days give them energy and they are able to perform better in the physical activities assigned to them. Will the carb-cycling help Lauren and Jay lose weight and improve their relationship?

In the second part of the episode, we meet Alex and Lucy, a mother and daughter from London. Alex has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which has prompted her to take control of her weight and health. Lucy, on the other hand, has been overweight since childhood and has struggled with self-confidence as a result. Alex and Lucy have tried to lose weight together in the past, but have not been successful. They come to the show to find a solution to their weight problem.

The experts pair Alex and Lucy with a dietitian who recommends the Indian fasting diet. This diet involves eating normally for five days and then restricting calorie intake to 500 calories for two consecutive days. The dietitian also suggests incorporating more traditional Indian foods into their diet, which are rich in spices that have shown to have a positive effect on metabolism and diabetes. Alex and Lucy are hesitant at first but they are pleasantly surprised by the variety of food they can eat on the fasting days. They also enjoy the traditional Indian meals, which are rich in flavor and satisfying. Will the Indian fasting diet help Alex control her diabetes and enable Lucy to achieve her weight loss goals?
