Ep 7. Emma vs Robert

In Supersize vs Superskinny season 6 episode 7, we meet Emma and Robert. Emma is a young woman who is severely overweight and eats a diet high in sugar and junk food. She's aware that her habits aren't healthy but doesn't know how to change them. Robert, on the other hand, is a young man who is severely underweight and struggles to put on any weight at all. He eats a very limited, low-calorie diet that consists mostly of vegetables. He wants to get healthier but doesn't know how to go about it.

The two are brought together at the Supersize vs Superskinny feeding clinic where they'll spend a week under the same roof, eating each other's diets. The clinic's resident doctor, Christian Jessen, oversees their progress and helps them come up with a plan for getting healthier.

Throughout the episode, we learn more about Emma and Robert's histories and how their diets have impacted their lives. Emma reveals that she's been battling weight issues since childhood and that it's become a major source of insecurity for her. She's never been able to stick to a diet or exercise program, so she's hoping this experience will be the kickstart she needs.

Robert, meanwhile, talks about how his low weight has made him feel weak and self-conscious. He's been teased by others for his size, and he worries that it's impacting his ability to pursue his dream of becoming a musician.

As Emma and Robert begin to swap meals, they're shocked by the stark contrast in their diets. Emma is overwhelmed by the sheer amount of food that Robert eats, while Robert struggles to adjust to the high-calorie, high-sugar meals that make up Emma's diet. As they swap meals, they both begin to learn more about their own habits and how they can improve them.

Throughout the week, Dr. Jessen works with Emma and Robert to come up with a plan for healthier eating. He helps Emma identify the emotional triggers that cause her to overeat and teaches her techniques for regulating her portions. He also encourages Robert to eat more calorie-dense foods and to establish a consistent exercise routine to help him build muscle.

By the end of the episode, both Emma and Robert have made progress towards their goals. Emma has learned how to better control her portions and has started to incorporate more healthy foods into her diet. Robert has started to put on weight and feels more confident in his body. The two leave the clinic with a newfound sense of optimism about their health and futures.
