Losing It

Description

This PBS Scientific America Frontiers episode tackles a common problem that confronts those who are struggling to lose weight - finding the healthiest and most successful way to shed those pounds and keep it off over the long term. In Losing It, the camera follows a dozen subjects for several months as they adopt a wide variety of approaches, from simply counting calories and following online diet systems to more drastic measures such as gastric bypass surgery. It's not only an up-close and personal view of the weight loss battle but also provides key insights as to what works, what doesn't...and what are the risks.
