Researcher – Little Gem
For a month this year I was part of the Little Gem team behind the Channel 4 series ‘How To Lose Weight Well’ and was working on the science strands of the series. This included finding multiple experts, casting members of the public, sourcing locations from clinics, to cafes, to football grounds and even sourcing 2kg of pig fat – yes that’s true.
It was great to be apart of the team and really enjoyed getting my head into a bit of science again! From endobarriers to diet pills, from alcohol to faecal transplants – I learned a lot about the myths and facts behind weight loss. You’ll have to tune in to Series 3 to find out for yourselves!
