Episode 1 - Why Do I Put on Weight?
January. 01,2019
Geneticist Giles Yeo and his team assess five overweight volunteers, before putting them on personalised diets tailored to their bodies and brains. Your skinny best friend seems to eat twice as much as you. But you’re still overweight. Why? For decades, experts thought they had the answer: too many calories and not enough exercise. But the latest scientific research is turning those assumptions on their head. Differences in our individual biology – our genetics, hormones or psychology – all play a crucial role. In this BBC documentary, five volunteers are going on diets tailored to their bodies and brains and guided by geneticist and obesity expert Dr. Giles Yeo. They’re just like you – normal people who spend their lives going up and down in weight. Combining rock-solid science with engaging personal stories, this experiment will revolutionize how we think about diet. Think long-term weight loss is impossible? Think again.

Linus the Lionhearted
Linus the Lionhearted is an American animated television series featuring a main character of the same name. The character was created in 1959 by the Ed Graham advertising agency, originally as a series of ads for General Foods' Post Cereals. At first, Linus was the spokesman for the short-lived Post cereal "Heart of Oats". Eventually, the lion was redesigned and reintroduced in 1963 to sell Crispy Critters, which featured Linus on the box. The ads were so popular that a television series was created in 1964 and ran on the CBS network until 1966, then reruns [in color] aired on ABC from 1966, until it was cancelled three years later. A coloring book was published which detailed the adventures of So-Hi going on a scavenger hunt in order to break a curse on a two-headed bird, who is then transformed into a boy due to So-Hi's dedication.
In addition to Linus, a rather good-natured "King of the Beasts" who ruled from his personal barber's chair and voiced by Sheldon Leonard, there were other features as well, all based on characters representing other popular Post cereals. The best-known of these was Sugar Bear, who sounded like Bing Crosby and was voiced by actor Gerry Matthews. There was also a postman named Lovable Truly, a young Asian boy named So Hi, and Rory Raccoon.
