In the second episode tonight we find out what happens when the dieters leave the lab and head home with their new diets.

Now they face the challenge of sticking to their weight loss plans while surrounded by the stresses and temptation of their real lives.

Eye-tracking technology is used to investigate how the Constant Cravers are affected by their ‘hungry genes’ and how they behave around food advertising.

Professor Tanya Byron visits Cambridge University to discover what happens in the brains of the Emotional Eaters that compels them to comfort eat.

The Feasters are brought together for a test by Professor Fiona Gribble, who wants to discover why soup is such a great dieting tool.

We’ll also hear from members of all the dieting groups as they go past the honeymoon stage, and run an experiment at the supermarket to investigate what effect tiredness has on your food choices.

The second episode will broadcast tonight (13th January) on BBC Two at 9pm.
