In the final programme tonight we find out how the 75 volunteers can make their diets work in the long term.

Tonight’s episode looks into how processes in the body and the brain can make the final weeks and months of a diet difficult.

Professor Susan Jebb tests how changes in metabolic rate could slow down the dieter’s weight loss and what tweaks are needed to their diet plans to keep up their rate of weight loss.

Giles Yeo shows the Constant Cravers how eating breakfast can help and Paul Aveyard helps the Emotional Eaters learn how to deal with occasional indulgences and avoid further relapse

Professor Fiona Gribble also runs an experiment to show that how fast the Feasters eat their food will affect their hormones and ultimately, how full they feel.

The final results of the study are also announced and reveal how successful the diet personalisation approach has been for the group

How many of the volunteers made their five per cent weight-loss target? 

The final episode will broadcast tonight (14th January) on BBC Two at 9pm.
