I Can Make You Thin: Reality TV Show Will Help You Lose Fat

I Can Make You Thin is shown on The Learning Channel (TLC) Friday and Sunday evenings. And this time I watched a whole episode. The host of I Can Make You Thin is Paul McKenna. I'm a fitness trainer and believe that I Can Make You Thin will help overweight people finally start achieving fat loss, because this reality TV show explores the psychology behind overeating. Additionally, I Can Make You Thin involves audience participation and home visits to desperate overweight people. Fat loss can be achieved by easy-to-follow mental strategies.

I Can Make You Thin will surely become a more popular reality TV show. Paul McKenna explains why people eat too much, and then gets the audience involved, sometimes collectively, and sometimes individually. Most of the I Can Make You Thin audience appears to be fat. The audience has ample viewing of giant video screens behind Paul McKenna that align with what he's explaining. This format alternates with the home visits to overweight people.

In this particular episode of I Can Make You Thin, Paul McKenna visited two homes: that of a 215-pound woman who gained weight after her divorce, and that of an engaged couple facing the stress of planning for a wedding. Paul McKenna taught both parties the same technique for controlling food intake. The episode focused on emotional eating, and a subcategory of that is eating when one feels angry or stressed out.

When these feelings come on, Paul McKenna instructed the participants, which included the groom-to-be at what appeared to be a good 400 pounds, to employ acupuncture techniques. When the urge to binge hit as a result of emotions, the person was to repeatedly tap with a fingertip certain areas of their body -- acupuncture points -- such as below the lower eyelid and below the shoulder blade.

Supposedly, this acupuncture technique deadens the desire to eat when emotions are running high. In fact, it quells the actual emotion.
