Episode 5
Tait needs to stop his takeaway bingeing for the sake of his young family, but can Suzie Lee鈥檚 home-cooked healthy alternative satisfy his fast food cravings?
Young dad Tait is as heavy in weight as he has years under his belt. At 23 stone, the lockdown wreaked havoc on Tait鈥檚 diet. Commuting long hours to and from work and eating fast food takeaways en route means he can no longer run after, or play with, his young son Theo.
Girlfriend Abbie is worried that his weight has ballooned so much in the past three years that he will not be around long enough to see his young son grow up. Stephen sees a younger version of himself in Tait and warns him not to waste his youth, and to do something about his weight now while time is on his side.
The challenge for chef Suzie Lee is to make Tait鈥檚 much-loved but fattening takeaways a thing of the past by showing him how to cook fresh, delicious alternative meals at home. Tait and Stephen are delighted at how simple she makes favourite Chinese dishes look. When it comes to Suzie鈥檚 tasty treat, Stephen鈥檚 got a money-making idea up his sleeve.
