Can diet pills work without addressing emotional issues relating to food?
This month a fat-busting pill went on sale over the counter in the UK. But do dieting mechanisms like these actually work without confronting the psychological and emotional issues that have caused overeating and obesity to start with? Journalist Hannah Jones examines her dysfunctional relationship with food in a documentary calledÌýFix My Fat Head, part of the 91Èȱ¬'s Headroom campaign. ÌýShe joins Jenni, along withÌýJulia Buckroyd, Emeritus Professor of Counselling at theÌýUniversity of Hertfordshire, and Dr Matthew Capehorn from the National Obesity Forum.
