Just heard that at 8pm UK time there will be a phone in regarding weight loss. With today's news of the number of obese people in the world it might be worth a listen?

Did you listen, was it any good?

Yes I did, it was not that interesting really poor quality of callers, it would have been better if they had nutritionists giving their opinions and asking for callers to challenge them

Hi John,

I did listen to this, and I felt quite disappointed by how the radio presenter responded to the callers - in my personal opinion, he seemed a bit 'biased', and sometimes his responses appeared to be 'judgemental' of their statements.  I thought he lacked empathy  - despite the fact he said he had experience of having lost weight himself.  Hence I felt he didn't really 'do justice' to their stories.  For example he was very dismissive of one caller who had mentioned that she enjoyed a bowl of vegetable soup for her breakfast (I think that was the meal she chose to have that soup in), and I felt he was relatively dismissive of her choice.  

I was glad I didn't try to phone in - as I felt he was not enabling a discursive platform for people to feel listened to, and hence I thought the discussions were quite 'flat' and 'uninteresting'.

I was glad you highlighted the fact it was on though, as I really like listening to any weight related topics.

Hope you're enjoying the weekend.
