S1 E1: Six Brits, who are all living with obesity, start their fact-finding global journey. They begin in Japan, a nation that has almost eradicated obesity. This has been achieved by strict government measures and a culture of shame, including fitness apps that scold the user. One of the Brits, inspired by a family tragedy, is determined to try everything, including stripping off for a Sento bath.
