The BBC has just run an interesting TV series where a doctor visits families in their homes and improves their health by changing their diets, and adding exercise. The results are both visible and -- importantly -- measurable.

The series is going to be repeated in January so UK residents will be able to watch them.

Of course, medical advice on diet hasn't always been entirely correct, but I think there's a pretty broad consensus on Dr Chatterjee's approach -- cut out the fast food and processed foods, avoid added sugars, cut carbs, eat more veggies and fibre, eat a wider variety of foods etc. You don't really med school training to figure this out.
