Description

BODY STORY - FAT ATTACK - Have you ever wondered what happens to your body in a crisis – a car accident, for example, or an acute allergic reaction? Would you like to know why the cabbage-soup diet doesn’t work, or why eating a chicken can lead to an experience not unlike an alien invasion? How do we get through adolescence, when it sometimes seems as if our bodies are rioting and our brains have given up altogether? The award-winning series Body Story reveals the biological drama behind six critical moments in human lives. With its unique mix of drama and astonishing computer graphics, Body Story reveals just why losing weight is such a tough battle. George’s body is stockpiling vast fat reserves beneath his belly. It is preparing for a famine it evolved to expect at any moment. But the famine never comes – so George just keeps growing. When the girl of his dreams deserts him, George decides to take on his own body chemistry through a campaign of diet and exercise. But as fat is liberated into his bloodstream, his body fights back, as it tries to hang on to its precious reserves.
