In each episode, Charles takes cameras into an unsuspecting subject's life for several days to investigate his or her food intake, exercise (or lack thereof), and unhealthy habits — with the goal of uncovering the behaviors that have led to that person's weight problem. After he intervenes with these individuals (including a former marketing executive turned stay-at-home mom, an aspiring young filmmaker, and at times, couples) with an offer to save their lives, Charles goes on to teach them how to eat better and get moving so they'll enjoy long-term weight loss, improved health, and renewed confidence. Charles then checks in after several months to see how each person is getting along. (See what the press is saying about the show.)
