I Want to Save Your Life

Description: Charles Stuart Platkin, also known as the Diet Detective, stages undercover health interventions. His mission is to coax Americans back to a more healthy lifestyle.

And no, she doesn't get to eat the cake after the walk. He works with each person to help them find out why they've developed the weight issues they struggle with, and then he helps them develop more effective ways to deal with their problems.
