The latest in this anti-lifestyle lifestyle series sees comedians Alex Love and Siobhan Dodd discuss the need to go on a diet for health reasons.
Alex had never been on a diet before he was diagnosed with high blood pressure in January 2024. Despite living pretty healthily, family history provided an incentive to do something about it. To avoid going on permanent meds, he reluctantly had to make some lifestyle changes, alter his diet, and lose weight. What did he do? And did it work?
They talk about their favourite snacks and biscuits. Just how many packets of Mini Cheddars could you eat while driving home from the supermarket?
Siobhan talks about how her diet had to change during pregnancy due to developing gestational diabetes, but continues to rebel against healthy eating.
Siobhan tries again to get an invite to Alex's flat. Another challenge is set. And just how many times can Siobhan say “boom” and “b*llocks” in one episode?
Plus there is a listener’s tale about what happened after they had the Rumbles of Doom on a date while walking through the gardens of a stately home.
Music is by Rich Shillitoe.
