Fat & Back airs TONIGHT on ONE!

If you're in Australia be sure to check out Fat and Back, airing on One HD this Sunday PROMO - https://vimeo.com/33764371 In December 2008, we hit the record button for the first time on a documentary that this Sunday, 21 July at 6:30pm — four and a half years after we started — will finally get a run on Australian TV. Without a single dollar of funding or financial assistance from anyone, three guys, Davin Sgargetta, PJ James and myself, while juggling full-time work, pushed ourselves to the brink to make Fat and Back, a film that follows PJ's journey from a fit 80kg, up to 120kg and then back again. Synopsis - Taking pride in transforming the health and bodies of his clients, underwear model and personal trainer PJ (Paul James) was frustrated by his inability to connect with many overweight people in his bid to help them shed the kilos. Often they'd say: 'You don't know what its like to be fat'. PJ set out to change that. He aimed to gain 40kg (88lbs) of bodyfat to experience for himself the physical and psychological effects of obesity, before embarking on his own weight-loss regime. With insight from leading scientists and academics surrounding the science of obesity, highlighted by PJ's own struggles and those of his clients, Fat and Back reveals the seldom-heard perspective of one of the most serious health issues in the Western World.
