This is one of those documentaries that takes us into a bizarre world peopled with Day-Glo characters. Brutal Russian diet guru Galia Grainger runs "Britain's poshest fat camp" in the Sussex countryside and regards her clients with disdain. Here's how she describes them: "You can't fit into your clothes. You are unhappy person. You can't find the man because you are unhappy. Nobody wants to deal with you any more. Go and lose weight... you *****."
When guests arrive at their £1,400-a-week rooms she shouts at them ("Where is your sweat? I can't see it!"), as she does at her staff. The strangest thing is that her merciless lose-a-stone-in-a-week techniques seem to work.
SUMMARY
The weird and wonderful world of Russian weight-loss guru and 'detox diva' Galia Grainger at her Georgian mansion in the Sussex countryside. Galia attracts the overweight and unhappy to her diet hotel with promises of losing up to a stone in just seven days, under her authoritarian rule. The documentary follows bride-to-be Kirsty, who has bought a wedding dress two sizes too small and only has six weeks before she walks down the aisle, along with cabbie Tony who is worried that his increasing weight is affecting his love life.
