BBC Two has confirmed a new series investigating personalised diets.
Given the working title Diet Tribes, the three 60-minute episodes are presented by Dr Chris Van Tulleken and clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron.
In the study from the Science Unit in BBC Scotland, 75 overweight people from across the country will be put on a three-month diet tailored to their biological profile
Executive Producer Mark Hedgecoe said: "What's so exciting about this approach to dieting is it can potentially help us lose weight more easily.
"By knowing why we put on weight, we can help discover which diet should be best for us."
Oxford University professor of diet and population Susan Jebb added: "This series is trying to understand more about the causes of overeating and to see whether, if we understand more about the causes of obesity, we can use this information to identify a specific diet or boost adherence...

The Duchess of Cambridge put up a fight against bullying Wednesday morning, spending a second day visiting a charity, this time in London's financial district. Arriving right before 10:30 at a forum for one of her favorite charities, Place2Be, which provides school-based mental health and emotional support services to kids and parents, Kate received a bouquet from a schoolgirl as the day's wind kept flipping up her skirt. Inside, experts discussed such topics as cyberbullying, self-harm, special education needs and preventing addiction, all of which proved of such interest to Kate that she decided to stay a full hour longer than planned.

According to a new study, one-third of married couples with children will split due to sleepless nights — because their screaming babies keep them up! Are You surprised by the findings?
There are many reasons why marriages end, but a new study claims crying babies are a major cause for parents splitting up! The study, conducted by the show Bedtime Live on British TV station Channel 4, polled 2,000 parents about how much sleep they get each night, and the reason for their lack of sleep.
Split-up parents were also asked about the cause behind their failed relationship. Almost a third of the separated parents questioned attributed restless nights due to kids as the reason for the conclusion of their marriage!
Doctors recommend adults to get at least seven hours of sleep, but many parents with little children only get about six hours each night! The poll collected quite a bit of...

London, Dec mber 6: Rising numbers of middle-class children are suffering mental health problems because parents shelter them from the harsh reality of life, a leading psychologist has warned.
Professor Tanya Byron said youngsters are growing up in a 'paranoid' culture, which tries to protect them but leaves them unable to cope with life's challenges.
She said she has treated numbers of children with anxiety disorders who lack 'emotional resilience' and are afraid of failure.
Professor Byron, who has been a clinical psychologist for 23 years and featured on the BBC series House Of Tiny Tearaways, said these children were 'breaking down' despite being 'bright' and not 'from backgrounds where you would predict a greater.

Jennifer Saunders' cancer battle brought on a bout of depression and pushed the British actress into the menopause.
The Absolutely Fabulous star, 53, spent 10 months fighting breast cancer last year, undergoing surgery and chemotherapy treatment before she entered remission.
She opened up about her battle with the deadly disease earlier this year, insisting she didn't worry too much about losing her hair, but Saunders has now admitted the drugs she was taking made her lose her zest for life, and brought on her menopause because of a hormone imbalance.
She tells Britain's Radio Times, "I found the (oestrogen-halting drug) Tamoxifen the hardest thing because it changes you. It's like suddenly becoming older. You feel fagged out (exhausted), you lose your motor and it makes you feel depressed... You are pushed into menopause like jumping off a cliff... Bang.
"You have that 'I want to go to bed and sleep for ever' kind of feeling. Normally I have the energy to get up, get ready and do something, but I wasn't starting my days until maybe 11 or 11.30, even though I was awake."
Saunders also reveals her close friend, psychologist Tanya Byron, pushed her to confront her depression.
She adds, "I'd say, 'The whole world is against me. Everyone else is wrong about everything.' And she'd say, 'No, darling, I think that might be depression.'"
Saunders then started taking antidepressants, and admits, "It was, like, 'Give me more pills!' It was brilliant."...

We look at why Labyrinth is still such an endlessly appealing movie...
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
Comedian Robin Ince once said it was impossible for people under 40 to experience nostalgia. Real nostalgia meant pain, he argued, a gut-aching, punch in the chest, yearning for home, youth, and a life that no longer existed. Nostalgia was the feeling you had when, having come face to face with the unalterable fact of ageing and mortality, you recognised the things you'd lost, and desperately wanted them back.
The under-forties hadn't yet the distance from their youth to be truly get nostalgia, Ince reasoned. When the under-forties think they're experiencing nostalgia, he said, they're just remembering stuff.
He's got a point. While it might make for a decent pub chat, the loss of Pigeon Street and Mallett's Mallet hasn't left me with any inconsolable yearnings. I don't...

Labyrinth is 25 years old today. Louisa looks back at a classic fantasy movie, starring Jennifer Connelly, lots of puppets, and David Bowie in very tight trousers…

London -- The British Board of Film Classification hit back Monday in a war of words over which system should be used for video games ratings and classification systems here.
The BBFC's counter follows last week's submission to the U.K. government by British entertainment & leisure software publishers association Elspa (Hr 11/19) throwing its weight behind the currently non-enforceable pan European system dubbed Pegi.
But the BBFC said Monday it had the backing of the movie industry here and argues it is best placed to deal with converging media because of the body's "wealth of experience in both film and games classification."
A spokesperson for the BBFC pointed to the Film Distributor's Association submission to the British government's consultation led by Tanya Byron on the way video games aimed at children are classified, as evidence of its claim.

London -- The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Assn., the U.K. trade organization of gaming software developers, is throwing its weight behind the currently non-enforceable Pan European Game Information system for video game age ratings and classification.
The powerful U.K. lobbying group's decision is a blow to the work of the British Board of Film Classification, which currently issues guidelines for video games that are legally binding, similar to its work for film and video.
Elspa's decision is part of the organization's submission to a British government study led by Tanya Byron on the way video games aimed at children are classified. The consultation closes Wednesday.
Pegi has developed a "traffic light" color coding system, and incorporated plain-language content explanations to make the system clearer, more effective and more consistent for parents, children and consumers.
