The documentary is aiming to be the opposite of Morgan Spurlock�s documentary film �Super Size Me� during which Spurlock spent 30 days just eating McDonalds.
For the new documentary female guinea pigs will be employing extreme weight loss programmes to drop several dress sizes.
A Channel 4 spokesman has said: "This is a shock doc with a real sense of purpose,"
"It provides the perfect opportunity to debunk the current clamour for all things super-skinny.�
It is hoped that the documentary will explore the dangers of dropping to a low weight emulated by celebrities like Nicole Richie and Victoria Beckham; the show will be broadcast next year.
