When Robert de Nlro Rlayed the part of a eavywelght boxer in the film Raging Bull, he had forced his weight from 155 up to 215 pounds. On the other side, slimming magazines always find someone who has shed several stones to be their ' Slimmer of the Year '. But there are many men and women who consistently fail in their attempts to become fatter or thinner.
Geoff Watts examines why some people seem to be able to control their weight while others find it impossible, and asks if the fat - and the thin - of the land are destined to remain so. Producer DEBORAH COHEN
