BBC presenter Stephen Nolan is on a mission to show people across NI how to 'Feed Yourself Fitter' in a new show.
As someone who has battled with their weight for many years, the series will follow him as he meets with people across Northern Ireland with similar issues to learn the secret to cooking simple, healthy and low-calorie meals.
In a new six-part series, Feed Yourself Fitter with Stephen Nolan, the broadcaster calls upon the expertise of a different chef each week including Alex Greene, Brian McCann, Shauna Froydenlund, Michael Deane, Suzie Lee and Paula McIntyre.

A description of the show reads: "In the first episode, we meet Dora, who says her weight has been hugely impacted by recent deaths in the family.
"A self-confessed novice in the kitchen, the challenge is on to convince her to ditch the snacks and, most importantly, enjoy the food she’s cooked herself.
"Episode two takes us to Fermanagh, where second hand cars salesman Felim is struggling to manage long working hours and healthy eating.
"His addiction to fast food is not only putting a strain on his health but also his relationship with fiancée Luke."
Across the series, Stephen also travels to Newry to hear from busy grandmother and care home worker Caroline, who has been battling with weight gain since she entered menopause.
Meanwhile, Mary from Londonderry hopes that learning to make healthier options alongside Stephen in the kitchen might give her the impetus she needs to change.
The BBC continued: "Young dad Tait from Portstewart is still struggling to shed the pounds from lockdown, and with a long daily commute to work – complete with pit stops at the nearest fast food restaurants – he can barely keep up with young son.
"Stephen sees a younger version of himself in Tait and warns him not to waste his youth, and do something about his weight now while time is on his side."
Feed Yourself Fitter with Stephen Nolan is made by Third Street Studios.
It starts on BBC One Northern Ireland on May 19, 7.30pm and the full series will also be available on BBC iPlayer
