LifeStyle YOU Orders Cineflix Format

SYDNEY: XYZnetworks’ LifeStyle YOU channel has commissioned Southern Star Entertainment to produce an Australian version of the Cineflix International format Eat Yourself Sexy.

The series follows the stories of eight women, one per episode, as they transform their bodies with the help of a team of experts. Sarah Wilson will host the Australian version, which will also feature nutritionist Emma Sutherland and trainer Blake Worrall-Thompson. The show will premiere in mid-2011.

“LifeStyle YOU prides itself on knowing Australian women. Our viewers contact us all the time with requests for makeovers, diet and exercise plans and relationship advice. When we found this show we knew it was perfect for LifeStyle YOU as it covers the gamut and the goal of what Australian women want to be—healthy, happy and sexy,” said Nicole Sheffield, the general manager of LifeStyle Channels. “Eat Yourself Sexy crosses genres with diet and fitness advice along with makeover tips and is about the realistic makeover to get Australian women feeling sexy again.”

Wilson added, "The premise of Eat Yourself Sexy is so refreshing. The series is about changing your eating patterns to not just lose weight, but feel better about yourself and regain confidence, energy and sexual spark. I think Australians will learn a lot from this show… it goes into the kitchens and bedrooms of everyday women and holds a mirror up to our habits.”
