So, your New Year’s resolution involves healthier eating but you’re also deeply committed to convenience? Channel 5 has a show for you: “The Air Fryer Diet: Lose Weight, Cook Fast.” Because apparently, the countertop appliance that crisps everything in sight is also the key to shedding those holiday pounds. Who knew?
Presented by Cherry Healey, the series pits traditional cooking methods against the air fryer, presumably to demonstrate the latter’s supposed health benefits. Nutritionist Jenny Tschieshe is on hand to explain the calorie comparisons and offer tips on utilizing pantry staples, while air fryer chef Dan Edwards supplies quick recipes. Because let’s face it, if a recipe requires more than 15 minutes and a single mixing bowl, it’s not happening in January. Expect celebrity endorsements and social media food trends to make an appearance as well, because what’s a diet show without a gratuitous influencer cameo?
“The Air Fryer Diet” premieres on Channel 5 on Wednesday, 8 January, 2025, at 8:00 PM.
