Diederik Jekel thought Fat Happy, which he presented together with Patty Brard, one of the most difficult programs he has made. Especially since it was very personal, he says in The Parool.
“It was also about me, I had to take my worries into it, which I found difficult. But if you ask other people to be personal, you also have to be vulnerable,” said the 35-year-old Jekel.
In the program, Jekel and Brard investigated the consequences of obesity from a scientific and cultural point of view. Jekel is currently successfully getting rid of his overweight: “I have lost a lot of weight in recent months.”
“I’m in therapy, there were some unprocessed things that didn’t make me feel worth caring for. I didn’t have any herbs in the house, barely cooked. Now that something has fallen into place, I like it more fun and worth exercising and cooking every day. I have now lost 13, 14 kilos. “
