OOPS! Sorry - it was early in the morning for some of us, and that's what comes of reading the tiny digital clock at the bottom of my computer screen without bothering to put on my reading glasses

So yes, the programmes are on tonight, Wednesday 5th January 2022

A interesting New Scientist article last week, The Indulgence Effect. which suggests the way we perceive 'healthy' food may be the secret to successful dieting.
Some experiments where they gave subjects foods labelled as healthy and some tasty found that the subjects who ate the 'healthy' foods ate more at the next meal or were more likely to snack than those who had the 'tasty' foods even though they were identical meals.
A bit more complicated than that but could explain why people perceive that if they cut the carbs they are going to feel deprived and hungry.

So more psychological ?
