RTE's Operations Transformation came under fire once again on Wednesday night as viewers slammed the show for asking one leader to weigh out a piece of chocolate.
The leader chose to have a triangle of Toblerone and, before doing so, weighed the piece and cut it in half.
The diet plan had suggested that the OT leader could have 20g of chocolate a week. However, some viewers were left in shock after the clip aired.
Taking to Twitter to express their frustrations, one person said: "I'm no expert… Clearly.… But 20 g of chocolate a week is ridiculous especially if you need to cut a triangle of a Toblerone in half.
"Plus, the contents of every chocolate bar and brand has different ingredient levels. Rant over."
While a second said: "Cutting a piece of Toblerone in half because a diet tells you to is not normal eating does not help to improve your relationship with food".
However, fans of the show were quick to jump to the defence, saying people were forgetting the positive impacts the show has on people's lives.
They said: "I think this narrative of #OperationTransformation being damaging is madness.
"It is educating people on healthy eating and exercising while also teaching people how to cook healthy meals. If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it."
A second person wrote: "Giving up smoking fighting depression, Battling low self esteem And wanting a healthy lifestyle Amazing programme I need their inspiration especially in January".
The news comes after Operations Transformation was criticised by Bodywhys, the eating association of Ireland, as it said the show "continues to be triggering for them (viewers), causes them distress and impacts negatively on their mental health".
"Although the show has a positive objective intending to bring focus to health and wellbeing, the considerable emphasis on dieting, body weight and shape and the way these are measured, collectively counted and presented, create a community sanctioned dieting culture that research shows does little to achieve long-lasting weight loss or health promotion."
RTE defended the show saying that over the years, the series has developed and changed to promote a healthy lifestyle.
RTE told TheJournal, the programme has "evolved considerably over the years and now encompasses a more holistic approach to adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle as well as losing weight".
