"Health and Fitness" is the 34th episode of the second season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. After Carey reads about healthy eating during Health and Fitness week, she insists that Zack goes on a "cold turkey" diet, and Cody tries to help Chef Paolo eat better. Meanwhile, London and Maddie try to make their figures better to fit dresses for a fashion show.
Story[]
Carey is concerned about Zack's eating habits so she switches his diet to eating meat, bread, fruit, and vegetables. In a similar way, Cody notices that Chef Paolo is distressed about his cholesterol test not going well, and vows to help him. However, Chef Paolo doesn't adjust to this well, and Cody discovers his bad habits, such as eating an entire pot of soup while unsupervised. These habits continue, including Chef Paolo attempting to sneak food past Cody after receiving praise for doing so well to avoid overeating. Cody decides to take Chef Paolo under his wing and have him spend the night in the twins' apartment to avoid the allure of the food at home. At midnight, Chef Paolo looks for a snack, only to be discovered by Zack, doing the same thing. The two decide to go down to the hotel kitchen where they keep a ten-pound block of chocolate.
Carey and Cody discover Zack and Paolo violently gorging themselves in the kitchen. Carey manages to compromise with Zack to moderate his diet, and the two head back up to their suite. Cody remains with Paolo, and chews him out for indulging against Cody's desperate teachings. He stands up to the chef, and storms out, vocally having given up on him. The next day, Cody discovers that Chef Paolo has finally digested what Cody was trying to say, and has started taking an effort to eat better.
Subplot[]
As part of the health and fitness week that spawned the cholesterol test, London and Maddie participate in a charity fashion show. They get insulted by Francesca, a rich friend of London's, who claims Maddie is too skinny and London is fat. Due to body dysmorphia, the two resort to drastic measures to feel more comfortable with themselves, with London starving herself to lose weight (anorexia) and Maddie eating as much as possible to avoid being underweight (binge eating disorder). Mr. Moseby tells them to stop and that they are fine just the way they are, but the two girls do not listen. As a result, on the day of the show, London is extremely lightheaded and Maddie is feeling bloated. While on the runway, Maddie lets out a huge belch. London then has a fainting spell and falls into Maddie. They tear down a curtain, exposing Francesca stuffing her bra. The two realize that Moseby was right and agree not to worry what others think of their bodies.

Trivia[]
- It's ironic that in this episode, Carey is insistent on Zack's eating habits, while in the previous episode, she was shown to be quite a bad eater herself.
- This episode was the "never before seen" episode on the "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana" DVD.
- Georgina Rosso, who plays Francesca, is the older sister of Camilla and Rebecca Rosso.
- This episode tackled the issue of eating disorders, as shown when London and Maddie struggled with anorexia and binge eating when convinced that they needed to change their bodies in order to fit in their dresses for the charity fashion show.
- Chef Paolo says that bacon bits was found in his blood test, a likely reference to how blood is tested for drugs.
Goofs[]
- When Francesca pays Maddie and London to insult them, she says she's spent $50. However, she only gave them one bill each. Since there are no twenty-five dollar bills, Francesca could not have spent fifty dollars.
- When Chef Paolo stays with the Martins, he sleeps on the hide-a-bed, where Carey would normally sleep. However, aside from the bathroom and the twins' room, there are no other rooms where Carey could've slept.
- Zack was shown to like vegetables at the end of the episode The Suite Smell of Excess but he didn’t like them at all until the end of this episode.
