Me too im tiny compared to most here but at 5'7" im 153 but muscly too and i feel huge mainly because my ideal weight is 135-140 (so basically lesss than a stone overweight but stiññ over my weight) i can see where my fat is and i dont like it 😐
I agree. I only want to lose around 3kg/6 lbs and my biggest problem is 'grazing'. I've been doing some research into the matter and it turns out I just need something to do with my hands instead of nibbling on something while watching the TV. So I've taken up coloring in a coloring book and drinking mineral water and I feel how it soothes my urges to nibble.
@@thornyback those paint with Dimond things are really good at distracting you. Give one a try . The sparkles and jewls look nice and focus you on that.
Agreed. I need to lose 10 pounds, (I'm 135 at 5'1") and people always say "you don't need to lose weight." Yes I do, but obesity is so common now, that people think I'm thin. I'm happy they did an episode like this.
So true. I've put on half a stone in 2 years. I'm still average BMI but I know this is the heaviest I've been. I've started slimming world before it gets to a point where I'm overweight. Prevention is easier than the cure!
That was the first time I heard someone on this show say "I feel so stupid" because she's eating 4000kcal in a day then coming on the show saying I don't know why I'm putting on weight. Normally they still plead ignorance when they see the evidence.
I had a similar experience. Okay, I wasn't putting away 4k worth of calories, but it was a lot more than the 1200 I had guessed by eyeballing. When I started actually weighing my food... Oh no. I'm using how much oil to fry my healthy chicken breast? I'm putting how many grams of peanut butter on my small piece of toast? There's how much in a chocolate wafer?! I felt like a complete fool, but at least I'm no longer in denial. Lost 9kg so far!
These are actually pretty good episodes. They have a variety of people in their show, like these two sisters who were not yet that massive, and these episodes really make you think about all the munchies during the day. And the show is not mean, like "die fatty die", but rather encouraging through some humour as well.
It's not effective to be cruel as shocking as that may be for some people to consider. I agree their approach is great and I am taking notes as a trainer.
If they're rude and cruel i think it would mostly just traumatize them and they could possibly end up at the opposite side of the weight scale or maybe become even heavier by eating the pain away
its almost like we know bullying and humiliating people for being overweight doesn't help them lose weight. You wouldn't know it reading some of the video comments though
Easy, when you don't know you're being followed. They take advantage of words, like they do in legal documents. "We will be filming your *every* move, so we'll start by setting up cameras in your home." They lie by omission lol they forget to mention the cameras they will be using to get you when you go out. They exploit the fact that they know their behaviour WILL be influenced by cameras (as if you can forget you're being watched), hence why most of the sneaky behaviour occurs when they leave the house.
I applaud Lauren. She’s the FIRST person I saw so far to admit that she just eats too much so that’s why she’s losing weight instead of standing there looking for another answer other than the obvious
She's not the first. Many people on this show take responsibility for what they ate and recognize their mistakes. There was just one woman in season 1 who was in deep denial and did not appear for the last weigh in but otherwise all the British contestants are open minded and follow the guidance of the dietician and lose weight.
Pretty sure no one would be dumb enough to continue the relationship when they know they're being surveilled by a television company and have signed all the relevant waivers or whatever it is they sign to be on the show.
They film all the episodes before airing any of them. So the people in the later episodes won’t have actually seen the fake café used previously, because the previous episodes hadn’t aired yet.
@ThePoliticalDude123 how exactly do you think these are filmed? You think they just start filming next episode after the previous one already got aired? It's not how tv shows work, they are all filmed in advance, then edited then they air them after whole season is finished. And in first season there was no cafe, so it is new thing for people in this season. It's still pointless element but no, people in this season don't know about it.
@@lizc6393 not really, she didn’t say it in a rude way just like oh? Probably just trying to hold her accountable because she clearly wasn’t paying attention to the munching. And the mom knew she was trying to cut back as obviously she was on this show.
@@Mackenzie-Ann I guess it depends on the family. I had a friend who's mother gaslit her and drove her sense of self worth into the ground over the years with little passive aggressive comments everyday. Death by a thousand cuts.
@@lizc6393 That’s very true, I agree with you! I just felt in this instance the mother meant no harm and was just trying to hold her accountable for her personal goals!
yeah, most people are much closer to this than super obese. they're checking their behaviour before it's a huge problem and are probably going to stay healthy
I'm glad these women are sorting things out early. On June 28th, I was 1lb away from going into the overweight category and it was enough to make me wake up and sort out my diet. Since then, I've lost 11lbs and am making sure I'm eating healthily and at a calorific deficit, plus I've started increasing my activity. My overweight and obese friends somewhat mock me for my behaviour but is it not better to sort it out before we're stones overweight?
Bunchy Bunch 100% agree with you on this one !! It’s extremely good to be self aware and not in denial about ur weight and eating habits, and really good that you realized early on before things started Spiraling out of control bc trust me it’s much much harder to gain back control of your weight after going off the deep end. I also think ur friends should be more supportive of you making healthier choices just don’t let them Deter you from continuing on ur health journey ! And you could also encourage them to join you on ur health journey. But good on you for losing that weight and being healthier i know what it feels like to be overweight and i know how sweet that satisfaction of reaching ur goals. Wish u the best of luck!!
@@axeraw3813 Bless, you, Ella, that's such a kind comment. Thank you! I've tried encouraging my bigger friends, just inviting them to walk with me or even just to encourage each other once a week (and not necessarily discuss numbers of lbs lost), but I don't think they're ready yet. I'll be here for them if and when they need me. I have several health issues--a couple of which leave me with mobility issues--so it's a challenge but is even more reason to stay healthy. I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to face losing a lot of weight. I wish you a long and healthy life!
Wish everyone the best. Great idea to get it under control when you notice a steady gain. Was putting on 10 pounds a year, changed after the third year.
Bunchy Bunch Well done! Don‘t ever be discouraged. Are you feeling better/accomplished today? What else did you change? I have (various) friends who are younger and can barely breathe, find a step counter stressful, are under 40, smoke, drink or one 70+ very mentally fit person who is obese but will eat cheese after 8pm and gulps wine every 2nd day (and barely moves; sits 5 hours in front of the telly every day). I just lost 4lb cutting sugar and I‘m far from overweight but just health aware (put on weight thanks to crisps and eating out in the past 4 years). Stay self-aware and always check with science around digestion and immunity. Your body will appreciate every move made and every calorie saved - may you inspire in the long run and live a disease free life 😉🙏🏻
@@StepHanie-fb9nn Wow, I wrote that a long time ago! I went on to lose a total of two stone and have kept it off, even through the lockdown (and I'm on lockdown for the foreseeable future because I'm high risk). I'm missing my walks, though. 😔
See I agree I’m only 2 stone overweight but that doesn’t mean I want to wait around until I’m 18 stone and risking a heart attack. It’s good to be conscious of yourself.
'only two stone overweight' uhm this isn't really realistic is it. Shouldn't you be rude and realistic to yourself saying you are TWO(!!!) stone overweight and need to work asap to become healthy. Every single day being overweight is a day less on this planet
Sylwia Kaźmierczak Depends on where you measure from. If I would gain 2 stone, my BMI would still (but barely) be in the healthy range. So calculating overweight in that way, me weighting 2 stone extra wouldn’t be too bad. Bad if 2 stone overweight is calculated being (barely) in the ‘healthy range’, I could be 4 stone heavier than I’m now, but be “2 stone overweight”. Then I wouldn’t say ‘only’, because I would be 84kg instead of 60kg. That would be almost half the weight I’m now EXTRA.
No because I’m in good shape. My BMI isn’t out of control, it’s in the overweight and not obese bracket. I walk over 33,000 steps a day, go to the gym, and did I mention I live in the US. I know people hundreds of pounds over weight so 20 pounds is nothing in comparison. But see as someone who has studied fitness and nutrition I know my somatotype falls at an even split between a mesomoroph and an endomoroph. My dad’s kids all tend to be very tall and very muscular endomorphs who might weigh 200lbs but are also 6 foot tall personal trainers in ridiculous shape. But see muscle weighs more than fat. While I’m the smallest sibling I am very short but muscular I still tip the scales 18lbs higher than I’d like, so I can’t quite work out how I can hit that “ideal weight,” but keep my muscle tone at the same time. I need muscle and endurance for what I do in a day, but I don’t want to go past a certain weight either it’s tricky.
If you walk 33k steps a day and manage to go to the gym you're eating a ton of food if you manage to be overweight. As long as you keep exercising while losing wieght you won't lose muscle..
I like this. It’s like a “light weight edition “ and approaches the average size person whom is overweight and needs to find the resolution to proper weight size VS seeing constant supersize people. This should be a spin off series, secret eaters light weight edition 🤗 it’ll help the average size person watching.
I like how this also shows people who are just overweight and not obese. This is how it starts. And it's easier to make the change a few kilos overweight. One doesn't need to be obese to start being aware of what they eat.
I am the exact type of eater that Stephanie is. I didn’t gain weight from eating big portions, I gained weight from always choosing some easy junk food meal that had way too many calories in its small portion. Now that I’ve changed what type of food I eat I lost the extra weight and I didn’t even have to change my portions. I didn’t even have to stop eating ready meals, I just eat better ones now and don’t have any junk food snacks in between. Everyone is a different type of eater and it’s important to know which kind you are to find the method that works for you. Not every type of diet is going to work for everyone. For me, I don’t even really like food that much, I just ate junk food because it was convenient.
Same! Replacing my easy high carb go-tos with low cal/high protein nutritious options has helped me tons! I can't really change that intrinsic part of my personality that likes to graze and grab quick things, so I might as well work with what I have and set myself up for success.
Such lovely and beautiful young ladies... Respect for seeking help at the beginning of the problem, not when it's already gone far. Also - about the crisps and stuff; I'd add that since it's cheaper to buy big bags you can buy them, weigh them out and put them into different zipper bags
I really enjoy these programs. Many people, myself included, have eaten mindlessly and are unaware of the number and type of calories consumed on a daily basis. In the western world, food is everywhere and always available. Much more education is needed, but food manufacturers have far more influence over marketing and policy than most of us are aware. I applaud and thank these people for being so brave and coming forward. They are helping countless other people.
17:58 is pretty strong stuff. You can see her going from feeling pretty proud about herself to being absolutely devastated in moment. I hope they're doing well, they're both cute as hell and seem very aware.
They use students when dishing out free food. Most students are struggling when juggling money and cooking for themselves and would rather spend it on partying, so if you give them an opportunity to have a free meal they will pile it high. Too right.
I don't understand why they recommended the same number of calories for both of them when one of them is training for a marathon and likely burning more calories than the other.
Because…? She’s shorter and also weights more/ has a higher BMI? TDEE don’t only take into account exercise but also BMI.I kid u not, someone shorter than me has a maintenance of what I can eat and lose a few pounds a week. Also if this is a weight loss plan, starting weight and starting BMI is also a big factor. Laura has a higher BMI than Stephanie…
Noodles and rice does not make you fat...the biggest lie straight from the meat and diary industry. I eat loads of whole fiber carbs and have lost 34 lbs so far.
Exactly. I find that cutting any categories of food sets me up to fail every time. If I can't say no to fast food, I get a kids meal. If I have a low resistance day, I get one candy bar and end it, verses before when it was a whole box of Debbie cakes to eat in one sitting
I pray hard that they bring this show back. Lord knows we need it. The absolute chuff produced these days you’d think they could do something useful like this?!
i agree - but with all the social media, they would get slammed everywhere for body shaming, fat shaming, etc. eventhough they are just trying to educate - but someone would cause a huff saying they are making fun and would try to cancel it because everyone is so sensitive these days and are looking for a reason to be a victim
I started eating healthier and my eczema is looking so much better. It's not gone, but it's a lot easier to manage with the right medication. When I was obese, not even the strongest cremes seemed to make a dent.
Yeah but unfortunately we know now exercise won't help you lose weight. Well short of being an athlete. Easy to look back on this show in hindsight though.
Lauren is the only person I've seen on here to ever have a come to Jesus moment during the confrontation. "I feel so stupid" once she relives she knows the truth. Good for her. This show I think truly helps people and should be brought to the USA asap.
the younger sibling is actually really lucky to have stayed an acceptable size judging by the amount of junk she ate. She didn't look the amount she weighed ether. Think they said 12 stone odd. she doesn't look that, i don't think, anyway.
Well to be fair she’s quite active. Even she doesn’t go to the gym, she’s on her feet and moving quite a lot. So here’s a story about my 2 sisters - one of them goes to the gym but other times just lie on the couch. The one who doesn’t go to the gym has ADHD, very pumppy, never really sitting, moving a lot, alwyas very energetic etc. but she’s 12 pounds less then the other sister. They eat the same thing - what my mum makes for us.
I think it's also a big problem to eat in front of the telly. You stare at the screen and don't realise the amount of food you are consuming. I eat at my dining table and focus on what I eat and I was able to notice that I eat not as much as I did when I was eating in front of the telly.
Very good show concept, but I will say the remark about breakfast being the most important meal of the day is not scientifically backed up. As a matter of fact, BREAKing your FAST can happen at any time in the day, like when you're...y'know, hungry. There are actually some reported health benefits of intermittent fasting and waiting a little longer to eat your first meal.
I still don't get how people can be so oblivious to what they eat. She honestly seemed like she was shocked at what was exposed. If you run 10 miles a day and you're gaining weight, then you're eating too much. You can't out train a bad diet.
Yes, but her I actually do kind of understand... 10 miles seems like a lot (and is) and makes you hungrier... So it leaves you thinking "oh well the food can't be THAT bad now" + she probably thought that since she was eating mostly homemade meals that she wasn't getting that many calories... But I don't understand the other sister really, all she ate was takeaways - and often... As a lot of people in that show do and you can literally look up the calories in the takeaways from the internet so I'm more likely more confused about that.
@@xLostInFirex That is true. A lot of people exercise then "treat" themselves to something which undid all their hard work. But to say, "I almost never drink. I drink maybe once a week." and then turns out she drinks every day! I feel like everyone in the UK needs to go to AA. And like you said, I don't know how it was a mystery for the other girl. She admitted she only ate tv dinners. Does she really think tv dinners are healthy and slimming?
@@suicune2001 yes, it actually baffles me how people think that alcohol doesn't have calories... It's literally gotten from fruit/starch sugar mostly + tons of added sugar is being added to ciders, wines, etc... This should be talked about more because it seems like a lot of people have no idea... And it's a dumb law that you don't have to show the calories in drinks to the label, I guess it's to blame for a lot - people think that since it's not in the label it doesn't excist. And I think it would help reduce drinking too
@@xLostInFirex Wait, drinks don't have to show how many calories are in it?? HOW?? That is some serious lobbying power right there. :( but honestly, I don't think it would matter. People clearly don't read labels anyway.
I don't understand how she can say she tracks what she eats but is still a "secret eater". It's not hard to write down everything you eat, there's a million apps
@@baronmeduse LOL no, it doesn't work like that. Keeping hydrated actually staves off hunger. A lot of the times when you're hungry you are actually thirsty. Drinking plenty of water has been linked with a reduction of calories.
@@taniar523 You can't hydrate yourself more than you need, homeostasis dictates this and anything beyond that goes into the toilet, especially when there is little else in your stomach. Plus the diluted salt. If a person is drinking water in an attempt to offset hunger (and avoid calories), they are clearly hungry. Don't start a post with 'LOL' when you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
Last bit what she said was wrong. "It's about what you eat not how much you eat". Erm no it IS about how much you eat otherwise you're over eating and gaining weight! Even "healthy" foods can make you gain weight if you're over consuming! 🤦🏽♀️
But the body doesn't stop eating when you reach your daily need of calories. If it did, they wouldn't be eating 4,000 calories a day. You can eat 10 pounds of broccoli a day and not meet your calorie needs and you'd be eating MASSIVE amounts of food. It's about calorie density and being mindful of what part of the spectrum you are eating.
Not quite... it's about calories. A PT recently ate nothing but Twinkies (but under calorie restriction) and lost weight. He was trying to prove it's just about calorie deficit, and it is.
I think they meant something a little different. Obviously the amount you eat in calories is most important, but how much you eat in like amount of food doesn’t matter as much if you’re eating only fruits and veggies. So you can eat 30 apples and it’s more food but better for you than 10 cheeseburgers
You can generally eat much larger portions of healthier food for the same number of calories. A big plate of salad, filled with vegetables, vs 1/4 burger. That is what I think they meant by that.
I only recently discovered this, but I can't stop watching it. It's absolutely fascinating from a sociological perspective. I see a lot of people's poor choices as simple ignorance of basic nutrition, which should be properly taught in school. One thing I wish this show did was ask the participants, "How many calories do you suppose is in this meal?" I imagine that most people have no idea how much they're eating, calorically speaking. I used to be a personal trainer and I would have my clients give me food journals. Unfortunately, I had no idea how much people "lie" (to me as much as to themselves) and that they were basically worthless (the journals, not the clients). In fact, asking for food journals was probably detrimental to designing an overall diet and exercise plan. How can someone, with a straight face, ask, "Why am I putting on so much weight?" and at the same time eat microwave pizzas? Simply astonishing. Edit* I just watched the end of the episode. I am shocked to see that they weighed themselves on a scale that was on carpet... A sure fire way to lose weight is to weigh yourself on a scale that is on tile, and then not change anything about your normal routine. Then, a week later, put your scale on some shag carpet and weight yourself again.
How can someone, with a straight face, ask, "Why am I putting on so much weight?" and at the same time eat microwave pizzas? Simply astonishing. because people underestimate the caloric worth of their food, thats all there is too it.
I mean as calorific as that, some DO eat garbage like that and are very thin because they don't eat regularly. If you eat way less than you need, processed garbage diet or not you will be thin. If you watch supersize vs superskinny you'll see how some of the "skinnies" have shocking diets. Devoid of plenty nutrients bit not necessarily low fat or sugar. If you only eat a quarter pounder, a few coffees and the odd snack within a couple days that's nowhere near enough calories, nevermind nutrients.
@@eb7446 Yes, If someone eats at a calorie deficit, it doesn't matter what they put into their bodies; they absolutely will not gain weight. That is obvious. However, that is clearly not what is happening here. These people are simply delusional.
35:00 does anyone else get incredibly surprised by the calorie totals? 3 chips ahoy cookies alone (comparable to the biscuits she was eating) are 160, average candy bar is about 250 so that’s 250+250+2 servings of cookies 160+160= That’s 820! I know this because I am a sweets enthusiast. Now I know that I cannot guesstimate around the calories of these foods but I have eaten enough candy and cookies to see 6 cookies and 2 candy bars only 600 calories that’s an absolute steal!
Calories add up quickly. I’m trying to and a stone. It’s hard because I’m breastfeeding my baby. If I pay attention to calories, I eat 2000 cals. I need to watch out for chocolate and healthy high fat foods, calories add up super quickly
@@JesseSwaney no. It is more that the u.s. is world famous and globally ridiculed for being an obese nation. What it is saying is “careful, don’t be complacent, you are nearly as bad as the ones the world mocks.”
@@JesseSwaneyit’s called dark humor. It’s part of British comedy, it’s how we joke it’s not picking on the USA or envy. I know Americans cannot fathom this concept but just know it’s not as deep as your making it out
@makeytgreatagain6256 Again, "Americans can't fathom." They're so much dumber than we Brits, etc.. Dude.. I'm literally trolling you right now, and /whoosh! Being satirical comes from a higher understanding of the subject. But who cares anyway, I suppose. It's not like I could possibly grasp or fathom the complexity of dark humor. I'm just a stupid American, after all.
I was in the exact same situation. Last year I was 12 pounds overweight at 20 years old. Since then I have lost around 22 pounds and feel much more healthy. Best to do it early on, before it becomes a real problem.
Good on them for nipping the weight gain in the bud while they are young. I wish someone had intervened with my weight gain...100# ago! Yikes. I do find it interesting that British people love those beans so much. Reminds me of pork-n-beans, which I hated eating growing up but we had them all the time. Ick. Too sweet.
@@houghton841 I'm Brazilian we eat a lot of beans but none are sweetened. Why are your beans sweet? We seasoned ours with salt, pepper, bay leaves, onions, garlic and sometimes we put cow meat and sausages and other salty pork meats. Like you really season beans with soy sauce? And what you use to cook them with? You guys put sugar in it? I always assumed they are salty because I saw them in plates with eggs and sausages and bread. I'm curious now.
And it seems that most of the free food comes in the form of pizza and donuts. Put away the lasagna and fries and give us a nice salad and sandwich bar, please.
My daughter does uni and she is very over weight so where are these poor students no money why are they gaining weight if they are to poor 2 buy food u get thousands of pounds in students fees!
This episode is the most relatable to me because we're almost at the same age with same unconscious weight gain, I get a wake up call one day when my blood pressure spike up more than usual and I almost end up staying at the hospital. Now I'm slowly lose the weight from 76kg to 63kg when I got rid of my snacking and lack of sleep habit. I never feel any better now :)
12 stone 9 is the highest weight i ever got to, I'm 12 stone now and dropping :) i may not be obese but lots of people who aren't obese want to lose weight too! 10.7 stone is my goal :)
i saw your comment and thought yeah thats BS its not going to be much different. then i weighed myself, on carpet 57.9kg, on a hard surface over 65kg. damn that is a pretty big difference
I just tried it as well, I was 14 kg lighter on the carpet... That's a massive difference! Makes me wonder if the people on these shows have lost any weight at all.
@ meow cat not all saturated fats are bad, some like coconut oil for example are quite healthy. and while i agree that added sugar has no nutritional value other than serving as energy, calling it literal poison is overdramatic. eating a slice of cake on your birthday isn’t gonna kill you🙄
toy gummy bear.. Your just spreading the stereotype of negative vegans who like the force others into guilt. I’m vegetarian and well aware of the horrors of the dairy industry. But sometimes you don’t want to get bogged down in negativity. Try and spread a more positive constructive message :)
The reason of team A eating from large bag eating the most can be that people tend to not waste food and that's why they ate more with a thought to complete the whole packet
When I look at this through the lens of the calorie density approach, I see what was going on. Everyone wants to feel full via the stomachs stretch receptors, using less calorie dense foods would have filled them up without all the calories all the time. Best wishes to all for their bravery for taking this show on.
I’m happy to see an episode where the girls look like me. I got up to 145 lbs, but I’m only 5’2. I was able to get back down to 120 but gained a lot of it back. I really have to think about calories all the time. It’s really easy to gain when you’re not being conscious.
@@Yassmiinn.don’t feel awful. I was 156 (my highest ever) at 5’1” like 7 months ago. Slow and steady, I weighed 144lbs as of yesterday. Just don’t stop. Seriously. I had many days where I over ate and things. But I always went right back on the wagon. You can do it
@@logbia7k608 Not for everyone. In fact, for many people (including me) if I eat breakfast in the morning I am inclined to want to continue eating afterwards. I generally don't eat until later in the day and it stops me over-eating. :-)
T Bolger I’m the same way! I usually don’t eat until 12-2 even iff I get up at 7am because I will eat wayyy too much throughout the day. I eat dinner around 10-11pm when I’m done exercising
@Odins Sage I'm in a healthy weight range now. I lost 50 pounds by cutting out breakfast. Cutting it out (and the inevitable snacking that it would trigger) created the caloric deficit I needed to get rid of the surplus weight I was carrying. 😊
people are different, some people skip breakfast and then get a dip and need a boost and overcompensate with a bigger lunch. For me I can take or leave it, I eat if I'm hungry
Lovely girls and good that they tackle their unhealthy way of eating and that they both have lost weight steadily. But if they had stuck to their suggested calorie intake they should have been able to loose twice as much given the calorie deficit between their new & old food intake. Hope they kept going.
I luurvvve all these beginning when they say i duno why im overweight all i eat is healthy all i drink is water and boom fast food chocolate biscuits alcohol fruit juice cream double cream
Man those are students we all have no Money are constantly Hungry ans when there is free food i Sure as hell will load up my Plate and maybe eat something later
It would be nice to do A programme also about Portion Control, Comfort eaters, I think more people also suffer from this eating disorder...me including. 😭😭
If it’s anything like the US they can’t go too far because of the different food industries (I.e. beef, dairy, etc) advertise and they don’t want to lose the money.
31:19 That's why in the supermarkets the small bags of crisps are sold in "multipacks" but the single large packs are sold as "sharing" crisps because there's no way anyone would share it and they'll eat more in one go. Obviously they should call the multipacks the sharing crisps.
Same. I'm really good at saying no at the grocery store. The problem is my husband goes to the corner store to buy snacks every day, and he always asks if I want some.... so I'll say no again. But he'll ALWAYS buy me a chocolate bar anyway. It's easy to say no the first two times, but by the third time when the snack is right there on the counter it's so hard 😂😭
it's really helpfull series! Now I understood why sometimes I eat more than I should. It's all about your mind and psychology! So it means more you know about eating and food less you eat (calories)!
Most people liked the chocolate covered vegetables?? I mean Im a chocolate lover but give me that crap and il seperate the two, and yep delicious BY THEMSELVES!
They both are really pretty. It's refreshing to see a weight loss show with people who are not necessarily obese. I can relate to them much more

Agreed. I need to lose 10 pounds, (I'm 135 at 5'1") and people always say "you don't need to lose weight." Yes I do, but obesity is so common now, that people think I'm thin. I'm happy they did an episode like this.
So true. I've put on half a stone in 2 years. I'm still average BMI but I know this is the heaviest I've been. I've started slimming world before it gets to a point where I'm overweight. Prevention is easier than the cure!
Yeah, I'm glad there's an episode catered to average person like us.
Agreed! I'm now 118 and 5 ft. I still have pudge and would like to just keep eating better and healthier. This show is inspiring!
Quite lovely they are. Losing 15-20 lbs would do me some good.
That was the first time I heard someone on this show say "I feel so stupid" because she's eating 4000kcal in a day then coming on the show saying I don't know why I'm putting on weight. Normally they still plead ignorance when they see the evidence.
Plus many of them don't eat like they usually do, when they know they are being watched.
Maybe that’s why they aren’t that overweight
Yup and I totally felt sympathy for her! She was just eating mindlessly like many people but wasn't in denial once she saw the evidence.
I had a similar experience. Okay, I wasn't putting away 4k worth of calories, but it was a lot more than the 1200 I had guessed by eyeballing. When I started actually weighing my food... Oh no. I'm using how much oil to fry my healthy chicken breast? I'm putting how many grams of peanut butter on my small piece of toast? There's how much in a chocolate wafer?! I felt like a complete fool, but at least I'm no longer in denial. Lost 9kg so far!
Yea, she seemed very ashamed. I felt bad for her. But I hope she reached her goal and found more happiness in health!
These 2 are sweet hearts. They didn't know what they were doing wrong, but took on board their mistakes. No excuses.
These are actually pretty good episodes. They have a variety of people in their show, like these two sisters who were not yet that massive, and these episodes really make you think about all the munchies during the day. And the show is not mean, like "die fatty die", but rather encouraging through some humour as well.
It's not effective to be cruel as shocking as that may be for some people to consider. I agree their approach is great and I am taking notes as a trainer.
If they're rude and cruel i think it would mostly just traumatize them and they could possibly end up at the opposite side of the weight scale or maybe become even heavier by eating the pain away
its almost like we know bullying and humiliating people for being overweight doesn't help them lose weight. You wouldn't know it reading some of the video comments though
“die fatty die” got me cackling lmao
@@stellar__guy 😂 some shows are like that haha
“You can’t outrun a bad diet” is a great proverb and actually very sound advice.
Very true. I also like, “Abs are made in the kitchen.”
It's crazy how you could be followed by 2 men, watching your every move for a whole week and not even notice.
A whole camera crew even?!
Cheyenne Fourie: And they where soooo obvious and not even discreet. Go figure!
O my goodness now THATS got me paranoid
Easy, when you don't know you're being followed.
They take advantage of words, like they do in legal documents. "We will be filming your *every* move, so we'll start by setting up cameras in your home."
They lie by omission lol they forget to mention the cameras they will be using to get you when you go out.
They exploit the fact that they know their behaviour WILL be influenced by cameras (as if you can forget you're being watched), hence why most of the sneaky behaviour occurs when they leave the house.
They know it it's part f agreement but they have to as usual...it's not like somebody is following you to kill you.
I applaud Lauren. She’s the FIRST person I saw so far to admit that she just eats too much so that’s why she’s losing weight instead of standing there looking for another answer other than the obvious
lmfao its teh land whales that do that
Because she's not looking for self-assertion, but for a scientific , logical way to solve her weight problem. That's intelligence!
She's not the first. Many people on this show take responsibility for what they ate and recognize their mistakes. There was just one woman in season 1 who was in deep denial and did not appear for the last weigh in but otherwise all the British contestants are open minded and follow the guidance of the dietician and lose weight.
i wonder if they've ever caught a cheating spouse on this show
That would be funny. Having dinner at home then 'popping out' and having a second 'romantic' meal with the mistress. 🤣🤣
Same
Pretty sure no one would be dumb enough to continue the relationship when they know they're being surveilled by a television company and have signed all the relevant waivers or whatever it is they sign to be on the show.

nicole element of surprise...and the Shock factor hits you pretty hard
nicole: No your not alone!! I initially thought it was to tempt them but no.
feels like they made it and now the network makes them use it to get their moneys worth
They film all the episodes before airing any of them. So the people in the later episodes won’t have actually seen the fake café used previously, because the previous episodes hadn’t aired yet.
@ThePoliticalDude123 how exactly do you think these are filmed? You think they just start filming next episode after the previous one already got aired? It's not how tv shows work, they are all filmed in advance, then edited then they air them after whole season is finished. And in first season there was no cafe, so it is new thing for people in this season. It's still pointless element but no, people in this season don't know about it.
I love the mum throwing shade

a697ag right!!! Bahahahaha
It's kinda fucked up honestly.
@@lizc6393 not really, she didn’t say it in a rude way just like oh? Probably just trying to hold her accountable because she clearly wasn’t paying attention to the munching. And the mom knew she was trying to cut back as obviously she was on this show.
@@Mackenzie-Ann I guess it depends on the family. I had a friend who's mother gaslit her and drove her sense of self worth into the ground over the years with little passive aggressive comments everyday. Death by a thousand cuts.
@@lizc6393 That’s very true, I agree with you! I just felt in this instance the mother meant no harm and was just trying to hold her accountable for her personal goals!
This and Supersize vs Superskinny keeps me motivated and in check. However it is refreshing to see more average sized girls rather than huge people
yeah, most people are much closer to this than super obese. they're checking their behaviour before it's a huge problem and are probably going to stay healthy
The Brits sure love their baked beans. I haven't seen a single episode where they weren't eating them.

I hate beans and I’m British
Am in Uk and can confirm its engrained into our culture, i hate them though lol

Beans and toast hits different...
I'm glad these women are sorting things out early. On June 28th, I was 1lb away from going into the overweight category and it was enough to make me wake up and sort out my diet. Since then, I've lost 11lbs and am making sure I'm eating healthily and at a calorific deficit, plus I've started increasing my activity. My overweight and obese friends somewhat mock me for my behaviour but is it not better to sort it out before we're stones overweight?
Bunchy Bunch 100% agree with you on this one !! It’s extremely good to be self aware and not in denial about ur weight and eating habits, and really good that you realized early on before things started Spiraling out of control bc trust me it’s much much harder to gain back control of your weight after going off the deep end. I also think ur friends should be more supportive of you making healthier choices just don’t let them Deter you from continuing on ur health journey ! And you could also encourage them to join you on ur health journey. But good on you for losing that weight and being healthier i know what it feels like to be overweight and i know how sweet that satisfaction of reaching ur goals. Wish u the best of luck!!
@@axeraw3813 Bless, you, Ella, that's such a kind comment. Thank you! I've tried encouraging my bigger friends, just inviting them to walk with me or even just to encourage each other once a week (and not necessarily discuss numbers of lbs lost), but I don't think they're ready yet. I'll be here for them if and when they need me. I have several health issues--a couple of which leave me with mobility issues--so it's a challenge but is even more reason to stay healthy. I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to face losing a lot of weight. I wish you a long and healthy life!
Wish everyone the best. Great idea to get it under control when you notice a steady gain. Was putting on 10 pounds a year, changed after the third year.
Bunchy Bunch Well done! Don‘t ever be discouraged. Are you feeling better/accomplished today? What else did you change? I have (various) friends who are younger and can barely breathe, find a step counter stressful, are under 40, smoke, drink or one 70+ very mentally fit person who is obese but will eat cheese after 8pm and gulps wine every 2nd day (and barely moves; sits 5 hours in front of the telly every day). I just lost 4lb cutting sugar and I‘m far from overweight but just health aware (put on weight thanks to crisps and eating out in the past 4 years). Stay self-aware and always check with science around digestion and immunity. Your body will appreciate every move made and every calorie saved - may you inspire in the long run and live a disease free life 😉🙏🏻
@@StepHanie-fb9nn Wow, I wrote that a long time ago! I went on to lose a total of two stone and have kept it off, even through the lockdown (and I'm on lockdown for the foreseeable future because I'm high risk). I'm missing my walks, though. 😔
See I agree I’m only 2 stone overweight but that doesn’t mean I want to wait around until I’m 18 stone and risking a heart attack. It’s good to be conscious of yourself.
'only two stone overweight' uhm this isn't really realistic is it. Shouldn't you be rude and realistic to yourself saying you are TWO(!!!) stone overweight and need to work asap to become healthy. Every single day being overweight is a day less on this planet
2 stones is not ONLY 😁
Sylwia Kaźmierczak Depends on where you measure from. If I would gain 2 stone, my BMI would still (but barely) be in the healthy range. So calculating overweight in that way, me weighting 2 stone extra wouldn’t be too bad. Bad if 2 stone overweight is calculated being (barely) in the ‘healthy range’, I could be 4 stone heavier than I’m now, but be “2 stone overweight”. Then I wouldn’t say ‘only’, because I would be 84kg instead of 60kg. That would be almost half the weight I’m now EXTRA.
No because I’m in good shape. My BMI isn’t out of control, it’s in the overweight and not obese bracket. I walk over 33,000 steps a day, go to the gym, and did I mention I live in the US. I know people hundreds of pounds over weight so 20 pounds is nothing in comparison. But see as someone who has studied fitness and nutrition I know my somatotype falls at an even split between a mesomoroph and an endomoroph. My dad’s kids all tend to be very tall and very muscular endomorphs who might weigh 200lbs but are also 6 foot tall personal trainers in ridiculous shape. But see muscle weighs more than fat. While I’m the smallest sibling I am very short but muscular I still tip the scales 18lbs higher than I’d like, so I can’t quite work out how I can hit that “ideal weight,” but keep my muscle tone at the same time. I need muscle and endurance for what I do in a day, but I don’t want to go past a certain weight either it’s tricky.
If you walk 33k steps a day and manage to go to the gym you're eating a ton of food if you manage to be overweight. As long as you keep exercising while losing wieght you won't lose muscle..
I like this. It’s like a “light weight edition “ and approaches the average size person whom is overweight and needs to find the resolution to proper weight size VS seeing constant supersize people. This should be a spin off series, secret eaters light weight edition 🤗 it’ll help the average size person watching.
If my math was right, she was 174 pounds. That's not exactly slim. I was that before I lost 7, on the way down to 130. I hope
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 It's all height dependent. 174 for me would be very light.
I like how this also shows people who are just overweight and not obese. This is how it starts. And it's easier to make the change a few kilos overweight. One doesn't need to be obese to start being aware of what they eat.
"all I drink is water" - with 4 wine bottles on the background ahah
that's at their parents' house, it said she lives in her own flat in London
There’s water in wine right? 😂
R. P. Yep🤣
To be fair, we have 4 bottles in our house, but we only drink wine like 3 times/year. Often we use these bottles as going away gifts.
Sarah M. Wine always gave me terrible headaches.
My only issue is the fact everyone wears like 3 layers for weigh in. No. I'd wear leggings and a tank. Every thing counts 😂
I'd even take my earrings out hahaha
@@tracyraven7444 exactly right ?!
Wear more at first weigh in haha then less at last
@@sazzlepop321 yep! Exactly!!
Not really relevant if people wear the same both times. In any case, these folk lose a stone or so, that's an awful lot of clothing!
I am the exact type of eater that Stephanie is. I didn’t gain weight from eating big portions, I gained weight from always choosing some easy junk food meal that had way too many calories in its small portion. Now that I’ve changed what type of food I eat I lost the extra weight and I didn’t even have to change my portions. I didn’t even have to stop eating ready meals, I just eat better ones now and don’t have any junk food snacks in between. Everyone is a different type of eater and it’s important to know which kind you are to find the method that works for you. Not every type of diet is going to work for everyone. For me, I don’t even really like food that much, I just ate junk food because it was convenient.
Same! Replacing my easy high carb go-tos with low cal/high protein nutritious options has helped me tons! I can't really change that intrinsic part of my personality that likes to graze and grab quick things, so I might as well work with what I have and set myself up for success.
Such lovely and beautiful young ladies... Respect for seeking help at the beginning of the problem, not when it's already gone far.
Also - about the crisps and stuff; I'd add that since it's cheaper to buy big bags you can buy them, weigh them out and put them into different zipper bags
I really enjoy these programs. Many people, myself included, have eaten mindlessly and are unaware of the number and type of calories consumed on a daily basis. In the western world, food is everywhere and always available. Much more education is needed, but food manufacturers have far more influence over marketing and policy than most of us are aware. I applaud and thank these people for being so brave and coming forward. They are helping countless other people.
British people seem to have a lot of dinner parties.
We do lol
we hate cooking so yeah have someone else do it
Walrus Latte: My thoughts exactly. Not something lve every been to and lm 46 yrs old.

It’s for middle aged people that need an excuse to eat and drink loads.
Alright, I think I'll quit drinking alcohol and just eat all those muffins instead.
Hahaha
No joke that's what I did and I was much much happier and even lost a bit of weight!
Ferment the muffins. Break the system.

17:58 is pretty strong stuff. You can see her going from feeling pretty proud about herself to being absolutely devastated in moment.
I hope they're doing well, they're both cute as hell and seem very aware.
They use students when dishing out free food. Most students are struggling when juggling money and cooking for themselves and would rather spend it on partying, so if you give them an opportunity to have a free meal they will pile it high. Too right.
I don't understand why they recommended the same number of calories for both of them when one of them is training for a marathon and likely burning more calories than the other.
Exactly what I thought!
Because she's a little shorter and has more weight to lose. The body will burn fat during exercise if there isn't enough food intake.
Because…? She’s shorter and also weights more/ has a higher BMI? TDEE don’t only take into account exercise but also BMI.I kid u not, someone shorter than me has a maintenance of what I can eat and lose a few pounds a week. Also if this is a weight loss plan, starting weight and starting BMI is also a big factor. Laura has a higher BMI than Stephanie…
At 12:59 There is a guy that looks like he is actually going to walk into the cafe and looks confused when he sees the false wall and cameras! lmao
Probably thinks he's in the Truman Show
He’s one of the actors who normally comes in, looks like he was a bit late this time
HOW DO U HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO POST ALL THESE SHOWS?! I absolutely loveeeee them. Thank you for posting . I appreciate you so much
“I don’t why I’m gaining weight”
All I eat is a bunch of noodles and rice
I was so confused by where she was going with that lol. Sub those out entirely for veggies and then you’ll have some success
Hahaha
@@NachoAE360 keto?
Marjatta Kolari that wouldn’t necessarily have to be keto. It depends on which veggies.
Noodles and rice does not make you fat...the biggest lie straight from the meat and diary industry. I eat loads of whole fiber carbs and have lost 34 lbs so far.
Small changes in ones diet can make a big difference....without doing extreme diets.
I really enjoy this program.
Exactly. I find that cutting any categories of food sets me up to fail every time. If I can't say no to fast food, I get a kids meal. If I have a low resistance day, I get one candy bar and end it, verses before when it was a whole box of Debbie cakes to eat in one sitting
“Racking up more numbers around her waistline than on her sales charts.”

Ikr so rude 🙃😳
She was so nice, they roasted her twice. 🤣 Poor gal.
I pray hard that they bring this show back. Lord knows we need it. The absolute chuff produced these days you’d think they could do something useful like this?!
The FA activists would be up in arms if ever it came back
i agree - but with all the social media, they would get slammed everywhere for body shaming, fat shaming, etc. eventhough they are just trying to educate - but someone would cause a huff saying they are making fun and would try to cancel it because everyone is so sensitive these days and are looking for a reason to be a victim
It’s their skin that always gets to me. When they change their foods, their skin looks so much healthier.
I started eating healthier and my eczema is looking so much better. It's not gone, but it's a lot easier to manage with the right medication. When I was obese, not even the strongest cremes seemed to make a dent.
Thanks for uploading! This has become my favorite show and I always look forward to your post.
At any weight, 20 miles a week in running is impressive!!
Yeah but unfortunately we know now exercise won't help you lose weight. Well short of being an athlete. Easy to look back on this show in hindsight though.
There are other reasons to run besides just losing weight. Like for fun or for the accomplishment of completing a specific distance
Lauren is the only person I've seen on here to ever have a come to Jesus moment during the confrontation. "I feel so stupid" once she relives she knows the truth. Good for her. This show I think truly helps people and should be brought to the USA asap.
the younger sibling is actually really lucky to have stayed an acceptable size judging by the amount of junk she ate. She didn't look the amount she weighed ether. Think they said 12 stone odd. she doesn't look that, i don't think, anyway.
P
Yeah, I think they actually quite healthy, especially when compared to other participants of this show.
The older sister ate 200 calories more daily and she's smaller in height than her...
Well to be fair she’s quite active. Even she doesn’t go to the gym, she’s on her feet and moving quite a lot. So here’s a story about my 2 sisters - one of them goes to the gym but other times just lie on the couch. The one who doesn’t go to the gym has ADHD, very pumppy, never really sitting, moving a lot, alwyas very energetic etc. but she’s 12 pounds less then the other sister. They eat the same thing - what my mum makes for us.
Steph actually is at a normal size at the moment
More numbers among her waistline that on her sales chart 😂😂 this show is SAVAGE
I think it's also a big problem to eat in front of the telly. You stare at the screen and don't realise the amount of food you are consuming. I eat at my dining table and focus on what I eat and I was able to notice that I eat not as much as I did when I was eating in front of the telly.
This was very relatable...
Which is rather concerning.
Lauren is so beautiful and good natured. She seems like a really nice person
Very good show concept, but I will say the remark about breakfast being the most important meal of the day is not scientifically backed up.
As a matter of fact, BREAKing your FAST can happen at any time in the day, like when you're...y'know, hungry. There are actually some reported health benefits of intermittent fasting and waiting a little longer to eat your first meal.
Also, I don't know what they put in their curry, but 2000 calories for curry is like if she ate over 8 cups of the stuff. Gawddamn.
That idea began as a marketing/advertising slogan for breakfast cereal, in the U.S, I believe.
@Ulo Hun I've not heard that, but maybe. 🤔
This show aired like ten years ago, the science/advice re food and weight gain has changed so much since then!
EagerSleeper I totally agree. My fisrt meal of yhe day is 15:00. Sometimes even later. After 20:00 I stop eating completelly
I still don't get how people can be so oblivious to what they eat. She honestly seemed like she was shocked at what was exposed. If you run 10 miles a day and you're gaining weight, then you're eating too much. You can't out train a bad diet.
Yes, but her I actually do kind of understand... 10 miles seems like a lot (and is) and makes you hungrier... So it leaves you thinking "oh well the food can't be THAT bad now" + she probably thought that since she was eating mostly homemade meals that she wasn't getting that many calories... But I don't understand the other sister really, all she ate was takeaways - and often... As a lot of people in that show do and you can literally look up the calories in the takeaways from the internet so I'm more likely more confused about that.
@@xLostInFirex That is true. A lot of people exercise then "treat" themselves to something which undid all their hard work. But to say, "I almost never drink. I drink maybe once a week." and then turns out she drinks every day! I feel like everyone in the UK needs to go to AA. And like you said, I don't know how it was a mystery for the other girl. She admitted she only ate tv dinners. Does she really think tv dinners are healthy and slimming?
@@suicune2001 yes, it actually baffles me how people think that alcohol doesn't have calories... It's literally gotten from fruit/starch sugar mostly + tons of added sugar is being added to ciders, wines, etc... This should be talked about more because it seems like a lot of people have no idea... And it's a dumb law that you don't have to show the calories in drinks to the label, I guess it's to blame for a lot - people think that since it's not in the label it doesn't excist. And I think it would help reduce drinking too
@@xLostInFirex Wait, drinks don't have to show how many calories are in it?? HOW?? That is some serious lobbying power right there. :( but honestly, I don't think it would matter. People clearly don't read labels anyway.
I don't understand how she can say she tracks what she eats but is still a "secret eater". It's not hard to write down everything you eat, there's a million apps
This show never really talks about increasing water intake. Having a large glass before meals really helps scale back over eating:)
It;s not always good. It just dilutes salt and then a lot of it is urinated out, which just leaves you empty and also hungry.
@@baronmeduse LOL no, it doesn't work like that. Keeping hydrated actually staves off hunger. A lot of the times when you're hungry you are actually thirsty. Drinking plenty of water has been linked with a reduction of calories.
@@taniar523 You can't hydrate yourself more than you need, homeostasis dictates this and anything beyond that goes into the toilet, especially when there is little else in your stomach. Plus the diluted salt. If a person is drinking water in an attempt to offset hunger (and avoid calories), they are clearly hungry. Don't start a post with 'LOL' when you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
This episode really spoke out to me. It’s the perfect episode of average women and how much food really is easy to overeat
Last bit what she said was wrong. "It's about what you eat not how much you eat". Erm no it IS about how much you eat otherwise you're over eating and gaining weight! Even "healthy" foods can make you gain weight if you're over consuming! 🤦🏽♀️
But the body doesn't stop eating when you reach your daily need of calories. If it did, they wouldn't be eating 4,000 calories a day. You can eat 10 pounds of broccoli a day and not meet your calorie needs and you'd be eating MASSIVE amounts of food. It's about calorie density and being mindful of what part of the spectrum you are eating.
@@suicune2001 Before I read your comment I was just going to use broccoli as an example, lol. No one ever got fat on plain broccoli.
Not quite... it's about calories. A PT recently ate nothing but Twinkies (but under calorie restriction) and lost weight. He was trying to prove it's just about calorie deficit, and it is.
I think they meant something a little different. Obviously the amount you eat in calories is most important, but how much you eat in like amount of food doesn’t matter as much if you’re eating only fruits and veggies. So you can eat 30 apples and it’s more food but better for you than 10 cheeseburgers
You can generally eat much larger portions of healthier food for the same number of calories. A big plate of salad, filled with vegetables, vs 1/4 burger. That is what I think they meant by that.
I only recently discovered this, but I can't stop watching it. It's absolutely fascinating from a sociological perspective. I see a lot of people's poor choices as simple ignorance of basic nutrition, which should be properly taught in school.
One thing I wish this show did was ask the participants, "How many calories do you suppose is in this meal?" I imagine that most people have no idea how much they're eating, calorically speaking.
I used to be a personal trainer and I would have my clients give me food journals. Unfortunately, I had no idea how much people "lie" (to me as much as to themselves) and that they were basically worthless (the journals, not the clients). In fact, asking for food journals was probably detrimental to designing an overall diet and exercise plan.
How can someone, with a straight face, ask, "Why am I putting on so much weight?" and at the same time eat microwave pizzas? Simply astonishing.
Edit*
I just watched the end of the episode. I am shocked to see that they weighed themselves on a scale that was on carpet... A sure fire way to lose weight is to weigh yourself on a scale that is on tile, and then not change anything about your normal routine. Then, a week later, put your scale on some shag carpet and weight yourself again.
How can someone, with a straight face, ask, "Why am I putting on so much weight?" and at the same time eat microwave pizzas? Simply astonishing.
because people underestimate the caloric worth of their food, thats all there is too it.
I mean as calorific as that, some DO eat garbage like that and are very thin because they don't eat regularly. If you eat way less than you need, processed garbage diet or not you will be thin.
If you watch supersize vs superskinny you'll see how some of the "skinnies" have shocking diets. Devoid of plenty nutrients bit not necessarily low fat or sugar. If you only eat a quarter pounder, a few coffees and the odd snack within a couple days that's nowhere near enough calories, nevermind nutrients.
@@eb7446 Yes, If someone eats at a calorie deficit, it doesn't matter what they put into their bodies; they absolutely will not gain weight. That is obvious.
However, that is clearly not what is happening here. These people are simply delusional.
35:00 does anyone else get incredibly surprised by the calorie totals? 3 chips ahoy cookies alone (comparable to the biscuits she was eating) are 160, average candy bar is about 250 so that’s 250+250+2 servings of cookies 160+160=
That’s 820! I know this because I am a sweets enthusiast. Now I know that I cannot guesstimate around the calories of these foods but I have eaten enough candy and cookies to see 6 cookies and 2 candy bars only 600 calories that’s an absolute steal!
Calories add up quickly. I’m trying to and a stone. It’s hard because I’m breastfeeding my baby. If I pay attention to calories, I eat 2000 cals. I need to watch out for chocolate and healthy high fat foods, calories add up super quickly

Hehe and that's why you cant just go believing anything on youtube.
I was in the exact same situation. Last year I was 12 pounds overweight at 20 years old. Since then I have lost around 22 pounds and feel much more healthy. Best to do it early on, before it becomes a real problem.
Good on them for nipping the weight gain in the bud while they are young. I wish someone had intervened with my weight gain...100# ago! Yikes.
I do find it interesting that British people love those beans so much. Reminds me of pork-n-beans, which I hated eating growing up but we had them all the time. Ick. Too sweet.
I love baked beans. It's weird to me that they have them in the morning. I wouldn't eat any type of beans for breakfast
Some of us don't like them. I can only eat them with a good dash of soy sauce or spices because they taste too sweet. Almost never eat them.
From what I've gleaned from other forums, your U.S. beans are a lot sweeter than our British baked beans.
@@houghton841 I'm Brazilian we eat a lot of beans but none are sweetened. Why are your beans sweet? We seasoned ours with salt, pepper, bay leaves, onions, garlic and sometimes we put cow meat and sausages and other salty pork meats.
Like you really season beans with soy sauce? And what you use to cook them with? You guys put sugar in it? I always assumed they are salty because I saw them in plates with eggs and sausages and bread.
I'm curious now.
Toast, baked beans, sausage, fried egg 😋 the sauce of the baked beans putting it altogether. I'm absolutely ravenous now
stephanie honestly seems like such a lovely person ☺️
I think it’s great of them to at least realize they’ve been gaining weight and are trying to do something about it before it gets out of control
I just found this show here in America...loving it!!
aw leave the students alone, we're always hungry :'-( We're running around all the time and we're poor lol
And it seems that most of the free food comes in the form of pizza and donuts. Put away the lasagna and fries and give us a nice salad and sandwich bar, please.
This is such a mood ahah
My daughter does uni and she is very over weight so where are these poor students no money why are they gaining weight if they are to poor 2 buy food u get thousands of pounds in students fees!
@@wendyjones1422 Buy beans, a pressure cooker and some tuna.
@@wendyjones1422 chill out wendy lol
This episode is the most relatable to me because we're almost at the same age with same unconscious weight gain, I get a wake up call one day when my blood pressure spike up more than usual and I almost end up staying at the hospital. Now I'm slowly lose the weight from 76kg to 63kg when I got rid of my snacking and lack of sleep habit. I never feel any better now :)
Apart from the weight loss you could also see a real improvement in their skin .
best part of this show is the host! she doesnt shy away yet is very likable. they dont hate her for it!
lovely ladies. hopefully they keep their newly acquired habits and live a healthy, fullfiling life!
12 stone 9 is the highest weight i ever got to, I'm 12 stone now and dropping :)
i may not be obese but lots of people who aren't obese want to lose weight too!
10.7 stone is my goal :)
lil sunflower im 9.6 stone and 4’10 im really short for my age so i definitely understand where you’re coming from, good luck :)
@@annakalozi6932 im almost 5'6 :) i also have pcos (which if you know anything about, can mess up ur metabolism and stuff.) Good luck to you as well!
the trade mark sign of a secret eater ( a sausage roll )
LOL
I'm glad they've uploaded these episodes. I've been trying to watch these for years.
they weighed themselves on carpet, not a hard surface in the end which means their results will be inaccurate ....
i saw your comment and thought yeah thats BS its not going to be much different. then i weighed myself, on carpet 57.9kg, on a hard surface over 65kg. damn that is a pretty big difference
psionicinversion I did the same, 57,1 on the carpet and 57,4 on hard floor
I just tried it as well, I was 14 kg lighter on the carpet... That's a massive difference! Makes me wonder if the people on these shows have lost any weight at all.
I get inaccurate readings when weighing on carpet. Maybe the scales are fancy andhave some sort of level surface
Most scales come with feet you can attach for carpeted surfaces. Mine did and my weight doesn't fluctuate if I use the scales on different surfaces.
What is with British people and beans? lol watched so many of these shows.
L S We mexican americans love our beans also.
They are baked beans so lots of sugar.
And jacket potatoes lol!
they are so pretty and nice! hope they can manage to keep up with their diet and health
I love and hate how this show makes certain foods sound like crime
Saturated fats and sugar is poison
Same. One piece of cake or whatever every once in a while isnt horrible
I eat so much sugar
@ meow cat not all saturated fats are bad, some like coconut oil for example are quite healthy. and while i agree that added sugar has no nutritional value other than serving as energy, calling it literal poison is overdramatic. eating a slice of cake on your birthday isn’t gonna kill you🙄
If you only, always want to eat them, then yeah.
This show is amazing and should come back. Is important that people stop with the delusion that you can become obese without overeating
Cheese is a great source of saturated fat. Not calcium
YES
Still gonna eat it tho lol
Chelle are you aware of the dairy industry? If you’re comfortable with the cruelty then go ahead personally I’m not
ZoZo 007 don’t forget cholesterol, puss and hormones
toy gummy bear.. Your just spreading the stereotype of negative vegans who like the force others into guilt. I’m vegetarian and well aware of the horrors of the dairy industry. But sometimes you don’t want to get bogged down in negativity. Try and spread a more positive constructive message :)
"do I actually want this second bag?"
"yes, desperately, yes"
The reason of team A eating from large bag eating the most can be that people tend to not waste food and that's why they ate more with a thought to complete the whole packet
I get a cultural shock when they say a 100 g bag is big. The avrege size of bag in Sweden is 200g. 450 g is big.
But the are wasting food though. They are just putting it in their stomach instead of the trashbin.
When I look at this through the lens of the calorie density approach, I see what was going on. Everyone wants to feel full via the stomachs stretch receptors, using less calorie dense foods would have filled them up without all the calories all the time. Best wishes to all for their bravery for taking this show on.
The elder sis is beautiful and self-confident
Yeah she is very pretty, with a thinner face and longer brown hair she would looks a bit mire like Emma Watson I think
This is one of the first episodes, where I actually feel sympathetic for the couple.😩I hope they do well!❤️
I’m happy to see an episode where the girls look like me. I got up to 145 lbs, but I’m only 5’2. I was able to get back down to 120 but gained a lot of it back. I really have to think about calories all the time. It’s really easy to gain when you’re not being conscious.
Damn I'm 154lbs and only 5'1.
I feel awful now.
@@Yassmiinn.don’t feel awful. I was 156 (my highest ever) at 5’1” like 7 months ago. Slow and steady, I weighed 144lbs as of yesterday. Just don’t stop. Seriously. I had many days where I over ate and things. But I always went right back on the wagon. You can do it
This is totally me . Overweight but not obese. And didn’t know why until now . Lovely show.
I hate how they always bang on about breakfast being the most important meal of the day- it’s rubbish!
@@logbia7k608 Not for everyone. In fact, for many people (including me) if I eat breakfast in the morning I am inclined to want to continue eating afterwards. I generally don't eat until later in the day and it stops me over-eating. :-)
T Bolger I’m the same way! I usually don’t eat until 12-2 even iff I get up at 7am because I will eat wayyy too much throughout the day. I eat dinner around 10-11pm when I’m done exercising
@Odins Sage I'm in a healthy weight range now. I lost 50 pounds by cutting out breakfast. Cutting it out (and the inevitable snacking that it would trigger) created the caloric deficit I needed to get rid of the surplus weight I was carrying. 😊
people are different, some people skip breakfast and then get a dip and need a boost and overcompensate with a bigger lunch. For me I can take or leave it, I eat if I'm hungry
Sarah Curtis so true! Fasting is the best way to go!
Really good one this - illustrates the ill conceived assumption that you can exercise and then eat anything you want
i am so happy about the sisters. all the best for them.
8:17 I got so distracted by that cute dog lmao
They're both beautiful and looked that way before and after, but my god their skin in the after looks so pretty and glowy.
Lovely girls and good that they tackle their unhealthy way of eating and that they both have lost weight steadily. But if they had stuck to their suggested calorie intake they should have been able to loose twice as much given the calorie deficit between their new & old food intake. Hope they kept going.
I luurvvve all these beginning when they say i duno why im overweight all i eat is healthy all i drink is water and boom fast food chocolate biscuits alcohol fruit juice cream double cream
They're both so adorable. I hope the best for them
They’re not really that big tbh, they’re really pretty ❤️
So?
@Laura So what?
I use to refuse to watch this show but now that ive started I want to watch all of them
Man those are students we all have no Money are constantly Hungry ans when there is free food i Sure as hell will load up my Plate and maybe eat something later
Japanese snacks are individual wrapped to the point of wasteful. Each piece of biscuit wrapped. Each tiny portion of nuts wrapped.
It’s why Japan does not have an obesity problem. People genuinely don’t want to eat more than the individually wrapped single snack.
But their recycling system is amazing. Check it out. They even sort the different plastics and peel off labels off boxes too.
Smart young ladies to figure it out before they end up with health issues. Bravo to both!
It would be nice to do A programme also about Portion Control, Comfort eaters, I think more people also suffer from this eating disorder...me including. 😭😭
i find the sisters so beautiful..fat or not still hot.
Jude Stingray ikr😩they are gorgeous
They are not fat
They need to make new episodes. The dietary information is so out of date.
Yeah, I think so too.
If it’s anything like the US they can’t go too far because of the different food industries (I.e. beef, dairy, etc) advertise and they don’t want to lose the money.
31:19 That's why in the supermarkets the small bags of crisps are sold in "multipacks" but the single large packs are sold as "sharing" crisps because there's no way anyone would share it and they'll eat more in one go. Obviously they should call the multipacks the sharing crisps.
This is why I don’t buy snacks. If I don’t have it I don’t see it I don’t eat it 😂
Same. I'm really good at saying no at the grocery store. The problem is my husband goes to the corner store to buy snacks every day, and he always asks if I want some.... so I'll say no again. But he'll ALWAYS buy me a chocolate bar anyway.
It's easy to say no the first two times, but by the third time when the snack is right there on the counter it's so hard 😂😭
the scene where she relasized how much lauren actually eats was really emotional..i felt so sorry for her that moment..but im sure shell make it
it's really helpfull series! Now I understood why sometimes I eat more than I should. It's all about your mind and psychology! So it means more you know about eating and food less you eat (calories)!
Most people liked the chocolate covered vegetables?? I mean Im a chocolate lover but give me that crap and il seperate the two, and yep delicious BY THEMSELVES!
I dont think I would try it at all.
