Overeating is related to mental health. Unless you deal with the mental health, nothing will stick.

[@beewest5704]

Yes binge eating & overeating is often linked to emotional deregulation. This makes it harder to lose weight or maintain it. The root of the issue has to be dealt with. For my friend it was childhood SA. The minute a man would show any s3xual interest in her when she was getting skinnier she would get triggered & start binge eating. She was never able to get her weight under control until a therapist made her connect the pattern. She is now doing great.

We have to acknowledge that whole picture to be able to address it, it's a reality that you can get visual results on crash diets, however, you've lost more water weight than you accounted for, and you've put unnecessary stress on your body, especially your heart and liver, You haven't changed your eating habits in the long term and your body has just experienced a hunger episode so you're statistically doomed to gain all the weight back and more. None of the facts above is going to tramp over that crash diets can show results and this is the sole reason this method of weight loss has been around for the last 80 years.

[@carolbydesign]

I rather lose the weight slowly because I know I have a better chance at keeping off long term. I'm not a professional, but I feel crash dieting sets people up for long term failure. Losing weight should be about changing your lifestyle long term, not to lose 1 stone in 2 weeks without really learning how to change for a healthy balanced life. So far I've lost a bit over 10 stones over the last couple years. I do not follow fad diets. I learned to eat smaller portions, I gave up none of the foods I enjoyed, I just enjoy them in moderation. And for me this method has worked well. (I'm working with my doctor to make sure I'm doing my weight loss in a healthy way.)

[@louise8219]

As someone who is technically dieting, this show is the most dangerous one I’ve seen ever. Fad diets are not healthy no matter how you dress it up and the majority of people won’t keep that weight off because the eating habits have not changed for the better, just changed temporarily to something unsustainable. Lose weight slowly but changing how and what you eat to something you can sustain and live by is the best way to diet. You won’t fit into the pair of jeans a size or two smaller in a week but with sustainable lifestyle changes you can in a few months and stay that way.

[@leaamber7949]

When I was in high school some guy at my work that was few years older than me told me I would look better if I lost a few pounds. I was at a normal weight at the time. It really hurt my feeling and I thought that if I did lose a few pounds him/everyone would like me more. After I started losing weight everyone was complimenting on how good I looked so I continued to lose more and more. I dropped over 20lbs. I’ve struggled with body issues ever since. I am in my 30s now but I still struggle.

[@jademusic1211]

If you only eat a certain way to lose weight and then go back to how you were eating before, it won't stay off, obviously. You also have to address emotional issues and trauma or you'll just keep getting reeled back into dysfunctional eating. Otherwise, I don't see a problem with eating a certain way for a short period of time to lose weight. But you really have to be mindful when you eat and also make sure to honor your hunger. Being ravenous is only going to cause you to sabotage yourself.

[@marnasletten3988]

[@melissahollowell7255]

Everyone is freaking out over 530 calories but fasting is super common now. For the record, that would be zero calories.

[@kwarra-an]

You're not supposed to not consume any calories at all. The fasting that's recommended is intermittent fasting, which just means you don't eat after a certain time (usually 5pm), and then start again the next day at, like, 7am. Even a hardcore fast is not 0 calories, but you're right that it's very low-calorie and not good for you.

It's amazing how different all our bodies are. My boyfriend struggles to gain weight. One of his life's dreams was to join the army but no matter what he eats he is still under weight. He's tried supplements and diets from doctors, diets from the internet, eating 6 peanut butter sandwiches day along with regular meals and nothing worked. For me on the other hand, especially since being on my meds, if I try intuitive eating I eat too much and gain weight. I also crave sweets and junk food. The only thing I've found that works for me is a keto diet because it cuts out sugar and carbs which for me reduces cravings. I don't really consider it a crash diet though because it's long term. I make sure I eat mostly veg and some clean protein and some healthy fats. I really think that all our bodies are different though and what works for some people might not work for others. If I do intuitive eating then I hover between 80 and 85 kgs which for my height is over weight. I'm on a bit of a health binge at the moment and hoping to get down to 60. At the moment I'm at 74. I'm incorporating intermittent fasting and a bit more light exercise like walking.

Why not simply reduce your caloric intake by sheer 500kcal per day, start walking, hiking, swimming, light cycling, even 15-30 minutes of light excercise every day will result in a weight loss in a month. Why do people always go to extremes, do dangerous unsustainable diets that are impossible to sustain over longer periods instead of little by little eliminating bad habits like sodas, candies, fried foods... combine it with light excercise and higher intake of vegetables... You'll develop healthy eating habits over time, stop your craving, get in the better shape and be actually healthy and fit 🤷 it's extremely easy to lose weight and keep it off, people are just lazy, stupid and want express results just focused on the appearance instead of their health and well being....

[@KraszuPolis]

They don't, most ppl try doing that, and it doesn't work. If you will just cut calories you will be hungry, add exercise to that, you will be even more hungry. Your body will reduce your BMR so you will likely have to reduce calories even more, also body will release hormones that will make you want to move less. It can work for few kg for somebody that is healthy but doesn't work for most ppl. Think about it, why would you need to restrict calories? What controls how many calories you are eating? Your hormones do, if you will arbitrary limit calories you work against your body, and that isn't easy or smart or sustainable in the long term.

It’s only now at the age of 26, I’m finally capable of following through and sticking to it. All the foods and sugary drinks I’ve cut out aren’t even missed anymore.

I came to this after listening to RoyTaylor's diabetes diet. Basically, he says prediabetes or diabetes can be put into remission by quickly dropping 15-20kg. He advocates 600 calories of shakes and soups plus a small 100 calorie meal (a salad etc to break the monotomy of a liquid diet)...so 700 cals/day and no exercise for a max of 12 weeks or until blood sugar is normal. He doesn't seem to recognize that it's a crash diet (he's an endocrinologist) and therefore does not address these kinds of issues raised here.

@@morematcha No surprisingly. When I've tried to do the 5/2 diet I gave up because I was so hungry but doing it every day I didn't. I did drink a lot - miso soup, Herbal teas, coffee with a dash of milk, water with slices of cucumber, cider vinegar in warm water.

34:03 Nope! That's B.S. Because It Will Make You Want The Junk Food More Not Less. 🙅🏼‍♀️

This is how you healthily lose weight. Caloric deficit and weight lifting. You can either measure how many calories you regularly eat in a week and drop 500 calories from that or do a macro calculator which is more of an estimate. Stick to those calories for at least 2 weeks and see how you do. A healthy goal is 1-2lbs a week. Start with minimal cardio but heavy weight lifting if possible (this is also good for your bones). After at least a couple weeks if you hadn’t lost weight, drop ahout 100-200 calories. Once you are losing weight keep those same calories and cardio until you stop losing weight for at least 2 weeks. If you stop losing, drop calories by 100 and/or increase cardio by 5-10 minutes. Continue. Do a max of 4-6 months in a deficit, and then do a reverse diet for at least 6 months. After that you can go back into another deficit

Anyone here looking for weight loss do it safely This is what I did and lost almost 5 stone in a year and I made a lot of mistakes Eat normally for a week and track the calories Take off 250 - 500 calories a day off the total so if your eating 3000 a day eat 2500 A deficit of 500 calories a day can lead to 3500 calories a week or 1LB of weight loss Do this with some resistance training to maintain muscle mass and you’ll achieve your goal slowly but safely Also coach greg is an amazing weight loss KZbinr I definitely recommend

Starving yourself is starving yourself whether you call it a crash diet or fasting

[@OhiChicken]

God damn everyone in this documentary was delightful...

[@amymallon23]

Plain and simple dont diet just eat healthy

[@prancer4743]

I love these shows great work 😀👍🙏 go girls with your diet 👍🙏

[@jajajajaja357]

OMG "I am constipated because of all the meat (that has no fibre at all) I think I am going to switch to fish (that has no fibre at all) 😄😊😊😊

[@LaurenForster]

Meat doesn't constipate. Fibre is unnecessary 😂

[@MultiLoska]

Here is an idea.....I was 400 lbs im now 200lbs! How? slow changes at first! but mainly eating 2200 Cals a day as I got closer to 200lbs i went down to 2000 cals a day! I still eat everything just less at a time lol.

[@xxxmelissatacionxxx]

Was anyone else struck by the women who wired her jaw shut to stop herself from eating?? That's crazy- i hope she has since gone to therapy and has gotten the help she needs!

[@kiiludida]

These diet documentaries are my addiction.

[@temmiepet4183]

Those friends are hilarious I want a show of them

[@hannahburke7328]

16:01 It Is. Cold Pressed Juices Are Perfectly Fine. I Even Use Mine As A Smoothie Base With Frozen Berries, Cherries And Mango.

[@mpazinambao2938]

I want to lose weight but I'd never try any of these diets cause they look sad.

[@IzabelaSznajder27]

Buying a dress that is too small for your friend is just nasty.

[@AnnaleeBrea]

66 quid a week to starve, no thanks!

[@Januarywitch]

I'm sure it wasn't artistically essential for the plot to film an adult lady on a loo🙄

[@angelwings1]

It’s not the diet working. You’re eating in a calorie deficit. THAT is why you’re losing weight. Anyone can lose weight on a starvation diet if 500 cals week. But what happens when you come off it? Hmmmm…. Why not eat proper food and stop snacking every 10 min. Exercise. Even walking will work. Make a lifestyle change for sustainable weightloss.

[@aisa2954]

This documentary is ridicolous. And dangerous.

[@PAlt-p6y]

This is HORRIFIC MISINFORMATION. Ketosis is not "starvation mode" and protein does not cause gout. Wow. Just wow, that's terrible.

[@angelwings1]

Why can’t George have decaf coffee???

[@kdani4777]

Fine line between intermittent fasting and crash dieting.

[@mariannevontrapp1063]

Just lower your carbs, more salades, greens, and you are oke.

[@Bella-pf8dy]

Why ppl sayin 500cal diet is bad like as long as u don’t do it too long and don’t eat 3000 cal again right afetr u stop dieting then it’s fine. And those 3 day diets aren’t gonna work at all lol

[@underflowers]

Laxatives to expel everything you ate? That's not a crash diet that's literally bulimia??

[@FacesByPureness]

Did she say to avoid creating Ketones? 💀

[@oodbrain2259]

Wait why does that not make sense? I don't know anything lol

[@alexb141]

diets aren't meant to be a 'fad', 'crash' or otherwise. 'aloe vera lady ' i do it 3 times a year'. me: so u have a major mental issue 3 times a year, basically is what your saying. diets are meant to be stuck through your entire life. they arent meant for a quick fix when you wanna lose weight or 'look better'. you dont need to 'detox' honey, you need straighten out ur gut microbiome with healthy bacteria, like from sauerkraut or kimchi. if you want/need to change your diet, it has to be permanent not just willy nilly once every few months or whatnot because 'you dont feel pretty'.

[@wholefoodplantbasedmama5398]

Good grief, the damage these people are doing from these crash diets

[@lolno4384]

500 cal per DAY?? excuse me?

[@peafo5015]

Perfect TIMINGGGGGG

[@marie34K]

Crash diets are stupid . The simplest changes help lose weight . Eat as many vegetables as you like , a small portion of carbs , a portion of proteins , a fruit and drink water or tea ( or coffee ) . Don't ever go for seconds and fill a normal size plate . Don't over fill the plate , don't pile food up . Don't eat from a bowl you would increase portions . Walk 30 min a day at least and you are good . I'm 76 and lost 17 pounds since mid march ( I put on 20 pounds when I stopped smoking 3.5 years ago ) .

[@Bella-pf8dy]

I’ll eat 10kg veggies and gain weight then

[@corvettesbme]

When was this filmed?

[@chloejennings8702]

I'm going to guess around 2002-2006

[@tieiatalks]

It certainly works for WLS patients.

[@noloveforthehaters]

LOL these people have no idea.

[@spiriteduniverse5779]

The expert in this documentary or episode is just focused on telling people to eat healthy and exercise...if someone is considering a extreme diet or procedure to drop their weight, might experts please consider that their mental health be well looked after first. If they don't get mentally healthy about eating and exercising, if they don't feel good about themselves, for example, then they're not going to stick to a healthy diet or want to go out and exercise.

[@samanthav563]

Steak and yogurt????????????????? 🫨 no.
