A 2500 calorie bowl of cereal??!! Just when I thought I'd seen it all....

[@SammyBirdTheGreat]

T. B when I was obese I loved cereal with cream (cups of straight heavy cream, whipped cream, cream on everything) - then I found out I was mildly allergic to beef & dairy, cut it all out & dropped 70 pounds over like a year & a half & have maintained a low weight for the past 4 years

[@annielynn8730]

The idea of cream on cereal seems quite odd to me too. Is that a british thing? Like mayo on salad whatnot?

[@personp7682]

Perhaps a little less than what Murray had for breakfast would be okay if he were a professional athlete, but where's the protein? It's just all carbs and fat, per usual overweight/obese diet (coming from someone who's actively tracking macros and was fat at one point).

Girlwithateddybear it's actually the sugar in cereal that is bad. Although pasteurized dairy is pretty bad as well (but not nearly as pernicious as sugar)

[@teaartist6455]

Even if you put aside "healthy", though it's extremely clear that sugary cereal isn't even if other things may be debatable, heavy cream has a LOT more calories than milk and when we're talking about weight gain or loss, it's calories that matter first and foremost*. You can't loose weight on a diet that provides more calories than you need even if it is technically healthy and you'd loose weight eating straight sugar if you ate less than you needed (you'd also soon suffer from deficiencies but that's another matter). *There are some things that make it easier or harder to consume less calories things such as cold food needing to be warmed up but that effect either aids you in not consuming so many calories or has a tiny impact.

"I thought I was doing really well." Dude, you added *double cream* to your cereal! Seriously, why is it that all of these people who want to lose weight apparently never read a label? This isn't hidden--the information is all there.

[@stauffap]

I think, that it's not just about not reading the labels. A lot of people seem to believe false information about losing and gaining weight. The woman in this episode for example believed that hormones can make you gain or lose weight. Other people believe that it's just about genetics and "in the family". One of the weirdest beliefes was a black woman, who thought that after working out you can eat as much as you want and it won't count. A lot of people are just denying the simple scientific reality of weight loss: If you consume more energy than you body needs, then you're going to gain weight. Which of course means that you have to know how much calories you need and how many calories you're actually eating.

@@TheRealRealOK Only healthy fats are good for you, not all fat. Also, fat is only good when used in a healthy combo of low carb semi low protein to be in a "keto" state. However, if you are not following that diet then eating too much fat (good or bad fat) isn't good for you. If he'd replaced that milk with a nut milk instead he'd been in a higher fiber state of proteins and carbs and would burn them off faster, which is why Vegan burn off food so fast.

Interestingly, nobody was fat into the 1980s. It was very rare. In a whole school, you might have 2 kids notably obese. You can tell this is true in mall or concert footage of back then. These days, I'm seeing quite a few kids and college kids a good deal overweight. That wasn't the case 40 years ago. I personally lost a stone (14 pounds) by getting rid of sugar, wheat, and dairy. I try to not eat for about 17 hours and keep track of all of it in a food journal, all weighed and measured. Yesterday was my 1st workout in a long time! I was 171.5 at 5'5. I'm now 157.5. My scales are both acting wonky, but it's right around there. I weigh me like once a month. And measure all the parts and write it down. I was a solid XL, now about a large. Fighting weight for me would be about 125-130 if it were solid. I look starved at 117. I don't think I've ever been smaller than a 29 waist (by the tape measure, the size is a complete lie, which you learn when you measure with a tape measure).

I love the look on Helena's face after she steps off the scale during the first weigh-in, like "Fuck this bullshit."

[@amandawitherspoon3988]

I had to Google to see how much weight was in a stone. I now know I have lost 4 1/2 stone since I started my diet. 😊

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

It's 14 pounds. So whatever x 14 and then add the pounds. 1 stone 4 (pounds) would be 18 pounds.

[@theslatonator6919]

God, I miss the UK.

[@idltbm5042]

How are so many people so misguided when it comes to food and eating? And the people who are, why aren’t they more curious about learning what does go in to their bodies? Everyone should have knowledge about nutrition and health. It should be in all schools from the youngest grades by law.

Because industry won't make money with guided healthy humans

[@leechowning2712]

The food pyramid was made by a study group sponsored by food companies. And a similar study group were the ones who recommended dropping home ec cooking classes and nutritional classes.

[@xydoit2024]

The amount of cereal he ate is huge

Disgusting 😵😷😱

Wow, I missed that. Eew

How can u put 10 teaspoons of sugar in ya tea

[@denied7616]

how can you miss that it was a whole day sugar? she didnt dump cup of sugar into her mug

angel yeas i read that just as she said it

[@andrielisilien]

I don't know how these people are still in denial AFTER recording a food diary on their OWN. Just that alone slaps me in the face to make better choices.

[@isabelamer86]

But that's an issue with studies where people record what they are. The data isn't reliable as people tend to make their food intake sound more virtuous.

[@puppylovetarot8608]

I'm mesmerized by the size if that cereal bowl....it's nearly a bucket 😳😳😳

[@omegaalphaeren3148]

Just wen I thought I was out they pull me back in🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍝🍝🍝

[@lynnwiltshire6220]

How can the both of them not know that double cream is unbelievably unhealthy and calorific?? Lol

[@blumusdu]

Instead of secret eaters this could be called Britains in heavy denial and self-imposed amnesia

[@CynthiaBrooke96]

I am trying to figure out where these people from these shows decide that their meals are healthy.. They all eat a ton of potatoes, large amounts of meat, and usually some type of dessert everyday.. Lets not forget the huge breakfast and cereal not being good.. Jam large sugar..

[@prettybullet4646]

High carb meals just don't seem to stick and you end up hungry again a lot sooner.

[@jadecarter1555]

After watching this show, I desperately want to try a Sunday Roast lol lol Looks amazing actually

[@Amoodz]

"its not the size that matters, its what you do with it"

[@luludear1209]

So for breakfast he makes trifle. She eats different forms of sugar. Sitting in front of a TV & moving ONLY to make food or go to the car & put food in your mouth. Why wouldn't you be skinny?

[@amandawitherspoon5225]

I love their plates and bowls. I would like some just like it.

[@ShaelieVogel]

I thought Helena's daily calory intake would be much higher than 2900. still, is this the worst case of all the secret eaters?

[@اتَّكَلْنامنهعلىخُصٍّالاتحادقو]

it was 4440 kcal, 2900 was one meal

[@ashlielove6513]

I know exactly how I've added 80 pounds to me in my 20s. Now that I'm actually eating 2000 calories a day and drinking mostly water I need a faster way to get rid of this gut than walking. Lol. This show really does need to come to the US.

[@unknownawkward]

Tbh I love this show but I’m as distracted by Max as the camera man is....

[@elizabethgojka866]

Did she say being happily married can put on up to a pound a year? 11:30 A whole pound in one whole year, wow, that much lol.

[@spectrumliving7197]

Cereal with cream! Geez, I didn't know that people do such a thing.

[@leechowning2712]

Considering the dish he had? Cream with cereal.

[@shananalexander9789]

That’s a Jethro Bodine bowl of cereal

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

You just showed your age! Lol

[@lynnwiltshire6220]

English peoples idea of home cooking…. A jacket potato lol.

[@eb7446]

Do Brits not like their toast very toasted, or is not toasted at all? In Canada, it's not typical to eat bacon or eggs on untoasted bread...

[@chelseasmith1426]

Why even use skim milk if you're going to dump heavy cream on top?

[@sajejekyllhyde4647]

So don’t fall in love, it’s unhealthy?? Also can you just walk up to a pizza delivery man and tell him you’d deliver the pizza for them because you’re an undercover investigator person man thing. If so here I come Britain. *takes the pizza and runs home*

[@skullsaintdead]

Grrr it annoys me when shows consider fruits and veg to be the "healthy" option, when its only part of a meal. If you gave them a choice between a wholemeal tuna salad sandwich and a deep fried chicken burger with mayo, I'm guessing there'd be more kids going for the tuna option than just fruit or veg BECAUSE ITS ACTUALLY A MEAL. Be realistic and compare meals with meals.

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

fruit isnt healthy. Its natural junk food.

[@skullsaintdead]

@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 Who told you that?

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Please train yourself to drink your tea without sugar. Those chemical sugar substitutes are poison

[@jillpayne5242]

How can people be so ignorant regarding what they eat. All the information needed is on the internet or in a library, not to mention labels on products.

[@lynnwiltshire6220]

Like how Special K get a mention. Kellogg’s is not nutrition people it’s a company who want you to eat as much of their crap as possible 🤣🤣

[@annsophieberg3415]

And i thought my eating habits were bad already

[@naomi6091]

14:50 What did he said there? I'm learning english and I couldn't understand.

[@Sonixqueen1991]

so the problem is that people do not really know what's in their food. Just because its cereal I can have a whole gigantic bowl of it? uhm, no! This series really highlights the lack of education that people have about food and nutrition. If schools etc tackle this topic as well it will be of great benefit.

[@eb7446]

I hope they give out the wasted display food to their staff or something after.
