Secret Eaters S02 EP4 | Losing Weight | TV Show Full Episodes

[@veramichaella714]

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

[@TurquoiseTalks]

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 😐

[@thornyback]

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.

[@r.p.4432]

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.

[@francescafoster854]

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.

[@ismt9390]

Plus many of them don't eat like they usually do, when they know they are being watched.

[@utoobah]

Maybe that’s why they aren’t that overweight

[@sonyabladewins1881]

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.

[@thaliacrafts407]

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!

[@sprout7491]

[@s_rofbear]

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.

[@Monika-bc3dq]

@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.

[@asuban]

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.

[@TheAvprobeauty]

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.

[@bongowrld]

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

[@harkerx9029]

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

[@MustangDesudiroz]

lmfao its teh land whales that do that

[@m.g.9656]

Because she's not looking for self-assertion, but for a scientific , logical way to solve her weight problem. That's intelligence!

[@rnmatsuda]

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.

[@Cacophony314]

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.

[@twelvesmylimit]

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?

[@axeraw3813]

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!!

[@twelvesmylimit]

@@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. 😔

'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

[@sylwiakazmierczak5057]

2 stones is not ONLY 😁

[@AnataWaDareDesuKa]

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.

[@roguenrawwellness7682]

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 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.

[@leemana352]

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.

[@crucialtaunt722]

[@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy]

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.

[@stolas2240]

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.

[@eb7446]

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.

[@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy]

​​@@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.

[@baronmeduse]

@@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.

[@EagerSleeper]

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.

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

[@sheilaelaine4106]

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.

[@awsome182]

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.

[@madeleineprice3556]

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!

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.

[@suicune2001]

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.

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.

[@SprinkleTowne]

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

[@Sam-oo1uo]

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 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.

[@xLostInFirex]

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.

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.

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.

What seriously sucks about the food industry is that, sure, it's better to grab the small bags but they make them almost the same price as the bigger bags and sometimes more!!! A 2 liter of coke is actually 1-2 dollars CHEAPER then a 20oz bottle. Not to mention if you decide to pay more for the smaller one for health reasons then you end up adding a lot more to the waste of the world. It's just a no-win situation and EXTREMELY frustrating. Growing up poor, you would NEVER buy the smaller items because you need to spend your money wisely. Not to mention many of the "healthier" options are more expensive so you end up eating processed unhealthy food. Sure, on a case by case basis, this stuff sound like a good and easy thing to do but it's not realistic for many families due to how the food industry has positioned itself. They want us to be gluttonous because it makes them more money. All that sugar and carbs create food addictions that are extremely hard to overcome. It's disgusting really. And the same people that are supposed to help, the people who monitor the food and drug industries, actually own stock in those same industries they are supposed to be monitoring or are on their boards. They have vested interests in the companies they are supposed to be making sure are doing the right thing. 😡😡😡
