What Does 21 Days of Nothing but Junk Food Do to these Celebrities? | Only Human

Celebrity guinea pigs undergo an extreme junk food eating regime in a groundbreaking experiment.
Singer Peter Andre, The Chase mastermind and barrister Shaun Wallace, politician Nadine Dorries, actress Hayley Tamaddon, Olympian Tessa Sanderson and TV personality Hugo Taylor have bravely given their bodies over to science to take part in an overfeeding study used by scientists to understand exactly how food can affect our bodies.
Britain is a nation hooked on fast food. We consume 22 million takeaway meals every week and fast food joints are dominating high streets across Britain. n this program, six famous faces have agreed to put their bodies on the line and become guinea pigs in an extreme scientific experiment to find out what our junk food lifestyle is actually doing to us.
For 21 days the celebs will be overeating burgers, fried chicken and pizza - Britain’s top three favourite junk foods - for lunch and dinner. The volunteers will each spend a week eating burgers, a week eating chicken and a week eating pizza and by subjecting them to a large increase in calories - 50% more than they need - over a short period of time, the effect on their bodies could mimic that of long term consumption.

I am an experiment with healthy food. I am a 65 year old grandma with a pain issue from an old injury. Doctors did not help, just gave me drugs. I went on a whole foods plant based vegan diet.

Hugo saying it's easier than ever to eat healthily in the UK and then names expensive fruits "avocado" and "dragon fruit" - this is exactly why so many people think eating healthily is too expensive, you don't need fancy exotic foods - you can buy typical fruit, veg and wholegrains for very cheap, especially if you shop in lidl, aldi or Iceland. Most supermarkets do a wonky veg box, which are great value and a great way to try things you wouldn't usually buy. You can buy frozen veg and fruit for lazy days. I eat a very healthy diet and spend no more than £15 a week on a food shop (I'm a single person, so you could spend even less than that per person in a family or couple)

Never mind my siblings, I would have been jealous. Growing up, junk food was always a treat for us bc my mum did her absolute best to create good, nutritious, healthy meals on a strict budget. I would have been thrilled to have free rein with junk food for a month, but I'd never want it now.

[@spanglelime]

Hugo should be checked for orthorexia. He's been exposed to clean eating his entire life and the mere idea of pizza gave him anxiety. One meal in and he had a full-blown panic attack. I like the guy, I always liked him on Made In Chelsea, but panicking over eating pizza (major props to him for pushing through it for an entire week) is not normal. There's a big difference between being reluctant bc you know something is unhealthy, and having a reaction like Hugo did. Not a doctor, not a nurse, not trained in psychology, it was just something that struck me when I saw Hugo's reactions towards the food. Edit: I wrote this comment years ago, and have rewatched this documentary a few times. I don't agree with this comment anymore, but it continues to generate a decent dialog in the replies, and I do not want to delete the thoughts of others. Please continue to engage with this as though I had not added this caveat. I like reading and learning about the differing opinions and insights of others. Maybe I'll change my mind again.

[@heythere9707]

Orthorexia isn’t a real issue though, it doesn’t pose any increased risk in life

[@sydknee2419]

@@heythere9707 It is a real issue, it causes significant mental strain and can result in a lack of nutrients. People often limit calories along with food types, which can lead to malnutrition either from not consuming enough calories or from cutting out entire food groups. And, as we can see in the video, even mild cases cause distress at eating anything "wrong" or "dirty". In life it's quite a large inconvenience, as people can't eat out and a lot of their mental space is taken up by planning and thoughts of food.

Well, they only ate junk food and to be honest some of their conclusions were exagerated and the tests were not exactly scientific and correctly performed. The idea behind the TV show was great, but the way it was realised not that much. For instance, the 3 kg Peter gained are most likely due to water retention due to the huge amounts of salt in the diet and not due to fat on the organs. 3 kg of fat is too much fat to be gained in 3 weeks. Part of it is fat, but the most part is water. That is also why people tend to lose a lot of weight in the first week of a healthy diet, water loss. And this was only one of the questionable statements/results.

I went to the ER in critical condition and I was told that my body does not digest greens. It was really a surprise for me.

I gave up junk food in January 2020 and went low carb. It’s the best health decision I’ve made in ages. No turning back. Most people don’t eat a daily diet of junk food - I hope not. But for most of us, it’s what unhealthy eating does to us over a longer period. 😳😉

Everyone is complaining about how Hugo is annoying/weak, but to me he actually seems pretty rational? I don't think he deserves as much criticism as he's getting for pulling out of the experiment to protect his mental health. He never really complained on camera, he consulted a psychiatrist before pulling out, and he was very apologetic when leaving. Anxiety/mental issues surrounding food are hard to deal with, and he's not weak or annoying for realizing this could be bad for him.

[@ewelinaz6037]

👍

[@hannahwatkins7992]

He's annoying because of how pretentious he was. How he talked about being so "selfless" and doing the experiment out of the good ness of his cold little heart. And yeah, he also complained way too much, he probably had an ED tbh. It's not healthy or normal to panic and have anxiety attacks at the sight or thought of eating something unhealthy.

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

Agreed. Your conditions suggested might make for a better, or more interesting, experiment. However, what I got out of watching this is that 1. rarely does anyone consume ‘junk food’ in the proper amounts needed and 2. this type of food is addictive making it more difficult to be balanced.
