A lot of the super skinnies have a lot more problems than just "not making time for food" Ross is literally sitting down at a restaurant and refuses to eat.
Exactly! I really don't belive they should've been allowed to participate because 'I don't have time' is a poor excuse especially when they're a parent and cooking for their children, or they don't work. If you have time to drunk multiple bottles of coke, you have time to eat. So it's obviously something else, just disappointing that the team missed it or didn't account for it
I don’t think people realise that when he says It makes him feel sick, that isn’t an insult to her diet it’s making him feel sick because he physically doesn’t like food at all and the taste of it makes him gag and feel sick.
It's also that your body just isn't used to taking in that much food. If you're eating at a certain level of calories, and you try to go above it, your body isn't going to want to push itself like that, even if the rational part of your brain knows you're feeding yourself as you should be. Another part of it could be that he's not used to taking in certain food groups, and so they make him physically ill--this is the reason people who drink soda constantly will say that water tastes bad, then say they love the taste of water once they get off of soda. It's always funny to me in a fucked up sort of way that people end up judging the underweight people for acting like assholes. They very clearly have disordered eating patterns, and treating your body like that over a long period of time is going to mess with your emotions, for a number of reasons. I can forgive them for acting like that, same as I can forgive someone for acting out if they missed lunch.
I flip flop between overeating and starving, almost like seasons. It’s really complicated. I feel for people with eating disorders on both sides of the spectrum.

Same. Mine is due to anxiety. I’ll not eat for 4 days because I feel sick if I think about it and then when I don’t feel sick I eat a lot because Im like “oh my god I can eat” so I eat as much as I can before the sickness kicks in for another 2 days- a week
oof ummmya ---I get that part of poking at America but it’s still the truth. Super sizing morgue tables, diabetics w/amputations, we want to look past the ridicule to what we need to do here. It seems sad the overweight people here aren’t helped at all, just used as an ‘example’.
I really hope Ross is seeking counseling along with this experience: it really seems like he has more deep food related issues aside from ‘not having time’
Knowledge about ARFID and how to treat it is still quite scarce, but judging from my very basic knowledge on psychology, I don't believe counseling would help at all. It looks like something you would treat through progressive exposure. So this approach, in which he made an effort to eat more for two days, seems perfect to me.
I hate that I always seem to be eating whenever I watch this show? Like mouth full of cereal and then BAM look at this gangrene or really graphic bacterial infection.... whyyyyyyyy
He almost 100% has afrids. Its an eating disorder where people avoid food out of fear of chocking or allergic reaction. They commonly hate chewing and food textures. It's not body image based which is why he was fine with having a feeding tube and gaining weight. A lot of people with afrids have safe foods that they like and feel comfortable with. You could assume his is chocolate.
@@hello11533 thank you was wondering about this ed he suffers from. Its interesting. I think we all have texture issues with some foods. But mixed with anxiety disorders and then nearly choking to death would definitely put me off food
@@E-eb6ic the thing is both (I.V nutrition) and a feeding tube have their limits. You have to press multiple types of food supplements during the day and monitor for dehydration as the easiest way (and indeed the only way) we've found that works to provide the correct nutritional amounts is by dissolving vitamins and minerals, and amino acids, and fats into an aqueous solution. Despite what most people think you still have to manage oral fluid intakes. Drinking with a nasogastric or stoma feeding tube (or cath) is so damn uncomfortable. Add to that the risk of infection and long term maintenance, what this guy needs is counseling,pediasure, and slow incremental food introduction. Finally, long term dependency on a liquid diet causes smooth muscle atrophy. Over time your bowels can weaken to the point you can't push out excreta or move food along the length of the bowel (important for water and nutritional uptake). It is why gastric bypass surgery is limited in many places. The risk of nutritional deficiencies (that leads to overeating) is too high, so some surgeons will use a less involved procedure that guarantees slower weight loss but an increase in overall patient health, so long as they manage their habits well.
@@E-eb6ic Eating a balanced diet is not that difficult. It's actually delicious and stimulating. It kind of blows my mind when they say these obese people "love food and enjoy eating" but mainly eat disgustingly greasy stuff. The thing is many people are so unacquainted with the basics of healthy eating that they believe it's difficult and give up before trying.
@@Dave-good36 Junk food is not cheap. If you prepare the food from ingredients it's extremely cheap. At university I only ate £1 of food a day for a whole year. Versus paying £1.50 for a single cheese burger from Mcdonalds? These people get several hundred pounds a week in government handouts. The real money comes in when you become too fat to clean/look after yourself, the government throws money at you.
@@LCDqBqA 1£ a day? Did you only eat plain rice, pasta and cereal (the cheap kind)? Because veggies and fruit do come a bit more expensive than that. I agree, cooking your food is much cheaper than take-out, but an apple of a decent size alone already costs like 45-50 cents. And one apple is not enough fruit/ veggie for a day. Half a kilo of pasta costs around 45 cents, so if you eat half that for lunch (I myself definitely eat more than 250g of pasta per sitting) you are already looking at around 70-75 cents which leaves you roughly 35 cents for the rest of the day (considering 1£ is around 1.13 €). Plus I know that in the UK stuff is more expensive in general than in Germany. I am skinny, but food worth 1.13€ would never have sufficed me for an entire day.
mfanwe Padget yeah, especially knowing being underweight can kill you faster than being overweight, I think they focus on overweight more because it’s more grotesque
I like when they start to get concerned about the other person and start wanting to feed them a healthier diet than they are giving them. I can see how sometimes thinking about someone else does help them step back.
Yeah, because A, it works in the anxiety and depression all addicts have (getting outside yourself), plus another set of eyes on the topic. Not to mention knowing how you feel/think. That's why 2 addicts together works better than anything else
Ross did so well! Gaining 15 lbs is amazing, that's the most I've ever seen a superskinny gain on this show, and he just looks so much better! His skin has so much more color, his eyes aren't as dark, and you can see the biggest difference in his body. His stomach isn't concave and his ribs aren't showing. Also, he followed the diet so well, and even cut down his chocolate habit and replaced it with something healthier. I'm glad he succeeded :)
How do you think it would work out? Superskinny would give their plate to supersize supersize would give their plate to superfit and then superfit would give their plate to superskinny 🤯 and just for the meal swaps maybe they can check out how a fit healthy person lives their life? Idk just a thought
If you shame them by a direct comparison with someone whose really healthy, they’re gonna feel worse about themselves and just carry on the unhealthy way to make themselves feel better
Ross probably had way bigger problems than just “having no time” like the other superskinnies. His kind of thinking and reactions towards food was way too similar to how I felt about food at my lowest points in anorexia. He’d probably be better off with therapy, rather than this show.
not true,I guarantee it,I am a picky eater and always desired to gain weight,its still my biggest desire,I just am scared of a alot of food because my stomach issues.....but if I could gain weight I would LOVE IT!!!He is just a very picky eater...but he is not scared of gaining weight,he wants that sooooo bad I can see it.Anorexia is purely mental illness
He could be scared or disgusted with food, therefore he withdraws from it. It is an eating disorder, but I can't remember it. It doesn't have to do with weight, it's simply fear of food due to the texture or whatever.
Maddy Gowers I act like him, but I’m not anorexic I have digestive issues that make it that whenever I eat anything I’m in excruciating pain. So my body ignores hunger and I can’t recognize when I actually need to eat, so sometimes I’ll go like 2 days before i’m like “hey go eat something” So maybe his body does the same thing with choking ya know?
Yeah like I get the point but checking people closer to home would mean they realise that it's happening in their country too. I am Australian and see the full spectrum here, if it happens in USA it happens here next. The difference is we have a much better level of even processed food, meat and vegetable/fruit availability.
I would really like to see the people on this show get the skinnies some psychological help and focus on them a bit more. It’s clear they have serious eating disorders and it’s not something that can be overcome by a dieting planner. They are underlying issues that need to be addressed :/..
Same for the supersizers. Most of them probably have BED and have deep-seated issues as to why they eat the way they do. Just get a psychologist for everyone so they all have the help they need.
i think you're going a bit overboard there. most of them are just busy people without proper nutritional knowledge or fusy eaters. the minority who really had disordered eating (still, not eating disorders) were refered to further clinics/examination/therapy. if dr Christian thought they couldn't change on their own or made too small changes, he told them right away but most of them did well on the fixed diet and gained weight properly. :)
i agree. i have always wondered why this show fails to focus on the skinnies more when clearly, there are hints of eating disorders... ps. yes to the queen cl icon.
They actually do give healthier options. Like Ross was asked to wait more nuts instead of chocolate. And im sure their meal plan contains more than we see.
I’m honestly really proud of both of them- I know we only knew these people for 45 minutes or so, but seeing them succeed in their goals is so amazing! Go Jo and Ross!!!
Yarima Borrego because I’m busy with other things, mainly school, and so I don’t take my health first but school, which ik is kinda silly but I take care of my health, just not so much food
When I lost my big brother, I couldn’t eat for months because I just felt so guilty for being alive and well and healthy and he wasn’t I just malnourished myself. I’m better, one and a half years of recovery :) and counting
That's what I thought, I was looking at her shop thinking no way she can shop like that every week probably on food stamps then she has to go to car right at the end.
I watch these for weight loss motivation lol. I never want to be that big Edit: lmao hey I made this comment a year ago and never realized all the likes and comments aha. Thanks I guess.
The way Ross came over to Jo by hugging and comforting her was so sweet, to show her that he cares for her by telling her to eat less portions of meals everyday by telling her to lose weight and telling go to the gym. 👫🍝🍷🍲🍹🍧🍨
Ross seems to have some kind of psychological aversion to the process of eating. I think the most important thing for him is to identify that, explore where it came from, and treat it. Otherwise he'll just be forcing himself all his life, and that means more chance of slipping.
The woman's-from the States-biggest problem was evident immediately in her trolley as she packed it full of fizzy drinks and all that meat. There was NO fruit or veg which is simply shocking to me. The sad part was that her habits will/are going to be picked up by her children if she doesn't do something drastic.
Not everybody eats veggies and fruits right away. Exactly why I dont get them unless frozen or canned veggies. They'll go bad if fresh and it will be a waste of money.
Kris J I absolutely hate frozen and canned veggies, the taste really doesn’t compare to fresh ones. Sure it’s easier for fresh veggies to go bad but honestly, just learn to shop the right quantities and have an idea of what you’re gonna cook with them before buying them and it should be okay!
AltFreak25 ---It’s already being passed on to her kids, that 11 yr old--even being active-is still heavier and so is the 3 yr old. I was shocked that he was only 3, he looked about 7.
If you're body doesn't get eniugh nutrients and such ur hair falls out, all but body hair cuz thats your body's last attempt to keep you warm but I'm guessing eyebrows fall under headhair
@@Lixzyyy I make these comments and think they mean nothing but hope they do...I hope you know that they actually do help. Thank you for your well wishes.
I always feel bad for the supersizers' kids- esp when they have a little kid like that 11 year old daughter doing everything around the house. They have no childhood and it will mess them uppppp
@@Sewingbee23 She most likely will, that's the sad reality of having fat parents. It's like how most children of smokers will end up as smokers themselves (seen that example too many times for it not to be true), children of fat people will very likely end up fat themselves because their parents feed them (and fat people usually don't know how to feed themselves healthily let alone a child). By the time they can feed themselves the damage is already done.
It’s true doe, since America introduced the world to McDonald’s and other fast food chains the world has been getting fatter and fatter, obesity rates are rising all the way from Europe to China, obviously obesity isn’t as bad as a problem in China and European countries compare to the US but the statistics aren’t lying
@@mikeyrev420 they could give a balanced perspective since most people have days with more or less appetite than normal without hitting an extreme. 3 meals in a day means the portions could rotate like: 1 [super > average, average > skinny, skinny > super], 2 [skinny > average, average > super, super > skinny] and 3 [super >
thats Gatorade. poweraid and Gatorade can come sugar free but I'm not sure if that one was. Its good for hydration and electrolytes like for sports and stuff the normal ones do have a decent amount of sugar though
I find it odd British people have beans for breakfast. A sandwich is not odd compared to that because there are breakfast type sandwiches made with eggs and bacon and toast.
Kind of the opposite of the supersizes who do NOTHING but eat because of boredom depression etc.. Just excuses. But I think this show helps them see that.
Hey guys... person with a severe egg allergy here. We literally have to personally check every label and personally prepare our food. I have sat in a restaurant on multiple occasions at a social gathering and not had anything to eat. On multiple other occasions I went out, wasn't gonna eat anything because I'm also ED on top of my allergy, got convinced to order something, ordered something that they checked all the labels, and STILL spent the next 3 days shitting my brains out and the next 3 weeks allergic to my own sweat because they cooked it on the same grill that they cooked eggs on that morning. There are other people with allergies who do this who don't have eating disorders. If somebody's at a restaurant not eating, it's not always an eating disorder, sometimes it's a severe allergy. I have never done that because of my ED because I just wasn't allowed. I HAVE been doing that in recent years because of my allergy. When you have a severe allergy you truly literally cannot trust ANYBODY to make your food except yourself.
Ahhh geez..ya just wanna make a comment..and that's it..but ya can't.. 😔...ya just can't. Someone's gotta b like blah blah blah..why can't a person just say. Ugh. The man has an eating disorder..not an allergy..and he may b "sick"..but he CAN. He just chooses NOT to....
Andy Engle yes I have loads of food allergies too. BUT this man Ross isn’t eating due to the same reason as you. He has literally said he would rather have a feeding tube than eat or chew. That’s problematic there’s no going around that.
Be a voice for the voiceless ! Um what? As someone who used to have a eating disorder, it’s hard to force yourself to eat food, I wanted to eat because I knew I was unhealthy but I’d end up gagging.
Wait have all of the people in the show never actually seen the show becuse everybody is surprised when the doctor shows up in America, even tho he goes in every episode and his whole thing is *NOW WE GO TO AMERICA*
amara kampert I wish y’all would stop making fun of them because it’s very hard to deal with eating disorders and I really think they do have then because that’s just an excuse to keep up the bad habit
As somebody with a severe egg allergy I feel for that. I literally need to check every label. If I'm at a restaurant that serves eggs because of a social call, I definitely sit there with tea or coffee. I'm not risking spending 2-3 weeks allergic to my own sweat, 3 days shitting my brains out, and/or an anaphylactic trip to the hospital just because your version of a social gathering is at a restaurant. That's not a fair expectation. And you can't just determine that somebody has an eating disorder just because they're sitting at a restaurant with no food. At least they're making an effort to spend time with the other people and also at least they're a cheap date
i’m just saying that they can’t complain that they don’t have *time* to eat if they are AT a restaurant and they don’t order anything or even check the menu
@@mars_mallow_ if they don't have a food allergy, then you're absolutely right. But people with severe food allergies can't eat at restaurants without getting sick, we literally have to prepare everything ourselves or buy only from trusted companies that we have already emailed about our allergy AND HEARD BACK FROM. So, if we're sitting in a restaurant spending all that time appeasing the accompanying loved one by going out, that's a whole lot of time we can't eat, because most restaurants are really rude about bringing in your own prepared food with your own silverware because of your allergy. It's just not socially acceptable to do so. But, you know, it's also not socially acceptable to just skip holiday dinner just because everybody else wants to go out to eat. So then we have to sit there and watch you guy eat but not be able to eat ourselves, and then try and shovel in dishless food because we don't actually have the time or energy to do the dishes anymore after all this sitting and watching everybody eat. Then it's bedtime cause you leave for work in 10 hours and you wanna get up early for a workout and some cleaning. But, you are right, so long as the person doesn't have a severe allergy.
It's weird though because Emma is not related to Virginia Woolf by blood, so the idea that AN runs in families wouldn't really apply to her case. It really is just bragging.
If nobody said anything she would kill herself slowly. Sorry but what he did was the right thing even tho he couldn't have acknowledged his own issues.
She may get really grouchy under-eating but it won't kill her. Borderline just means your blood sugar isn't well regulated but you're not in any real danger. Yet.
I'm guessing she doesn't experience hypoglycemic episodes, so her blood sugars only fall on the higher side and there is not as big of a risk to skip a meal for her
Diabetics who over eat and are not physically active have a higher risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) than hypoglycemia. They also have nutritionists for the participants.
@@amandarobbins2530 yeah like 4 chocolate bars generally are 1000 calories depending on the bar but idk if he eats that many a day, also his dinner really isnt that big id say its around 500-700 calories tops
I understand this too much rn. Trying not to binge while watching this and then feeling guilty and trying not to purge while also watching this is a harsh cycle
ross and jo are so nice!! i know that ross isn’t as friendly and outgoing as LJ from the last episode, but i think that he’s such a lovely chap. i felt so happy seeing him finish jo’s brekkie!! and jo is so cute and nice, i love her determination and commitment to this, and her motivation is heartwarming ♥️
this is one of the best episodes i've ever seen. they were both very respectful, they both tried really hard and both got amazing results, i'm so happy for them!
@@elliaderbyshire7935 Soooo... I'm sorry. I just thought in a world full of breakfast and brunch sandwiches and wraps that this wouldn't be so odd, but I'm also the person who has pasta alla vongole for breakfast, so what would I know. But still, how is an egg mcmuffin an odd thing for breakfast????
Not by blood, though. She's Leonard Woolf's grand-niece. So it's a bit weird to bring up the genetic inheritance of AN when she has no genetic link to Virginia Woolf.

mfanwe Padget yeah, especially knowing being underweight can kill you faster than being overweight, I think they focus on overweight more because it’s more grotesque
In the earlier seasons they do

That Lyric Byotch not if you have fast metabolism. I have been eating like a pig for 1 year and I can’t put on any weight
I kind of love when they're feeding each other. They're both like "you're dying! Let me help you."
I like when they start to get concerned about the other person and start wanting to feed them a healthier diet than they are giving them. I can see how sometimes thinking about someone else does help them step back.
Yeah, because A, it works in the anxiety and depression all addicts have (getting outside yourself), plus another set of eyes on the topic. Not to mention knowing how you feel/think.
That's why 2 addicts together works better than anything else

Show: here’s a lard fountain
Stop hahahaha me rn
The show calling me out on my diet like...
i laughed way too loud
😮
I was eating when they showed the open wounds at the hospital! I had to fast forward lol
Was shook when the American lady said she was 30
Loz Hyatt Same
Same. She looked 40s or 50s.
i thought she was at least mid 40s
The narrator said she was 38 though before she said 30. 😅

Ross did so well! Gaining 15 lbs is amazing, that's the most I've ever seen a superskinny gain on this show, and he just looks so much better! His skin has so much more color, his eyes aren't as dark, and you can see the biggest difference in his body. His stomach isn't concave and his ribs aren't showing. Also, he followed the diet so well, and even cut down his chocolate habit and replaced it with something healthier. I'm glad he succeeded :)
I want to see superfit, superskinny and supersize when they do the meal swaps
Good idea, but how would that work, exactly?
How do you think it would work out? Superskinny would give their plate to supersize supersize would give their plate to superfit and then superfit would give their plate to superskinny 🤯 and just for the meal swaps maybe they can check out how a fit healthy person lives their life? Idk just a thought
Crazy Luigi yes I’m sorry.
If you shame them by a direct comparison with someone whose really healthy, they’re gonna feel worse about themselves and just carry on the unhealthy way to make themselves feel better
It’s not that they don’t know how to eat healthy, it’s that they don’t want to
ya'll need to go out there and find yourself a man as committed to you as Ross is to chocolate
😂
Need to find a lady... but DEFINITELY!
😂😂😂
My guy I am TRYING
But he quit the chocolate O_O
the fact that ross just waves around the chocolate in the scenes where they’re showing off their bodies KILLS me
Ross probably had way bigger problems than just “having no time” like the other superskinnies. His kind of thinking and reactions towards food was way too similar to how I felt about food at my lowest points in anorexia. He’d probably be better off with therapy, rather than this show.
not true,I guarantee it,I am a picky eater and always desired to gain weight,its still my biggest desire,I just am scared of a alot of food because my stomach issues.....but if I could gain weight I would LOVE IT!!!He is just a very picky eater...but he is not scared of gaining weight,he wants that sooooo bad I can see it.Anorexia is purely mental illness
He could be scared or disgusted with food, therefore he withdraws from it. It is an eating disorder, but I can't remember it. It doesn't have to do with weight, it's simply fear of food due to the texture or whatever.
Maddy Gowers I act like him, but I’m not anorexic I have digestive issues that make it that whenever I eat anything I’m in excruciating pain. So my body ignores hunger and I can’t recognize when I actually need to eat, so sometimes I’ll go like 2 days before i’m like “hey go eat something” So maybe his body does the same thing with choking ya know?
That's probably true of most people who've ever watched this show too.
Nakayla Smith he said he doesn’t like the way food feels in his mouth 🤔
"Do you honestly thing this is a normal portion size"
uh scuse me bro but all you eat is chocolate and pork so u aint perfect.
he was being really blunt and rude lol. his diet is just as bad as hers.
Tbf they get told to ask questions and I think he's just really socially uncomfortable
Just bc his diet is bad doesn't mean he can't point out hers is too. They are both there to learn from their bad habits and change
Chocolate and pork and he's still super skinny. It's just more proof.. Keto works?
@@sissyrayself7508 are you blind? He said he eats pasta 4 times atleast a week
The old man who lost his toes makes me really sad he seemed so sweet
I love how they always go to “fat america” to show what theyre not supposed to do lol
Yeah like I get the point but checking people closer to home would mean they realise that it's happening in their country too. I am Australian and see the full spectrum here, if it happens in USA it happens here next. The difference is we have a much better level of even processed food, meat and vegetable/fruit availability.

I would really like to see the people on this show get the skinnies some psychological help and focus on them a bit more. It’s clear they have serious eating disorders and it’s not something that can be overcome by a dieting planner. They are underlying issues that need to be addressed :/..
I think he is afraid of choking or he is emetophobic ,fear of vomiting
Same for the supersizers. Most of them probably have BED and have deep-seated issues as to why they eat the way they do. Just get a psychologist for everyone so they all have the help they need.
i think you're going a bit overboard there. most of them are just busy people without proper nutritional knowledge or fusy eaters. the minority who really had disordered eating (still, not eating disorders) were refered to further clinics/examination/therapy. if dr Christian thought they couldn't change on their own or made too small changes, he told them right away but most of them did well on the fixed diet and gained weight properly. :)
i agree. i have always wondered why this show fails to focus on the skinnies more when clearly, there are hints of eating disorders...
ps. yes to the queen cl icon.
disordered eating doesnt equal an eating disorder :) it’s different
Vegetables anywhere? The show is good at having the people acknowledge their problem, but sucks at showing the better alternatives.
They actually do give healthier options. Like Ross was asked to wait more nuts instead of chocolate. And im sure their meal plan contains more than we see.
@Tom Silverheart I wish you much luck with your constipation
Tom Silverheart how stupid are you?
@Tom Silverheart Imagine being this stupid lmfao, I pity you
Tom Silverheart Vitamins? Or how about just eat them because they taste good and are a healthier snack than crisps?
I’m honestly really proud of both of them- I know we only knew these people for 45 minutes or so, but seeing them succeed in their goals is so amazing! Go Jo and Ross!!!

The way Ross came over to Jo by hugging and comforting her was so sweet, to show her that he cares for her by telling her to eat less portions of meals everyday by telling her to lose weight and telling go to the gym. 👫🍝🍷🍲🍹🍧🍨
He gained around 6,5 kilos, and she lost around 13 kilos, if I transferred it right :-)
Good job and keep going on!
Jelena Baka actually she lost 10.9kg and he gained 6.8kg. nice try though
spoiler 😐😐
Thanks!
not being able to shake hands beacuse they are covered in barbecue sauce is definitely my dream mood
Ross seems to have some kind of psychological aversion to the process of eating. I think the most important thing for him is to identify that, explore where it came from, and treat it. Otherwise he'll just be forcing himself all his life, and that means more chance of slipping.
Afrid?
Idk but her bowl of carbonara with garlic bread looked amazing. . . . ☺
waaay to big for his tiny stomach haha
just searching the comments to see if anyone thought it looked amazing aswell :)
S L I KNOW
Almost all of the food looked amazing to me
I'm sorry but as an Italian I am required to say this: that's not carbonara
The woman's-from the States-biggest problem was evident immediately in her trolley as she packed it full of fizzy drinks and all that meat. There was NO fruit or veg which is simply shocking to me. The sad part was that her habits will/are going to be picked up by her children if she doesn't do something drastic.
Her children seem to be quite large as well, but that's fine as long as they're active. They're still growing.
Not everybody eats veggies and fruits right away. Exactly why I dont get them unless frozen or canned veggies. They'll go bad if fresh and it will be a waste of money.
She was on my 600 pound life
Kris J I absolutely hate frozen and canned veggies, the taste really doesn’t compare to fresh ones. Sure it’s easier for fresh veggies to go bad but honestly, just learn to shop the right quantities and have an idea of what you’re gonna cook with them before buying them and it should be okay!
AltFreak25 ---It’s already being passed on to her kids, that 11 yr old--even being active-is still heavier and so is the 3 yr old. I was shocked that he was only 3, he looked about 7.

@@Sewingbee23 She most likely will, that's the sad reality of having fat parents. It's like how most children of smokers will end up as smokers themselves (seen that example too many times for it not to be true), children of fat people will very likely end up fat themselves because their parents feed them (and fat people usually don't know how to feed themselves healthily let alone a child). By the time they can feed themselves the damage is already done.

I think they should have a third person, that has a normal healthy diet!
who would they swap with though? or else like what would be their purpose
@@mikeyrev420 they could give a balanced perspective since most people have days with more or less appetite than normal without hitting an extreme. 3 meals in a day means the portions could rotate like: 1 [super > average, average > skinny, skinny > super], 2 [skinny > average, average > super, super > skinny] and 3 [super >
I would ask to quit
I wish they would, at this point idk what a normal diet is, I’m either overeating or under eating constantly

i was about to comment that
It’s interesting to see how even the super skinny have a diet based on junk food, but just in very low quantities.
They need the sugar for energy to function
I miss the tubes where they showed what they ate in a week.
Me Too.
That was a really big waste of food so maybe that's why
Me too.
Me too. The corner cutting just isn’t it. Also miss the week long swaps. 2 days is shit
The tubes were great for both extremes. Not so great for the wasted food particles. The skinnies eating approximately 30% of the sizers weekly intake.
14:30 😳
Did she really just swallow the pills which she needs to take because she's obese with a kind of sugar water? 👀🙊
Humanity is dooomed 😱🤦
thats Gatorade. poweraid and Gatorade can come sugar free but I'm not sure if that one was. Its good for hydration and electrolytes like for sports and stuff the normal ones do have a decent amount of sugar though

Ihate humans How Ironic! 😒
Hey guys... person with a severe egg allergy here. We literally have to personally check every label and personally prepare our food. I have sat in a restaurant on multiple occasions at a social gathering and not had anything to eat. On multiple other occasions I went out, wasn't gonna eat anything because I'm also ED on top of my allergy, got convinced to order something, ordered something that they checked all the labels, and STILL spent the next 3 days shitting my brains out and the next 3 weeks allergic to my own sweat because they cooked it on the same grill that they cooked eggs on that morning. There are other people with allergies who do this who don't have eating disorders. If somebody's at a restaurant not eating, it's not always an eating disorder, sometimes it's a severe allergy. I have never done that because of my ED because I just wasn't allowed. I HAVE been doing that in recent years because of my allergy. When you have a severe allergy you truly literally cannot trust ANYBODY to make your food except yourself.
Ahhh geez..ya just wanna make a comment..and that's it..but ya can't..
😔...ya just can't. Someone's gotta b like blah blah blah..why can't a person just say. Ugh. The man has an eating disorder..not an allergy..and he may b "sick"..but he CAN. He just chooses NOT to....
Andy Engle yes I have loads of food allergies too. BUT this man Ross isn’t eating due to the same reason as you. He has literally said he would rather have a feeding tube than eat or chew. That’s problematic there’s no going around that.
Be a voice for the voiceless ! Um what? As someone who used to have a eating disorder, it’s hard to force yourself to eat food, I wanted to eat because I knew I was unhealthy but I’d end up gagging.
Wait have all of the people in the show never actually seen the show becuse everybody is surprised when the doctor shows up in America, even tho he goes in every episode and his whole thing is *NOW WE GO TO AMERICA*
It's possible that these episodes were shot around the same time. A day or two from each other, n way before these aired.
They probably know but they don’t tell them *when* that’s why they’re always surprised
I’ve watched every single episode of this and I still have no idea what a stone is
14 pounds = 6.3 kg
1 stone = 6kg
14lbs = 1 stone
all the super skinnies are like "I just dOnT HAve TiMe to eat!!" and then sit in a restraunt with nothing on their plate
amara kampert I wish y’all would stop making fun of them because it’s very hard to deal with eating disorders and I really think they do have then because that’s just an excuse to keep up the bad habit
amara kampert why do you have to say all of them? Most of them have never said that. It’s mainly this one that’s like that.
As somebody with a severe egg allergy I feel for that. I literally need to check every label. If I'm at a restaurant that serves eggs because of a social call, I definitely sit there with tea or coffee. I'm not risking spending 2-3 weeks allergic to my own sweat, 3 days shitting my brains out, and/or an anaphylactic trip to the hospital just because your version of a social gathering is at a restaurant. That's not a fair expectation. And you can't just determine that somebody has an eating disorder just because they're sitting at a restaurant with no food. At least they're making an effort to spend time with the other people and also at least they're a cheap date
i’m just saying that they can’t complain that they don’t have *time* to eat if they are AT a restaurant and they don’t order anything or even check the menu
@@mars_mallow_ if they don't have a food allergy, then you're absolutely right. But people with severe food allergies can't eat at restaurants without getting sick, we literally have to prepare everything ourselves or buy only from trusted companies that we have already emailed about our allergy AND HEARD BACK FROM. So, if we're sitting in a restaurant spending all that time appeasing the accompanying loved one by going out, that's a whole lot of time we can't eat, because most restaurants are really rude about bringing in your own prepared food with your own silverware because of your allergy. It's just not socially acceptable to do so. But, you know, it's also not socially acceptable to just skip holiday dinner just because everybody else wants to go out to eat. So then we have to sit there and watch you guy eat but not be able to eat ourselves, and then try and shovel in dishless food because we don't actually have the time or energy to do the dishes anymore after all this sitting and watching everybody eat. Then it's bedtime cause you leave for work in 10 hours and you wanna get up early for a workout and some cleaning. But, you are right, so long as the person doesn't have a severe allergy.

Ross needs a shrink, not a nutritionist. He has no room to lecture Jo on portion sizes and what is normal and not normal.
If nobody said anything she would kill herself slowly. Sorry but what he did was the right thing even tho he couldn't have acknowledged his own issues.
JonnyAppleSeed You could say the same for him tho... His diet and the rate he’s going at is slowly killing him too.

...timestamp?
If Jo is borderline diabetic how is it safe for her to do the diet swap?
I hope Nancy is given support and advice too ❤
She may get really grouchy under-eating but it won't kill her. Borderline just means your blood sugar isn't well regulated but you're not in any real danger. Yet.
Or they regularly do her blood sugar to check. She's ok
They both were put through a medical test of all the bells and whistles before entering the clinic
I'm guessing she doesn't experience hypoglycemic episodes, so her blood sugars only fall on the higher side and there is not as big of a risk to skip a meal for her
Diabetics who over eat and are not physically active have a higher risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) than hypoglycemia. They also have nutritionists for the participants.
I can’t believe she’s Virginia Woolf’s great niece! She actually looks like her!
No way on earth does that tiny amount of Ross’s food equal to 1.500 calories! Never ever!
Sma amounts if good can still be calorie dense. However I've heard they deliberately overestimate to not trigger people's eating disorder
I think it’s the chocolate. You can easily get up to 1000 calories on a few chocolate bars plus a pasta dinner
@@amandarobbins2530 yeah like 4 chocolate bars generally are 1000 calories depending on the bar but idk if he eats that many a day, also his dinner really isnt that big id say its around 500-700 calories tops

I was looking for this comment!
Not by blood, though. She's Leonard Woolf's grand-niece. So it's a bit weird to bring up the genetic inheritance of AN when she has no genetic link to Virginia Woolf.
