- Burgers and Bacon are the staple foods for this junk food addict who's on the road to obesity and poor health. Can Felix Economakis and Charlotte Watts cure her freaky eating?
#FreakyEaters #FullEpisode #JunkFood
Season 3 Episode 1: Niquita eats two thirds of her own body weight in bacon, burgers, chips and baked beans each year. Her addiction to extremly fatty junk food diet is putting serious strain, on not just her body, but also on her relationships. Felix Economakis and Charlotte Watts have just four weeks to break their addiction.
Freaky Eaters is a British documentary series that looks into the lives of people with food addictions. - บันเทิง
What a horrible "therapist" brushing over her telling her story. It's an honor listening to something vulnerable like that.
And HE ASKED THE QUESTION! That was horrible to watch him cut her off.... wtf
Yeah I thought it was rude too! & She said she wanted to talk about it.
I think he just didn’t want her to breakdown and wanted to calm her down it wasn’t rude way
The interruption was a blunder but at least he was telling her to do something which is actually an important part of processing an emotion. His timing was just too aggressive.
And why aren’t they giving her food that tastes good in the first place?? How about a strawberry ?
the fact that they made her try a raw mushroom. A RAW MUSHROOM. of all the vegetables to eat raw.
Yeah I like raw mushrooms but I’m a freak for that. Who would ever serve someone a raw mushroom outside of a salad?!
fr tho 🤣
Mushroom is a fungi and it’s usually grown directly on shit. Then people say you should only brush off the “dirt”.
I refuse to eat mushrooms in any shape or form.
idiot@@user-xb2jx9zx1k
My thought exactly!
This girl was the most willing person I’ve ever seen, everyone in this show let her down.
You'd think this woman murdered someone from the opinions her family have of her. Bullying and shaming a trauma victim will not resolve the issue. What this lady needs is unconditional acceptance, love and new therapists.
Amen.
I was shocked to know she's only 29 years old. I thought she was on her late 40s in the thumbnail.
If she was thinner, she would look her age. Her skin isn't terrible
Obesity does add age, when I was obese at 18, I looked far much older than I actually was
She is pretty tough.
@@jakubkolcar6789 you need glasses, my friend
🤣🤣🤣 fast food 4ever
It hurts hearing her fiancé say he wishes he could go to a restaurant and not be ashamed. Wow! Not embarrassed, ashamed. And saying it’s easy to go out and get someone else. Dude, you’re one foot out the door already!
Janira Gonzalez exactly you can tell he never supported her to begin with . He seems to have a big ego too she’s probably better off without him
I was JUST wondering if they're still together. Eleven years?! Lol but not married yet.. hmmm
Tbh it would be embarrassing if someone you're eating with spits out food
He’s not even attractive lol
He's ashamed of her eating habits, not herself as a person. He's been with her for 11 years, do you think you could put up with her longer than he has?
Why wouldn’t they start introducing easier foods such as orange sections, strawberries, FLAVORED yogurt to begin, baby carrots, jello, roast beef (still beef but we’re working toward learning to accept new tastes), baked potato with butter and cheddar cheese (instead of cottage cheese), toast with jam, scrambled egg with cheese, broccoli with cheese sauce, etc. Slowly move toward other foods. Starting with mushrooms, cauliflower, CHARD WITH HAZELNUTS???? I doubt many “normal” eaters would like some of the offerings they started her with. 😢
Exactly 💯 I would never ever eat chicken and any kind of meat .what an awful choice to start her journey with
Wow I really feel sorry for Niquita here. Her lack of support system is sad to see, she must feel so alone, the comment her fiance made about how easy it is for him to go out and get somebody else, I’d be dumping him there and then, I’m not going to stay with someone who’s gonna make me feel like an option. Her mum isn’t any better, not even praising her for taking a couple of bites of a salad that she ordered, At least she tried it and didn’t spit it out, also why is a psychologist who is supposed to be an expert tell somebody to just get over their trauma? I’m sorry but someone qualified in psychology should know better than to tell someone that. All of them put together did a terrible job with her. I hope she’s doing okay now
Shut up hottnes.. I bet your saliva is sweet as hell!!
she is just spoiled.
Blame everyone else for a grown up persons life, take out all her agency away like she was just a lifeless object - that will deffo help her succeed in life.
Exactly...it's sad she has no support 😞
your so right with all these words. I cant believe what her fiance said about her it was disgusting, i hope she left him because she deserves way better than feeling like an option just as you said, shame on him.
YES!
i hate all these people in the coments saying she is spoiled or that the bf shouldnt have to put up with her "bs".
Eating disorders are really complicated, its so hard to overcome it. Its very much a real thing, not something u can "just get over it", it takes a long time and alot of perseverance. All these people are uneducated and it shows
The fact the "psychologist" is brushing off Niquita's trauma is horrible. I hope she's much happier and better now
That's what I thought. It's like his saying yeah yeah it's not happening so move on.
A lot worse things happen being abused every night off ur childhood
@@mariecotterill5888 that doesn’t make it any less traumatic. It’s not a competition.
This is so immature, I have no patience for this nonsense. There is no trauma. Grow up woman. Your fat body should be enough for you to grow up. If this is the only way you can stand out, you have a sad life.
True!!! Unfortunately I feel like at that moment her trauma only became worse, like "if a psychologist can't help me, then nothing can". I need that woman to know that he must've bought his degree cause he's got zero skills...
I think her support system is the problem, not her. She's the most willing person I've seen on this show.
When her fiance said "it's not hard" I felt incensed! Her family has been so impatient.
@@ShadowRose1622 seriously! She was brutally attacked and has PTSD. I can understand them wanting her to eat healthier, they just should've been more kind.
@@wellhi2430 100% agreed. It’s obvious that her family care but they went about it in such a terrible and old fashioned way.
SERIOUSLY THANK YOU
It's not his obligation to stick by her side and put up with it either.
If he's so unhappy, he should of just left a long time ago to be honest, but something's keeping him around. The fact that he hasn't left should be a admired in itself.
This episode seemed incredibly toxic. Her partner, mum and the therapist seemed to approach it in such an awful way. She clearly wanted the help and to change but the way it was done was insane. that hair stylist did an awful job of her hair as well
Im not the only one who think that they ruined her hair
She would look great with medium brown hair imo. And her mom and boyfriend are horrid people, blowing off the trauma that happened to her. She used food to have some control of her life, like an ano***ic would. Yes, I have to censor the word, but binge eating and obesity is fine. I hate this world.
That hair do was horrible
I can't even imagine getting hit in the head/face with a brick when I was 15. No question, I would have developed some form of coping method. So I totally understand this lovely woman's struggles. They are so much greater than my own. I do hope she found more support and empathy.
i feel like they always have them try raw ass uncooked unseasoned vegetables... setting them up for failure there.
*edit* yes raw veggies are delish, im just saying that cooking them and adding a little bit of flavor would probably be more appealing to someone like this
Yesss!!! They try to make it more interesting
yessss!!!!!! I was saying that too!! Like damn! I'm a vegan and I hate raw broccoli and mushrooms! Can they sauté it? Sheesh!
I know, who the hell eats raw mushrooms?? Saute and add some seasonings. You can make most vegetables taste good if they are prepared correctly. 🍲
better to start out simple then add as they go. They get to either know or remember the basic tastes and if they used to like it or eat it before and in what way etc... It is boring but spices and seasoning could be also very overwhelming.
My guess is that it's more about forcing them to confront their fears as directly as possible than it is about actually making them like the vegetable. The point is to try things and to learn to feel okay if they don't like it! I'm sure they season the vegetables when they're eating at home
They made it seem like she needs to do this for them instead of herself. They were unsupportive and the bf was a nightmare. And they pushed her trauma to the side and basically said to get over it. She was almost murdered in an experience that barely anyone ever went through and got out alive or okay. She’s strong as a person for trying and pushing herself to get better but the support around her and from the show was horrible.
That is right, get over it, grow up, you're not 6 years old anymore.
Her bf was not a nightmare, he is with her 11 years, 11 f years, I wouldn't take that bs for more than a few months, just because he didn't sugar coated? After 11 years he is nice enough to still have the patience to talk to her calmly, he should have left her years ago, he works out and it's active, I was in a relationship where my bf was a skinny sedentary guy and it was awful when I wanted to hike, to climb mountains, have a walk in the park, go out at night , go to parties, travel and so on and never wanted to the things BC never had the energy , he was extremely picky whilst eating, but not as bad as her, we lasted 5 years and a half, because he was nice enough to eat what I cooked and when he didn't wanted or liked the menu of the day he would order his own food without complaining , but it was very draining , tiring and worn you out , she sleeps by why she told herself 10-12 hours everyday , plus her work around 8 hours, she has like 4 hours of her day free, which she is not working out with her bf who clearly likes working out or doing nearly anything with him BC he said and even her mum "she has no drive, she is always tired", sucks to be in a relationship like this and sorry he is not a "nightmare" to complain, is not even about about how she aesthetically looks, it's about how to live with someone like this becomes stressful and sometimes even insufferable
@@nightwishlady I typed that they made it seem like he was and that she needed to lose weight and to stop for them not for her.
This show is terrible
I like how honest the bf was. Nowadays you can't say ANYTHING when someone is overweight.
She needs therapy for what happened to her. She can't even talk to her family and friends because they're so toxic and unsupportive
Smoked salmon on her first test as well. I've deadass seen these people give a woman 5 different colour chips to ease her in and they decided give this woman smoked salmon. Crazy
Right? Salmon is good but it's a fishy fish. If they actually cared they would have started with something like raw tuna or baked tilapia.
Yes it was stupid food choice
She is so cooperative and lovely...her mom and the boyfriend on the other hand, totally unsupportive...I hope she is healthy and happy now...
Her fiancé does not seem to truly love her. Within the first few minutes of this episode he stated he wanted to leave and go find someone else... She needs unconditional love and support, not judgement.
Karma will get him one day...but there's a lot ppl like him in the world...and he will meet 1 of them and they'll judge him like he judged her...u can't do that to ppl and expect any good from it...shame on him
Maybe because she is not working on herself and that’s very selfish
No, he’s just fed up that’s all. She has to want to change for herself.
He's gay
its not his job to be her therapist and care giver.
this show is so sensational. Rather than ease her into foods they give her raw vegetables with no dressings and unsweetened plain yogurt. Next they try her on very strong flavours that many people do not like.
It was preposterous to give her RAW FISH!! omg.
Totally agreed, the food choices they are giving her are terrible
They do it to get more reactions, so they can have more viewers
Seriously, why wouldn’t they actually give her something with some flavor?
surströmming maybe
Her fiance is so lacking in empathy. Saying it's not hard when clearly it is for her. She could do better
The therapist was so unhelpful when she brought up such a sensitive traumatic experience.
They did a god awful job with this poor woman. Just telling her to 'get over' her trauma, the mother victim blaming her own daughter for her attack and 'wanting her old Nikita back' the boyfriend getting irritated with her for struggling with the potato, and the enforced singing performance. So much of this was done so badly, and I wouldn't be surprised if the poor woman was even more traumatised when it comes to food by the end of it. Every person in her life is making her trauma about them, how it makes them feel and putting all of that on her to fix for THEM not for herself. The pressure and the fear of letting them down is the main driver here, not getting well for her own health and benefit. The 'psychologist' never calls this out. This honestly made me so ragey.
The singing bit is SO painful. She needed more than just food therapy.
@@watermelonineasterhay you are mean 😁
But you do have to get over the trauma in your life if you want to live. Feeling bad about it kills us
@@kaya_in_North_Carolina when it comes to trauma, one can never “get over” it. It stays with you forever. With that being said, what can be done is learning to cope with the trauma by going to therapy, obtain coping/self-care skills, and, hopefully, recognize that they are victors and that they can rise above the trauma to help others
@@puertoricangirl89 I would never take advice from someone who believes trauma is meant to last forever
They handled her badly. She needs to be taken to the other pair of psychologists 🥺
Let's go to the dog track lol
That psychologist first was like the axe in the woods! Absolutely insensitive and terrible! You cant stir up a severe life threatening Trauma and then go "oh its past". I would be up and out of the door! And yes, I had psychotherapy myself and know its a lot of trust you give the therapist. He was just horrible.
@@ranjapi693he was just reminding her that she’s a survivor and made it through that event.
@@ranjapi693so is it not past? Was he incorrect? Should she stay in the past and have those girls have control over her entire life? That's a huge problem with today's society as a whole. Far too many people want to hold onto that victimhood their whole lives and wonder why their lives are so miserable. It's because they don't deal with it head on and move forward from it. People need to see that it's okay to move forward and just use the bad for good instead of dwelling on the victimhood.
I was at night school with her years ago, small world😂
How could they just put her on stage like that?? no prep no rehearsal... man I hope shes doing well, shes such a wonderful being. She deserves so much more than the ppl shes surrounded by.
Throwing her in front of a crowd singing Celine Dion is insane! Congrats gal!!!
Instead of throwing away all that food, they should ask the participants to donate it to homeless shelters and other needy causes.... same with all the food they make to show the people how much they eat in a year. Throwing away all those canned goods seems like a real waste. Move past your fears and help someone else at the same time
I always see that in this show. I mean there are some people that can eat things in moderation and don't have issues with it.
The bread looked old. The show is known for this though. It is not new to people who watch it. Also, we really only get the image of the food. It probably goes in the trash or was donated for the show by groceries or shelters where they have too much food to take. I worked at a shelter and we had to toss quite a bit of food away. Old bread is given and it spoils quickly. Meat is frozen though and will last a bit longer but is only really given to families that can cook it of actually eat it all. Many homeless also don't have many teath so they cannot chew normally.
I agree
ikr
It's a show... that means it's staged. Calm down.
She seems like a sweet girl, I hope she's doing well these days and leading a healthy life! x
Ugh, I hope she dumped that awful boyfriend! No “I want her to get better”, or “I’m worried about her”, it’s “I’d like to go out and not be ashamed”…he only cares about himself, disgusting!
Bf is a red flag "it'd be easier to leave her" rather than help her?!
The psychologist was SO bad he literally chuckled and stopped her when she was crying (12:24) and one of his only goals was for her to "get over it"
Ehh.... I don’t think he chuckled! To me he sounded like he was getting emotional too.
And he stopped her talking coz he didn’t want her to relive the experience
To be honest it seemed like she was about to have a full blown panic attack, I think he was just trying to stop that from happening and calm her down, get her to stop reliving it at that moment.
Recent research has shown that when someone relives a traumatic experience it doesn’t relieve the stress, it increases it because they are reliving the experience in their head. It’s like it’s happening again in the present! So he did a good thing telling her it was in the past and to let those feelings flow right out of her.
They called him psychologist here, but on other videos I’ve seen the show calling him a coach, so... idk what he is honestly, but whatever it is, he certainly doesn’t care about her
And the dietitian is trash, she expects attracting her with unseasoned healthy foods. It's sabotage 😂
She looks just as old as her mother that's sad and scary ...but she's still young she can turn her life around for the better
I truly feel for this girl. She tried so hard, with really little to no support.
I was pleased when finally they used a chef to show her how to cook healthy foods that taste good. No one likes boiled broccoli on its own. I wonder how her diet was when she was younger? Was she introduced to all these foods? I understand that trauma caused most of this but it does make me wonder what her diet was like as she was growing up. Good to see a very supportive partner.
TWENTY NINE?
She looks 50
I would say she looks 40 but still it's sad but she can turn it around she's still young
Defo doesn’t look that old lol, looks like in her mid to late 30s
Yeah she looks 56
I would say 40
She looks way older! I'm 30 and don't look my age.
How her boyfriend acted was out of order when they had their meal together. "It's not that hard" "I don't really like it but I ate it!", he really doesn't understand her issues with food and how to support her. It's like when people with depression are told to just "cheer up".
I don't like when he implied he was ashamed to be seen out in public with her. This is why I wouldn't date a super fit person who frequents the gym all the time. They tend to look down their noses at people who aren't exactly like them. I know I'm probably being unfair, but this particular behavior has a tendency to really piss me off.
@@MandyBuglet agreed, but i dont think all fit or even super fit people are like that, just depends on each person. ik very fit people im best friends with and dont look down on me, and my gf of now doesnt care that im a bit overweight. but people who look down on others for their weight is a big big asshole move
im 99.9% sure it was directed drama for the camera hun 👋🏻
Amanda Mullins didnt he mean that he was embarrassed by her relationship with food, rather then how she looks ?!😆
JayTheJet編集 it’s not so much looking down on their weight but looking down on their way of living. if you’re overweight then you obviously don’t take care of yourself. which is very unattractive. I don’t understand why SOME people are so overweight...
I feel so bad for her. This had to be really tough for her to go through emotionally.. let alone on television! Wish her well!
That therapist shut her down the moment she started sharing trauma. That poor girl! I hope she is doing better now.
What about a veggie burger on a wheat bun with veggie? Doesn’t seem this show tries to recreate a healthy version of what the person likes. Just a thought. I enjoyed watching. Cheers
Cuz they trying to create an alternative pattern to cut off bad habits
@@francescapucciano9205 Well the thing is her addiction to burgers and bacon is only a problem because it's unhealthy. But if she learned to eat healthy versions of burgers and healthy dishes with bacon she can eat these things for every meal and still be fine. They could help her a lot better if they worked with her desires.
mike dodd I thought the same!
I thought out veggies in what she likes as well. .. the show just wants the reaction
I believe that the reason why they don't do that is to make them get used to other types of dishes. If she had a veggie version of a burger or something similar she might as well be addicted to it. The gain is not necessarily in eating many vegetables, a healthy diet is based on proportionated variety.
Ps: Plz forgive and correct any grammar mistake I might have made
No matter what the food fetishes, the participants always eat chips.
The food waste on this program is criminal, especially in a country that has to import food.
Trails & Travel No one cares how much money they’ve made.
Food waste and waste in general is bad for the environment plus there are millions of people everywhere
Who haven’t had a meal in days so please.
I think you mean fries, right?
@@Flamsterette they're called chips in the UK. Crisps are chips to them. Chips are fries. Dialect differences.
@@devilssemblance5938 Cool. Thanks.
That's because potatoes are the food of the gods! They're probably the most nutritionally complete and the only reason some of these people are alive.
I cant believe they threw canned food in the bin!
The Spanish tapas is too advanced for her - new flavor combinations too soon. Not sure why they’re insisting she finish her meal.
The two girls that hit her with a brick have some serious problems
Jealous slags
The newspaper should never have printed the picture of her beat up. That's exactly what the girls and their friends wanted to see. I bet they have clippings too.
I just realised how many likes I got like whaaaa

@@swamprat9389 😂
Talking about hard trauma, gets cuts off 😑
He really needed to let her express and let it out. Not ignore it.
She was going to start hyperventilating...I can tell....he was trying to not get herself all worked up because it might push her back to that place.
I really felt for her during that cafe scene with her Mum. I know that pain of feeling like nothing you do is good enough, its like well whats the point in trying :'( Her Mum didn't think before she spoke, saying "you're just playing with it now" isnt going to encourage her, its just going to make her self conscious. She did so good even just ordering that chicken salad! To take a good few bites and not gag or spit it out was so amazing, she should be so proud of her cause I am
i wish her all the best. getting better, happier and healthier. sending the woman lots of love
Throw all that food in the bin??? Why not donate to a food bank or soup kitchen? So wasteful 🤦♀️
EXACTLY!
Certain foods cannot be donated or they do not take from any person. Food banks here only takes from stores and such but not some random person
She looks really old. Oh man so scary what wrong food could do to u.
It's yuh girl mikkeai8908 exactly
Her mother actually looks younger so its not all the genes fault i bet
It's yuh girl mikkeai8908 is that the excuse you use to eat fries and burgers all day?
Nah white people just age terribly
@It's yuh girl mikkeai8908 I think you are closer to it but lack of sleep and a lot of booze till late in the night ages also faster.
Having grown up as a “freaky eater” myself, I can absolutely relate to this exact episode and her experience with food down to a T. The reason I believe she was able to overcome and stomach the food when she finally cooked it herself is it was a massive step in KNOWING what’s in the food. It removes the fear of the unknown, which causes most of the gag reflex , honestly I had the exact same thing. I basically trained myself for a year to get over it but I could never eta out, I was always picking at my food, would always go hungry, never ate any veg it was a very similar situation. She did amazing.
Also….. she did so well despite everyone around her putting so much immense pressure and pushing her towards unnecessary limits that literally make her take a step back …. For me I was so easily triggered by my family and their responses and opinions to my eating habits that even when I was making progress their teasing and horrible comments made me regress, made me feel unsafe and would set me back. I remember very clearly telling them all they were not allowed to ever get involved with my eating make any comments and set firm boundaries…. A year and a half / 2 years later I was able to eat almost everything and never had anymore issues with food, and they literally forgot I had that issue too… it’s amazing what a person can get through when they are determined
Geez they really challenge the poor girl (and she seems lovely) …I was surprised with natural yoghurt, which I eat but also know it can be challenging as it’s sour and a certain texture. Then with the tapas they give her chard and then olives. Neither of these are easy foods for someone trying to adjust 😮
Wanna try te eat vegetables?
Her : tries raw mushroom.. .-.
I mean at least put some spices, herbes..
Ikr they always make them try raw vegetables most people dont like. Ofc they'd gag 😒
@@goldenapple3952 🤣🤣i consider myself being healthy but ik damn well i ain't eating raw mushrooms!
@@manalbahhada7622 i love mushrooms but with seasonings and cooked with pasta not raw like a fruit 🤢
Right? Like jesus who eats raw mushrooms
Yeah, no raw mushrooms. Prepare them with seasonings and make them taste decent. It is possible.
I think it was kind of mean surprising her with making her randomly sing in front of an audience without preparation. She hadn't done it in eight years. They could have at least given her time to prep..
That’s why she was hit with a brick.
@@lughlamhfhada i-
lughlamhfhada cuz she sang?
Hannah Banana Cause she sang like that.
lughlamhfhada - you sound like a really nice person. ..... karma exists ....🤔
They’re making her try raw flavourless vegetables and expect her to incorporate that into her diet when she already doesn’t eat vegetables 🤦🏾♀️ horrible exposure therapy
I know this was 4 years ago. It made me cry when she came back on stage to sing. So proud of you!!
Oh jeez...the Story she told about being beat up is really really horrible..that was hard to listen to
yes... I see many comments here about her look, and voice - but she suffered a terrible attack... she has to process it somehow. I really feel for her.
That must have been so scary. Not something you just get over with and move on.
A lot of people lack sympathy and it’s easier to judge and be mean I guess
A. L. Michael it is true and unfortunate. 😕
Made me really upset, can’t believe there are people in the world like that.. 😔
To be fair that chicken salad she had for lunch with her mum looks grim. dry and tasteless!
I was thinking the same 😅
I eat chicken every day (massive food intolerances - I would eat different foods if I could) and finally learned how to cook it the way I like it. I cook it on my little indoor grill with olive oil and a little seasoning, then shred it and make a dressing with olive oil and a little jam. I eat the skin, too. It's the best part.
That "chicken salad" she was eating looked sad and grim. Not sure I could have eaten it, either.
It needed some salad dressing
Yeah, what was with the carrot shavings too? bet they were raw too.
I would have cried if my s.o. walked away from the table like that and said I was ridiculous He was so rude to her😢
Facing your fears so head on is incredibly brave. Well done.
It’s kinda sad that everyone’s dissing her for how she looks
Yea...I thought so too
super sad that even her husband mentioned her looks first and the fact that she’s depressed was just a side note to him
she looks like lynsey lohan actually
or however it's spelled lately
Yeah gotta agree it is sad people are dissing her.....but it is self inflicted on her side.
I think everyone has been so hard in her. She has genuinely been trying and made an effort. I would be in tears if my family called me fat.
And who the hell wants to be stared at while you are eating??? That would put anyone off!
If they call you fat, you’d probably try not to be fat
I'm used to my family calling me fat
I don't feel much of the support from the family tbh. She is trying to overcome it, yet still they just have no patience with her. Few days after she was in the new regime, when she invited her mom to eat...mom was still giving her shit that she made little progress.
What was she expecting? That it's just gonna go away in a day or what? Like day 1 you eat a veggie and day 2 you can eat a salad or what? Overcomming trauma and addiction is a lengthy process and you have to fight it until you die. That is how this shit is. If she has a weak will, she might have to avoid burgers and bacon 'till her death bed, since relapsing is just so easy.
It's easy to grill someone over their addiction than encouraging their efforts to change it
@@Aikano9 Actually, I'd eat a giant hamburger in front of them and say, "Yeah you like that?". Because that kind of family would suck.
She needs to try harder
I have a similar eating problem. My diet isn't as restricted as hers, but I do have the 'I can't eat that without being sick' mentality about certain foods. It makes life really hard sometimes. I'll watch the people around me happily eating pastas or turkey sandwiches or certain vegetables, but if I try to eat them, sometimes I can't even make myself put them in my mouth without instantly feeling like I'm going to throw up. Life feels pretty hopeless because of it sometimes. Especially when all you have left in the house to eat is a can of potted meat, dry bread, and a few condiments. Then, I feel ashamed of myself, because I know those few items would be a blessing to SO many people, but here I am dreading eating them. I remember one Thanksgiving my family was out of town while I was house sitting for them, and the neighbors invited me to join them for their Thanksgiving dinner because they didn't want me to spend Thanksgiving alone, and I cried for three days before the holiday because I was so worried and stressed out about not being able to eat anything they served and hurting someone's feelings. Went well, in the end, though. I ate very little, which no one seemed to notice. It was a nice evening with a wonderful family...
My biggest issue with nutritionists is how wasteful they are. They always tell you to throw away sometimes hundreds of dollars worth of perfectly good food while there are people out there who would literally kill to have that can of beans you just threw away. Like, wtf? Are you people willfully blind to the struggles of those who truly have nothing? For god's sake, they could at least get some volunteers to take the food to shelters instead of just having people throw it in the trash. It's just so willfully ignorant to the plight of people who genuinely do NEED that food. They're just spitting in people's eyes when they tell you to throw away good food. They could stock entire charities with the food that just goes into landfills. I have homeless friends who only get to eat if the local dumpsters have enough food in them, and it's hard to see what they go through just to get one decent meal a week.
Also, a word of encouragement from a former shy person to other people with confidence problems: Always be you, loud and proud as you'd like. If someone doesn't like it, they're clearly not someone who's meant to be in your life, and that's better than ok, because you should surround yourself with as many people who DO like it as you possibly can. You don't like something someone else likes? That's fine for them, they can have it, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. That's just you doing your own thing to be happy, and if someone doesn't want you to be happy, they're not worth your energy or the perks that come with knowing and accepting you.
Hey you may have AFRID, just saying… you should go to a therapist or psychiatrist or psychologist (I genuinely forgot the difference so I’m just putting all of them down). AFRID is a type of eating disorder and it may explain your behavior and problems. You may have to even do eating disorder recovery if you do have it
@@VESPERS-LIGHT I'll look into it. Thank you! :)
This women needs a HUG!! At least hold her hand I can't imagine the trauma she's had to live through.
@I Dk seems like you could grow some emotional compassion
She seems really sweet bless her, just ruined by some sad chavs and unsupportive family.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️🙄
i feel so bad for her she was trying so hard but these "experts" and her family were so incredibly unhelpful!!
To the boyfriend she's trying her absolute hardest and she's doing amazing she deserves better.
Forget her weight (I understand this carries its own separate health concerns) but in general - how has her body sustained itself? Would love a nutritionist to weigh in. I know the body perseveres in survival mode but NO fiber?? At all?? No other source of nutrients than meat and white bread?? This is insane to me
this show annoys me! food waste is terrible why throw tinned food away!?? then the people act like fruit and veg are poisonous
Why do u watch it if it’s annoying to u
@@TweekingCat i do find it entertaining but there is so much food being wasted instead of binning it could of donated it?
Jess Smith ok
Yeah, I hope that was just for the camera and they donated the tin food after the shot :/
I just commented the same thing, disgusting it’s thrown in the bin when so many people are starving
"She changhed so much in the past 15 years"
Oh my God, it's almost as if she's aging!
I have found that cooking my foods make me more open to trying things. Having an understanding of whats in m food makes it less scary
She was very sweet. Horrible trauma and not great support from her family 😢
The boyfriend loves himself so much, if he was a bar of chocolate he’d eat himself
Chocolate lives matter 😂
😅
I eat him and here yummmm
Not really, he just looks after his health.
He looks like he can throw down
What happened to her at 15 was bloody awful to hear! Bless her heart! Wtf is wrong with people! 😔 I hope she’s okay today ❤️
Great job Nikita ❤
Gout is no joke, my boyfriend gets flare ups and at times he can hardly walk. Thankfully he’s started eating better and it has helped tremendously.
I always watch these thinking I'm in for a lighthearted clip of some wacky eating and then 40 minutes in I'm tearing up because I'm so proud of someone for overcoming their fears and taking control of their life
Same! She actually made such a great progress so early on as well!
Right
The caption had me at bacon and now I'm this girls biggest cheerleader!
Who the heck eats raw mushrooms?
i know right... like give the woman some roasted seasoned veggies no wonder shes horrified
I swear I don't know
I do
I dooo, I like them better than when they are cooked!
I eat raw sliced mushrooms dipped in dressing, but I know it's weird lol
😂😂😂 the yogurt does me in too doll! The first bite of every yogurt I have to remind myself that I like it so I can get over the tang.
I’m proud of her!!!
That food specialist is EVIL, how do you go from bacon for 10 years straight to raw fish.... -.-
She's dumb and really sucks at her role, shouldn't be doing this show. In other episodes she fed ppl raw garlic cloves, raw broccoli & mushroom and had them gag. She took a guy who hate fish to a fish market made him go insane and discouraged to continue doing the show. The psychologist is carrying every episode
@@user-kl8vj2qy9w I saw that and was mind blow! I'm surprised he didn't quit right there.
Then I'm shaping your statement to a question:Who is eats stuff like that for 10 years straight? It's ridiculous...
@@user-yf2zd8xw5x I have a very reasonable diet. For supper tonight I had lettuce wrap tacos for example and raw brazil nuts for snack earlier. And I refuse to eat raw fish. I refuse to eat most raw vegetables without something on them. I am happy to eat them with a light red wine vinegarette. They really did set her up to fail. I can see a nice piece of salmon seared in a bit of butter well seasoned with some freshly streamed and seasoned green beans but raw fish and raw veggies with nothing on them? They didn't really expect her to eat that.
Easy,too many snowflakes,1st world problems
Why can’t the boyfriend take her to the gym and work out with her? He seems to know a thing or two about fitness and the nutrition that goes with it. She’s not that big to begin with...
Because with such a grease filled low vitamine diet she probably has little to no energy so trying to get her to work out would just cause her to either break down or hurt herself
@@eretzyisrael1140 People must really like you. ,•-•,
Ricky W dude chill jesus
@@eretzyisrael1140 lollll
@@eretzyisrael1140 You need to be polite, if you're having a bad day, don't take it out on other people.
I really hope she's ok... does anyone know of an update?
Cant believe they gave her RAW FISH when she has a problem with different foods WTF, even people who doesnt have this problems struggle eating sushi, some people hate it
This show was ridiculous
Why didnt they go for fish' n' chips ?
These people deserve more than raw unseasoned fruits and vegetables. Give them a meal
I don’t think you season fruit unless you’re making apple pie for example
exactly what i was thinking. All the things they gave her were gross for people without eating problems.
wow her mum was so unsupportive and salty. my heart goes out to this gal
Unfortunately relatable
Wow they're so horrible to the poor girl. Toxic people surround her 😢
What an absolutely sad time Nikita went through all of those years. Her mum and beautiful partner Matthew by her side through it all. I applaude her for staying positive and getting through the months experience. Wishing her lots of love in the future. A great documentary, well done .Nikita xxx❤️💙❤️😘🤗🥰
Omg the singing thing was so cruel! As a performer you cant do that to someone who hasn't done it for ages, let alone not practised.
I thought that too. I'm a singer and would still want to practice or be prepared before a performance.
It would be nice if they re-did the bloodwork after 6 weeks, or 6 months to see how they've improved. I love how positive this girl is about the experience, especially given her trauma. Also, props to the BF when she was trying the porridge. He looked so happy for her.
Wow! Fantastic! She did a great job!
Well done✅✅💕💕
Child abuse kills souls.
This poor woman 🥺 That “fiancé” is already half way out the door. She needs a friend and a support system. Those experts on this episode were ridiculous. That “intervention” film was ghastly! Omg.
Agreed. Everyone treats her like crap. Including the so called experts. Why stick raw vegetables in her face?? Doesn’t she deserve some nice dishes with veggies that have been prepared and cooked???
Omg I love this woman she is Awesome!
This whole show is about people with ARFID (avoidant restrictice food intake disorder), its an eating disorder that causes an aversion to foods with "unsafe" or "not right" textures, tastes, smells, how it looks, thats a big simplification. Its common in autism but could manifest after a traumatic experience with food, such as choking, getting [very] sick after eating something, being force feed as a child and more. Its important to remember that they arent chosing to have such a limited diet and they need the same help as anyone else with an eating disorder.
ive been looking for this comment!! she isn’t addicted to burgers and bacon, she is avoidant and has anxiety around everything else
Wtf...did her psychologist just...giggle... at her trauma? 12:25
Google User yeah, that was fucked up.
well maybe he had something in his throat, like when you want to keep talking but something is bothering you and then it passes as you talk?
But he stopped her as well. She was trying to release her pain by talking and this douche started laughing and stopped her.
I just don’t think he was expecting that, like it was a lot to take in even for him. It was distasteful, but I don’t think he was trying to be mean.
Whiny B then why is he a psychologist?
A young woman who was brutally attacked as she was was emotionally stalled at that age. "Getting over" the attack is not so simple and does take time and importantly HELP from family. I sense Mom did some nurturing but didn't understand this changed her daughter. Allowing her to change and not be Mama's little girl would have kept her from being locked in for so long. Hopefully she continued growing after this big push.
Aww was heartbreaking that video bless her hope it all worked out well for her
Wow all those fries and burgers wasted lol
I truly believe giving someone fish to try when you're trying to deal with a food addiction is the absolute worst thing to give someone
Agreed. And how many people like plain broccoli? Yuk
I will eat all kinds of vegetables before I eat seafood I just don’t have the tastebuds or the stomach for it. I’m always down to try but it never works well. The only sea food I somewhat like is stuffed claims. But seriously I do not like any sea food.
Especially raw fish
@@laura-annebauer7747 me
Yeah, they were setting her up to fail. Seriously, you're going to give her olives? Might as well have made her eat oysters. SMH. I thought maybe theyd start by putting a piece of tomato on a burger but they went straight to raw fish... Tf
Most people have at least 1 food they dislike, you can't expect her (or anyone) to love everything you give her.
Such a sad story about when you were growing up no human deserves that especially at 15 your a strong woman being able to open up and talk about it thought are with you
The mother is a piece of work.
Amazing...
Omgd. Girl, you are amazing. It's the support that you are missing from both your family & boyfriend. It's crazy to me how her loved ones are so NOT supportive. You go girl. And you did a lot of progress. Don't do it for other people, just do it for yourself. You are lovely. And you deserve the best.
My favorite comment ☺️
The bf needs to go
I think the BF was very supportive actually, honest but committed to stick by her.
Did you not see her boyfriend jump over the gate to comfort her.????
