Exploring the Dangers of Crash Diets | Will My Crash Diet Kill Me? | Only Human

George’s alcohol consumption should worry him a lot more than his weight!

A bottle of vine, a gin-n-tonic and a can of beer a day isn't "likes his drink", it's alcoholism.

This is just eating disorders with extra steps. 530 calories a DAY?!? Absolute insanity.

Any diet that requires less than 1000 calories a day, unless directed by a medical professional, is absolutely ridiculous.

I totally dig the 2000s vibes in this documentaries. The science seems to be from the 2000s as well though... xD

Did we really need to see the lady weeing on the toilet?

Overeating is related to mental health. Unless you deal with the mental health, nothing will stick.

As someone with an eating disorder, these programmes actually give me ideas, the health implications don’t even worry me, i’ve just started eating lunch and dinner again, so on the road to recovery, fingers crossed!

Just because you are only allowed steak and yoghurt in your diet does not automatically mean you have to combine the two on the same plate 🤢

And this is why people say diets don't work. They do these dumb crash diets and then go right back to their bad eating habits that made them gain the weight in the first place.

George could've lost it soo quickly by cutting alcohol and limiting eating out/takeaways

I'm so confused you're promoting crash dieting by talking about how awesome it is to finally get results while also trying to say it's dangerous and deadly what message are you trying to spread you're sending mixed signals

Eat little less, not after 6pm, move a lot, quit alcohol (it is pure sugar/calories). Worked for me.

530 calories!? Dr now doesn’t ever prescribe that for his severely obese 600 lb patients! Wtf. I mean if it works for somebody it works! But the issue will lie in the maintenance

I tried to do the Lighter Life diet but only lasted 3 days because it was torture, I was on 500 calls a day and felt like I was being starved. Nothing is worth that.

lol it’s always amusing when the diet experts are a little bit chunky themselves. ❤❤🎉🎉😂😂

I rather lose the weight slowly because I know I have a better chance at keeping off long term. I'm not a professional, but I feel crash dieting sets people up for long term failure. Losing weight should be about changing your lifestyle long term, not to lose 1 stone in 2 weeks without really learning how to change for a healthy balanced life. So far I've lost a bit over 10 stones over the last couple years. I do not follow fad diets. I learned to eat smaller portions, I gave up none of the foods I enjoyed, I just enjoy them in moderation. And for me this method has worked well. (I'm working with my doctor to make sure I'm doing my weight loss in a healthy way.)

The irony is by 2023 body standards none of these people seem overweight.

As someone who is technically dieting, this show is the most dangerous one I’ve seen ever. Fad diets are not healthy no matter how you dress it up and the majority of people won’t keep that weight off because the eating habits have not changed for the better, just changed temporarily to something unsustainable. Lose weight slowly but changing how and what you eat to something you can sustain and live by is the best way to diet. You won’t fit into the pair of jeans a size or two smaller in a week but with sustainable lifestyle changes you can in a few months and stay that way.

16:22 you can’t weigh your self for one day and say “I’ve lost 3lbs!” My weight can shift 5lbs in day with water weight, food, going to the bathroom. This is so sad. What have we become in the name of thinness? 😞
