This isn’t “extreme dieting”, it’s having an eating disorder. Wtf?!
bjorkish68 nah is extreme dieting, they haven’t got anorexia etc they are just wanting to lose weight but instead of doing it by eating healthy etc they are just trying out fad diets!!
@@kellyblondie8415 eating disorders isn't just anorexia and bulimia, binge eating, over eating, and general disordered eating like food phobias, extreme restrictions. The man especially seems to binge and restrict, it's disordered eating.
I wouldn’t say she had an eating disorder, but definitely doesn’t have a healthy relationship with food and she’s was using pills, but there wasn’t any indication; it just pills. Yes, having and ed can be many things, but we shouldn’t just judge on what we see and he didn’t tell us as it still is extreme dieting with pills.
@@YourMoonJoy yes and no. I totally agree with everything you’re saying. However, having an eating disorder is a really big thing to accuse someone of having. It’s one thing to extreme diet and it’s another thing to have an eating disorder. I guess they struggle so much with losing weight they look towards pills as it seems to be an Easy way out. It’s typical with diets that you gain weight, because it simply isn’t sustainable you either change your lifestyle or you carry on with what ever you were doing. He may or may not binge and restrict himself, but it might not be something as serious as an Ed, but simply just laziness in wanting to lose weight. If he really wanted to be wouldn’t go on stupid diets that lead him to just gain more weight in the long run.
Personally, I see this as extreme dieting and not an eating disorder as everyone has the mindset of wanting to lose weight and be the perfect version of themselves.
Some take it to the extreme, and sadly I am one of those people :/
Yeah the guy is clearly a binger
everyone in these comments has clearly never suffered an eating disorder before
Right. It’s annoying af.
Sentinel Infinitude With an opinion like that, the only person here feeble-minded is you.
I struggled with binging and purging for nearly a decade
I just had one. I was almost hospitalised.
Yeah tbh these diets seem pretty tame
Referring to disordered eating behaviors as just "extreme dieting" is a big part of the reason it's hard for these to get help until the problem has become really, really serious
I feel like both of them could’ve been way more sympathetic to the poor guy
i think its the fact that their disoder doesnt die that easy. they were never ugnorant, they are tired of not fitting into the beauty standard, and that girl was already super skinny so to them she couldnt relate or compare to the struggle of being fat in society.
Lmao shut up.
This was completely sprung on them. I'd be awkward in that situation too. What are you supposed to say?
Girl literally looks like she's about to fall asleep
She hasn’t ate a proper meal for a few days now
Spooky Ghost that is horrible 😐
@@aaminahakhtar6168 😭😭
Heartbroken for him losing his little sister to and really hope he heals in time but his sister will be so proud that hes potentially saved two peoples lives on this and more watching this ❤️❤️❤️💔 rip to all the people who lost their lives to dieting x
The guy: my sister died
The two in the video: Aw that sucks :/
what else can you say
That's a bummer dude lol
@@Opinions567 u could say"omg im so sorry for ur loss, i'll think about ny actions next time"
@@maplemation1564 that sound so sarcastic
@@maplemation1564 they literally both said that they'd think about their actions and stop.
we all know they aren't gonna stop doing what they're doing , theyre just gonna be avoiding stuff that will seriously injure them asap
Dont eat less, eat healthier.
@@jessicaanderson2486 I'm sorry to hear that. I think what I said is a small change but it really helps. I've struggled a bit with that, but what helps me is a "diet" called "realfooding" which it teaches that 90% of the foods you eat are not prossed foods and the 10% rest is for a simple treat just when you need it. (Idk if I explained it right but hopefully it works)
Jessica Anderson I can hear what you are saying, although I have never had a problem with this. All I can say is, good luck with adding some more calories to your diet and healing your illness.
That's great if your goal is to be healthier, but you won't improve your weight unless you reduce your caloric intake. It's literally just a case of calories in/calories out. People have lost weight eating junk simply because they were only eating like 800 calories a day. Eating healthier will help since healthy foods tend to be lower in calories by default.
ive tried everything.....except eating less and doing physical activity
"I wanna look at myself and say wow" you do not need to be slim to say that, you just need to love yourself to say that
Shit... as a person with binge eating disorder and body dismorphia that hit me
The amount of people who I’ve known who think they would be happy if they could just get thin. Then they get skinny and STILL hate themselves... if only people knew that loving yourself starts and ends with who you are on the inside
Ok but maybe they can only love themselves if they're smaller? Maybe they don't want to love themselves as they are? Self improvement is not a bad thing
Your man just laughed at him
LOL that's what i though i think it was just an awkward laugh tho
It believe it was nervous. Sometimes you just laugth when you face something horrible.
It's not due to him thinking its funny. It's due to not knowing how to react. Relax
I would laugh to I'll be like loool
@@divinentungu1426 why you reaching for attention
So sad our society has come to this.
Get active... You can eat, but keep being active, work your ass out.... Walking, running, swimming, gyming, cycling whatever suits you..... Keep away from social media for sometime, clear head... Focus on life quality...you’ll get there.
Take amphetamines and go vegan
Hmm I can tell from a majority of people in the comments have never had an eating disorder
I don’t know if these people on the video see these comments but I would want them to know they don’t need to change their looks to be worthy of love and acceptance. I hope they find a healthier relationship with food
This is sad . I used to use painkillers because they made me lose weight really fast . Obviously I didn’t understand my stomach was basically rotting . Then me being sick and being obsessed . It’s sad how easy eating disorders take hold . But I’ve never thought of pills because of the risks .
That dude looks like the adoring fan in Oblivion.
Rest in peace ❤️
Its not the weight/fat that you hate, its yourselve
Heal that and you are unstoppable
true but people with eating disorders are mentally wired to hate their body, u clearly don’t get that
There's only one diet.
It's called maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Natasha Mcilveen so true!
Thats true but im guessing youve never had an eating disorder... i doubt you have ever woken up looked in the mirror and felt truly disgusted with your body. You haven't tried so dam hard to get skinner and i doubt you have ever starved yourself for weeks on end to look "perfect" but your original perfect when you reach it doesnt seem perfect anymore so you do it again and again until your half dead or willing to risk it all
Ellin Louise Miller Snoxell hi, I’m actually in recovery for bulimia and have had an eating disorder since I was 15 and I am now 26. I totally get what you’re saying but it doesn’t change the true fact that the right ‘diet’ is a mindset. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating well and being active. Getting out of your own head and thinking rationally is the only way out I’ve found. I wish you the best if you’re recovering or suffering you’re not alone xx
@@ninetiesgirlkatie hi im glad your recovering from mia... i totally get its a that it is a mindset but its almost as people on these comments haven't seen/ been in an eating disorder spiral first hand and i feel like they are almost chipping in slightly rude comments about just eating healthy or just go to the gym. When your 'stuck' in the perception of not looking as you want to its hard to act rationally around just eating healthy as i ate healthy but i still had/ have a derogatory perception of the way i look and its hard to get out of that mindset once your in it. I totally get that a normal healthy lifestyle also has to be sort of "made" in your head. Xx sorry if i offended anyone
@@ellinlouisemillersnoxell7170 I understand what youre saying. But, my point still stands. These people don't have an eating disorder. They're clearly just looking for an easy out. Trendy diets.
It's really sad that the moment they leave that building they're gonna completely throw away what that man had said and continue living that lifestyle till they're on their deathbeds.
These 2 look so unbothered. This clearly went in one ear and straight out the other.
I'm sorry for the family's loss.
the guy in the flamingo shirt is a sweetheart, he has such empathy . and suzy was also very lovely to the bereived brother
Rest In Peace Angel !
I'm here for anyone ! 💖💖💖💖💖
just telling someone with an eating disorder that “it’s not good, you need to stop this” won’t just solve their problem. they need actual professional help, not someone telling them their experience. i had an eating disorder a few years ago, people were always telling me to eat more, that i shouldn’t be like this etc. that won’t work. again, they need professional help
This really hits home.
DNP (dinitrophenol) works by inhibiting the production of ATP in the mitochondria, which has the effect of massively reducing the efficiency of energy production in the body. The result is that the body tends to use up much more of its energy reserves than it normally would and weight loss usually results. The chemical was in fact used for a limited time as an obesity treatment in the '1930s but was abandoned as it was very difficult to safely use. It can cause dramatic weight loss, but it is extremely potent and has a high toxicity, so it is very difficult to dose safely; there is also no antidote for it and taking slightly too much can cause a lethal increase in body temperature which is very hard to reverse or control. Best left alone.
No one is scared to die, until they face death.
Very wise. Guru
@@lighgblue2676 lol
being obese my whole life im 22 i remember at 13 throwing up after i ate to keep the pounds down. Ive lost loads of weight being overweight and healthy and gained it all back too. Now im older my issue is binging and binging intensely in a short period although its now rare. when i track calories i would decrease the calories from the binge and undereat the next day etc. Now that im trying to lose weight again and calorie trcking im trying to just thing positively and how i feel along as tracking
Please get a professional help. You'll be only worse. You'll find yourself in bingeing-purging/restricting cycle. As a bulimic I can tell you, please see a doctor and a registered dietitian. Stay safe 💖
I wish our outsides reflect our insides. Like good people look beautiful and bad people ugly.
Who said being skinny makes you prettier,if you were to get a true love he will appreciate the way you are..Never struggle to change because of what people say..
I think the main point of this is how dangerous these diets are, especially with the Kardashians endorsing shakes and stuff. However, the tone of this video was very downplaying on these people with obvious mental health issues
I’m not scared of death I’m afraid to become sick or paralyzed or unable to talk, move that’s thousand times worse as dying to me
that poor girl and her famirly 💔
I've never suffered from an eating disorder, however I've got many people in my life who have suffered from an eating disorder or are currently battling with one. One of my dearest friends had been hospitalized for 6 months and spent 1 year in a psychiatric facility (voluntarily).
End of extreme dieting was feeling like a failure, self hate, bulimia and self harm for me. Now I'm on bunch of antidepressants, trying to recover. Recovery is as hard as being sick. Recovery does take a lot of time and doesn't go smoothly. Now I'm studying nutrition and dietetics but still a bulimic. As a dietitian to be with an ed I can tell you please be gentle and kind with yourself. Extreme dieting, blaming yourself for eating is not the answer. Stay safe guys💖
I feel sorry for these two, I know what it's like to hate the body and starving yourself to be skinny. Still struggling with this and even though people tell me my body is beautiful and sexy I just don't feel like I am.
You don't need to be sexy.
Please my sister has an eating disorder it affected our whole family
I feel like the guy telling his story of his sister had no emotional impact on the two people? Wtf
Because they brought in someone who was unreliable to them. Idk how much is cut in the scenes but he didn't actually talk much about his sister so it wasn't as emotionally impactful on them.
I had an eating disorder for three years in college and its was the worst and best time of my life. I lost a lot of weight starving my body, excessively working out and abusing laxatives.
Oh my god that’s so sad my heart brakes for him 😭
so sad :(
An eating disorder is not an extreme diet. It’s a mental illness. But boyyyy can dieting to the “extreme” trigger it, it’s fuelled by bad body imagine and just turns into a monster, or it did for me. It nearly killed me. My body will never be the same; I’ve completely ruined my metabolism, my fertility, my hair, my hunger cues. I’ll never be able to view myself without distortion, and never be able to think about food like a regular person. That’s what I’ve got to carry now, even two years into recovery. I’m much happier now, but the effects are still there.
I think it makes a difference that they are both very young. Talking about death is really flippant when you’re young enough not to really believe you are going to die. I mean of course you can experience loved ones dying from a young age, but you don’t truly believe it’s going to happen to you when you’re that age. You feel immortal.
I’m afraid this is me💔
They need talk to somone thry borderline eating disorder
I remember watching an episode of Untold Stories of the ER and a young girl took DNP to lose weight and it was making her body burn up from the inside like it's a German manufactured drug for bodybuilders I think they said and it's banned in the US idk about the UK 😱😱😱 I feel so sorry for that poor man's sister 😢 she looked so pretty and unique ☺️ xxx
"burn up from the inside" is that a medical term?
i've gotten extremely skinny over the past year due to vicious depression. it's awful. i can't say i hate *being* skinny, but the side effects just suck. i never have energy, i'm always cold, my joints are unstable due to muscle loss. i truly hope these people get help, because to inflict that on yourself intentionally is just insanity.
Toms sister looked like Melanie Martinez. She was so pretty
don't compare an innocent girl to a rapist
Actual Pancake Nah she’s not a rapist
@@MrThemovie321 girl those claims were literally proved as false, the ex friend lied to ruin her new album
He looks like the little Britain guy LOL wtf
As someone suffering with anorexia and bulimia, eating disorders are extremely dangerous. You cant just eat, or escape it. Its as addictive as drugs and is so hard.
I've lost 25 kg in a year so I know that it can be done,
The best advice that I can give for people that wanna lose weight is just sticking to a healthy diet and exercise, DO NOT buy any supplements if you don't know shit (even if you use supplements just use protein shake and pre workout, AND USE IT AS A SUPPLEMENT to your diet), don't be scared of weight training (most girls that I found on the gym are scared to get bulky, nah you won't, unless you deliberately want to pursue that)
Tried every diet apart from work and move more eat less 😂
To be honest, you don't even really need to work out/exercise much as long as you have a good diet. I used to be quite fat before I moved out of my parents house and started eating well, after that I lost a lot of weight.
Of course it's a different story if you want to be muscular
Slowpoke Rodriguez yes 80% diet and 20% exercise
Easy said than done
@@curtwall7089 honestly mate for me it just came down to habit forming. My self control goes out the window any time I'm around junk food, so I have to simply NOT allow myself to buy it, spending as little time in those aisles in the store as possible. I heard this thing once on a program that my mum put on TV that went a little like "It is 10 times harder to stop yourself at home than it is at the supermarket" with reference to buying and eating junk food and that really stuck in my mind.
After a while it seemed fairly easy for me to keep up this behaviour but who knows I might have been lucky.
If you want any information about my diet just let me know and I'll tell you.
Edit: it took around 1 month for me to not even have to think about buying junk food. I'm still letting myself off at Christmas though 😉.
They are so willing to workout and stuff, just give it time and eat great. Best way. Ive lost over 100 lbs before and it was via not eating, working 3 jobs and pain pills and alcohol. I almost died twice in 5 years and now 5 years later, I have l the weight back plus some as I killed my organs and now have chronic disorders forever. Please do it the right way. Im happy to be alive even being bigger. I get to see my kids grow up. ❤❤
Sadly my uncle to whom i was very close with died of an overdose of diet pills
Both of them couldnt give a toss
I used drugs to try and keep weight off. Its hell i dont recommend it on anyone.
try switching to cigarettes then, easier to find, less hellish and more acceptable...
@@onengkusumah2905 dude, cigarettes are drugs too.. and it has like zero benefits. the best f***ing diet is sport and balanced eating.
@@redbee5741 i know that. i was just telling him an easier option than drug. Diet/sport/balanced eating won't work for druggies.
idk yano cocain gives me shits am quite skinny😂
Such a beautiful girl so tragic the ends people go to feel perfect it's horrible
Some of these comments are annoying. We all know the way to maintain a healthy weight is by healthy eating and exercise, but when you have an eating disorder your thoughts about food and your body are warped and you’ll do things that basically damage your body and mind.
You’ll have a voice in your head telling you not to eat certain things or not at all. On the days you lose control, you’ll feel disgusted and guilty about it which means sometimes you try throw up everything you’ve ate. I could go on, but I won’t.
Maybe do your research on eating disorders before trying to sound like a world class dietician in the comment section. Smh.
Their goal is strange and their road map to getting there sounds even stranger 😳
Social media can take most of the blame here , why can’t we just be kinder to each other & ourselves?
I lost 125lb by cutting out snacks and soft drinks eating 3 healthy meals a day at regular times and I was exercising. I bought a pedometer and made sure I walked 10,000 steps a day minimum and went to the gym 3 times a week. I went from 301lb down to 175lb in about a year.
I wish i could gain weight
No offense but the guy at 0:41 reminds me of a english gay Joker version.
Toni Blackstone he's not english
This is why impossible beauty standards hurt so many people.
It shouldn’t be about anyone else that you’re dieting or putting your life at risk. Think about you and your overall health instead of just trying to lose weight. To that comment down there, I know it would definitely be hard with an eating disorder but it’s just advice
Tessa Summerlin some people need outside motivation because they don’t care about themselves. It could make a huge difference in a lot of people’s lives. It shouldn’t be that way but many suffer from mental disorders that prevent them from loving themselves.
calorie deficit ....... thats it
I looked at thumbnail and I thought they were CGI characters
I remember the dude with blonde hair from first dates!
I see a lot of comments here about how to Diet or not to Diet. I believe this is not the real problem here. You know, what really helps if you know someone who's having eating disorder, you need to be suportive to this person and show true love.
If everyone around Tom's sister would have been more gentle toward Bethany and tried to help her up instead of putting her down, she wouldn't have done all this.
Be kind to each other and try to help those you love. Think about what is good for them, not about what is good for you.
❤️🐝
I agree
These people are just very ignorant of how the human body works. Losing weight and being healthier takes hard work and discipline. If you can't be bothered to put in that work and have that patience then you'll only get what you deserve 🤷♀️
they most likely have body dysmorphic disorder. i hope they can get help
If you want to lose weight and be healthy:
-Join a gym
-Eat healthy
-Sleep well
Enough said
I don't believe in diets... I just eat less n watch what I eat more... LMFAO
that's all it takes honestly but people are fixated on instant results lol
Wow so funny lmfao
Yeah but someone people have a mental illness where a voice inside their head tells them not to eat, makes rules about foods e.g. danger foods and safe foods, tells them to starve, tells them to purge. Eating disorders are the mental illness with the highest mortality.
lauren yeah but these two ppl don’t have at least in this moment eating disorders. They’re just obsessive dieters, wich is very bad too, but don’t have the patterns for an ed imho.
Study well first a head what diet method you are going to have,also know your body enough if it works for a long time.
She will still do it you can tell
Stuff like this scares me. At my worst in my ED I would take 2 or 3 diet pills before eating anything, idk why, it became a compulsive thing , and I drank so much Slimquick berry flavored crap on empty stomach. who knows what's in that stuff. :/
I’m not fully knowledgeable but I’m pretty sure if you think about it there’s only one to control your body
I think that guy goes to my uni
Isn't the title misleading? It should be "Body Dysmorphia" rather than just "extreme dieting"
I used pills, but I didn't buy them on the internet, I looked at the ING and they were natural and I consulted with my doctor too
That is disordered eating
Bro. The bleached blonde guy laughed when the dude told him that his sister died
Lottie Love nervous laughing is a coping mechanism for some people, it happens anywhere
I don’t understand people who take pills to lose weight. JUST EAT LESS
Kimmr - that’s not how it works.
Wow this is so sad, his sister was so beautiful. How can people sell this knowing this could happen
I just want to look at myself and not be disgusted, is that too much to ask?
Could be. You are the sum of your actions. Behaviors and habits can change. Self-loathing is not a good attribute. Your self-loathing could be a bigger problem than your weight. See a medical professional.
Weights, cardio and clean eating will do the job
My brothers and sisters lifting weights at gym do work 100%, they just take a little bit of time but you will definitely get results , and would feel very good from inside out, please try lifting weights instead of all these shortcuts, enjoy your day.
I DO sympathise.... but rather than dive head on into a trendy DIET -STUDY WTF your body needs, and HOW IT WORKS. THEN study how to OPTIMISE what it does and how it works. A DIET is a LIFESTYLE FOREVER -it's not the temporary thing for just before a wedding (which you can do, but please don't.) God Bless y'all -and hold for a couple of months, I'm coming out with a revolution for your PALATE, to help you change your lifestyle. FOR BETTER, FOR EVER.
Address your insulin resistance.
Stop being extreme.
Achieving a healthy body takes TIME!
Somebody tell them that they're gorgeous! But I understand, 'cause the reason can either be the society or one's own beauty measures. Anyway don't be so harsh on yourselves, you live once and just for yourself.
I have the opposite I want to gain and get excited every kilo I gain

They even don't make any sense?! You want to be skinny but not afraid to die ?! So what's the point of you're okay with dying?!
Avid Swam They just want to ‘fit in,’ no matter the cost. But the widower let them know what the cost to other people might be.
Suzy is so beautiful the way she is. Such a shame
Just in case: you don’t need crash diets or magic pills, that’s actually a way to never successfully loose weight. In order to be healthy with your weight, you need to learn basic nutrition and change your habits: that doesn’t mean hunger, or never eating an ice cream again(those things are not healthy)or whatever dieting industry tells you so. Find the right dietician, if you
Can’t see a profesional: cook at home, measure your portions, plenty of fruits veggies and legumes, and you will be ok 🥰
Honestly people need to learn to love themselves it’s all in the mind, just control your portions eat healthier & exercise it’s not that hard.
" oh it's not hard to love yourself when you are always reminded that you are not fitting the beauty standards by beauty commercials, doctors, your work place, Instagram models promoting unhealthy diets and unrealistic bodies. Which lead to some people going to extreme length to fit the beauty standards that they have been told to be no matter the cost In the Long run."
I need to gain weight, my metabolism is too fast😵.
Or they could just go to the gym...
And I can't even live without a chocolate everyday, help 😭
You can eat chocolate every day and still lose weight.
chocolate is actually good for the health. Real chocolate I mean.
