Why Are Thin People Not Fat 5/7

[yliu90]

I think that viral thing is bogus and not a major reason for obesity. It may have a minor effect, but it could just be that fat people have a higher chance of getting the virus (after, they eat more and have a greater chance of obtaining it). Furthermore, having a virus that targets fat cells means that the fat cells would lyse and die rather than the fat cells replicating more. The virus becomes a parasite and hijacks a fat cell machinery, not allowing it to function normally (e.g. replicate).

[TheButtonNose]

The virus thing just made me paranoid lol

[gladitsnotme]

wait a minute.... there's a virus that can do all that?!! WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE? WHY ISN'T THIS ON THE NEWS!?! WHY ISN'T THIS TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS?! WHY DON'T DOCTORS TEST FOR THIS??!!?

[BrandonShayMusic]

respond to this video.... hahhahhahhahahhahaahahhhaha

[BrandonShayMusic]

WHAT IS THE ACCENT THAT DISSASOCIATES THE "CAN AND CANT" POLARIZATION

[NorseAztec]

Anyone else think the blonde medical assistant is pretty cute?

[GloriaGloryGirl]

@NorseAztec no

[Rubystars1000]

That clotted cream makes me want to puke lol

[mike6459]

should have measured the intestinal alkaline phospatase(enzyme that breaks down fat) of the test subjects

[l3erserk7]

Asians confirmed for master race

[Laereom]

Most likely, the asian guy had a smaller basal metabolic rate, so when they doubled that to give him the amount of calories he needed to eat per day for the experiment, he had a smaller calorie surplus.  The larger, more muscular white dudes were probably eating at a surplus of around 2800kcal, whereas the less muscular, smaller individuals were probably eating closer to a surplus of 2000kcal. Which would account for some pretty vast differences in bodyweight gain.

[nsw219]

I know right, it does look like the more weight they gained the shorter they got. lol Weird. PRetty neat video though, i'm skinny and I've always struggled with gaining weight. I mean not everybody wants to be 100 pounds and like 25 years old. My ideal weight is like 120-130.

[Masychefx2]

IMPORTANT INFOMATION 7:00

I REPEAT WATCH THIS TO AVOID INFECTION

[ShihTzusShit]

It's kinda sad how they're eating all this extra food, when it could all go to people who really need to eat...but it's an experiment so..

[tomheppy]

more fat cells without fat in them wont make you any fatter?

[tomheppy]

why didnt they drink olive oil?

[urfuckingperfecttome]

I am fat. This is because I eat too much not because I have the fat disease? I mean, I am loosing weight and it's easy. I just eat less and execise moree....

[ShinraAlchemist]

Chickens made me fat! (fried chicken, that is)

[slimbabyriderims]

That blonde doctor is amazingly beautiful

[wingwing0404]

thomas wanted to puke when eating the cream thing lol

he used to got abs but after 2 weeks its all gone lol

[TehRefinnej]

fat virus.....yet another excuse for fat assery

[siemelonoranksenamun]

they eat disgusting things

[XXUNDERCROSSXX]

if this is true... send all the fat people in america and send them to africa. win win the fat people loose weight and the skinny gain wieght.

[ERASER1091988]

@XXUNDERCROSSXX Put chains on them to see them transform into rappers

[lockitkitten]

A fat virus!?! xP Come On! eat LESS mover MORE, respect the bod. it will respect you

[TimpBizkit]

Someone with a higher metabolism will be given double that and have way more spare energy intake in this particular experiment than someone who only needed say 1000kcal a day to maintain weight.

[TimpBizkit]

In this study, those with the LOWEST metabolism will gain the least weight. They were being told to DOUBLE their calories. (Unless BMR was exactly proportional to bodyweight so you conserve the % increase ratio)

[Insubordinate90]

Wow, what the fuck? Obesity is not a fucking virus, it isn't down to genetics, and it's certainly not some aspect of your body you "can't control". This entire documentary is made by some lard-arses who aren't willing to accept that it's because they keeps stuffing their faces that they're fat. You get obese by eating more food than you need, end of fucking story. Want to stop being obese? Stop eating at every chance you get. Jesus christ.

[kdbl112]

@Insubordinate90 Wow science really got u mad huh?

[alexstore1]

@Insubordinate90 Agreed, people arent born fat, im agree!??!!!!

[tuzobarca]

wtf?! fat viruses?

[pcangeldust]

Am SOOO FAT I am the reason for the moon orbiting the earth loooooooool

Why did I have to be fat :(

BASTARD GENE

[Insubordinate90]

@pcangeldust Yeah, blame it on the genetics retard.

[dtafneto]

what if the asian guy just poops it out

[1009541074brb]

the asian guy just studied it away.

[ricosuavable]

what a bunch of niggers. thumbs u if you agree

[pookoos]

Clotted cream? Oh God. At least make it ice cream dude.

[wewetheparakeet]

i knew them fat people wanted me to join the way that one guy at the train station kept looking at me

[360lolz]

I wish losing weight was as easy

[iLikeCookie88]

Uggghhhhh don't eat clotted cream from the tub! *barf*

[shug010]

really intense music,,,

[ReviewerR]

I feel soo bad for those people...hate having to be forced to eat.

[imonyourfacewoot]

I eat whatever the fuck I want and I don't ever gain weight and I'm thin. Feels good man.

[isnormalityareality]

I think the whole fat virus is lame. No one has to be fat if they curb there calorie intake to 1100-1200 a day (which is easy if you eat fruits and veggies instead of fatty foods) and exercise at least 30 min-40 min a day. That is what I do and I am 5'6 and around 122 lbs.

[pingpongaffair]

they look cuter fat. i hate skinnies. they're ugly.

[CatgirlMew]

Really theres a fat virus? wtf...

[RamZodiac]

asians have too much brain activity, burn way too much calories

[RuudyRedLips]

shit.. I think I have the chicken virus! lol

[iZenic]

GOD all the chocolates feels so fat and nasty and disgusting... THUMBS UP if u agree

[501commander]

@iZenic fuck off begging for thumbs up

[howardjumpsuit]

@501commander Let us take pleasure in his/her/its utter failure. Begging for vote ups is a lower form of self renforcement than shooting smack cooked in the hollowed out skull of an infant.

...

Thumbs up if you agree!

[Bielghs]

Yo ding dong man, ding dong; ding dong man yo. Hey man, what it is with you? The question is are you fat or what? You ain't fat! You ain't nothing!

[foxyrosedanie]

lol the music during the virus speech made it creepy -_-'

[derek8171]

carb calories, protein calories, fat cals differently processed......shitty study.......

[m10363]

@derek8171 energy is energy retard

[FancyUnicorn]

Did they get shorter too???

[095034006]

@FancyUnicorn thats what happens when you get fat :D

[Prelude2ADream]

Eating that clotted cream looked nasty

[mAjRf22]

why don't they get some bodybuilding weight gaining powder?

1000 cals per serving

[ladangelo202]

@mAjRf22 skew results

[mAjRf22]

@ladangelo202 , it is a rather good balance of carbs, 160 ish, protein, 60 ish and fat 14 ish

[TastyPepperoniPizza]

This fat virus is bullshit. I mean, really. If it really existed everyone would be fat by now.

[opmike343]

@TastyPepperoniPizza

Jesus Christ, listen to what he was saying. He didn't say, "All obesity is caused by the fat virus, it's 100% communicable and if you get it, you will become obese." Listening comprehension is your friend. He's researching one of the factors that may play a role in a certain percentage of the population. It's research, nothing definitive and published in a scientific journal.

[TastyPepperoniPizza]

@opmike343

No! I meant. If some people have the virus and it is contagious for a while then it would be spread all over the world by now. It only takes a handshake.

[Prelude2ADream]

@TastyPepperoniPizza Look around... pretty much everyone is fat :P

[TastyPepperoniPizza]

What if the virus made the people feel like crap and they didn't work out? That's a possibility

[TheGeorgevt]

Clotted cream.... ew. thats gonna go straight to his heart and give him chest pains and a heart attack haha

[gajda1984]

It's obvious that metabolism is the effect on being thinner or bigger. if i ate as much as these people are in this for a week, I'd outweigh a Volkswagon, maybe even a honda or toyota!!!!!

[Boghman22]

@gajda1984 Japanese cars are some of the lightest in regards to weight. German cars, on the other hand, tend to be heavier (e.g., BMW, M-B, VW, ect.)

[Zazmiz]

Excuse me Dr. but how can you "for ethical reasons" make experiments on animals?

You talk as if they were some kind of crap we don't need. Please infect yourself with it if you are so fucking selfish.

[Boghman22]

@Zazmiz No one does those studies anymore, dummy. Also, is it ethical to perform experiments on plants and insects?

[vk45de]

Why don't they just use an infrared camera to see the temperature difference between the subjects?

[annyomg123]

LMAFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO catching the fat virus...I should have become obesity going to America so often

[paulomoura2]

@annyomg123 HAHAHAHAH!

[luucybabes123]

@annyomg123 should have become OBESE* and no America is not that bad.

[melikeamuffin]

this video is hilarious..."people can, in fact , be fat for other reasons than viral infections" bahahaha...

[Nyanih]

WHY DO NONE OF THESE PROFESSORS SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH HOLY SHIT IT'S ANNOYING IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD YES I MAD

[dw300]

I avoid fat people just in case .. especially fat chicks. You never know what you might pick up!

[lactoseman]

didn't know paul mcartney took part in this experiment 1:07

[nosebuzz]

that swedish doctor is a ringer for moulder out of the x files!! the truth is out there yous fat fucks!!

[TheGeorgevt]

@nosebuzz Actually he looks a lot more like Stellan Skarsgård, but he does have a resemblance to mulder also.

[nosebuzz]

@TheGeorgevt sorry i almost forgot to tell you,,, fuck yourself hard in the asshole,, you cock inhaling rodent,, p.s can we still be friends?

[nosebuzz]

@TheGeorgevt you look like the back of my ballbag,,, and i can defo see the resemblance there,,, cock inhaler!! can we still be friends???

[freehappymeal]

I'm eating chicken now, hope it's safe

[GeneralX404]

So there really is an obesity epidemic?

[ByeByeBelly]

why cant they just drink olive oil? theyd only need a few tablespoons..

[99Crystals]

@ByeByeBelly I've actually read that drinking a few tablespoons of olive oil per day will make your body burn fat. The theory behind this is supposedly that your body thinks its getting so much excess fat that it doesn't store any and therefore you lose weight. . . Don't know for sure though. My friend used this technique once when she was serious about losing weight.

[PUTTHEGUNDOWNNOW]

@99Crystals

dont do it you will significantly increase your chance of getting diabetes

google how to become a diabetic in 6 hours

watch?v=_42LfH8veEU&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

[shcnoozlebop]

i'm moving to south korea. they're fanatic about staying slender. a guy once had a korean student who gained a bit of weight in the uk, when she went home for a visit he found out her mum had locked her in the house for 6 weeks until she lost the weight. o.O

maybe the koreans were on to something all along.. lol

[ixbleedxfire]

So basically this virus is like something out of a Resident Evil game... Welp, it's time to break out the shotguns.

[SpoiledLogic]

what the fuck is clotted cream?! ewwwwwww

[MzVixen05]

this is astounding

[St0RM33]

no it's wrong. food goes in and comes out as *hit. If your body doesn't need the extra food it will throw it away even after you ate it. This scientists are junk. They should measure exactly what goes in and what comes out.

[smoothbanana]

@St0RM33

Don't discount the billions of microbes inside us that metabolise macronutrients as well, i.e. you should also measure the, um... gas

[anshulkamboj]

thats true i feel very warm and i m so skinny

[anshulkamboj]

i cant eat much

[VirtuesPenumbra]

Some of these guys actually look healthier now.

[smoothbanana]

@VirtuesPenumbra

Fat helps to stabilise cell membranes

[misscockycunt]

I wish I was asian.

[smoothbanana]

@misscockycunt

You could start by eating like an Asian I suppose

[NatetheLB]

man, there are just so many factors affeting this study to make it actually credible, how did they choose test trial volunteers? exatly what kind of food they eat to get the calrioes, could be the type of food, or type of body with specific food or activity levels (btw are they watched at all times? and how do they live normal lives while in the experiment, guy studying for exams?? ya right) and when do they have time to eat if always doing experiments on camera? howd they get the money tofund?

[smoothbanana]

@NatetheLB

It's a somewhat enlightening experiment considering the ethics behind it. I think you're asking all the wrong questions yet expecting a simple answer. I suppose you could say that everything makes you fat... the most important thing is knowing which things make the most difference. At the very least, this experiment just goes to show that just because you look thin, doesn't mean that you aren't "fat". After all, it's the health risk of being fat that's the real problem...

[lin2k4]

I think I can't gain weight because calories will just zoom through my body. Seriously, it feels like my body is just shitting it out without even processing it.

[MrAssassinful]

@lin2k4 just eat more.

[smoothbanana]

@lin2k4

It probably is

[Youtomia]

It's so typical for the Asian guy to be failing at gaining weight. XD

[smoothbanana]

@Youtomia

Yes, but I wonder what would happen in the long run? The body has a remarkable ability to adapt... I don't see why he would not eventually learn to efficiently store fat eventually...

[danthehunter224]

@Youtomia no it's not, he's suppose to be getting an A+

[DerekBurn]

@Youtomia Sumo wrestlers must have a hard job then.

[howardjumpsuit]

@Youtomia Yeah stupid Sumo culture that never got of the ground because of its genetic impracticalities and most certainly hasn't existed for all or recorded Japanese history or at least since the 16th century in its current form. Heh heh yeah asians are thin. BAM.  Reduction ad absurdiumed!

[howardjumpsuit]

@howardjumpsuit latin/typing fail :(

[BlueReishiMan]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh run from fat people!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! I always knew it

[PS3UltimateUK]

fat people get away from me *brakes window and jumps into a river* you will never get me

[LethalSystem]

anybody else WANT this fat virus?

[lonewolf604]

Fat virus? Give me a fucking break. Eat less and exercise, fatty. 

[PokInfinity]

Yep I'm avoiding fat people. I don't want to get the fat virus.

[shorts]

fat infection oh boy

[vichiousfishes]

Thomas is so cute, even as a fatass.

[dasherdancer1]

What was going on with the fading in and out for the sound?

[MrAudacia]

what if there just shitting what there body doesnt need out?? why do they have to be burning the calories?

[khennessy785]

Seems like it would be pretty easy to hit your caloric goals by drinking Coke or Sprite or what have you. Coke doesn't fill you up and has a lot of salt and caffeine in it so you can keep drinking it because you keep getting thirsty again afterward, and its empty calories. You could easily pound multiple 2 liters of coke a day at 800 calories a piece!

[djletterbox]

That chicken virus thing sounds like total bullshit. If there were any validity to it, the study would have been peer reviewed and repeated over and over again in the news.

[anneekellogg]

Im not fat, I just have the chicken virus

[MountainQueen]

omg im never eating chicken again lmao

[playerthe2nd]

Why werent there any black volunteers?

[kellbell6543]

isnt clotted cream like butter or something? why is he eating it straight up?

[Tammc09]

@kellbell6543 It's sweet.

[kellbell6543]

@Tammc09 oh. i looked it up and it made it sound like butter. haha that makes a lot more sense now :)

[gnatpat]

@senseijamie - of course it's not going to be a proper scientific experiment - it was made to make good TV.

[senseijamie]

They are not controlling for the types of food being consumed (macronutrient ratios). This experience is useless.

[theyamahacoolman]

Asian ancestors eat a lot, I think they live to eat rather than eat to live. =P

[Nickdude43]

Finished! :D

(...not really)

Almost finished... :(

[educassiano]

They didn't experiment on dark skined people.

[traceymallard]

asians are very much obsessed with being skinny. it is not about diet with them its about how theyre culture finds fat to be disgusting where the general public will not aliow overeating as a way of life it's considered to be disrespectful to your body to be fat. But some asians think that a eating disorder is a form of weakness and best not discussed. Asia is very weight obssessed go to hong kong and you 'll see all kinds of ads for weight loss, even for children...

[iampeekay]

@traceymallard because in asia if you r fat they just dont take you seriously, at work or at anything.

This is especially for women, and some people are not polite about it! Asian women can be very very vain, scared of ageing as well and spend alot of money on beauty treatments, plastic surgery, slimming treatments and is the norm, in comparison to western women.

I know because I'm overweight by a few kilos and pretty tall for an asian.

[ChibiMiddleFinger]

@iampeekay The same kind of thing happens in America, too. It's not just Asia.

The reason people in asian countries tend to be skinnier is because the traditional diet in these countries is WAY healthier than the typical Western diet. China, for example, didn't used to have an obesity problem. After fast food companies began to set up resteraunts in China, obesity became more and more of a problem. Bottom line: It's diet, not genes.

[alex9734]

2 people who watched this vid must be really fat!

[allude8]

that clotted cream was it.

[Dman761]

looks like thomas shrunk as well. Does that mean you get shorter as you gain weight?

[brendaeileen]

@Dman761 i dunno but since I became skinnier I feel a bit taller, prolly less weight on spinal column

[Violka1987]

OMFG so you can get infected by ''fat virus''????

o_O

[laura000883]

HOLY SHIT! the chicken virus thing is scary as hell!!!!!

[pitapants]

ddamn that blonde researcher has lovely cleavage

[pitapants]

ddamn that blonde researcher has lovely cleavage

[TheTurquoiseme]

im really scared of getting this fat virus now ahhhhhhhh!!!!

[zznoo]

people in countries with winters tend to be fatter since they Need the extra food to survive.. but in countries like Korea and China, the weight gain is countered by the fact that they "excercise" a lot by working their ass off to get bread onto the table

[shcnoozlebop]

@zznoo that doesn't explain australia. the problem here is people need to stop thinking a bogan lifestyle is okay, because au is apparently fatter than america, but all the fatasses are up north in the countryside, where people tend to slip into this sluggish lifestyle full of booze, a lack of self-respect and i guess not bothering to eat healthy or excercise much. i think it's disgusting... it makes the rest of us look like unpleasant slobs, too.

[esigus]

How do they know that the people who were infected with the virus, were infected "naturally?" What does "naturally" mean?

It would seem that they might have been infected from eating chicken infected with the virus.

Is that considered "naturally" or not?

I want answers so that I better understand.

Did he ask that question?

[tallyweijl1980]

when they compare before- after, the volunteers 'before' look higher oO

[853phile]

I'm avoiding fat people from now on. 2-3 months is NOT a short time.

[kockgunner]

I find it funny that you can catch a cold and suddenly become obese!

[MlgProJosh]

I love BBC documentaries :D I love documentaries in general. Love it, love it, love it. So interesting and fascinating, no matter the theme really.

[Lallar3n]

White people living in northern europe with harsh winters and little food needed to develop a bigger fatlayer to survive. Just like bears. For other people fat was just an obsticle. Fat people where killed of by wild animals in africa, china ands so on while it was the fat people who survived and carried on their genes in the colder regions.

[poopyscoopy5]

1:55 howd the camerman miss that golden downblouse. Stupid fag.

[ekgjwejfopjp]

i bet these guys are really stopping up some toilets now!

[fushadragon]

Now im going to be paraniod around fat ppl but i live in south texas everyone is fat

[stephie5290]

avoid the fattys!!!

[3DOBot]

The heavier they get, the more attractive, (in my honest opinion). They were too skinny for me at the very start. But to be fair, too small is just as bad as too big.

[yeoboseyo]

Today, I think might've caught the fattening virus. FML.

[vouyerite]

Denny Crane was right. He's NOT crazy. There is a fat gene AND virus.

[audrey1053]

Eeerr...Man now I'm scared of fat people who got flu!!!

[LieutenantSparkles]

white people get fat easily wtf?

[azzy314159]

I know. When I start eating chocolate, I just can not stop. I am slim and refuse food when I am full. Except Chocolate. Strange. It is more than taste. I think Choc is an addiction like drugs.

[Garamiah]

@azzy314159

Chocolate calls to me

[squreshi10]

@Garamiah Me too. Chocolate tells me to burn things. :-)

[3DOBot]

@azzy314159 Well chocolate DOES have caffine.

[virgoeyes]

asian are all darn skinny!

[Aussiegirl265]

Wait why does that Thomas guy always eat half naked?

[piratesslag]

@Aussiegirl265 wait why are you complaining

[punkkimiko]

@Aussiegirl265 xD he does doesn't he?

[NurseEri]

@Aussiegirl265 are you arguing? hes cute, let him be free!
