Inside Brookhaven Obesity Clinic (Episode 1, Pt. 1/5)

[chronomax1]

Im not one to talk..but some of these people refuse to be honest with themselves and others. A person Is not going to be 500 plus lbs while eating a normal diet. It takes massive amounts a food to reach those weights. Proof??? once they start eating a normal low calorie/ fat diet...they loose weight. Quite simple actually...not easy...but simple to understand.

[KevinPatrickCarey]

bawrheeeeeeeetooooss lol

[mrbrandon71]

I am sooooooooooo grateful that my weigh loss has been exciting and fun! I changed almost everything I ate immediately....and began working out......and it is painful and uncomfortable and the sweating is just a nasty mess! I LOVE IT!!! Treadmilling and weights are a way of life for me now, and I will NEVER go back to the hell on earth of not being able to fit in a full size truck or a Lincoln Town Car! MISERABLE AND DISGUSTING!

[fushadragon]

Why do so many fat obese ppl say they dont eat alot most of thrm obviously do

[DJPuffChronic1]

his metabolism is horrible BECAUSE he's overweight

[Mocherie123]

@defyinggravity99

I am sorry but I really cannot understand why people take it thát far. I understand it if you like it or something, but taking it thát far is really unbelievable.

On the moment they saw it got out of hand because they were keep gaining weight, they should have gone immediatly towards a dietician or something.. Why were they waiting soooo long????

[theanimaladvocate]

this is almost unwatchable but i'm watching it because i can't find it anywhere else-the quality SUCKS

[redneck500]

Look, i weight around 500 lbs, and I will never sit here and tell anyone that its genes or my parents or any of that that got me this overweight. What got me this overweight was eating 2 foot long subs at one time or a XL papa johns pizza or 3 or 4 double cheeseburgers from McDonalds at one sitting. So for Bill's wife to say that he gained the weight and its not because he was over eating, that's a total false. The first step to curing yourself is understanding there is a problem.

[ThreeDotsRome]

@redneck500 if u know what the problem is then u know what the solution is i know it may be easier said then done but you have to @least get started on making ur quality of life better

[redneck500]

@ThreeDotsRome Agreed!

[sstarsfalon]

god i love how obese people blame their size on genetics and metabolism. no you intake way more calories then you burn. simple fact. you would be thinner if you ate that one hamburger and excersized.

[DragonFly122]

Everyone's blaming their genes for their mega-super-morbid obesity. 6:55 is pure horseshit! If you keep blaming your genes, you'll never fit into your jeans. It's their own damn fault they got like this.

[loadquicker]

Poor lady. I hope they become fit and healthy and lead long lives.

[Krysta52]

o and is excuse for getting obese is not a good one... it juss makes me mad that people beat around the bush.. tell it like it is... if ur lazy then say it... if u eat alot then say it... dont say" bc of my job i had to eat whenever i could" .... im srry if i offend ne one but it makes me mad...

[Krysta52]

ywould someone sit in a nursing home for a year,... instead of being with his family.... i wonder what his excuse is... im not trying to b mean but alot of the morbidly obese people say itz there parents or itz how they were raised... omg... ur an adult... u make ur own decisions... u choose to eat burgers and other greasy stuff....like today i choose to eat at mcdonalds.... and it was good.... wrong but good.... and if he cantmove he should start working on that like a little bit can go far

[albstralian]

exactlyyyy.

when i was a kid i was overweight, and that really WAS my parents fault for not encouraging a healthier lifestyle... however as i grew older into a teenager and adult i realised myself- "hey, this aint right!!" and got myself into shape with the help of nobody!! these people are only making excuses =.= i feel sorry for them, maybe not every1 is strong enough mentally to get fit, but still... they can at least stop making excuses... geez

[melollylolly]

I apologize for the above comment--i actually have sympathy for people with weight problems--because although i am not considered morbidly obese--i have to watch what i eat--to stay a certain clothing size

[melollylolly]

and then he became a disgusting fatbody

[redneck500]

I wish his wife would stop diluting herself about his eating habits. I weigh 525 lbs, and I know its because of my own overeating. There comes a time when in order to get better you have to take responsibility and have a desire to improve yourself.

[spawnhell809334]

fuck u

[diabolusdc]

I guess you hit upon a significant point, the family element, I have a small amount of extra weight but it does get in the way of my sporting activities, yet my family insist on leaving a regular supply of unhealthy things in my office. My brothers wife lost about 100lb. He changed his eating habits too, though he had no weight to lose. Anything not part of the plan was out of the house. DC

[redneck500]

ya you gotta toss all the nasty food out of the house, but then its still hard cause I have done that, but i still find myself going down to Steak & Shake for the 32oz happy hour milk shake :(

[ginastarke2]

@redneck500 with a decent whey protein powder ( I like scivation) and some sugarfree syrups like davinci- you can make your own milkshakes that are around 200 ( hey I add things like fish oil, coconut, or nut butters) vs 1800 for a conventional milk shake! I live on those.

Also instant coffee/espresso is a great mix in

[evilfelicia1]

Sooooo . . . when are YOU going to turn your personal responsibility for your exorbitant weight into eating right and exercising?

[redneck500]

No offense or anything, but what do you care?

[evilfelicia1]

The real question is why wouldn't I care? A dear friend of mine was 320 lbs. (and 5'6", I might add) in February of last year and is now at 220. He's been eating right and exercising everyday but Sunday since the beginning of last summer, religiously. I'm not fat but he's inspired me and a lot of the people I know because even with a pronounced limp due to a botched surgery, he STILL has managed to lose almost 101 pounds and counting. I know EVERYONE can do it now. How bad do YOU want it?

[bizzzybee]

GMAFB! the desk job got him fat! I guess all of that food had nothing to do with it!

[jrjvalo]

where can i see episode 3?

[oldbag699]

i dont understand at what point an obese person says jeez if i dont do something im going to not be able to get outta bed and my wife/children are going to have to wipe my ass cause i cant do it for myself what person would say jeez im so fat i cant do anything for myself and totally going to be dependent on someone else for everything ?? who feeds these ppl who areunable to get outta bed that junk food that makes them get bigger - those ppl need to be charged with abuse

[privatepigg]

I have no sympathy for worthless people that overeat, require other people to wait on them, and can do nothing for themselves, all because they are just extremely lazy. Let's face it: to get this obese you have to be extremely lazy. I know some lazy fatties, and not even they can get this fat if they tried.

[oldbag699]

these are ppl who will not try and that guy who said he had to do the fitness test he didnt even try - obese ppl will use any excuse or blame anybody except their own failure to lose weight  and their own weight

[kruseman44]

just take some thyroid fatasses

[seannnn2006]

take some thyroid? the thyroid is a human organ that regultes the metabolism...how can u "take" it??

[imaginatum]

I think kruseman44 meant "thyreoid hormone pills"...;)

____

Though it's not funny I do agree))

[BatALash]

Dude, your camera sucks.

[littlebonogo]

I like to do pilates and yoga while watching these shows. Is that weird?

[ninjaxkagexsaiyuri]

i do the same, so maybe we're both wierd. ^ ^

[littlebonogo]

or... maybe we're super awesome *high-5*

[ninjaxkagexsaiyuri]

definately! i started doing that when the biggest loser came on. it just seemed way natural to do yoga to bob harper's voice. i <3 him! then, it was for all shows that focused on health and weight.

[BigBoomer231]

food is  lol

[DegrassiGirl4]

Ever see super size me?

[candyperfumegirl69]

Why the he double hockey sticks cant they make giant MRI machines and actually help these people this is BS! Instead they allow

giant tumors and blockages to continue to grow on these people! @$#% @%*&7! Get this taken care of first people! Then the rest will come! I'm sure they will sign a waver releasing the dr from responsibility! Where are the qualified Dr's who care?????

[olbleo]

rolfrolfrolrorlf.rorflfflrofl

[selection1979]

bills wife no skinny minny....god they massive ..wtf goes on?everyone getting porky

[DragonFly122]

@selection1979 it's a family disease. 2:18-48 says it all.

[johncfl]

They should use NLP and/or hypnosis??? Try working with Paul McKenna!

[superiorANA]

the doctor is good looking.

why are these people not prescribed diet pills before it gets to this point??

[Jayjen35]

Very often diet pills can have very bad effects on people whose hearts are already over-taxed, or whose medications may react badly with them.

[superiorANA]

i realise at this point the diet pills wouldnt be a good idea but i mean before they get to that point. like at 30% overweight they should have been rx'd them and maybe they would have never gotton this far?

[Jayjen35]

There a lot of reasons for that. Other health problems may have presented themselves before the patients became super morbidly obese, so they weren't allowed to take diet pills. Or often people who are gaining weight don't face the reality of it until they are forced to by health problems.

Or perhaps what is all too often true, they have used diet pills only to either not lose any weight or gain it all back plus a lot more.

The doctor is right. It is about addiction.

[Jayjen35]

If they don't deal with the addiction in some way, they'll just keep going up and down in weight, or they won't lose at all.

[hairstyleriioohhh]

thanks!!!

[BayAreaBiker2001]

When I was in high school, someone called me "tubbalard". Another told me my stomach is going to go "kaboom". Another asked me if I'm pregnant.

[intentionalsound]

that must really suck. I'm addicted to overeating too, I'm trying to cut it out. But I'm skinny, I don't get it. I don't think people can get obese from just eating lots. I think it's a combination between overeating and being unlucky with your metabolism.

[dr1345]

when you get older you will catch up eventually. just give it time. i was thin as as a stick and ate all i wanted. guess what i got overweight. but i realised it soon enough cause my bp went up and now i'm loosing weight. down from 210lb to 170lb in 2 months. age is on your side!

[mfranck1]

40lb loss in two months is NOT healthy! That's insane and your body cannot healthfully adapt to that much loss so quickly. Were you using drugs? It's impossibly to loe that much, so quickly, without using a drug/s of some sort. - NOT healthy and not good role modeling for over weight people.

[dr1345]

why it is not healthy? could you explain? I was doing a lot of otdoor sports in summer but no drugs whatsoever. what kind of side effects will I be having?

[imaginatum]

first of all, it gives a great risk to your heart system...Though, if someone is severely obese he will get the greater risk of a heart attack being in his current weight...so it's not so traumatic to drop weight so rapidly when you are obese..as well as quickly gaining weight being seriously underweight...

[dr1345]

what about libido. if you underweight could it diminish?

[imaginatum]

yes, it can because of the hormonal changes.

[MrAdribear]

thats bullshit

[pookoos]

Yeah, be careful with that. I ate incredible amounts of food between ages 15 and 29. Didn't catch up with me until age 30. Your body will eventually become resistent to insulin from having too much food at once, your brain will require gross overeating eventually in order for you to feel at all happy. Believe me, you're setting your body up for complex chemical problems that will make you and keep you obese. Strive for balance now before you have a huge mess to sort out.

[XoXoRebeccaXoXo]

Thank you very much for uploading this!

[ConnieDobbs]

Am I missing something here?

He was too fat to pass the agility test to get into the police...so he took a desk job...and this desk job - which he wouldn't have had to take if he hadn't been so fat already - was what made him fat...uh - mom?!!?? HELLO!!

[ConnieDobbs]

I smoke 60 cigs a day, drink a litre of vodka, and shoot a quarter gram of smack a day...I can't help it, though, cos it's an addiction...

It's not MY fault. I can't do anything to improve my situation. Please feel sorry for me...Boofukinhoo

[peripari]

I don't get why you got so many thumbs down. It ultimately is the "victim's" fault for their condition...

[teeteemurphy]

food is a addiction just like anything eles, buying to many clothes and spending all your money is also addiction,there are so many addictions out there. they cant help it.i just hope they get alot of help, i wonder if there is a pill out there that can help them

[hobopocalypse]

Listen i don't doubt genetics have a lot to do with it, but to not put any blame on the individual??. MSG excuse is nonsense, they eat it in asia all the time. I don't blame childhood obesity on the child tho, that is the parents fault.

[plaurikainen]

Google food addiction if you're really interested. It's actually pretty interesting. I wonder if you'd say the same about alcoholism? I personally think it's an addiction like other addictions on a physical and psychological level. I understand your thinking though. I think the majority of people would think alike w/ you. But I also think theres a lot or misunderstanding and about cumpulsive eating.

[hobopocalypse]

look. Alcoholism is a person's choice too. I smoke cigarettes. it's a terrible nasty disgusting habit that wastes money and will definitely shorten my life unless i'm lucky. But no one is to blame but me.  Personal accountability...f the hype.

[hobopocalypse]

at the same time knowing that i will probably be a life smoker, i try to limit myself. I've cut back significantly by not smoking on the weekdays. so i'm not the most healthy, but not the worst either.

[mfranck1]

If you can contol it M-F there is no reason you cannot extend that to the weekends also. You DO have the control and will power, you've already proven that to yourself. Now just take it all the way.... You CAN do it.

[hobopocalypse]

Listen i don't doubt genetics have a lot to do with it, but to not put any blame on the individual??. MSG excuse is nonsense, they eat it in asia all the time. I don't blame childhood obesity on the child tho, that is the parents fault.

[hobopocalypse]

[DefyingGravity99]

"stop bullshiting about the system and society, this shit is those people's their own fault "

Okay, so even if it isn't the "system" and "society", there are also chemicals in food added to increase hunger.

Research MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)... this is one of the biggest culprits!

[mfranck1]

... cause Asian people are so LARGE... *snicker*

[itislorraine]

wtf. At least in Asia, we're not fucking fat as america's.

[redneck500]

thats not a very nice thing to say.

[nowysacz]

stop bullshiting about the system and society, this shit is those people's their own fault

[smurfp4444]

Obesity is a Byproduct. Please view Obesity Thunder Bay.

Thanks Paul

[TRIPLE333THREAT]

I hate it when people film their televsion set.

[DefyingGravity99]

It must be even harder when there's nobody to set an example for you other than stick thin Hollywood celebrities. They want to look like that so quickly that they end up giving up on the diet early, and gain back extra weight!

Here's a tip for anyone wanting to lose weight, in fact, it's like cheating. Drink ice cold water, so your body has to warm it up and burn calories. Also, walk at least half an hour per day.

[DefyingGravity99]

People please! MANY of you don't know what it's like to be obese! It is one of the hardest things you'll ever face!

I was once 5'11 and 260 pounds. I am now 200 pounds. It took me over a year to get this far, and it's just suffering.

Eating junk food puts you in heaven. Some people just don't know any better. It's a lifestyle change that takes time, and some people just can't make it on their own.

[Hraggleblarg]

@DefyingGravity99

Congrats on your success.

[Adsnell2004]

congrats you made the worst movie of all time.

and who could let their kids clean her...fucking gross....fat people should die

[HerbalProductions]

Or I could come slit your fucking throat, that sounds way better to me. It's people like you that make it so hard for fat people. I dare you to give me your information i fucking dare you

[pascale5564]

stop moving the camera!

[DMFL68]

You can't judge anyone especially if you have NOT been with it.The obese is not mental. It is the problem with thymus and hypothalamus gland. Not because we are hippos and we stink and suck. The ones that are a dirty fly is those that judge and think they r better than all. We all know what flies like.I am 315 and disabled but I sure as hell take care of my parents.I thank goodness for Robert Kolman. He just needs security to keep food out.

[MarieChristineT]

"Brookhaven could be much more successful if they would put these people in cages and and let them languish in their own waste"

you disgust me. all these pole have a problem! do you understand that. at least they are trying to loose wieght by goign to this clinic. i seriously can't believe your comment. Balldez, you are a horribly disgusting person. everyone who agrees with this person, is also ignorant and disrespectful.

[stupidblond428a]

Sorry. You are right. Atleast these people are making an effort. You should have seen this one person though on the show. He was so big, Brookhaven had to get a $2,000 custom made wheel chair for him and widen his doorway. And all the guy did was be mean to Brookhaven and the people that were taking care of him.

[Balldez]

They are disgusting! They are ungrateful. Let them eat themselves to death.

[techdeckdude247]

fuck u u cock sucking bitch my dad iz fat and i dont give a god dam fuck so u should stop talkin before i slap ur face upside down fagit

[techdeckdude247]

hey man realax

[andynuts12345]

fat waste of spaces letting themselves get like that, let em all die. And b4 you all say dont be cruel, i'm terminally ill with a dilated cardiomyopathy and know exactly how precious life is, if they want to just sit on their fat arses and eat themselves to death like dumb animals then good riddance to them.

[HerbalProductions]

I'll fucking kill you bitch

[stupidblond428a]

I saw this. I think it is good that they made the program, but it is stupid how they let them cheat and get fast food. BUT Brook Haven supplies AWFUL food! It is nasty (of what I saw).

[Balldez]

Absolutely! Brookhaven could be much more successful if they would put these people in cages and and let them languish in their own waste. When the odor get too offensive hose them down with a disinfectant. Make them wipe each other's fat asses.

[Balldez]

These beef bags are disgusting. Lock them in a cell and feed them the right amount of food. If they complain slap them!

[stupidblond428a]

You know, even thought your comment is rude and disturbing, it is true. I think when people get like that, you just need to slap them into shape and give them the correct portions. I mean FOR GOD SAKE, it isnt that hard ot join a diet program. And they claim "They have tried all of them"

[Balldez]

I am so frustrate with the political correctness and this fear of hurting people's feeling. These fat bastards are dying. They need to be told in no uncertain terms that they are shameless gluttons. They need to be told that until it sinks in. If they don't like they can go off some place and die.

[stupidblond428a]

I wouldnt put it that way....lol But I think they really need to seek help. Sometimes I am embarassed to live in this country. Thank god Im from Norway!!

[Balldez]

I am disgusted by my country. We elected Bush TWICE!

Our national symbol is an eagle but I think it should be a pig!

[stupidblond428a]

LOL!!! U know what I think is funny, is how people made fun of me in school when i use to say Kerry should win. And they would say Kerry is stupid. Now I am the one laughing! XD

[Rotiki1]

You're an asshole! My best friend weighed 220lbs and was bullied so harshly by insensitive and judgemental people that she became anorexic! She died 4 years ago of anorexia. She watched stupid videos making fun of fat people which (although it wasn't the total cause of her obsession with weight) was a major contributor to her depression and her self-loathing. Don't think for one minute that the negative insulting words don't affect people in extremely detrimental ways

[Balldez]

Quit lying fatty! Eat a shit pie. MMMMMMMMMMMM

[Rotiki1]

Yeah, it can't possibly be the truth because if it was you'd have to admit that what I just wrote actually made you feel bad didn't it? It's ok to admit that don't be afraid - it would prove that there's more to you than anger, hatred, and bullying...

[DMFL68]

You are just a dirty fly. We all know what you like.

[Allensmackerman]

It's hard accepting that ANOREXIA KILLS, isn't it?

[MarieChristineT]

i am very sorry to hear abotu your friend. i agree with you, it is wrong to make fun of these people. it makes me sad how cruel everyone can be.

[Rotiki1]

Thanks. It has made me particularly sensitive about this subject. Unless someone has been opressed like these people have, they can't possibly know what it feels like.

Yes, for the sake of their own health, they do need to lose the excess weight, but making fun of them and calling them names actually makes them feel worse which makes their situation worse. Just like an alcoholic - they need support and guidance to combat their vice and negativity only makes it harder to fight to addiction.

[Rotiki1]

Baldez, are you ok? I get this feeling that you are struggling with your own sense of self-worth. When people speak so adamantly about these subjects there tends to be something within that person that is harboring resentment towards the subject or moreover, towards themselves. If you need to talk about it, please feel free to contact me.

[Rotiki1]

what do you suggest we do about the anorexics? same thing? lock them in room and force-feed them? you seem to refer to people who are fat as a result of overeating. Guess what? that's the opposite of anorexia - but both types of people feel the same about what they look like and want to change but their disorder makes it much easier than simly following a diet plan.

[eastridinfili]

silent hill..anyway i saw this show once and i was like whoa man, the ep i saw was when a guy had a huge tumor in his leg to his foot

[DMFL68]

Recent one on Brookhaven. A guy weighed 896 & in 2002 weighed 2100 & then they had a man weighed 800 & was on oxy 24/7.sad b/c that one guy didn't get out of bed nor could he change his under diaper & they had changed it every 2 days.They ate 20,000 cals a day. People like that need support, love not a label.can't sit & judge.who died? Thanks, Davey

[Hannakruza]

thanks for posting this

[skruttis07]

fat people also pay tax and all human needs love and recpect dont forget that!

[Balldez]

Who pays for these beef bag's care?

[peanutnozone]

encore!

bravissimo!

par execellence!

[ordealbyfire]

stop with the fking clicking it's driving me NUTS.

[pookoos]

Any chance of getting more of these? I live internationally and we don't get the show here. I'd like to see how everything turns out for everyone. I don't mind the weird tv thing :)

[mountainsandvalleys]

Oh, really? That's so sad. :(

[masterOFpuppets06]

its like watching the TV on my computer lol

[mountainsandvalleys]

Pretty much. Haha.

[sorbet87]

wierdly enough I saw the UK showing of this, i.e. they used the same footage but with a different narrator. They also introduced an English nurse and man who had recieved a gastric bypass at the end of the show for their opinions. Interesting to see the US original, thanks!

[KungFu17]

omg why is it so messed up at the beginning? haha just kidding...i'm very bored. thanks for the video. also, it's sad that the families are so enabling...if people didn't do basic stuff for their family member, that person wouldn't be able to get so large they can't move, etc...someone must have "helped" him get so big...seriously.

[JayZoop]

I have a desk job. I'm not 700lbs. It's hereditary or he just eats way too much.

[happyquails]

it's called a $29 video capture card

[whysoblind]

thats some sweet shit thanks for the video

[baggerty]

great show
