You Are What You Eat - Amy Scribben - Part 1 of 3

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

mmm burnt frozen pizza.......

[Anie1987]

About four years ago, I completely flipped my eating habits, cut out dairy/wheat/preservatives/etc. I've been called a flexitarian, basically mainly vegetarian diet, but I do eat meat on occasion.

I also started doing yoga, walking more, and using a treadmill.

I lost 100 pounds in less than a year. And kept it off since. All about lifestyle changes.

I'm still not where I could be with my weight, I just lost 10 pounds without trying. Still about 30 to go. But if I can do it, she can too!

[AGlowingDream]

and one.....doughnut. haha.

[JennRighter]

I am by no means the weight of these participants, but I am not by definition a "thin" person. Although most people wouldn't call me fat, no one would call me thin. Yet I work out, do kickboxing, I run four days a week, hike, do weight training, pilates and yoga. I am also a vegan, eat almost no grains, I eat almost completely raw fruits and vegetables with some legumes, occasional unsweetened coconut milk etc. The assumption that thin=healthy rubs me the wrong way.

[ByeByeBelly]

Holistic nutritionist, eh? Well shes rude, categorises everyone, talks about BMI, says she should be 10 stone, makes the comment "well if you ate vegetables you wouldn't be that weight".. Im doing a degree in nutrition at a natural medicine college and thats the opposite of how Ive been taught to interact with people. I'm overweight and eat loads of vegetables and healthy food, my portions are just too big. shes ignorant.

[Beevan29]

@ByeByeBelly Yay! A smart person! .... I am also doing a Nutrition/Kinesiology double major, that woman should not be in the healthcare industry

[ByeByeBelly]

The daughter has a way worse body shape than the mum.. the mum has a very small waist in comparison

[jessicalovestheused]

Look on the back of packets people! Yeast extract = MSG. It's even in a lot of vegetarian food! I was consuming it unknowingly for a while.

[79Bobola]

At least she drinks water lol

[WaltzMooreAna]

omg she weight 7.5 stone and I weight 7.5 stone or something like that : O!

[Bulbawhore]

Pot calling kettle black? Women is a middle aged mom ,who cares if she overwieght a lil you stupid bitch.

[Beckserella]

These shows always make me so hungry!

[nasrinv]

even though i do not agree with everything gillian says i must say that i like her bluntness because most people who eat that way and are THAT overweight are in major denial about their eating habits and issues

[mlf7500]

YOur are NOT WHAT YOU EAT YOU ARE WHAT YOU ABSORB HELLO

[mrsmiawallace1979]

Gillian McKeith is the Antichrist.

[eveeveevien]

I love fries. Doesn that mean Imma potato? :\

[Jaukaaa]

20??? omfg!

[tokidokilager]

its nice to be able to pause at the food list :D

[carmel1956]

The young lady in the opening shots would be a my dream babe - I'd marry her ! Stuart.

[londonmichael]

Haha, OMG that's prob more than I eat in a whole month! 0_O

[borisnaka]

@londonmichael ur probably anorexic then

[cordi6991]

the moms voice is annoying as f*ck

[cordi6991]

i love this show and supersize vs super skinny

[Vieweracc99]

It's interesting to know that 'Dr' Gillian McKeith no longer refers to herself as such...presumably because her doctorate was from a bogus institution, and her slimming aids and pills can no longer be sold from that name...

[blueeyedartist1]

I think she's really pretty, and I love her hair and style :) I do hope she gets healthy though <3

[Memoria777]

The narrator calls her "a human dustbin"?!? Is this show on just to insult people for the amusement of others?

[Obox925]

Isn't Jenny the "Ban Big Bums" lady from SuperSize Vs. SuperSkinny? :D

[disconsolatebliss]

Amy's really pretty though.

[CassieAnnaCary]

Gawd awful...can you imagine being that young and that fat? Poor kid.

[PrincessKLS]

It's funny but this show makes me hungry.

[sparkl1nwat3r]

McKeith, McDonald, McConnor, McLachlin, McJames, McThomas...etc. The only famous Mc that I know of that is from a boy's name is Donald...McDonald's. A lot of boy's names. What about girl's? Let's see...McJenny, McVanessa, McMichelle, McAnna, Mc...? Well...don't know if these girl's names exist but haven't heard any McGirl's names that are famous yet.

[jadiejade92]

The British have the best T.V shows!!!!

[AnPeSv]

@jadiejade92 "Localized versions of You Are What You Eat were produced by Viasat and aired in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Viasat was the first company in the world to adapt the format locally"

[InspectorMontelbano1]

@jadiejade92 I totally agree, British documentaries are always well produced and informative.

[Theiasember]

The daughter is ridiculous. The mother is in denial..Mckeith is just annoying as all hell.

[Caitlinj1991]

Holy crap O_O her waist is 47 inches - that's 20 inches larger than mine... That said, once she loses the weight, I think Amy will be quite beautiful :)

[beautystarr0]

"man size portions" ughh.... I fucking hate this show. Also, I LIVE with my cousin and see everything that enters her mouth and it's nowhere near what this woman eats and she's bigger than her. She also is 21 yrs old and no health problems. I pray to god everyday she loses weight but sometimes it isn't only what you eat.

[AmyJ314]

@beautystarr0 you should tell her to get her glands and thyroid checked because if theres something wrong with them its very hard to lose and keep off weight.

[KelanX]

Thumbs up if you came here because of the BBW... no? just me? shit...

[shortyzan]

You don't have to blame it on PMT, IF Mckeith came into my house I'd throw a table at her hormones or not.

[Tsoma1]

"I know what I am but for my mom to think I'm overweight and calling up Jillian hurts my feelings"?????? WOOOWWW Amy needs a reality check, her mom is giving her help becuase her mom doesnt "think" shes fat, but she KNOWS she's fat. Fat people just need to let go of denial and just deal with the fact that other people see them as being fat also.

[RealMusicLifeStyle]

@Tsoma1 if this chick cant see shes fat shes got a mental deficiency... your mom's doing you a favor you spoiled brat.

[marsupilame134679]

It's all mcdonalds fault

[andreacvdo44]

it is her mom faulth



[atthisvolume]

PCOS isn't that bad. I've had it for years and I've got it mostly under control. With proper medical supervision you can help your body get back in working order.

[Roo1920]

i have Polycystic ovarian syndrome, and let me tell ya...its HELLISH. there obviously are conditions that are far worse, but speaking as a fellow sufferer PCOS as it is known is awful. so it will be interesting to see how Gillian helps this girl :)

[lulujv]

Omg how can they eat all that? I'd be way way way way way too FULL UP! Good luck on losing weight. It is extremely hard even when you only want to lose 1 stone like me.

[ninilein1505]

Its really is the mums fault for bringing her daughter up like this!

and yeah i also think the speaker is rude

[debidebs1]

like the mothers got her belly button pierced u know eeesshh..... "what about human dustbin daughter amy?" :O that commentator is rude!!!... and funny reminds me of the one that does come dine with me.....

[salemgirl123]

ewww>_< im sorry but the mom should.. not... wear... a bikini....O_O

[Eeveefan100]

wow im remember when i was heavy only 188lb but it took me almost 2 years to lose it. the one thing i have is willpower never give up something that is hard

[ecw2wwf2wwe]

@Eeveefan100 stop making up a story just to sound interesting :)

[1775LostOne]

You know I was like that weight, but I worked hard and have lost a lot of weight! And I did not really change diet! Just watch portion size.

[2edsajdmsa]

OMG, I'd punch my mother in the face if she pulled this on me. Jesus Christ, not cool

[2edsajdmsa]

God how could anyone like this shrew Gillian McKeith?

[AvailabilityNow]

So what happens to all that food at 5:50? Does the film cast eat it or do they just throw it all away?

[NGstalagmite]

DONT MISS NEWSNIGHT, FRIDAY AT 10pm on BBC AMERICA.

just thought i would remind you whilst you scan the comments 

[Soulfulmojomusic]

I only watched this because I hate that wet fish jillian

[tunzi]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken

better yet go to fertilityties .their are doctors who answer questions

and deal with pcos all the time .You can advise them of your medical opinion!

Of course they won't agree with you but I am sure their medical education is worst less then yours!

[tunzi]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken

NO! PCOS is not caused when your fat !!!! PCOS is insulin deficiency !

WHen your born with it you have it and their is no cure! If you google it so much info comes up on it .TO think every fat person has PCOS ..your dead wrong !

Their is also thin cysters as well .Your body does not manage sugars well .

I know I have PCOS and I AM not fat .You have to know how to eat !!!!

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

@tunzi Well i have pcos and i KNOW for me it was caused by being over weight (my dr and endo agree) and years of being over weight lead my pancreas to not function 100% hence the high insulin which caused the pcos and i guess its just badluck if your skinny, thankfully with weightloss my symtoms are getting better

[tunzi]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken

PCOs is NOT THE CAUSE OF BEING OVERweIGHT.YO CAN ASK YOUR HEALTH PROFESSION! I your overweight though it can raise the symptoms more.

If you redearch you will find out people with PCOS have many sy[toms but being overweight heightens what you have. YOu always have PCOS but weight control helps! Their is a website called soulcysters .You can go and advise people that fat is what causes PCOS and see what they say

[MrLordwells]

'I just want to get on top of it' lol.

Its well known that measuring somones waist tells you if youone is going to have an MI

[MrLordwells]

'I just want to get on top of it' lol.

[zarate760]

i wish i didnt get my period!!

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

@zarate760 trust me you shoud be thankful to get your period, means you can have children

[tunzi]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken just to let you know I have two friends with PCOS from work..They don't have period but they went through fertility treatment one has a boy the other a boy and girl who are twins.PCOS does not mean you can't have kids.!!!! best thing I can suggest is a Vegan lifestyle but I know that is hard for many to accept....how do I know !?? because I did not ovulate ! even as a skinny chick till I changed to vegan. Good luck!

[salemgirl123]

@zarate760 um....shut up. some women wish they could have a period if its becuz of the cramps. get pain killers. or go on the pill. but don't ever.. EVER wish you didnt get your period.. friging ridiculous

[zarate760]

@salemgirl123

yes i definitely wish i didn't get my period

[debidebs1]

@salemgirl123 sooo true, you tell them

[zoeyh100]

i hate gillian shes sooo igorent and annoyin

[thearsenalforever1]

The sound is poor...

[WhisperzIshBored]

i love amy,shes nice and cute ^^

[jessicaR4bbit]

Wow why is the volume so low... I have my pc volume and the video's up full blast and still can't hear anything :/

[HSM3gabby]

giallian is onn im a celebrity 2010

[afay]

"human-dustbin daughter"

[hnrksl]

If you are what you eat, then are cannibals the most human? :D

[coynie3]

this show would be better without the snobby narrator

[JessicaRabbit1011]

the godzilla music when she walks is so rude..this show is horribly judgemental.

[Mariogirl16]

So many thin people judge fat people for being fat when they have health problems of their own from doing the sam damn thinggggggggggg. This is a cultural problem, not a personal one!

[timeiswhat]

@Mariogirl16 Agreed. Or else they have other huge problems. Fat people are just unlucky that their issues are so noticeable. Everybody has shit to work through.

[futoncat]

I don't think there's life in her. Lol.

[lolitagohome1]

why people always blame their health problems ( POS), BECAUSE THEY ARE FAT?

They are fat because they eat too much junk food and they don t exercise and its not because they have polycystic ovarian syndrome !!!!!

key factor

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

@lolitagohome1 is pcos caused by being fat?

[Alana8480]

I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome too, and it does keep weight on you. I run 6 miles a day, am a strict health food nut, vegetarian, and I'm still about 50 pounds overweight. Once I got meds to cause me to have a period, I lost ten pounds in a week and I'm still losing.

[Huba588]

Wow, Amy is pretty cute :)

[WingedRagamuffin]

Imagine how much she was actually eating to get into that size at only 20.

I'm aware it was filmed a long time ago, so she must have lose some weight by now.

[misspratchettfan]

Flippin heck! I'm 5'2'' and she needs to lose ME in weight! lol

[cocowut]

Jillian is soooooooooooo mean

[adolya84]

I noticed in UK fat people are also fashionable: always their hair looks nice, they have painted nails, just a big difference from American overweight people.

[MsBranDEEE]

@adolya84 And I noticed that people love to give excuses for fat people that aren't American.

"fashionable... always keeps their hair looking nice, painted nails"? LOL.

[drearydancer]

@MsBranDEEE

I know. What an idiot.  I guess that person didn't watch the Yvonne Grant or Angela and Alison Goodall episodes of You Are What You Eat. Yeah, they look real fashionable.

[kipkayify]

@adolya84 Oh, please. Very, very nice excuse. Anything else you'd like to pull out of your ass?

[Tsoma1]

@spring4evaful a little bit of weight??? she is pretty, but a little? COME ON!!!! hahahaha

[Tsoma1]

that is sooo stupid that amy said that it HURTS when her mom nominate her. She knowns shes fat and she needs to realise that obvi her moms knows that also. PSHT it "hurts" that her mom cared enough to call in some help.

[dancinginblue]

Vegetables once a week?!!?!?!??! OMG!

[teenflight01]

@jay75 lol ha ha

[encfam]

Wait, was there a camera in the fridge? O_o

[jjay75]

I'd bang the daughter. She's not even that fat.

[TheSamisauce]

omg the mum nominates her daughter even though the mum has just as big foodproblems. what a cow!

[Froggermcfrog]

aww man...pizza should not look like that!

[virdarkruner]

have a bit of dust

[neverendingchocolate]

i know how great it is to eat and how addictive it really is but once u become overweigh u should wake up and get in control, its horrible how people neglect themselves just because they have no strength over their own actions! SAD :( but its great these people look for help, good luck to everybody like this!

[BlackPearllblogg]

I remember this episode, it use to go on swedish tv

[y0user74]

The narrator is poofy and annoying as fuck, honest.

[nummulite99]

A common story. Mum who is unhappy with herself accidentally transfers her problems onto her daughter when she is young, ruining her daughter's relationship with food for the rest of her life. Even if she does the weight, she will always have a weight problem, which is a real shame.

[NENASMOM]

What does a "stone" equal in pounds?

[jojomcrrox]

@NENASMOM 14 lbs in 1 stone

[racyweirdo]

@NENASMOM 1stone = 14 pounds

[PaperMoon2010]

@racyweirdo I wish they would stop saying "stone" and just use pounds. I hate having to try to calculate every time they give the weight out in stones. Kilograms are a bit easier because you just double it, but 14 is not an easy number to multiply in your head. A stone should be 10 pounds or just go by kilos or pounds.

[ursulalynn]

She is very cute anyway. I am glad she is deciding to get healthy!

[geniusxkiller]

If Amy lose weight she'd be hot.

[salemgirl123]

am i the only one that kinda flintched at -:36 to 0:40???????

[AlexandriaCaroll]

It would be great if you could upload all the rest of the series in the same format :)

[snorlax140]

She just has a really big belly, everything else is just small

[1996abz2007]

127 foods a week. woaaaaah you should have like 6 - 10 a day. thats like 50 a week or suttin.

[BNV83]

i love jillians brutal honesty!

[buraburayoshi]

@BNV83 but it's all out of love

[sparkl1nwat3r]

@BNV83 Sometimes, people don't realise until a kick in the butt wakes them up. Like Jillian - she's brutual but her words are so true and honest. It's a wake up call. I'd want someone to be brutual to me if their intention is kind and honest and genuine. 

[tdavies456]

Christ her mam's a real porker too....i still would though lol

[morgueparty]

I think that's the first time I've ever seen vegetables on a table like that.

[razr3g]

amy is soo cute
