  • 0:57 = best part lol

  • when i was a todler, my parents sent me to the clinic cause i wasnt eating and was too skinny but now im not what u consider skinny...o.O

  • Wouldn't that amount of chocolate make them sick?

  • Fortunately I have never liked chocolate or other sweets, but as a toddler, if that lady had presented a plate of chips or fries in front of me I would have "failed" her eating experiment as well. I am just hooked on savory foods, which also tend to be high-calorie.

  • 0:56 how does he not get any on his face??

  • I officially fell in love with Thomas.

  • I always ate a lot because I loved food and enjoyed eating. Now I still eat a lot but choose foods lower in calories to eat like winter squash or melons and lots of vegetables.

  • I'm literally laughing at these doctors and medical professionals. They seem to have only an elementary grasp of nutrition and body composition and made several mistakes in their study.

  • The unshaven,very impressed flat mate in the psychedelic shirt and shades looks like he may be a Super Hans (8.39).

  • people eat more then they need to, because its fucking good

  • So what shes basically saying is get yourself a coloring book and you won't crave chocolate.

  • Eat some protein bars or muscle mass shit that weight lifters use to get their calores!

  • when the guy got the cake he was like "why the hell not" -faceplant in chocolate cake-

  • stoner friend at 8:35

  • I'd be intrested in what form of gene I have. As a kid I only thought about food when I was hungry, and I'd only usually eat half of what was infront of me. As a teenager I became an emotional eater, and gained a lot of weight. I was overweight for 6 or 7 years, then slowly reverted to only being interested in food when I was hungry again, and I lost all the extra weight. Hmm..

  • ooow how cute these kids are X3

  • all this docutmentary has taught me is that i want to eat a big ass cake all to myself.

  • YUP.. I hate been skinny , People assume your sick , its even worse now that AIDS is prevalent , People assume you are unhealthy as your skinny. I am 37 now , and still remain skinny .. If another granny asks me to eat more , i am going to .... feed her till she pops... Skinny people have feelings to.....

  • A lot of it is genetic. My husband and I are thin, we have two thin biological sons. We adopted a daughter who has a problem with her weight. She gravitates toward foods that are higher in calorie like pasta and doesn't like healthier foods. She also feels the need to get seconds something we never practice in our family.

    Our sons love exercise and being active and our daughter won't exercise unless we tell her to.

  • @quiltnb YES IT IS BUT WE HUMANS ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE TO CHANGE!

  • awww the boy who pushed his plate away is sooo cute, i bet he's parents must be so proud,

  • i don't eat or snack after 4pm, i use to be 100 pounds over weight but i kept it off for 5+ years and still going. i eat like a pig and don't gain weight anymore because i quit eating after 4pm. obesity is genetic in my family,

  • Comment removed

  • I mostly eat stuff like a half hour after dinner already. I'm very thin tho.

  • Watching this is making me hungry!!!

  • I definitely belong to those who keep eating even when I feel very full when I was a kid...

  • I'm allergic to cocoa, so I don't usually eat chocolate. Maybe twice a year tops :D

    I'm feeling a little ill watching them consume all of that food. Haha

  • @LadyTeeJac lucky you I a chocoholic :C

  • thumbs up if you're eating something after watching this..........

  • the thing that i found that i can ingore being hungry. and that is a big part of not being able to put on wieght

  • Who wouldn't wanna eat all of that. Its not only free food, I'm sure they're paid for that.

    

  • I have a feeling I'd be the kid that kept on eating the chocolate D:

  • dolido

  • the kids r so cute 

  • The experiment with 4-5 year-old children was ludicrous. The confounding variable was the COMPOSITION of the second course. It was mainly SUGAR for Pete's sake,and thus you have no way of knowing if it was a failure of some homeostatic mechanism, or sugar addiction. I hate pseudo-science! They should have placed a VARIETY of foods in front of these children, and watched how they selected the additional calories. I'll bet that NONE of them would have chosen more vegetables.

  • @karkay123 I think she explained that when a food is appealing <== people will overeat dispite being full. Trust me, I do the same thing. Also, I think we all know as individuals what foods we can stomach even though we are full if we intend to eat past the feeling of being full. Most people just have a better time of doing this when it's sweets. Just so you know, not every child likes sweets, so you are right some children may have eaten something else like potatoes if it was offered.

  • I can't stand the sight of that fucking neckbeard!

  • Win for mastadon shirt

  • PLEASE USE THE FOOD AND FEED THEM TO KIDS IN AFRICA LAR!

  • I'm watching this to get some tips on getting thin, instead I want chocolate now *droooooool*

  • Who offers up their children for this???

  • I started smelling chocolate after about 5 minutes into the video

  • HOLY SHIT 620 calories in 500 ml? LMAO that is fucking amazing

  • when i was a kid my mom told me that i HATED to eat and she had to chase me and fore feed me and i was always slightly underweight...at least i am at a normal weight now, being 5'1 and 102lbs.

  • You fat people, how can you get hungry from watching them eating loads of disgusting shit? xD Haha.

  • this documentary makes me want to eat something, not that I'm hungry, I just want to eat now :|

  • f*ck this documentary! i just got back from gym and now i want chocolate >:(

  • i hardly ate until high school age,then started eatin like a wolf for the past 11 years...nothing to do with childhood..

  • @lilnastiaaa Same here!

  • What is annoying is when you're thin and everyone around you is fat so they criticise your eating habits because heaven forbid, you eat enough to keep your body going and not stuff your face until you have to be rolled out of a place. I gained about 50 pounds and have lost most of it over the past year and already the "you're so skinny" comments have started. It's rude and reflects more about the person saying the comment than it does about the body of the person they're criticising.

  • @FredericaBimble apparenlty you didn't watch the video...

  • @FredericaBimble I knowhow that feels and it makes me feel insecure.

  • @FredericaBimble of course everything someone says reflects always more about the person saying it. he's the one choosing what to say afterall

  • @FredericaBimble yeah, fat people make everything worst.

  • They should eat Kalteen bars!

  • Those kids are using forks and knives?!? How come a child hasn't poked themselves, and then the parent sues, then All schools have to ban all pointy things

  • @sxpacks These aren't American kids DUH!

  • Thanks, know I know I'm meant to be FAT! I can eat when I'm full, as long as it is within reach.

  • i'm hungry..:P

  • This means fuck all when you are bodybuilding.

    brb 3700 calories a day.

  • Am I the only one sitting here watching this and snacking compulsively?

  • @suriname0 nope

  • @suriname0 no no you're absolutely not i am doing the exact same thing :)

  • I hate to feel full ><

  • Oh shit that meal that those kids ate is one of my fav TT with some rice.

  • But this leads to hypoglicemie.Then your body need more sugar to full the lost sugar and so on.

    THE SHOKING FACT IS THIS: OUR BODY CAN EXTRACT SUGAR FROM FAT AND PROTEIN,SO WE DO NOT NEED EXTRA SUGAR.

    MY ADVICE: EAT MEAT,EGGS,FRUITS,VEGETABLES ,NUTS AND SEEDS

    EXERCISE!

  • @ktmalex - You don't need to eat meat but the rest on your list is correct.

  • The answer to their question is so simple.The statement that people eat more than they need is incomplete . People eat more bad food than they need in order to have a good body. Just look at what the volunteers are eating: lots of carbohydrate based food.Humans do not need carbohydrate.They are unnecessary! Why do people get fat?Eating carbohydrates fills your blood vains with huge quantities of sugar .In response the pancreas secrets insulin in order to minimize the damage.

  • @ktmalex vains?

  • I really thought a fry-up would be self explanatory...

  • WTF is a fry-up?

  • @WymanHardy a scottish/british term for a plate of fried food that people have for breakfast/lunch. Things like sausage, potato scone, fried egg, beans, hash browns, black pudding and stuff.

  • I guess I just did this experiment today to myself. I just got some fudge and it was delicious but after 2 bites I felt full and a almost full bar of fudge is still sitting in my car. I guess now I'm starting to notice my eating habits and why I'm thin.

  • you know that little girl will become fat when she goes for the leftover crums

  • YEAH! Carry on eatiiiing! I'll eat you!

  • What a load of rubbish. I was highly overweight as a child and now I'm fitter than most. It's all about self control and gluttonous behaviour.

  • @Epionea

    No, that just is a lifestyle that works for you.

  • @Tait011 It is only in rare cases like a Thyroid problem where people have genuine excuses for out of control weight, the red are not special cases they simply eat too much.

  • This show makes me hungry..

  • oh god I'm so hungry!

  • I wonder what would happen if Epic Mealtime volunteered...

  • @trivea Yeah but musclesglasses isn't human

  • I ate before watching this and seeing all of this food made me want to throw up.

  • Welp, now I'm hungry.

  • How come I can't finish a plate of food at a restaurant (like if I go somewhere for lunch I have to eat a tiny dinner), but when I am at home I eat a lot?

  • Wait a minute I get it now! They are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with this "genetic" crap. I know the reason they think it is genetic. If a parent has bad eating habits she will most likely over feed her toddler, which sets them for life. So simple rule. If you are overweight and do not want your child to be overweight feed him less than YOU would eat.

  • "You can eat a chocolate bar and then eat another one before feeling full"

    LIES LIES LIES!!! I can't even finish half of a chocolate bar!

  • I disagree with all these genetic based theories. Obesity, IMO, is directly linked to environment. If you're not gonna exercise, eat shit (and plenty of it), then you'll be fat, regardless of whether or not you're 'genetically predisposed' to it.

  • @passmetheremote1 That's why people do experiments instead of just asking some guy. It's not an opinion question. Most things aren't.

  • @passmetheremote1 They didn't disagree that you get fat from eating a lot of garbage, they just suggest that your appetite has a genetic component. Wouldn't it be a useful thing if you could tell some people, "Hey, you're going to feel full after you eat and when you do, that's a good time to stop." Then you could tell other people, "Hey, you're not going to know how much to eat by feeling, you need to measure what you eat or you'll get fat." This information could give people more control.

  • i have changed my kid habbits.i used to be just the opposite person i am now.how do you explain that??

  • "thin people, y u no get fat!"

  • reminds me of epic mealtime for some reason

  • the children are SOOOOOOOOO adorable

  • This show makes me want to eat celery and carrots!

  • those little kids eating is sooo cute <3

  • omgosh the guy eating the cake is so cute! HOMG.

  • R the researchers paying for all that extra food the participants have 2 buy?

  • omg..I'm so hungry right now, lol

  • These kids are going to look back at this when they're older and the ones who ate more are going to be overweight and think "why the f*ck didn't they stop me?"

  • eh humans are such pathetic creatures. Why do they produce new ones all the time? So that they could go through the same shit as their predecessors did?

  • `i could eat the balls of tarzan, and then come back for janes tits`

  • i'd do this stoned :D id probably be still hungry xD

  • i'm exactly like the girl with the head scarf. i realise when i'm full.. but *occasionally* i'll eat something else small if it'll taste good.

  • I'd be the kid that would eat the chocolate. I've grown up around terrible eating habits, with a morbidly obese parent. Now I'm 21, I stick under 1500 calories every day to ensure I don't end up the same. Now I've settled into new, healthy habits, overeating has become a dreaded feeling rather than an everyday occurrence.

  • @GreySkies15 according to the geeks on this show, you should probably have a kid early and (if you're a guy) with a slim partner.... it would suck to have an obese parent.

  • @GreySkies15 1500 cals eh? haha good luck with that in a month or two ;)

  • i was eating chocolate whilst watching this. then felt bad. then got over it...

    

  • I never really feel like eating some days. Today, I ate 2 sandwiches. ALL DAY. Then I ate again just because I thought "I should".

  • 1100 cals for the whole chocolate cake? They should have a Dave and Busters.. a SLICE of their chocolate cake is exactly that much. Four pieces of that and that will more than double their caloric intake.

  • would have been hugely more interesting if they had conducted this study on people 35yo-or older. Skinny people who naturally manage to be skinny at middle-age and up , when metabolism halts, are more naturally obviously 'skinny' than 25 and unders who enjoy young revved-up, metabolisms.

  • i would have been the kid to have eaten my entire plate

  • they should drink high calorie protein shakes. protein shakes can contain up to 1000 cals.

  • They don't eat when they're *not* hungry?? Freaks!!!

  • Chocolate maybe calorie dense but u cant eat alot of it... I myself have lost weight eating cheese and chocolate every other day... I think that sugar should be a bigger concern

  • 5:00 I know that book I can't recall the title but I remember it been read to me and the rest of my class in play group back in 1997

    It’s about a firefly whose tale can’t light up so he uses matches instead and courses a fire as because of his foolishness

    (Three guesses what the moral of story was supposed to be lol)

  • Those kids are better than me eating with forks and spoons. Shame on me. lol.

  • When I was a kid and we'd go eat at a restaurant, at some point, my intuition told me, that this is enough food, for at least two meals, because from previous experience eating all of it, I didn't feel good afterwards. So I figured out that I would just eat half of the serving, and take the rest home in a to go box, and no one ever told me that was a problem, or that I needed to eat everything at that sitting. I recognized feedback from my body, how I felt. Over eaters probably don't.

  • @slack7639

    When I was a kid I was made to eat everything on my plate, and was given free reign of seconds and thirds if I chose.

    It's taken me quite a long time to realize that, "hey, you don't have to stuff yourself at each meal... =o"

    Guess my weight category, haha.

  • i wonder if after the experiment their eating habits, that is, their feeling of a need to constantly eat or hunger, go back to what they normally had or if they develop into the shit type of gene that makes a person want to eat more often..

  • There's nothing wrong with eating or snacking. Just don't be a lazy fuck and you'll be fine. Americans...LOL

  • @iWatchinTubes lol :)

  • 8:33 that looks extremely yummy

  • Kids can't colour for shit.

  • I feel about weed how a fat person feels about cake

  • @comeonewtf

    Weed makes me feel how a fat person feels about cake.

  • She's cute... shame she wears a headscarf

  • Eat too much chocolate and you wont be able to shit it out....

  • "They're the kind of people that don't have any desire to eat more than their body needs."

    Well, there you have it folks. That's why they're thin and not fat. Mystery solved.

  • @finniksa And yet, they eat double their normal caloric intake and hardly gain weight. And further yet, their normal caloric intake is already double the intake of what many fat people eat. I can't imagine ever eating half of what these people are eating, and I'm 6'1 with 36% body fat.

  • Please note that they said weight gains can be from as little as 7 calories extra a day. That explains why it seems like you eat the same amount as friends. It could be a matter of not being able to burn as many calories when excercising.

  • Ugh, I hardly like or eat chocolate

    I'd be there saying bread.

    Bread.

    Bread.

    Oh and

    bread. Did I say rice? Rice.

  • @Idiotsoverdose Bread, and soda... It's horrible for you :)

  • The chocolate sweet experiment isn't exactly accurate. If a child comes from a poor family and/or is taught to always finish their food and not waste a single bit, for whatever reason ("The amount of food you left could feed an African village", "Do you know that an animal died for this meal and you're wasting half of it" etc), a child will most likely eat whatever's put infront of them, like the choc in the nursery, despite the fact they would never ever snack otherwise on their own when full.

  • @ShutYourEyesAndSing LOL thats what my parents used to say.. u dont have to be poor tho lol its just about not wastinng food

  • ah i just ate a hamburger and it wasnt even big.. im full and watching this... bleh the pasta there doesnt look good ._. bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

  • these people could take in sooo many more calories if they just became alcoholics

  • 1:22

    CHOCOLATE IS DANGEROUS

  • This programme is making me so hungry!

  • all this proves is that there are genetic differences in terms of fat storage and gain/loss. of course. but everyone can change it if they choose.

  • ...I want some chocolate.

  • These kids suck at coloring.

  • @w4gn0r They're kids... Lol

    Did you expect a picasso from a fully stuffed 5 year old? xD

  • @w4gn0r they're like 2-4

  • @w4gn0r Oh please! There kids, mate. You probably "sucked" at coloring when you were their age.

  • @sinecurve9999 its a joke

    

  • @sinecurve9999

    Don't get angry because you suck just as much as they do at coloring.

  • @w4gn0r i c what u mean but thats how i used to color

  • @cottoncandyluvin its just a joke people...sheesh

    

  • At 8:30 that looks like a meal meant for three people rather than two

  • I easily get thirsty if I have a few bites of chocolate.

  • at 0:47, that chocolate is too much for me.

  • Way to make the little kids fat :(

  • grrr.... my entire family is allergic to chocolate except me

  • I just realised there are two guys with beards and long hair. XD

  • @lennic95

    Oh fuck. I didn't realize that until I read your comment! I just commented on part 3 how much I love the "Jesus dude" without realizing they're two different people! Whoops! ... Oh well, so now I have two favourite Jesus dudes :)

  • @lennic95 and one girl in the tent.

  • Oh my god, the Arab girl with the veil is so cute...too bad she's gonna get fat :(

  • I think those who are mocking what many of these doctors are saying...are the ones who love to dog and look down on fat people. They don't WANT to believe there could be an innate reason for the tendency to gain weight. They simply want to believe that fat people are nothing more than big, fat nothings. Sheesh, how sad. I'd hate to view other people like that.

  • Om nom nom

  • man i would wanna do this T.T

  • And now i want to eat the guy who ate the cake... I'm so weird.

  • @purplelilferret u r not alone :/

  • @neveraskmewhy , rapist!!! Ps. Your name fits wat your saying :D

  • I eat what these people are eating every day.

  • omg the kids r sooo adorable i wanna take one home =D

  • It is interesting seeing the change in diet from the first of these videos to this one. The people have moved from eating fatty, protein-rich foods, to CHOCOLATE (sugary foods). Calories between the foods might be the same, but obviously sugars digest easily and leave you feeling hungry for more later on, whereas the fatty protein rich foods sit there for a while, leaving you satiated.

  • I'm always eating, even when full. I usually eat more when feeling full just so i feel so full that i can't eat more to get myself to stop, but that doesn't work, yet I am a slim weight. it's strange.

  • @0000vicky0000 Then you might have a high percentage of inner body fat. And no, I'm not saying this to be a bitch or anything. Are you eating healthy foods? Exercising, drinking a lot of water? Eating small amounts often throughout the whole day? All these thing can affect your metabolism and make you appear as those people that are called "those who can eat everything and not get fat."

  • I want that gene! Give me that gene!

  • im so hungry now... damn hehehehe

    

  • You would have thought that watching them eat all this food would put you off eating. But I want to eat chocolate and ice-cream right now. I think Im going to get some ice-cream now

  • this is really interesting, im really glad i stumbled upon it :)

  • @regengy same here :)))

  • @regengy same here :)))

  • those little kids are so cute... :)
