When diets go wrong Part 1

The occasional documentary strand of "When something-something Goes Wrong" is back for another bite on BBC3. This time around it's actress Mikyla Dodd of Hollyoaks fame who takes a look at what can and does go wrong when people try diets that aren't made up of eating healthily and taking regular exercise.

Over the years Mikyla has dealt with her own weighty demons by losing 11 stone, so she knows a thing or two about diets. She takes a tour through a whole range of dieting disasters as she discovers the dangers of diet pills; talks to those whose diets gave them saggy skin and smelly sweat; and meets those whose extreme dieting put them under the knife, brought on seizures and made their life an addictive hell.

@AlekNovy You again?!

[AlekNovy]

@Rosalila The point is this.

A fat person who "eats healthy" is far worse off than an ideal weight person who "eats unhealthy". That's a fact.

[Rosalila]

@AlekNovy it's more important about eating healthy than losing weight, these shows

Are these docummentaries made to make fatties feel better about themselves? What's with all these BBC docummentaries about the dangers of dieting? It's pure BS.

In most cases, even a stupid diet improves your health over being obese. And the irony is with the concerned parents of that girls who took too much caffeine. Both her parents are morbidly obese. Her caffeine overdose is nowhere nearly as bad to health, as their being morbidly obese. They need to look inward before they worry bout her

I don't understand why people try 50,000 different ways of avoiding caloric restriction.

By caloric restriction I mean (losing weight by just increasing exercise or counting calories to ensure less intake)

The funny thing is that caloric restriction is actually extremely easy if you're patient and willing to take it slow. If you do a modest caloric deficit, you achieve your goal in a year, guaranteed.

But people wanna look like a supermodel in 4 weeks, which is why they fall for crap or diets

morons, its about health not fatness. if they do lipo or pop pills, they arent giving their heart any exercise, or their lungs, or any other parts of the body, so they are still gonna be rotten on the inside. suck the fat from round ur belly with lipo, its still gonna be round ur heart and still gonna give u heart disease. u still gonna get out of breath, and still gonna die younger

if u wanna look healthy, u got to live a healthy life, there is no alternative

Low Carb High Fat (Ketogenic) is the healthiest and easiest way to lose weight.
