Doctor Reacts To Extreme Diets | Freaky Eaters Ep. 2

Freaky Eaters a title I'm not a fan of in fact in the past I watched this show and I had a lot of complaints let's see if they made some improvements huge thank you to True classic for sponsoring this video let's get started PE 34-year-old Nikki loves to eat corn starch all day long corn starch is really nutritionally empty calories from carbohydrates that's it corn starch is normally used for thickening baking but me personally when I buy it is strictly for eating it my first craving for the corn star started when I was pregnant 16 years ago most women when they're pregnant they normally crave like pickles and ice cream things like that but my craving was corn starch there's a condition called Pika that basically creates Cravings of eating all sorts of things I've seen patients eat mud dirt sand my son Maris he was 4 years old he passed away 4 years ago go due to a seizure since Maris has been gone I did start eating cornstarch more than I normally was there's some kind of psychological coping mechanism going on here people find pleasure and safety in all sorts of aspects of life sometimes it could be a safety food that reminds someone of how they felt during a safe moment in their lives oh hi there you got there who there was absolutely no need to catch her like that that's so ridiculous and so obviously staged and getting me so obviously angry it's like smoke everywhere oh I'm a psychotherapist specializing in disordered eating and addictive behaviors I'm JJ Virgin I'm a certified nutrition specialist and a certified health and fitness specialist how often are you having bowel movements maybe once a week yeah that could be as a result of not hydrating enough or perhaps having low fiber again you can't jump to that conclusion without doing a full evaluation of the patient and I'm sure the show will do just that JJ and I pulled the cover off this pool to reveal the amount of corn starch mixed with water that Nikki eats in a year this is a foot and a half deep these visuals piss me so much off I just refuse to believe that there's evidence saying that if you show someone how much they eat in a year it has any impact on their behavior what do you think's going to happen if I walk on this think are you asking that genuinely wow if you walk fast you can walk right across it and I don't understand how this is valuable to her journey at all but I completely understand why the producers thought it was valuable for their show so you know who this show is out to help are you ready to see and experience what 6 months of your oh my looks and feels like are these people legitimate medical professionals that they're doing these things to these patients like this is so ridiculous W it looked like a volcano had erupted wa so cool it's like a scene straight out of breaking bed you're goddamn right what Nikki was really needing was support and somewhere to go with her sadness I don't want her to go to cornstarch I want her to go to her husband if we take away corn starch we got to add something and what we need to add is you running on corn starch and losing your shoes and then going into an attic and spraying it everywhere is the strength of this marriage is you being able to go to your husband when you're hurting I'm hurting too as well you have to let me know you have to be open to me as well I'm obviously joking this is good communication between partners I recognize that Nikki's going to have a craving for cornstarch for a while and I think tapering is going to serve her better we made a healthy rendition of her corn starch by adding protein powder and fiber powder into it at least you're getting some better macros in there with the protein powder by day three Nikki's urges to eat cornstarch are growing stronger when I do have the urge for cornstarch I just go to my mixture with the protein and fiber this is where the therapy would be very supportive instead of just throwing it on the husband and saying you solve it every time she's having these emotions like I hate these fake therapy things on TV because it's so disingenuous of how it actually happens in a situation like this she would meet with a medical professional who's going to try and explore why she's having these cravings What is she thinking about during these Cravings what triggers the Cravings to come on and find actual ways to deal with those situations instead of sitting and making her run across cornstar with water and then having her sit with her husband and have a great scene for television actually help her with mental health counseling show what it's like Kate's a devoted mom who loves to spend time with her family but behind closed kitchen doors life is no no walk in the park because Kate's diet is almost exclusively cheese not going to lie that is my dream I'm like a little mouse when it comes to looking for cheese because I have that memory of eating it from being a little girl it's so safe so I know that I can tolerate it and eat it and it won't make me sick or it won't make me feel uncomfortable well the thing with cheese is it absolutely can make you sick even if you don't have a lactose issue there's all sorts of bacteria that can build up in cheese leria is a common one there's been a lot of conflicting data coming out on cheese on whether or not it helps decrease cardiovascular risk or increase cardiovascular risk are you getting good benefits from the micronutrients plus probiotics or are you getting more harm from the saturated fat and over consumption of calories it really probably is going to depend person to person sadly for husband Jeff Kate's fear of anything H and Saucy means his homecook specialities are her worst nightmare oh what I wonder why if Jeff's cooking something he'll say when it's done are you're going to taste it and then as it gets nearer I can feel myself getting really really anxious I wonder if this is some kind of phobia that you can perform maybe guided desensitization on to help decrease these physiologic responses that she's having having of nausea I'd like you to go and grab one of those suitcases for me please okay where is she going and then unzip it and then tip out the contents oh cheese that represents how much cheese I eat in what sort of time frame a year six suitcases worth of cheese is how much you're eating in a year what is one supposed to do with that information pixie wants to show her the internal effect of her stodgy diet she's got 10 m of tubing half what's inside the average person she's prepared two liquids one represents fiber rich food and the other Kate's cheesy diet well that's another good thing to point out that cheese is usually not rich in fiber we know fiber to generally be considered a healthy nutrient that you want to make sure that it's present in your diet in order to decrease potentially some risks of disease and slow the absorption of foods and to make you more regular I want to get you to transport the fiber rich food right through the intestine for me now what do you notice about that LE running down quite quickly no problem at all can I get you to to do the same thing with the cheesy [Music] Stuff this is so not accurate of what happens inside of our stomach it's not just a bland pipe our GI system actually exhibits a neuromuscular function called peristalsis where it literally through waveform motions of the gut pushes food along the track so it is more absorbed and it does move freely this is obviously just like a silly example head chef Steve hilderbrand has been lined up by Natalie to demonstrate to Kate that the pasta she's terrified of is actually made up of ingredients she's already conquered this is this desensitization that I was talking about this is one way of accomplishing a decreased physiological response to the to the food I supect that that's the largest combination of flavors and ingredients you've ever tasted in one go ever yeah I mean exploring your pallette is generally a positive thing to do cuz when it comes to eating in moderation that's usually a healthy strategy the floating city of Venice is home to some of Italy's Finest restaurants can I have the spaghetti with meat sauce wow and I'm not going to judge the food choices she's making cuz that's not my place the point I want to make here is that she's incorporating new foods that have different sources of protein that have different micronutrients perhaps some more fiber therefore she's going to get a more well-balanced meal and have a lower risk of developing a nutritional deficiency back to the show in just a second but first I want to tell you about true classic a clothing brand that actually fits me online shopping for clothes is difficult because most

classic.com drmike to save let them know I sent you all right let's get back to the show 26-year-old Daniel drenches all his food in maple syrup uh I got my syrup going I put maple syrup on everything that I eat breakfast lunch and dinner it's going to be a a Surefire way to increase the sugar content of anything he's eating which if he's even remotely overc consuming calories in his meals and then adding that on top of it you're going to get into a place where you're going to be putting on weight and that's the unhealthy type of weight where the odds are that you're going to be putting on visceral fat which is the fat that surrounds your organs and is considered less healthy each and every day Daniel Downs more than 2 cups of maple Sy wow that's a lot that amounts to nearly 2,000 calories a day that's how much an average adult should be really consuming period and he's just doing that with the maple syrup and it doesn't look like he's using a high quality maple syrup which to me doesn't really reflect the true nature of maple syrup where if you truly tap a tree and get the maple syrup out of it you're going to get some nutrients but in these hyper processed ones a lot of times what you're going to get is just processed junk refined carbohydrates that spike your blood sugar spike your insulin create all sorts of unintended unhealthy effects his eating habits are catching up to him he's not as active as he was he's not as energetic as he was the maple syrup is taking its toll on his body yeah when you're going to over consume the maple syrup what's going to happen is your body's going to store the excess sugar as triglycerides it's going to deposit itself in your liver you're going to have insulin spikes you're going to see hormonal changes and most importantly you're going to see body fat increases and when you start carrying excess body fat your risk of heart attack stroke cancers go up it really is a detrimental effect uh on the human body this Maple syare how long does this last you about uh 4 to 5 days sounds like it's your drugs sounds like it's I I won't go that far sir I don't even know you and you shouldn't even talk to me like that you know yeah I agree even though it's unhealthy the way this person's talking to them is a little aggressive part of having a good physician patient Alliance is being on the same page and you did not start that conversation off on the same page oh my Lord we used a storage container to stash 9912 lbs of sugar 2 years worth of what he's eating yeah 2,000 calories a day of sugar that you're Downing who talks like that to a patient the food that you're Downing who are you it's a lot of syrup we've set up 2 years worth of Daniel's maple syrup no what you should be saying is we wasted 2 years worth of maple syrup to set up a stunt for this camera we actually want you to pour every single one into that trash in the era of wasting food this is so terrible I don't know why you guys are wasting this much syrup that's crazy it's trash no it's not it can totally be used as a sweetener appropriately over consumption of it is unhealthy but the Judgment that's coming from these supposed two mental health professionals and nutritional Specialists is really upsetting I would have love to see the mental health specialist this drct my character step in and say something about this and call it out that this isn't healthy the real shocker came when I looked at his body composition you have 42 LB of fat on you she says it so judgmentally it's insane 42 lbs of fat like what does that mean give me a body fat percentage that's the real value of what I want to know and that's a body impedence scan they're not super valuable it's slightly better than let's say just doing a BMI for the average person you should be sitting there honestly 8 9% body fat it excuse me excuse me 8 9% body fat what is he a bodybuilder I gave Daniel this information and I think he heard it but I wanted him to really feel just how a shape he really was I'm going to make you feel terrible about yourself and that's going to help you get better come on up up let's go when JJ made me do sit-ups I knew that I have a problem they're forcing him to say that Daniel didn't even make it a minute he was sweating he was struggling that's what exercise is since you've clearly never taught anyone exercise that is peach salsa that is good now Daniel has some Alternatives that have an eighth of the sugar of his maple syrup that he can use to push maple syrup out of the way well that's a good alternative I'm okay with that that's making progress in the right direction at least it's a little bit of a practical step that he can use as opposed to hey you suck at exercise we wanted to show him somebody who was young who had kidney failure and now he spends 3 days a week 4 hours at a time at this dialysis clinic Mikey how old are you I'm 36 why does Mikey have kidney failure we wanted Daniel to understand that by the time he started to feel bad it could be too late for him are they saying he's going to develop type 2 diabetes and then not control it with medications and then develop kidney failure it's so much to the point where he ends up being on dialysis I mean this this is so strange Dan you look a little freaked out I don't want to see this the sooner you can make a change the better this is so awkward and wrong I could be in this situation a couple years from now I don't even know how I would adjust to this why are they on this poor guy's life we don't even know why he has kidney failure any when we met you you were eating a gallon of maple syrup a week how much you eating now quarter at least of a gallon Daniel has cut down his maple syrup consumption by 75% that's moving in the right direction for sure they're such though 36-year-old Misty drowns everything she eats in tartar sauce every meal every day this show feels so explo exploitative exploitive exploitative exploitative it's so bad that it's both in just tartar sauce alone Misty consumes a mindboggling 14,000 calories a week that's a lot of calories that's 2,000 calories a day people think that this is a physical issue but it's actually a mental health condition that's driving her to feel this way about the tartar sauce eating tartis sauce is almost like having an orgasm I've never heard anyone discuss tartar sauce in that way tartar sauce isn't even considered an aphrodesiac not that any of those aphrodesiac things by the way make any medical sense tartar sauce in your pury really I don't know how I got there open that truck they have to do the the visual every episode oh there's another one wow I thought they were going to fill up the truck with tarar sauce for real yep for real people have legitimate medical issues and this is how they treat it we're going to send a Year's worth of tartar sauce rushing towards you right now are you ready here it comes this is so [Music] sick just to see all that ooze and goo sliding down the slide it even grossed me out it's all the fat in that tarar sauce this is oh no if there was a shortcut to creating an eating disorder it's this what do you see heavy set woman you're obese and most likely at this point morbidly obese the fact that you say that with a scal makes you a scumbag this could be as bad as it gets but if you keep going [Music] we had created a picture of Misty with about 50 more pounds on her did they photoshop her to be bigger are you trying to create a body dysmorphia if I was in this producers room I would tear these people apart tarter sauce is 74% fat while the Greek style yogurt JJ is using is only 2% fat I want you just to taste it okay when I first WR the Greek yogurt it was disgusting Greek yogurt yogurt unflavored is not for everybody but it is a good substitution for tarar it's just the base we're going to experiment with a bunch of different tastes and we're going to find a couple things that you like let's substitution is good this is the one part of the show that I'm not angry about Misty is ready to share her new sauce choices with her daughter this is real good it's my this is the one positive thing about this show and a spicy brown mustard that's why like spices are really great in that they usually don't add calories some spices don't even have sodium content so like you can get some healthy micronutrients without increasing calories or sodium or sugar BMI gets used so often but is it even valuable click here to find out where I break that down and more and as always stay happy and healthy
