“im not enjoying it but i cant stop” that right there.

This man sacrificed his body for science. Not gonna lie he's successfully horrified me into wanting to clean up my diet.

I'm glad this experiment wasn't just someone eating McDonald's and KFC, but rather he was eating things like instant lasagne/microwave meals/cereal/etc which don't come under the same scrutiny as fast food but are still highly processed and probably really should be (especially given the results from this video). It can be difficult to cook all of your own meals but it certainly pays off in health benefits.

The food he ate (whenever hungry)
1 (0:33). Fried chicken (MSG, Sodium Phosphate, spice extracts).
2 (1:20). Lasagne (Cheesy).
3 (2:10). Dry cereal with milk.
4 (2:28). Wraps, bread with cheese, and burgers
5 (2:40). Stuffed crust meat feast Pizza.
6 (4:50). Packaged fish, chips and peas .
7 (5:22). Pudding (Contains Potassium Sorbate).

Results:
Weight gained is 6.5kg,
BMI went up by 2.0.
Body fat went up by 3.0kg.
Hunger hormone went up by 30%

This should be required viewing for everyone. The food industry needs to be put in the spotlight like tobacco was.

[KC-zyjy]

This is insane. And remember: the UK has banned many chemicals that the US still uses regularly in food products. I couldn’t imagine the further damage if you live in the states

«I'm not enjoying, but i can't stop.»
Phrase that summarises processed food addiction.

[clarissagafoor]

Fortunately here in Hong Kong processed foods are more expensive than fresh.

This needs to be expanded into a 60 min show. This info needs to be spread far and wide as it touches on so many lives and so many aspects of society.

As an Italian it breaks my heart to see the list of ingredients in that pizza. It should be only 6: flour, water, yeast, salt, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese (plus vegetables and meat toppings). Pizza per se is still a very high calories food, but that amount of garbage on the list is really frightening.

[annalieff-saxby]

He's very right about the "junk food hangover". I normally eat a wholefood vegetarian diet, cooking from scratch, and the day after my monthly "cheat day" (usually pizza) I feel like hell.

[mollymcgregor]

It would have been good to see how he struggled to re-acclimate to his healthier diet again!

"I'm not enjoying it but I can't stop"
"It's a lot like marriage"
We have just witnessed a murder😂😭

[juliusr]

Wow that’s quite astonishing. A friend of mine quit processed food, changed nothing else in his lifestyle then that (mostly buying fresh food on farmer markets) and lost 40kg in a year. Now he isn’t overweight anymore.
I used to blame people for being fat, when in reality it’s a food industry crime.

[phunkymind]

I've always been fascinated when reading the ingredients, finding it off-putting when I find sugar, but only recently have I realised that "sugar-free" doesn't mean it won't harm you. It needs to reach a stage where the law gives the companies no place to hide.

“I’m not enjoying it but I can’t stop”
“It’s a lot like marriage”
💀💀

"UK doctor switches to Standard American Diet" haha only kidding

[catcoder]

Same with Sugar. I was hooked on eating ice cream everyday, sometimes twice a day when I was depressed.

[alvegutt]

luckily i ate very little processed foods as a child. which was already pretty rare just 20 year ago. i remember all my friends eating cereal, microwave foods, etc at home. it was like a treat when i was at their house, i didnt realise its basically drugs. my mom made almost everything homemade
