Living on Bread for the Last 4 Years | 'Addicted to Bread' Freaky Eaters (UK) S2 Ep4 | Only Human

Joanne is a young, single professional who loves partying with her friends, but she's becoming isolated and her social life is suffering all because of a dark secret - she's addicted to bread and can eat little else. Operations to fix a cleft palate in childhood should have put an end to her eating problems, but they were just the beginning. For 24 years, she's lived mostly on bread. Unless Joanne mends her ways, she's at risk of serious health problems.
Freaky Eaters is a series in which nutritionist Charlotte Watts and psychological coach Felix Economakis help people with strange eating habits and food phobias and addictions. While Charlotte encourages them to eat new foods, Felix attempts to get to the bottom of the psychological problems causing their food phobias, with the aim of getting them on the road to eating a healthy balanced diet in just four weeks.

Title: “Woman’s addiction to bread isolates her”
First 5 seconds “I have a great social life”

[tonyadurst-scarlett]

Seems like starting her on banana bread, zucchini bread or spinach rolls etc. would have been an easier transition for her

[axial]

Looks like someone took "Let's get this bread." too seriously.

[disturbed]

After seeing a lot of episodes, i have the feeling that those experts have no real idea what they're doing

[altnarrative]

It's so stupid how they are told to throw away perfectly good foods like canned food.


Donate. It.

[adinapascu]

the way the mother said "the things we do for our kids" more then once kinda disturbed me for some reason...

[lolpota]

Anyone else see those shock therapy parts and just think "that's alot of wasted food"

[jasperlim]

Baker: How much bread do you want?
Her: Yes

[kristyncooper]

I actually think she did really well. I can't imagine having that type of reaction to food. She really made progress!

[cathycronje]

Come into this intimidating white room and tell me about your childhood.

[tikoadam]

These shows are pissing me off with the amount of food they wasting... why not just donate it to a food bank?😡

[shirleyschork]

How creepy is it to meet a psychiatrist or psychologist in a padded white room!!!

[shellbeeforreal]

her family sunday lunch looks like the best group meal I ahve ever seen on this show everyone else's food most of the time looks greasy or dry

[roxyhart]

This programme is so stupid but I also can't not watch it

[genericusername]

I bet her Sister-in-law and brother love that their wedding was focused on her

[angelam]

If the mother says one more time ‘the things we do for our kids’ I’ll scream. What you should have done is helped her with it when she’s little. That’s what the docs meant.

[janrees]

I also think talking about the food while eating is a bad idea.
People who have eating disorders usually hate the idea of people watching their food intake and what they're eating.
My sister used to have an eating disorder, she's still a vegan and struggles to eat in public but she's maintained a healthy weight for years now, and she absolutely hates talking about her issues while eating.
She doesn't mind at other times but drawing attention to her problems with food while she's trying to eat makes her extremely anxious

[Guangdian-qiuc]

It's the brides wedding but everyone is paying attention to Joanne tbh that's a little unfair to the bride

[ewetubin]

Why the hell are they putting smoked salmon in front of her so soon!? cooked fish would be the wiser choice. The tuna not drained would be gross to me and I love tuna

[annapurna]

There is a classification of eating disorder known as food neophobia, which is literally a phobia of eating new/certain types of food, so her friend isn’t wrong.
