junk

food really doing to us? Sorry, I'm about to burp now. six famous faces is probably the first time someone has come to dinner at number 10 carrying their own burger and have agreed to risk their bodies and become guinea pigs in an extreme science experiment to, oh, find christ, I feel creepy like that unique The experiment will be supervised by nutrition expert Dr.

Michael Mosley. We're really going to push our volunteers to the limit for 21

days

. Michael will force feed our

human

lab rats. Burgers, fried chicken and pizza. Britain's favorite junk food, known as overeating. study delicious, uh, and here we go, we'll find out how junk food takes hold and affects everything from your stomach, I fell short to your sleep in the morning and your brain. Peter has more activation than the vast majority of obese people and some of these. people were really obese in terms of their life expectancy, she is at risk of having a stroke, in a real and crucial way, we will reveal which of our favorite junk foods are the worst for fat, sugar and salt, the impact on their bodies was much more devastating, good night, than anyone would have thought. possible in such a short time to start the junk food experiment michael mosley has invited his famous guinea pigs to lunch at a local restaurant.

In fact, I'm very nervous because they accepted it, they have been tested, but the real reality It will be today when I tell you and show you what you will have to eat for the next three weeks. I just hope they don't leave then. Michael's first guinea pig is the original Mr. Six. -pack singer and songwriter peter andre hello hello michael how you are very good to you I love to see you you look fantastic well I'm not sure you're going to say that in a few weeks I hope that Peter

does

n't work out he goes out six times a week and he thinks that gives him a way free to eat whatever you want.

I have always believed that we should focus more on activity than on what we eat. Now look, don't laugh, it's the 90s. I'm going to go. all the pig I want to see if I'm really right that maybe when you balance bad food and training you're fine look at this man you look sexy I feel good hello hello bye the next one to donate his body to science is mp ms nadine doris the Kingdom United Kingdom is now the third most obese nation in the world and that is a surprising fact. I really want to do the experiments because obesity is something that should worry a lot of people and it certainly worries me.

Nadine depends on a healthy diet. and exercise to stay alert. I really need to be absolutely honest and absolutely focused. I think this will be the biggest challenge I've ever faced when you know your health is going to be affected. It's quite daunting and challenging. Do you know who? I'm under the direction of Dean Doris, oh, so you don't know who I am. You're talking to me like you know me. I went to the jungle. You did it. You did it. Good morning. Hello, nice to meet you joining Peter and Nadine. Haley to Madden actress Haley loves her food, but like about 20 Britons, she lives with a digestive condition, irritable bowel syndrome.

I want to do this experiment to prove that what you eat is what affects your body, whether you have ibs or I don't have any good luck with this. It's going to be a challenge. I think for the first few

days

it might be fine. I think for the first few days it could be quite fun. And I think I could join them for a pizza, as long as. you buy me a girdle this is exciting are you ready for this? I'm ready to eat who's good morning hello good morning how are you the fourth volunteer is the dark destroyer of the chase or sean wallace for his companions sometimes I like fast food I'm kind of a junk food addict.

He is also a lawyer. I live a very hectic and busy lifestyle. How are you? Pleased to meet you. Sean has a family medical history that puts him at higher risk for harm from junk food. My parents had type 2 diabetes. I didn't want that to affect me, which is why I want to participate in this experiment. I want to see if it affects my health. Thanks, regards, are you ready for this? It was stronger than ever. This house is absolutely crazy. Our fifth volunteer is six-time Olympian Tessa Sanderson. Obesity is something I really fear is going to get worse and we have to do something about it.

Tessa is now a mother of six-year-old twins and has strong opinions about The nation's health depends on parents and this is where much of the obesity among young people comes in because parents have to start from home. We like to eat healthy things in the morning, right? Yes, I am the oldest. Here, how old are you? 61. No, you don't have one, how? I'm 62. You're just a daughter. You're going to add a little elegance to our set of

human

guinea pigs. It's made in Chelsea Star and healthy food. fan hugo taylor I think I want to do this specifically, I guess in an almost non-charitable way, but I want to draw attention to something that I think is a really dangerous topic in this country.

Personally I think it's easier than ever to eat. Healthily in the UK, dragon fruit avocado has all these amazing things, oh natural, I feel extremely apprehensive about doing the experiment. I'm generally more nervous about this than anything I've done before, so yeah, kinda savoring this. last as a holy cup of what a nice, beautiful sunny afternoon in London, before darkness falls, thank you so much for being here. I was a little worried about everyone coming because this is pretty tough stuff. about to get engaged, you will eat three classic types of fast food, yes, it's time to get your food, it will be a lovely surprise for the next 21 days, our famous guinea pigs will be fed burgers, fried chicken and pizza every day, Junk food is fast.

Foods high in fat, salt and sugar are fine as an occasional treat, but the problem now is that it has become a lifestyle and by following Michael's diet, his victims, I mean the volunteers will consume 50 calories more than their bodies need in a short period of time. The length of time that their bodies will show the effect normally associated with long-term overeating is extreme, but because it is a controlled experiment, it will allow Michael to measure the side effects of the food. Okay, so I'll pay you guys as friends so you can. encourage each other and stuff like that and everyone will start with different things so pizza for you too for a week and then it will be chicken over here okay chicken for you at the end but not least you two will be the twin burgers at least for a week and then at the end of the week you will all be swapped and I will give you new instructions.

The experiment will use what is called a crossover model, common in medical trials with each guinea pig. I will spend a week on each meal before switching to the next. Okay, get stuck in from the bottom up, that tastes delicious. Oh, delicious. This one is delicious. Yes. This is my third chicken pizza. Now I am very proud of you. I mean, when you look at the table. Everything's beige, huh, yeah, I'm so full, how's your burger, Pete? Honestly, he hasn't even touched the sides yet. I hope you feel the same in about a week. Yes, I feel a little dirty.

Oh, aren't I a little dirty. In a good way, not dirty, dirty, like I've done something wrong, okay, so this is a brilliant start and I'll leave you with Michael Church, bye, wow, actually sitting there with the food in front of me and eating it , it's like when you visualize something. and you think how bad it could be and then it actually happens and it's worse I'm freaking out it's the first week of our junk food experiment and all over the country our brave lab rats are getting stuck on hello pizza oh hello beautiful sunny love that coming, yes I'm fine, you have my food, it has already become a family affair for Deputy Nadine, the taste is pleasant and her burger-eating companion, Peter, is not far behind.

I can handle that and I can handle that. Yes, let's do it now. Eat your porridge please, by the third day Tessa is getting stronger, what should I eat this morning? Yes, pizza, I think I have a healthy relationship with food, husband Denson, however, you disagree, what about the chocolate you eat? Well, chocolate she eats a lot. chocolate yes, yes, I like chocolate, I think I eat a healthier breakfast than you, she likes to eat a lot of fried food in the morning, hey, a treat, okay, I have that favorite, right? All of these, look at all of these, there's a mustard bananas and things like that well, whatever the truth is, it's pizza for now you have to eat it, eat it, you eat it, whether you eat a pizza, it means you get 100 calories, there's over 100 calories in one of those, which is why you shouldn't eat it as much in chelsea tessa's partner in pizza crime, hugo, is struggling and is already showing worrying signs of avocado withdrawal symptoms, it's like an adventure of a really bad night, like you're there, you're enjoying it at that moment and then so soon.

Once done, you just want to get out the door and shower. You know what I mean. I believe in a tight life. You know my mom was part of the organic wave before she converted. You know, it's an extremely common thing. I'm looking forward to lunch today. On today's pizza order I can't express how terrified I am to do this, thanks man, it's taking me massively out of my comfort zone and you know I'm trying to do this for other people so it's like a selfless act, i guess. as the nation breathes a collective sigh of gratitude hugo takes one for the country the dalai lama said too much good food makes you sick so everything in moderation mine is pretty good oh jesus christ conservative MP nadine doris hasn't had a hamburger in over So far 20 years I will give you a cookie and after

only

four days of eating them non-stop she hit the wall I feel horrible my head hurts I have a tremor in my fingers and I feel horrible look at this look what happens When I press it , can you see the fat running inside at Westminster from his day job?

Nadine is worried there may be another unexpected side effect. I'm forgetting things. I just don't feel well, very forgetful. Do we have the spankings for the next one? One more week please, although there are limited studies on memory and junk food. Nadine has no doubt that hamburgers are affecting her brain and her body. What

does

this mean with an important appearance of commons? Nadine is now worried that her memory is failing her. Oh, I'm about to go to the House of Commons chamber to give a speech on childhood obesity. I usually do it and pronounce it myself.

I don't trust myself to do it tonight. In fact, I have written a speech. so for the first time in years I will read a speech, since we know that the second largest cause of preventable cancer is obesity, this to me is like a failure, you know? And I think if she lived on this diet, there would always be I'll be talking about notes, this is a big crisis, but like a true daughter of Britannia, she fights with the thank you speaker and later that same night, never say die. Nadine picks up her next burger, thank you, my dinner, she enjoys and heads off to a very special dinner date.

I think this is probably the first time anyone has come to dinner at number 10 with her own burger while Nadine and her junk food bag make political history. Thank you. Peter André is in Surrey bursting with enthusiasm for his new super-sized diet. Okay, burger, this bag was so loaded with fries that I must have eaten at least two of these. I'm stressed because I actually enjoyed it a lot, but Emily, Peter's doctor, is less enamored with his new rather smelly dinners, junk food bliss, basically it's I've been banned from the living room because it stinks too much this week's burgers and even smells in bed.

Peter and his family believe in healthy home cooking. Mainly I cook a lot, yes, but I eat all the foods I love, hamburgers or chocolates. I mean, it's ridiculous, let's say one of these bars like that, I'll have at least half of that every night no problem, it's part of our routine, a bit like putting the younger kids to bed, sitting on the couch, having a cuppa of tea, have a massacre of biscuits Like Peter, many of us Brits love our takeaways and scoff at 3 million fast food meals every day, but what exactly is junk food in the meals we eat? we call foodscrap?

Michael Mosley wants to discover and determine what kind of junk food is worth our health, so here we have burgers and fries, chicken, fries and delicious pizza, but what exactly is in them. One way to find out is to mix them together and have a lab analyze the results. Well, let's start with pizza to get a good cross section of what is sold on Britain's high streets, we have collected samples from nine random takeaway restaurants, three samples of each of the three foods. The mixture gives the sample a uniform consistency, allowing us to measure what they actually contain more accurately, so that they become pizza, chicken and hamburger and fries. and fries, I have to say that this is not the most delicious meal I have ever prepared in this kitchen.

A series of tests were carried out on our various sludges and the results are in. Which of these bad boys is the third worst? Hamburger and fries This is the least offensive of the three fast foods that said that everything is relative because in a single hamburger and portion of fries you have about half of your daily ration of fat, salt and sugar that is not good but now Things are going to get a little scarier in second place, the low-sugar fried chicken, but that's where the good news ends. Two of the three samples we sent to analyze contain more than the daily recommended amount.

The recommended daily amount of fat is around of 70 grams and each of our samples easily surpassed it, so in one meal you would easily exceed your recommended daily amount for the entire day. One of our specimens contained trans. Fatty acids are now the worst type of fat - they can cause artery-clogging high cholesterol - but this sample contained 23 grams, which is equivalent to almost five teaspoons. Now taking first place in our hall of shame, the deliciously evil pizza, this has it all. Your daily amount of salt is six grams, about a teaspoon; All of these exceeded this one by more than double and the fat levels were truly surprising.

Each of the pizzas we tried far exceeded the recommended daily amount of fat for the big daddy here. 18-inch pepperoni is about two and a half times the recommended daily amount, the equivalent of about three-quarters of a package of butter. We are now programmed to feel good when we eat fat, salt and sugar, it lights up areas of our brain, but we were never meant to eat them in these mounds across Britain, our brave volunteers are consuming these colossal levels of bad stuff almost every day. day, every day, so it's no surprise that the end of the week can't come soon enough for some, especially Hayley, who suffers from ibs. a bit of a struggle to digest this one, there's so much oil, it's so much fat, but he's still bravely munching down enough fried chicken to alarm some of his coronation street friends, for someone who's normally super healthy, he seems to be eating much junk food. the food, so dinner is a fried chicken wrap, enjoy it when you feel bad, grab it there, she goes, good girl for Dr.

Mosley. Dr. Haley's ibs are a real concern so I have eaten it and I have an instant tummy ache like an instant tummy ache. Haley is prone to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is actually very common for her. She suffers from gas bloating. This food. The amount of oil, I guess, and the grease makes me feel pretty bad. Over the past two years, he's managed to control it very well, but I'm. a little anxious, this fast food diet will cause some pretty violent reactions, in which case she will feel very uncomfortable. Fried chicken is not good for me, in fact, by day six, the low fiber junk food diet has thrown everyone into chaos.

From time to time I pass rubber balls, that's all. I wonder what the hell this is doing to my insides. My stomach rumbles all day. My clown. Experts keep a close eye on everyone's health and take a special interest in their bowel movements. So right before the experiment started, we asked Nadine to take a very special break. I had to take a poop sample this morning. I had to tidy up, which is not normal, but I managed it, so yeah. Here is my poop sample. I wanted the house. The common authorities will complain that I have been in samples in my office.

This reference sample will be analyzed and we will compare it to Nadine's subsequent offers at the end of the experiment. Guess what time? It's time for dinner, you eat more and more pizza. The monotony of eating the same bland beige food is really going to get to me. Luckily for clean eater Hugo, we've reached the end of the first week and it's time for our famous faces. To consult with Harley Street's leading weight management doctor, enam abood and relax, the six guinea pigs underwent a complete medical examination at the beginning of the experiment to ensure that they were healthy enough to participate. it is impossible.

I feel good after a week of saturating myself. with junk food are here to weigh themselves, surprisingly, almost no one has gained weight, it's not that interesting, but fried chicken mocker haley's waist has expanded three inches, omg that could be intestinal inflammation, burger enthusiast Peter is the exception, he has gained 2.3 kilos around five pounds after just seven days of junk food, could any of that be muscle? all the testing done, time to catch up and figure out what everyone is eating in the second week, we have the worst over the chicken challenge, if not one. being picked on is not food we really hate because I don't really hate gelatin, I love it, but someone's gone, okay, hello, hello, how are you?

I'm fine, but I'm worried about you, how are you doing? It's been nice. It's hard, I have these mental barriers that I can't seem to break down to be able to eat that amount of food so regularly the day after I saw you had a full-blown anxiety attack on Saturday. Tomorrow, Hugo spoke to Dr. Abud and consulted a psychologist, since apparently the experiment is making him too psychologically anxious. I'm just not the right test case for you, sorry to disappoint you, not at all, I mean, thank you. Thank you so much for participating, okay, thanks guys, I like how abruptly you ended it.

You know what I mean. The experiment ended. Can you come out now? um and I feel a little bad about it all, to be honest, um, that's hugely so. Disappointing, though not entirely surprising, and just goes to show how difficult this sort of thing is. The remainder have been told which food they will switch to during the second week of the junk food experiment. Nadine and Peter are switching to chicken. Okay, Shawn and Hayley have pizza. Happy Hayley, I had a chicken, I'm Peter Heaven and Tessa, without Hugo, now I will carry the burden of burger week alone.

This is good, actually, I quite like it. Well, do you taste good? Hello, hello, oh, you look very happy. I have to say that unfortunately we have an empty chair, don't we? Oh well, Hugo, yeah, okay, bless him, the clue wasn't the name, although it wasn't. Hugh stay, it was ghost Hugh. You're happy to move on, absolutely it was. Hello, how are you bald? They're really not good, to be honest. During the first three days I passed the stalls twice and began to worry. So I was going to get my last meal and I was caught short.

I drove to the northern loop road, one of the green lights is fantastic and I managed to get home and the moment I pushed the key in the door I went up the stairs, we could imagine we would rather not imagine it but yeah, what do you think? I'm going to look forward to most at the end of the whole experiment, the end and then there were five. What's happening. I've

only

eaten one portion. Sometimes you just want to relax. Put on a movie and eat a pizza. She is living the dream. My Best Life is week two of the junk food experiment, where five brave volunteers take part in an overeating experiment so we can find out what junk food is doing to the rest of us.

I have exercised and drank a lot of water. Now, when I go to consume these calories, I can think that Brexiteer Nadine Doris is all for staying in the junk food experiment at Westminster, where she shares chicken and chips with her Tory friend from she Jacob of her. rees-mogg while the other four guinea pigs are on a grease-seeking mission at one of the country's 52,000 fast food outlets, Aladdin's in west London is typical of many of the fried chicken shops on the high street british today hayley is running the house next please as peter and lawyer shawn get to the nitty-gritty of how exactly their dinner is prepared.

I'm really interested in finding out what goes into fried chicken preparation. I mean, he's a big guy, so we'll have a lawyer. We will need to know the truth. I will tell you the whole truth all the time. The truth is that we love our chicken in the UK and it is the meat most eaten away from home. we have the wing pieces, these are the legs, you know, I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that a lot of people when they think about fried chicken they never know what the real meat is, if they even know the cuts or whatever, but as you can see, these are a top notch cup, it is common for fried chicken to be covered with breading which is made up of flour, spices and salt, shake it but don't break it bro, sorry, and the main brands of breading that We investigated they contained up to 14 salt in the mixture, so apart from the salt content really the other ingredients don't sound that bad at all, it is halved, it is actually the cooling stage where fast food, like Fried chicken and French fries absorb the most oil, so the shake and batter you see at a fast food store is an important step in reducing this and is estimated to remove 20 percent of the fat. in doing so.

Do you find that you have many of the same customers coming in daily, some even twice a day? You must know everyone, yes I practically did it when they were kids, now I'm serving their kids, they're addicted to fast food, do you really think they're addicted? Yes, do you eat here? Do you eat yours? No, the truth is that I don't eat that often, but I would say that if I ate here every day it would be a problem for this industry, as for many industries, whether we are talking about something that is absolutely unhealthy like smoking or alcohol. and fast food, anything taken to the extreme is never good for you. one needs to eat moderately it's a lifestyle one chooses, I think that's a really lovely honest answer.

Alarmingly, several research studies suggest that fast food lifestyles are becoming the norm in the UK. Since 2010, the number of fast food outlets has increased by 34 percent and it is estimated that one of every six older teenagers now eat fast food twice a day, it's okay guys, it's okay, the doctor cries while I call myself winners, he never gives up and the quitters never win, the addicts are now halfway through the experiment and Our famous faces have certainly been filling their faces and a few other things. I'm just trying to get dressed this morning but I've got my jeans on and this is my problem, as well as muffin tops, volunteers are starting to show signs of potentially worse side effects, it's estimated that two-thirds of Brits suffer of sleep interruptions.

The latest studies suggest a possible link between this and a diet high in fat and sugar, so the guinea pigs' rooms have been equipped with night vision cameras and it seems that they have all had problems in the bag they were in . probably the worst night's sleep I've ever had, Mr. Simon, so I had a terrible dream. I woke up at 3 in the morning and it was like it was morning. I felt uncomfortable and kept waking up at the same time. I was awake for about an hour and suddenly I broke down. Michael has asked Dr Ian Smith, from Britain's leading sleep clinic, to analyze his sleep data.

He believes the foods they eat may be affecting them. He assumes that what is happening is that there is a much larger swing in your blood sugar and levels. of important hormones in their body, particularly insulin, that those swings peak and help them fall asleep, but then they go into slumps that wake them up in the early hours of the night eating refined carbohydrates like those found in fast food late at night. It can be detrimental to your sleep, what would a good apple do? But, more worryingly, Dr Smith has noticed something potentially serious in Sean's sleep data and has asked her to attend his clinic in Papworth in Cambridge.

Sean Hi, hello, on average, do you have any idea how? How much sleep you get, I would say on average about five and a half hours. Has anyone told you anythingtime you stopped breathing while you were sleeping? No, definitely not, when you stop breathing while you sleep, it is called sleep apnea. These pauses can be 10 seconds or more. Two minutes without diagnosing the condition can lead to serious complications. It is thought that up to one and a half million Britons could be affected and could be made worse by a junk food diet. Sean may think that he has no symptoms of sleep apnea, but years. of his junk food lifestyle have contributed to an already poor quality of sleep.

The junk food experiment could be putting you closer to sleep apnea. Wow, this test called polysonogram will be able to build a detailed picture of your sleeping habits. It will measure everything. Shawn does it while he's asleep and awake, how did you sleep last night? Well, dr ian will need more than one night's data to properly diagnose Shaun, so we'll monitor him at home for the rest of the junk food experiment. Good night in Manchester though Haley. she has preferred the pizza diet to fried chicken, it's all junk food when it comes to her irritable bowel syndrome, I'm actually in a lot of pain, massive pain, yes I can say that Hayley's reaction to overeating food scrap is quite severe, so Michael sends it to Mira, Dr.

Abude, how does it feel tender? It's okay, I'm so sorry. I was here. Oh my god, that's really bad. What if you are really very swollen before the experiment when I checked you? Everything was soft and pleasant and no, no. cuteness but now that surprised me a little bit I'm so sorry it's totally swollen honey it's okay it's okay so I've eaten it and I have an instant tummy ache like an instant tummy ache that hurts a lot more than you expected yeah That's why I wanted to examine you. There is a general inflammation of your digestive system and I know that we really have to consider whether it is really a good idea to continue.

I can do it one more week. Please don't let pride play a role. The role here is that your health is paramount, it has to come first, yes, that has become real, hasn't it? Yes, I am concerned and concerned that the damage this junk food is causing will not be reversible if we let Hayley continue to review it for another week. medical notes dr. abboud thinks it is too dangerous for hayley to continue hi hayley hi this has really given me a very very very profound experience and on second thought I am asking you to please not continue with the experiment.

I'm worried about you. Alright. It would be unethical to allow you to continue. Your health is paramount and it really comes first. Priceless. Thank you so much. The fact that she said she was worried made me understand that I am exposing myself to this for the benefit of the experiment because I want to help as much as I can, but I think I have also been covering up a little bit how it has been hurting me a lot and today I couldn't hide it anymore and then there were four. It's the third week of the junk food experiment.

Our remaining volunteers reached the final stage and switched to their final meal type with Hayley, who is gone. Shawn is brave. delivering burger week alone, and partners in crime peter and nadine are now into pizzas, chickens out of my system now it's pizza time, let's do it, this won't be a problem, that's all, cheers, no I'm going to lie, this Hawaiian is Fantastic, oh excuse me, Tessa should start with fried chicken, but after a week of hamburgers she got sick and Dr. Michael is worried. They woke me up with a huge headache, it hurts a lot and, right here, in my eyes, too.

Much like a migraine, I've had a headache like this for a long, long time. I feel tremendous sympathy for her. I must admit that she is a tough woman, she is not a cutie, so if she is talking about a headache, then she has something really serious. It's a worrying development for the 62-year-old Olympic champion who started the experiment as healthy as someone half her age and has the Harley Street team worried, just take a deep breath, okay, that's really wonderful, that's great, so than your blood pressure for both readings. It's 170 over 95. Those numbers aren't good, anything over 140 over 90 is considered too high, which is a far cry from what your blood pressure was before, which means there's a good chance that was the reason. your migraine last night, yes, it's blood pressure yes, yes, okay, I understand that the risk of having a stroke really within two weeks is at risk of having a stroke, it's really quite shocking, the next two days are going To be critical, it is well established that salt is linked to high blood pressure and after two weeks of junk food the salt levels in Tessa's body are dangerously high according to doctor's orders.

She's now she's checking her blood pressure frequently, so we're going to do the test and send it out, and you know, I'm not going to do it. Of course, I'm not happy with having such a high result, but I hope it will be better. This reading is very high for a woman in her 60s. Tessa is in real danger if these numbers don't lower the cumulative effect. of fast food is really starting to take its toll, but what about the occasional binges or blowouts to understand the effects a single binge can have on the body? Dr.

Michael has decided to go out to eat tonight. I think I'll eat all of them. and enjoy the ultimate binge on the menu it's the beast a 6,000 calorie mega burger hello hello thank you tonight michael is your own guinea pig measuring your every response to this meaty marathon it's university nutrition specialist dr matthew campbell from leeds what is it This thing you have here is a little pill that you will swallow and then we will measure the temperature from the inside. It has electronic components. It has a little recorder and it will communicate directly with that.

It's very clear okay bama hatch it will come out the other end I think so I don't need money so this is your core body temperature reader okay you can just pop up around your head and it's currently reading 36 degrees. In addition to measuring Michael's internal temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and blood fat levels, Matthew will also monitor Michael's arteries using ultrasound, we will evaluate the walls of his blood vessels and see how flexible they are, we will see If they increase their stiffness, hey, here we go. Michael's dinner date tonight is Leah Shukiver Lee is what's known as a competitive eater.

This is the 12 glazed donut challenge and she regularly devours 10,000 calorie super meals - not the kind of thing to try at home, although tonight she'll be in one minute and 12 seconds. training michael how do i start? How do I accept this? I would say go for protein first try to stay as upright as possible, take big bites, eat as fast as you can, you don't want your body to register that. you're full you're going for a double though wow ok my stomach is already starting to say enough you're not half done yet not even halfway no don't give up you're doing great I just think you're starting to doubt yourself and that's it surpassing your ability to really get stuck in I'm not doubting myself I'm doubting the sanity of doing this after only 20 minutes Leah is done Do you want another one while I work on this?

I absolutely have a dessert menu, oh dear, but Michael is still halfway through the monster burger and starting to feel the effects. Oh God, I'm sorry, I'm back. Sorry, someone's coming again. Hmm, you do very well, although yes, I'm going to grind. a hole this is such a stupid idea I wonder if I'm going to die doing this you're not going to hate that it's written on my grave he died for a hamburger what weight either I'm afraid I'm not going to go to finish that, but I'm going to finish that, so I'm going to have to get it all in at once, go ahead, then, okay, and let's go for it, yeah, that's it, yeah, this approach should have been your The first one is okay, there's a little bite left.

I was very surprised at how terrible it made me feel. Michael managed to eat over 5,000 calories in one sitting, so what has it done to his body? His heart rate has increased, which shows how hard his body is working, probably somewhat. panic too, I don't know, I look flushed, I definitely look a little flushed, yes, my temperature has gone up from 36 to 36.7, but the most serious thing is that his blood fats have more than doubled during the meal, What that suggests is that I'm going to drop dead. of a heart attack or stroke, but I hope not this afternoon, my goodness, also the ultrasound shows that this food has temporarily reduced the elasticity of the walls of his arteries.

Studies have shown that the risk of a heart attack increases in less than two hours after eating a mega meal. So, of course, for those of you who prefer to keep your gluttony behind closed doors, it has never been easier for the mountain of meat to come to you. Delivery of some of the most popular fast foods has increased by 73 in the last decade, fueling our consumption. Even more concerned about rising levels of obesity in Britain, Parliament is considering a radical new solution that reduces fast food portion sizes Tonight, Peters hopped on his bike to test the reaction of some food lovers quickly to the new suggested meal sizes.

I don't know where I'm going. I have my maps, but you know I'm from Australia. This is a terrible delivery. Hello, hello, yes, do you mind if I join you for dinner? No, let's do it. The neldas order takeout. about twice a week, which is about the national average, I have your food, what you don't know yet is that Peter has reduced tonight's dinner to the new proposed portion sizes, go ahead guys, that's not enough, is it? would they be full with that? No, actually, these reduced portions reflect the recommended calorie intake for dinner. They say this is actually all you need without touching the sides.

Yes, we usually eat a double burger with a little bacon and way more fries than he likes. pizza yeah, oh it's like Christmas, open it, why are you laughing? I was expecting a whole pizza. There has been talk of trying to reduce the number of calories people have in each meal. I just ordered two pizzas each, that's exactly the calorie limit. It's just an idea being suggested to tackle the obesity crisis, we'd all still be hungry but as long as we're still in love with our favourites, the solution could be a long way off, thanks Peter, bye guys, bye North London, the blood high of tessa.

The pressure does not improve, it puts her in immediate danger and Dr. Abud makes the final decision. It's quite worrying because that could put you at risk for a stroke, since you're 62, there's no guarantee it won't go up. again and I would really recommend that you stop eating junk food this is the best way forward yes you are absolutely right thank you bye well there you go and then there were three in the third and final week of The Experiment junk food has started in London. Peter is delivering pizza supplies to his colleague in parliament to keep things going.

Is there? Alright? How can I enter? So I have bad dreams the first week. I've had my dreams this week. then I realized that it's cheese, there must be some truth in the saying that cheese gives you nightmares because I haven't had nightmares during chicken week, but there's no cheese during chicken week, I've reached my limit and Dean I'm still going despite three weeks of overeating Peter is still enjoying his fast food I'm still smiling I'm still feeling good I think the bumpers, yeah, but do you have a reason or do you just think I'm crazy? um, you just think yeah, great, concerned about the possible addictive nature of highly processed foods Michael is sending Peter to brain expert Dr.

Tony Goldstone at Imperial College London. I am very excited. I think it's going to be very interesting and I need to get started. What we do is bring people. We put them in the MRI scanner and take scans of their brain when they look at different types of food on a screen. The research of dr. Goldstone has discovered that junk food activates the same brain circuits as addictive substances like drugs and alcohol, bits of the brain. The brain that lights up is the reward centers in the brain. Now these are the exact same parts of the brain that would respond if you were someone dependent on alcohol and show a piece of alcohol if you were a cocaine addict and show pictures of cocaine dr.

Goldstone believes that the seemingly addictive nature of junk food could help explain why many of us overeat to the point of obesity to see if this is what is happening. Peter will be shown images of high calorie junk food and low calorie healthy food. The MRI will measure how your brain reacts to both outcomes and will then be compared to those of obese overeaters with established addictive tendencies toward junk food. This is a graph that shows how muchactivation there is in the brain when people look at high calorie foods or low calorie foods, the black dots, there are about 45 people who are obese and you can see that for high calorie foods, peter is the second highest among those people, so he even has more activation than the vast majority of obese people, and some of these people were actually obese.

Peter's results suggest that his brain may have been programmed to crave junk food. A recent study has suggested that eating fast food regularly can actually rewire our brains to crave it even more, so if you eat it regularly as a lifestyle, you can well, I start to become dependent on it, what really surprises me is That I feel great while junk food gives Peter a great hunter. Shawn is far from the best at his game, as Dark Destroyer Sean prides himself on his mastery of general knowledge and crushes regularly. everyone attending your local contest tonight should be a walk in the park german composer hans zimmer has won only one oscar for disney's 1994 animated film but after 17 days of overeating junk food he's once again struggling oh , I like it, I thought it was thanks, you know what I thought it wasn't, eh, Sean, what is the name of the audio phenomenon in which the output of the speaker is picked up by a microphone and amplified further, resulting in squeaks or loud unwanted squeaks, white noise, well there were a couple of questions.

I got lost here, which should have ended with the feedback question I should have received and the lion king one. I thought it was a lion king, but I thought it was a boring plane, just feel it like that. It's like, oh, what's his name? Back in Westminster, MP Nadine Doris is on day 19 of the junk food diet and is in pizza purgatory. It's 4 in the morning. I have very bad indigestion and I'm starving. It's hard to break down pizza. Stain. You were left like a lump and then you starve. very quickly and at this point I will come back and sleep around six and then feel terrible.

Nadine has always had a cordial relationship with our bathroom, but this diet has definitely led to the outbreak of hostilities. I keep getting these really strong muffins. my stomach and they are not like the crumbs that go to the bathroom, they are higher up and are like very sharp pains, like shooting, that appear quickly before the experiment began. Nadine's poop sample showed a healthy intestine three weeks later. and nadine has given us another sample anywhere here please, which is being analyzed by a leading digestive health specialist at imperial college london. We have these passengers that we carry with us and these are the microbes, the bacteria, the viruses, the little fungi that live in and In us, most of them live in the intestine.

Each of us has up to two kilos of bacteria living in our intestines and we have trillions of them. About a hundred trillion use the fiber in our diet to produce chemicals that keep us healthy. What might almost three weeks of bingeing on low-fiber junk food have done to Nadine's once-good gut bacteria? So Julian, do you have my results? Yes, I have been reviewing them comparing them to what we had before and I have to say. which are quite striking there is a measure of inflammation in the intestine and that has gone from zero to a very high protein called cow protection, it is one that we would use to measure if people had inflammatory bowel disease and their levels increased enormously, it really has shot and if I didn't know you didn't have inflammatory bowel disease.

I'll tell you to go to your GP for a bowel exam in just under three weeks. The junk food diet has taken its toll on Nadine. It has become so strong that her bacteria levels now look like this. From someone with a really bad gut disease, maybe you've caused quite a bit of damage to your gut by following this diet, okay, but what this would do would be that you would inflame your gut, you might increase your risk of colorectal cancer, you might damage your gut. . leaky, which means your liver becomes exposed to compounds and chemicals that are harmful to your heart and your kidneys can become exposed to compounds and chemicals that are also harmful to them, so in the long term this could have had a serious impact on your general health. that's a bit shocking to me to be honest I'm totally wrong about that I will never eat junk food again finally after almost three weeks even our junk food addict got fed up last night that pizza was one of the Lo Best I've ever had in my life, it's so good, but it killed me.

My stomach is not happy at all and now the idea of ​​having to eat pizza, Peter, is normally ridiculously cheerful, but now he finds that when he needs his energy, he runs out of energy. fight today obviously the show must go on you have to smile but normally I'm very animated and I feel a bit flat if I was performing tonight I really would have struggled clearly it's having an effect on me today the experiment has just one more day to run but it's not over yet as our junk food addicts go cold turkey I have the worst headache bloated uncomfortable I felt better when I was on it delicious huh, the junk food experiment has come to an end end after 21 days of overeating dr.

Michael Mosley started with six brave lab rats but only three toughest ones were left standing, how strange it came, this is the day after fast food, I have the worst headache, bloated, uncomfortable, just incredible. I felt better when I was in this and Peter is not the only one who has suddenly gone cold. I think I've gone through some kind of withdrawal. I am literally covered in perspiration. I'm shaking, even my scalp is wet. Can. Keep my hands to yourself, Chaser, Sean has more than just withdrawal to worry about, although earlier in the experiment, lack of sleep warned Sean that he risked developing a potentially serious condition, sleep apnea, from eating food. scrap. asked Dr Ian Smith from Papworth Hospital. who used a sleep monitor during the experiment managed to get his results good, well these blue lines are where you have a pause in your breathing of 10 seconds or more, that's apnea, that's the technical term for this, this red line measures air flow and here you are breathing and then you stop and here you are breathing and then you stop the results are not good, they show that Shawn stops breathing for at least 10 seconds several times a night and they compare his previous results in the experiment The Dr.

Smith believes it is the junk food that made it so bad that he went from not having sleep apnea to now having it in this follow-up. The number of drops in his oxygen level per hour was about double what it was before. This process has gotten worse in terms of the junk food I've been on, yes, yes, 21 days of overeating junk food has given Shaun full-blown sleep apnea. Having this condition now could increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Today it's junk food. that's the dark destroyer, we now have the full medical results for the three remaining guinea pigs, and as they head back to Harley Street for a final weigh-in, Michael assesses the damage of the experiment, so what I have here are the results of all the tests we did. did and wow, what the junk food diet has done in a surprisingly short period of time has completely wrecked their bodies.

MRI scans performed on Peter revealed that his brain could, in fact, be programmed to crave junk food, so it should come as no surprise that he managed to get the most weighing 3.4 kilograms, which is half a stone, which is half a stone, worryingly, his waist size has barely increased, suggesting that the extra weight has accumulated internally, that fat, the extra fat is the fat around his organs, is what causes the most damage at a level healthy. there's about eight percent fat in the liver with Peter, it could be up to 30 now it's not because of the alcohol because I don't drink.

I never thought it was possible that food could be causing that kind of damage and clearly it is if he had continued down this path then I have no doubt it would have led to liver failure. Harass the dean because we started with three women and stayed with one. Hi Nadine, how are you? The interesting thing about it is the impact I think on your microbiome your gut bacteria in the middle of your girth and I know you had to go and buy a bigger one, yeah well it's gone up two inches, your gut's not happy, your colon It's distended, so that gives you that extra girth, so I think she'll be really glad to get off this regimen.

Shawn entered the experiment as a self-confessed junk food addict who thought he had a get-out-of-jail-free card. Sean is a very fit guy, he works out a lot and I imagine he thinks he's keeping up. things are in check and it's not exercise is great, but you can't outrun a bad guy. Shawn's fast food life and family history meant he was already dangerously close to diabetes and the last three weeks hadn't really helped the diabetes trial we started. at 40 it has risen to 41, which is not a good indication, if we reach 42, the level means drastic measures to prevent you from having diabetes, your average blood glucose levels should be between 20 and 42, if it exceeds the pre-diabetic level at 41 years old, Shawn is a breath away, he has to do something now, otherwise he will undoubtedly be a type 2 diabetic within a decade after 21 days in this experiment.

Shawn is now borderline prediabetic and has sleep apnea, which are both potentially fatal conditions, I think the huge toll has been the fact that they haven't gained much weight, so a lot of the damage that's been happening hasn't happened. has been visible; In reality, it is happening internally, it is because we have been able to. To do this whole variety of tests on them, we know what is happening to them, the scale, the speed, the impact on their bodies was much more devastating than anyone would have thought possible in such a short period of time. We've invited Hayley and Tessa to join our guinea pigs for some well-deserved TLC while dietician Michael puts them on the road to recovery.

Well done, you made it, what do we think you really like? You said anxiously, “I love tomatoes.” Scientific studies have suggested that a diet composed of leafy greens, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, unrefined carbohydrates, and simple proteins such as those found in fish, can address the harm caused by junk food. Tessa, the main thing was that your blood pressure went up to 180 over 190. I mean, I've seen it. People die with blood pressure like that, but I never expected that from day one, going into a downward spiral, yeah, I thought, I'm not actually telling you how much pain I'm in and I'm hiding it, I have a history of diabetes in my family and I never thought that given the level of exercise I do that I would be even remotely close to getting type 2 diabetes.

I mean, I have the same thing my father died of diabetes-related illnesses that I discovered six years ago. that he was a type 2 diabetic but I did something about it, I reversed it, I'm completely fine, but this is the time, yeah, I'm very confident, if you eat this, you're going to see some pretty dramatic changes, so bon appetit, right? all ready, we all have one for all and all for one, yes what I didn't realize was that you could have some of the acute problems as a result of eating junk food without gaining weight, that was a revelation.

The damage that could occur is quite extraordinary and has given me something of a wake-up call. One thing this has taught me is to never eat junk food again.
