The differences between the two are mental because Ed’s are mental illnesses. What makes them different is someone’s relationship with food and with weight. It’s also not about physical health because crash diets are unhealthy as well and Ed’s can sometimes have horrible health consequences but thats not a requirement what they do all share in common is the horrible mental consequences

I think particularly conferring the rise in ed's in the uk in the last year even there should be some education on what an unhealthy relationship with food can look like warning signs of this and sustainable nutrition advice so the many teenagers who may fall into ed's due to a decision to get fit can avoid them.

There was a story about how in Hong Kong, a popular girls magazine wrote about an American girl suffering from bulimia. Within months, suddenly there was an epidemic of young girls with rapid onset eating disorders. The over-pathologising of the human condition has undoubtedly been a negative for society, there should be sensible advice on nutrition for kids but spreading 'awareness' about mental health and eating disorders just leads to more sick kids.

I understand your point that education on eating disorders is a different thing and I agree that sometimes “education” particularly accounts from people who had a eating disorder can just end up inspiring more of them and providing “tools” to further them but I also know that if my future self had told my younger self a bit about just how harmful and ineffective my disordered eating would be I would never have done that because while I knew what I was getting into was an Ed to begin with however I thought that the single consequence would be not getting to eat the food I enjoyed.

    Ages 19-22 I had a severe eating disorder. I went from 10 stone to 7 stone in 3 months (bare in mind in 5ft 8) and I worked out 4 hours a day at the gym, was on my feet for 10 hours a day at work then I would walk 4 miles home every. Single. Day. Not to mention I was terrified of food. I felt so much hatred and so disgusting every time I ate. Man I hated my life so much then I’m so so glad I’m out of that phase of my life. I’m 30 now with 2 kids and I could never imagine them treating their body that way

    I went from 227 in September of 2020 to 164 by June 2021. Best advice: meal prep (or at least know what you’re going to eat that day so you’re not winging it when you’re starving), weigh yourself every morning, take a progress picture once a month, have a cheat meal once a week (every Saturday for me), and most importantly: enjoy what you eat.

Counting calories and macros, getting good sleep, weightlifting on top of an hour of cardio every day ( ran/ walked 5 miles in 70 min the other day woohoo) and with all of this I find losing weight insanely hard. Yes my volume when training has gone up a lot, and I can withstand way more work and weight, so I am def getting stronger, but I am also addicted to weighing myself everyday, and when I don't see that numberr go down, or instead go up in the mornings, it destorys me... Thanks for making this video, going to try and learn as much as I can from it, and keep trying.

A weight loss 'journey' is such a weird thing for me now in my late 30s, as my teens were made up of as little food as I could eat / get away with no one noticing. Doing a 48 hour fast that I kind of 'fell' into, and it brings back a lot of those reminders / feelings. I've been on a medically-recommended 800 calorie a day Huel diet 5 days a week for 11 weeks. I'm below 180lb for the first time in a decade, but I can so easily fall into the mindset of "not enough, not enough". Grateful for you showing that you could've lost the weight in a more healthy way. Thank you for sharing your story.

    I did almost exactly the same things you did on my own weight loss journey two years ago. I cut out most of my food, especially the carbs, and ate almost nothing. Coffee always kept me away from eating. I went from 85kg to only 55kg in a bit more than a year completely without doing any sports or exercise. I was massively underweight but still not happy with my body. I put on a few kilos the year after but didn't change any of my exercise habits. That all changed about four months ago. I went on my first ever run and got a gym membership. I now train nearly every day, am able to run a half marathon in decent time and changed the way I look at food. All of that helped me gain about 15 Kilos in the last 12 months, mostly muscles. All of that being said, our journeys are incredibly similar and you are a great idol of mine.

    Interestingly, I had a similar story, but in my late 30's. I restricted calories and ran. I ran my arse off and over a course of a year and a half I lost 140lb. For 5yrs I ran on avg 8 miles a day. While I did add strength training two days a week I didn't focus as much on strength as I should have. I also got lazy on my diet because I was burning so many calories from running that I let running be the dictator on how much I eat. Sadly, I tore my Achillies and also hurt my lower back in a strength training incident that drastically reduced my ability to work out. My diet was so bad and along with age now a year shy of 50 I am back up 80lb and struggling. Looking back I wish I talked to a nutritionist and hired a coach to help me with a lifestyle change and guide me on how to properly work out. I am doing that now, but I wish I did it earlier.

Women (especially shorter than 5'5'') tend to have a TDEE of 1800 so slashing 1000 kcal would leave them with 800kcal to eat.

I wouldn't even eat carrots because they had too much sugar. I then passed out after one drink at a party because I hadn't eaten, and went on a spiral and very quickly gained all the weight back. I always think of that sad girl and all the life she missed out on. Thanks to you and Pamela Reif I have been at a stable weight for 2 years now, which is a huge milestone for me.

Even with not being interested in fitness, your personality is amazing and entertaining. The low key, witty, tounge in cheek jokes you throw out remind me of Bo Burnham. Thank you for being a humble inspiration for others who need it.

    Your videos are always motivational Will. I am sidelined for about six weeks from an upcoming surgery on the 25th and I was so damn depressed and feeling useless with my restrictions. I knew it would be difficult of course but the inspiration from your videos makes the time a little easier to stay on track with diet and what little bit that I can do. Thanks for the great content as always!

    It started with the leanbeefpatty collab but then I watched a shit ton more vids and I'm loving it. The humor is so refreshing.

    I love this dude. He’s so funny, very humble, knowledgeable and entertaining to watch. Does he have a video on strictly weight loss? For the ladies?
