Addicted To Burgers And Bacon | FULL EPISODE | Freaky Eaters 

I was shocked to know she's only 29 years old. I thought she was on her late 40s in the thumbnail.

the fact that they made her try a raw mushroom. A RAW MUSHROOM. of all the vegetables to eat raw.

What a horrible "therapist" brushing over her telling her story. It's an honor listening to something vulnerable like that.

This girl was the most willing person I’ve ever seen, everyone in this show let her down.

It hurts hearing her fiancé say he wishes he could go to a restaurant and not be ashamed. Wow! Not embarrassed, ashamed. And saying it’s easy to go out and get someone else. Dude, you’re one foot out the door already!

i feel like they always have them try raw ass uncooked unseasoned vegetables... setting them up for failure there. *edit* yes raw veggies are delish, im just saying that cooking them and adding a little bit of flavor would probably be more appealing to someone like this

Wow I really feel sorry for Niquita here. Her lack of support system is sad to see, she must feel so alone, the comment her fiance made about how easy it is for him to go out and get somebody else, I’d be dumping him there and then, I’m not going to stay with someone who’s gonna make me feel like an option. Her mum isn’t any better, not even praising her for taking a couple of bites of a salad that she ordered, At least she tried it and didn’t spit it out, also why is a psychologist who is supposed to be an expert tell somebody to just get over their trauma? I’m sorry but someone qualified in psychology should know better than to tell someone that. All of them put together did a terrible job with her. I hope she’s doing okay now

This episode seemed incredibly toxic. Her partner, mum and the therapist seemed to approach it in such an awful way. She clearly wanted the help and to change but the way it was done was insane. that hair stylist did an awful job of her hair as well

TWENTY NINE? She looks 50

The fact the "psychologist" is brushing off Niquita's trauma is horrible. I hope she's much happier and better now

She needs therapy for what happened to her. She can't even talk to her family and friends because they're so toxic and unsupportive Smoked salmon on her first test as well. I've deadass seen these people give a woman 5 different colour chips to ease her in and they decided give this woman smoked salmon. Crazy

She is so cooperative and lovely...her mom and the boyfriend on the other hand, totally unsupportive...I hope she is healthy and happy now...

I think her support system is the problem, not her. She's the most willing person I've seen on this show.

They made it seem like she needs to do this for them instead of herself. They were unsupportive and the bf was a nightmare. And they pushed her trauma to the side and basically said to get over it. She was almost murdered in an experience that barely anyone ever went through and got out alive or okay. She’s strong as a person for trying and pushing herself to get better but the support around her and from the show was horrible.

I can't even imagine getting hit in the head/face with a brick when I was 15. No question, I would have developed some form of coping method. So I totally understand this lovely woman's struggles. They are so much greater than my own. I do hope she found more support and empathy.

You'd think this woman murdered someone from the opinions her family have of her. Bullying and shaming a trauma victim will not resolve the issue. What this lady needs is unconditional acceptance, love and new therapists.

this show is so sensational. Rather than ease her into foods they give her raw vegetables with no dressings and unsweetened plain yogurt. Next they try her on very strong flavours that many people do not like.

Her fiancé does not seem to truly love her. Within the first few minutes of this episode he stated he wanted to leave and go find someone else... She needs unconditional love and support, not judgement.

Her fiance is so lacking in empathy. Saying it's not hard when clearly it is for her. She could do better

Throwing her in front of a crowd singing Celine Dion is insane! Congrats gal!!!

They did a god awful job with this poor woman. Just telling her to 'get over' her trauma, the mother victim blaming her own daughter for her attack and 'wanting her old Nikita back' the boyfriend getting irritated with her for struggling with the potato, and the enforced singing performance. So much of this was done so badly, and I wouldn't be surprised if the poor woman was even more traumatised when it comes to food by the end of it. Every person in her life is making her trauma about them, how it makes them feel and putting all of that on her to fix for THEM not for herself. The pressure and the fear of letting them down is the main driver here, not getting well for her own health and benefit. The 'psychologist' never calls this out. This honestly made me so ragey.

They handled her badly. She needs to be taken to the other pair of psychologists 🥺

I was pleased when finally they used a chef to show her how to cook healthy foods that taste good. No one likes boiled broccoli on its own. I wonder how her diet was when she was younger? Was she introduced to all these foods? I understand that trauma caused most of this but it does make me wonder what her diet was like as she was growing up. Good to see a very supportive partner.

How could they just put her on stage like that?? no prep no rehearsal... man I hope shes doing well, shes such a wonderful being. She deserves so much more than the ppl shes surrounded by.

The psychologist was SO bad he literally chuckled and stopped her when she was crying (12:24) and one of his only goals was for her to "get over it"

She seems like a sweet girl, I hope she's doing well these days and leading a healthy life! x

Having grown up as a “freaky eater” myself, I can absolutely relate to this exact episode and her experience with food down to a T. The reason I believe she was able to overcome and stomach the food when she finally cooked it herself is it was a massive step in KNOWING what’s in the food. It removes the fear of the unknown, which causes most of the gag reflex , honestly I had the exact same thing. I basically trained myself for a year to get over it but I could never eta out, I was always picking at my food, would always go hungry, never ate any veg it was a very similar situation. She did amazing.

The therapist was so unhelpful when she brought up such a sensitive traumatic experience.

Instead of throwing away all that food, they should ask the participants to donate it to homeless shelters and other needy causes.... same with all the food they make to show the people how much they eat in a year. Throwing away all those canned goods seems like a real waste. Move past your fears and help someone else at the same time

The two girls that hit her with a brick have some serious problems

I feel so bad for her. This had to be really tough for her to go through emotionally.. let alone on television! Wish her well!

Why wouldn’t they start introducing easier foods such as orange sections, strawberries, FLAVORED yogurt to begin, baby carrots, jello, roast beef (still beef but we’re working toward learning to accept new tastes), baked potato with butter and cheddar cheese (instead of cottage cheese), toast with jam, scrambled egg with cheese, broccoli with cheese sauce, etc. Slowly move toward other foods. Starting with mushrooms, cauliflower, CHARD WITH HAZELNUTS???? I doubt many “normal” eaters would like some of the offerings they started her with. 😢

She looks just as old as her mother that's sad and scary ...but she's still young she can turn her life around for the better

Wanna try te eat vegetables? Her : tries raw mushroom.. .-. I mean at least put some spices, herbes..

I really felt for her during that cafe scene with her Mum. I know that pain of feeling like nothing you do is good enough, its like well whats the point in trying :'( Her Mum didn't think before she spoke, saying "you're just playing with it now" isnt going to encourage her, its just going to make her self conscious. She did so good even just ordering that chicken salad! To take a good few bites and not gag or spit it out was so amazing, she should be so proud of her cause I am

I have a similar eating problem. My diet isn't as restricted as hers, but I do have the 'I can't eat that without being sick' mentality about certain foods. It makes life really hard sometimes. I'll watch the people around me happily eating pastas or turkey sandwiches or certain vegetables, but if I try to eat them, sometimes I can't even make myself put them in my mouth without instantly feeling like I'm going to throw up. Life feels pretty hopeless because of it sometimes. Especially when all you have left in the house to eat is a can of potted meat, dry bread, and a few condiments. Then, I feel ashamed of myself, because I know those few items would be a blessing to SO many people, but here I am dreading eating them. I remember one Thanksgiving my family was out of town while I was house sitting for them, and the neighbors invited me to join them for their Thanksgiving dinner because they didn't want me to spend Thanksgiving alone, and I cried for three days before the holiday because I was so worried and stressed out about not being able to eat anything they served and hurting someone's feelings. Went well, in the end, though. I ate very little, which no one seemed to notice. It was a nice evening with a wonderful family... My biggest issue with nutritionists is how wasteful they are. They always tell you to throw away sometimes hundreds of dollars worth of perfectly good food while there are people out there who would literally kill to have that can of beans you just threw away. Like, wtf? Are you people willfully blind to the struggles of those who truly have nothing? For god's sake, they could at least get some volunteers to take the food to shelters instead of just having people throw it in the trash. It's just so willfully ignorant to the plight of people who genuinely do NEED that food. They're just spitting in people's eyes when they tell you to throw away good food. They could stock entire charities with the food that just goes into landfills. I have homeless friends who only get to eat if the local dumpsters have enough food in them, and it's hard to see what they go through just to get one decent meal a week. Also, a word of encouragement from a former shy person to other people with confidence problems: Always be you, loud and proud as you'd like. If someone doesn't like it, they're clearly not someone who's meant to be in your life, and that's better than ok, because you should surround yourself with as many people who DO like it as you possibly can. You don't like something someone else likes? That's fine for them, they can have it, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. That's just you doing your own thing to be happy, and if someone doesn't want you to be happy, they're not worth your energy or the perks that come with knowing and accepting you.

What about a veggie burger on a wheat bun with veggie? Doesn’t seem this show tries to recreate a healthy version of what the person likes. Just a thought. I enjoyed watching. Cheers

She looks really old. Oh man so scary what wrong food could do to u.

i wish her all the best. getting better, happier and healthier. sending the woman lots of love

I know this was 4 years ago. It made me cry when she came back on stage to sing. So proud of you!!

Oh jeez...the Story she told about being beat up is really really horrible..that was hard to listen to

No matter what the food fetishes, the participants always eat chips. The food waste on this program is criminal, especially in a country that has to import food.

I truly feel for this girl. She tried so hard, with really little to no support.

I cant believe they threw canned food in the bin!

The boyfriend loves himself so much, if he was a bar of chocolate he’d eat himself

I think it was kind of mean surprising her with making her randomly sing in front of an audience without preparation. She hadn't done it in eight years. They could have at least given her time to prep..

She was very sweet. Horrible trauma and not great support from her family 😢

Geez they really challenge the poor girl (and she seems lovely) …I was surprised with natural yoghurt, which I eat but also know it can be challenging as it’s sour and a certain texture. Then with the tapas they give her chard and then olives. Neither of these are easy foods for someone trying to adjust 😮

How her boyfriend acted was out of order when they had their meal together. "It's not that hard" "I don't really like it but I ate it!", he really doesn't understand her issues with food and how to support her. It's like when people with depression are told to just "cheer up".

this show annoys me! food waste is terrible why throw tinned food away!?? then the people act like fruit and veg are poisonous

I have found that cooking my foods make me more open to trying things. Having an understanding of whats in m food makes it less scary

Gout is no joke, my boyfriend gets flare ups and at times he can hardly walk. Thankfully he’s started eating better and it has helped tremendously.

Throw all that food in the bin??? Why not donate to a food bank or soup kitchen? So wasteful 🤦‍♀️

Talking about hard trauma, gets cuts off 😑

They’re making her try raw flavourless vegetables and expect her to incorporate that into her diet when she already doesn’t eat vegetables 🤦🏾‍♀️ horrible exposure therapy

Facing your fears so head on is incredibly brave. Well done.

This women needs a HUG!! At least hold her hand I can't imagine the trauma she's had to live through.

To be fair that chicken salad she had for lunch with her mum looks grim. dry and tasteless!

Wow they're so horrible to the poor girl. Toxic people surround her 😢

It’s kinda sad that everyone’s dissing her for how she looks

Who the heck eats raw mushrooms?

What an absolutely sad time Nikita went through all of those years. Her mum and beautiful partner Matthew by her side through it all. I applaude her for staying positive and getting through the months experience. Wishing her lots of love in the future. A great documentary, well done .Nikita xxx❤️💙❤️😘🤗🥰

To the boyfriend she's trying her absolute hardest and she's doing amazing she deserves better.

That food specialist is EVIL, how do you go from bacon for 10 years straight to raw fish.... -.-

Why can’t the boyfriend take her to the gym and work out with her? He seems to know a thing or two about fitness and the nutrition that goes with it. She’s not that big to begin with...

I really hope she's ok... does anyone know of an update?

I would have cried if my s.o. walked away from the table like that and said I was ridiculous He was so rude to her😢

I think everyone has been so hard in her. She has genuinely been trying and made an effort. I would be in tears if my family called me fat. And who the hell wants to be stared at while you are eating??? That would put anyone off!

I always watch these thinking I'm in for a lighthearted clip of some wacky eating and then 40 minutes in I'm tearing up because I'm so proud of someone for overcoming their fears and taking control of their life

Cant believe they gave her RAW FISH when she has a problem with different foods WTF, even people who doesnt have this problems struggle eating sushi, some people hate it

That therapist shut her down the moment she started sharing trauma. That poor girl! I hope she is doing better now.

wow her mum was so unsupportive and salty. my heart goes out to this gal

Wtf...did her psychologist just...giggle... at her trauma? 12:25

Bf is a red flag "it'd be easier to leave her" rather than help her?!

Wow! Fantastic! She did a great job!

What happened to her at 15 was bloody awful to hear! Bless her heart! Wtf is wrong with people! 😔 I hope she’s okay today ❤️

Omg the singing thing was so cruel! As a performer you cant do that to someone who hasn't done it for ages, let alone not practised.

The mother is a piece of work.

Great job Nikita ❤

"She changhed so much in the past 15 years" Oh my God, it's almost as if she's aging!

This poor woman 🥺 That “fiancé” is already half way out the door. She needs a friend and a support system. Those experts on this episode were ridiculous. That “intervention” film was ghastly! Omg.

😂😂😂 the yogurt does me in too doll! The first bite of every yogurt I have to remind myself that I like it so I can get over the tang.

Ugh, I hope she dumped that awful boyfriend! No “I want her to get better”, or “I’m worried about her”, it’s “I’d like to go out and not be ashamed”…he only cares about himself, disgusting!

i feel so bad for her she was trying so hard but these "experts" and her family were so incredibly unhelpful!!

These people deserve more than raw unseasoned fruits and vegetables. Give them a meal

Forget her weight (I understand this carries its own separate health concerns) but in general - how has her body sustained itself? Would love a nutritionist to weigh in. I know the body perseveres in survival mode but NO fiber?? At all?? No other source of nutrients than meat and white bread?? This is insane to me

The Spanish tapas is too advanced for her - new flavor combinations too soon. Not sure why they’re insisting she finish her meal.

It would be nice if they re-did the bloodwork after 6 weeks, or 6 months to see how they've improved. I love how positive this girl is about the experience, especially given her trauma. Also, props to the BF when she was trying the porridge. He looked so happy for her.

Omgd. Girl, you are amazing. It's the support that you are missing from both your family & boyfriend. It's crazy to me how her loved ones are so NOT supportive. You go girl. And you did a lot of progress. Don't do it for other people, just do it for yourself. You are lovely. And you deserve the best.

I don't understand why they don't give the addict well seasoned, properly cooked food. She threw a potato in the microwave and sloped some cottage cheese on it of course it's got to be hard to stomach lol

She shouldn't have been interrupted while she was vulnerable in sharing what was told to her and done to her. It wasn't as important for him to have a response as it was for her to get it out!! What she went through was traumatic. She needed to vent all of that pain. NEVER interrupt someone sharing their pain and past. Let them heal in anyway that they need too! As long as it doesn't cause harm to themselves or others

No one is ever addicted to vegetables and fruit. 😂😂

A young woman who was brutally attacked as she was was emotionally stalled at that age. "Getting over" the attack is not so simple and does take time and importantly HELP from family. I sense Mom did some nurturing but didn't understand this changed her daughter. Allowing her to change and not be Mama's little girl would have kept her from being locked in for so long. Hopefully she continued growing after this big push.

I’m proud of her!!!

Aww was heartbreaking that video bless her hope it all worked out well for her

7:46 If you add up even a normal diet over 1095 meals, it would look horrendous displayed like that.

I truly believe giving someone fish to try when you're trying to deal with a food addiction is the absolute worst thing to give someone

Ps..shes not like big as a house geesh! Shes a beautiful woman needing help to overcome a barrier.Be kind!!We ALL have something we could work on or change or wait to lose or need to gain

Not the snippet of her story while they play circus music in the back 😂😂

Child abuse kills souls.
