#1 Georgie Scotney

This 21 years old decided to get help, after 3 years of eating nothing, but only KFC

According to Metro, She was suffering from ARFID - Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, While Metro reports the illness as Restrictive Eating Disorder, America's foremost psychiatric manual has since renamed the illness in an attempt to more accurately describe it.

People suffering from ARFID, might not like certain foods because of their appearance.

According to the manual, DSM-V They have a "persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and/or energy needs,"

In her growing age, she would only eat KFC, and gradually she became more specific in eating, and for past 3 years she's only eaten toast with KFC (specific items)

She said, nearly every day, she would order KFC boneless chicken strips or popcorn chicken and fries for lunch. She'd skip dinner, and occasionally eat some toast for breakfast.

She was planning a trip with her boyfriend and realized that she might not be able to find any location of KFC while travelling, at this point, she decided to visit some professional seeking help.

A hypnotherapy session reportedly resulted in what Scotney calls an "instant" change.

However, Scotney is pleased with the results of her single hypnotherapy session thus far.

"Never in my life had I eaten any fruit or veg and I've even managed to try a roast dinner now," she told Metro. "I can't believe that I missed out on so much."
