Not a red flag. I'd do the same to my partner. I lost a parent because of bad dietary issues, and my remaining parent is ill as well. I do all I can to not become that and turn into a burden, I expect the same back. To me, being fit and healthy is a sign of mutual respect.
@@PickMe_Stay ok I understand that but if you are with someone it mean when it’s bad you help them, you don’t leave them right?
@balancedbyanav A person doesn't wake up fat by eating unhealthily once or skipping the gym for a week. It is a relatively slow process when you start from a fit place. My reasoning is that I would've already commented and/or tried to help. If it got to the point of me leaving, I would have already exhausted all of my patience and expressed my concerns. I would be justified in leaving.
@@PickMe_Stay ❤️
Huge red flag! 🚩🚩🚩There are 100 reasons to gain weight and often it doesn’t mean you become unhealthy! I mean he is right: the person is not the same person anymore. But that’s life people change for worse but also for the better. Gaining some weight can be both or even neutral. Neither you nor me are the same person we were last year or even one month before. If you’re not up to your partner changing over the time of your relationship you shouldn’t start one in the first place! 💁🏼 An other concerning thing is: how is he going to decide if there partner is “letting them self go” or if they are in chronic stress, a bad mental place, having an undiagnosed medical condition or anything else, that could make them gain weight unwanted? If you’re not up for your partners bad times you do not deserve them at there good times! 🥺
❤I agree and I am also thinking when you met that person she was also in a “phase” with the exercise and healthy eating etc… the expectation that nothing will change is concerning for me and puts pressure on the partner.
Not a red flag. The person is honest. They should take is as a warning and run 😂
@@goodmorningfrommt well when you put it like that 🤷♀️😂
‘stop craving ‘thinness;’ this is something that I have forgotten to do….
It’s not easy I get it because we are prone to think that thinner is better ❤
I have a couple rules when I comment on others videos. Such as commenting here. My top rule is to NEVER EVER post anything NEGATIVE about someone’s appearance or eating habits. Ever…. There’s enough negativity in this world why fuel it. If they asked for people to comment on those type of things well they open the door for all kinds of reactions. I refuse to attack someone. Not my life not my body and I’d rather stay more positive and just enjoy the content provided. Hope that makes sense.
@@destinyneal1904 that makes sense! Of the person didn’t ask why fuel whatever it is that could potentially come out of it?
All my favorite food

What does binge means?
@@roben187 eating a big quantities of food in one sitting
@@balancedbyanav thanks
I assume the person wants to eat healthier and cut off sugar. Weirdly enough, If it says low fat then I think they are trying to lose weight though 🤔
If I want to loses wight what is the beast diet food I can eat
@@thomasking580 for me the best diet to lose weight and keep the weight off is the one you can do for the rest of your life. For me that looks like eating when hungry stopping when full focusing on protein fibre and healthy fats hit also incorporating some Maybe less nutritiously dense foods in your diet from time to time. You need to learn how to eat all the foods in moderation. Protein and fibre is key for weight loss to keep you full and satiated
feta cheese?sorry but i dont eat those😂 also shawn baker recomended i don:t eat any dairy products so i will rely on animal lard for energy source. btw if you think he's out of his mind,the only way to believe him is try the diet yourself.
I did and I found it unsustainable to live like that for the rest of my life
@@balancedbyanav i think there's something that you haven't cut from your diet.i only eat 3 spoons of rice,a pound of meat and maybe some butter for the steak's flavors. lots of people that said this diet dont work for them is usually they still drink coffee and any other food/drink that is unecessary for the body.that might be why your body did not go to ketosis.
i also eat avocados and add some organ meats for my vitamins
and i feel like i would never need to eat veggies,fruits or eat heavy amounts of carbs.
@@sakmadik69420 ok here’s my question: do you actually enjoy it and feel like eating like that? Believe me I was carnivore and keto and in ketosis and while it was ok I thought to myself I can’t live like this forever. Maybe I was too strict which was the issue but I was not happy not being able to eat other things as well that’s all
I was using food for emotional regullation for a while. I remember using that meditation book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Harper Danies.
Yes, you either commit or you don’t. Cheat days aren’t useful for sustaining a healthy diet.
@@Lubinetsm I completely agree for me cheat days were essentially planned binges
I was using food to regulate emotions and procrastination. Harper Daniels has a mindfulness book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating that I like using sometimes for meditation.
I was using food for emotional regulation. It sucked. I liked that meditation book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Harper Daniels. Helped with my mentality of self.
thank you for speeking up and telling what I and others needed to hear.❤
@@annabelleemery2997 welcome ❤️it was a big struggle for me for 20 years to restrict and then binge and forget about the hunger cues
No, you don't have to always give out your hunger....it's just a habit
@@josefsa666 physical hunger or emotional hunger? It’s two different things or eating out of boredom or habit
Thank you
@@NaylaOelmann-w4l welcome ❤️
I had to not stressing about dieting. There was a meditation book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Harper Daniels which was helpful.

@@balancedbyanav overcoming a bad self perception
this is terrifying. can i ask where you saw the ad?
@@sam-xk8ij instagram ad! You know between stories it just popped up and many of my friends have seen it. I was honestly shocked
@@balancedbyanav it’s sad how mainstream this kind of thing has become, especially when it can now be delivered to your door with no prescription. it’s even worse to think about how many impressionable teenagers have seen it.
@@sam-xk8ij yes I don’t want to think with my own eating issues what I would have done mindlessly at the age of 17 to you know “lose a few pounds”🥹
Love your content- keep it up 🥰❤️
@@TashMotta thank you so much❤️
I’m sorry your friend and you experienced this
@@dontmindme2267 thank you. We actually had a long chat about it and it was clear that no matter how much we believe in progress, we are still stuck in fat shaming and thin privilege
@@balancedbyanav I’m overweight and I have been my in my entire life and I’m lucky to have not faced to many issues as I am and athlete in high school but it still sucks a lot
@@dontmindme2267 yes this is such a big problem, having assumptions based on someone body. I have felt both : issues in a bigger body such as you can’t be in our team but also in a thinner body people assuming I was super sporty and healthy when I actually wasn’t at all. Looks are deceiving in a lot of cases
@@balancedbyanav I remember in 3rd grade crying to my mom that this super skinny girl ate Twinkie’s everyday and I didn’t even bring a snack and I know it goes the other way as well it sucks and that people always make assumptions about people’s diets and activity levels
@@dontmindme2267 🥹 I agree which is why it’s important to spread the message to never assume anything about someone’s health based on how they look
when it works 90%.. do it 90% and if you crave the carbs.. or whatever the other 10% is you desire.. fuck it and just enjoy a nice plate of pasta or inhale that bag of chips or whatnot that bar of chocolate ;) as long you manage to do it in moderation.. its all smooth sailing! life and food is still supposed to be fun and what are those possible gains in time worth if you lost them putting yourself trough struggles and suffer for them ^^
@@RAIN_B0T that’s where the whole all or nothing and the distorted eating came to play in my case. That’s how I should have done it but I was thinking that in that case I am not “doing it right” so I cheated on keto;) and gave up on it completely which was a mistake at the time
Awareness doesn't have to be synonymous with fear. Just because i want to educate myself about what i eat and what effects it has on my body therefore being able to choose healthier options doesn't mean it is an eating disorder
Absolutely it isn’t, only when it becomes an obsession and takes over your life it becomes one but unfortunately for a lot people the line is very blurred and sometimes in the name of “healthy” the behaviour becomes distorted. Is it ok to count calories? Sure. Is it normal to refuse to go out with friends because you don’t know the calories in a restaurant? Probably not but some will say “j am not going out because I want to be in control or aware of my calories” . That behaviour long term can’t be healthy for your mental health
He’s so patient
I think so:)
True? 👍
Or just eat less. It’s food, not a therapy session. We diet and we eat.
Is it possible for people with ED to adhere to this advice though? For example binge eating is a consequence of dieting, emotional eating etc… how to just eat less ?
Can be anger and anxiety provoking. As you explain understanding and planning your own response is very useful.
yes planning is key because out of anger I used to binge!
A lot of people these days could do with 7 hours at the gym if we are being real, but these people dont want to be real. They just want to live in denial
But if it’s a mental problem which ED’s are is it still denial ?
If that's bad, wait till they find out about coke. 😊
Exactly
😢😢 you are right!
It’s possible to change ❤️
THANK YOU
Pleasure ❤️
THANK YOU BABE TEACH THESE PEOPLE HOW ED ACTUALLY WORK 👏 so sick of people having misconceptions on eds, YALL HAVE PHONES FOR A REASON USE IT TO EDUCATE YOURSELVES
Yeah this triggered me big time! If you don’t know what a binge eating disorder is educate yourself- don’t tell people you can binge but not on chocolate but on clementines!
Hear! Hear! This is one of the biggest and most impactful messages that I learned to understand through The Balance Program with Ana. Life changing.

In the summer I make my congee with rice and red lentils, plenty of grilled chicken and broccoli or selery!! Yummm bc of the rice and lentils I stay full for a long time
Yes that makes sense it’s a proper meal. When I did this cabbage soup diet it’s literally cabbaged for three meals a day!😳
I no longer do soup diets anymore. I still make soup for after a workout, full of veggies and protein but it no longer is a everyday dinner item. Dont get me wrong i love soups. But diet soups do not keep anyone full. I always binge right after
Same! Soups are great but this diet I remember I was starved and then ended up bingeing and gaining back the water weight I lost and some new pounds
Be suspicious of anything with the word “detox” that doesn’t specify the exact chemical substance it is supposed to be treating
Such a buzz word but for some reason the word detox is often associated with weightloss
I can still smell this.
Not good 🥹😂
I grew up expected to eat everything on my plate, so I developed overeating habit. The meditation book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Corin Devaso helped me with control of self image and thoughts.
I was eating too much to regulate my emotions. There was a meditation book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Harper Daniels that helped a lot.
..of course.
Of course they do or not?
Lady, a carrot doesn't taste magically amazing like a Chocolate. That's the difference between a Carrot and a Chocolate. It's not the restricting or mentality. Chocolate is just yummy and full of sugar. So it's hard to not want it
Taste is just part of it . You can want it but you don’t have to binge on it like many people don’t. Those that binge on chocolate in most cases avoid it and then on a given cheat day go all in. There is a world where one row of chocolate doesn’t turn into a full blown binge but for most people who are constantly dieting and not allowing themselves chocolate this is a mystery. They are dieting while dreaming about that chocolate and of course since they know they have one day to eat chocolate before a new round of restriction starts they eat everything in sight.
I was still over eating a lot, for emotional regulation. Might sound cliche but meditation helped a lot. The workbook called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Harper Daniels was a great resource, helped with my thoughts.
Mediation helped me a lot after giving birth but for completely different reasons. I think at stage of having a newborn it's easy with sleepless nights and if feedings to completely be in need of high caloric foods during the day. I remember being ravenous in the mornings
That’s my mom😂❤
That’s a lot of people😂
Absolutely the criticism and judgment is frightening, particularly if averse to confrontation.
I absolutely agree
