This is scarily accurate… it’s terrifying how diet culture’s “safe” list keeps getting shorter and shorter
Water is the only thing that isn’t restricted on some diet or another
@@afrosnmimosas8681 yep it's the only thing every diet agrees is healthy
Idea: most air has toxins. Buy organic bottled air! But oxygen adds fats, you don't really need it. Just don't breathe, you will be fine
& the fear mongering gets bigger & bigger
not even water is safe now that “alkaline water” is a thing
I’m so glad to hear someone call out Noom, usually you just hear positives about it but I hated the stoplight!!!!
Have you actually just heard the positives? I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody talking about it, only ads. The style and frequency of the ads are for sure designed to make you feel like everyone's talking about it and loving it!
@@harmonicaveronica and that it’s actually doing good and being different. Like stopping unhealthy eating habits is something the ads emphasised. Not cutting down. But I feel like they were lying…
I gave noom a bad review when they first came out and a lot of people attacked me in the comment section. 🤷♀️ Nice to see people are seeing the light
@@harmonicaveronicaYup! Lots of my deficit Facebook groups sing their praises but my Reddit subs are highly critical of it. I don’t use anything that labels foods as good vs bad. I’ve done quite well, down 37lbs in 11 weeks 🤷🏻♀️
@@BelgraviaTottie
As a Noom user, the app does not do that. They treat all foods as equal. They are trying to help you live a balanced life.
Noom caused my disordered eating in only a month of using. Made me feel so awful my mom had to talk me out of it she noticed how bad things were getting.
Ok my mom was on noom, and I didn't notice a disordered eating pattern. What does it encourage to have an unhealthy mindset towards food? Thank you 💙
That was MyFitnessPal for me, my whole family was using it. One day I realized how bad it made me feel and was able to make myself stop. My family shamed me, but I watched them all slowly stop using it within the week lol
@@prettysparklez1195 same! My mom started me on it and this was after I had already had a terrible relationship with food. It literally got to the point where I would avoid meals so that I could sneak in a chocolate or 2. I was definitely not eating enough, especially because I started working out for very specific amounts of time to make sure I was just “burning off the extra calories” from the day
Also, no offense but is Noon that bad? This may just be because of their ads and how into diet culture I have been in the past, but I was actually considering it. What issues did you guys see with it?
@@Montaged I think it really depends per person, I thought it was very useful for a few months as it was useful for me to kind of get a feeling of what portion sizes for me are large enough to be satisfying while still being not overly calorie heavy which I think helped me a lot considering my balance had really gone away during lockdown (not enough movement and too much snacking) BUT it does make you super calorie conscious and constantly thinking about if your food still fits in your calorie budget which in itself is already disordered eating and if you’re already prone to that it can really spiral I think. And because it also increases the amount of calories within your budget if you exercise / move more I really got into a “I need to earn my food” kind of mindset which is also not very healthy I think.
For me i think the main thing for which it was useful was learning to make some healthy switches in my regular diet but I can definitely see the downsides!
My fitness pal had me in tears, I was so hungry from the extra activity but it had me seriously under eating. I didn’t tell me to focus on protein, it told me to eat less and that all calories are the same.
Bro if u were so hungry u were crying you are officially gone insane
I'm confused cos for me my fitness pal has been really good at me eating enough (2k a day). I had to eat real food and it's okay to go over especially if you're hungry but yeah. Maybe for some activities it doesn't recognise the energy use properly.
@@doode-there's a reason they use starvation as one of the ways to try getting POWs to spill sensitive information.
dude, I went to a state trade school for people with disabilities, the dietician there, who only went off weight as her metric, put me on that shit and it tried to set me to 1.5k calories a day when my actual dietician, one I pay for and legitimately works with my fucking weird ass metabolism, has me set at 5-7k calories a day. but the trade school lady literally forced me to download and make an account with myfitnesspal in her office before shed let me leave to go to lunch
Unless I’m mistaken, MFP isn’t a diet plan, it’s just a tracker..?
Myfitnesspal had me sent down a rabbit hole where i thought i was eating enough but was actually depriving myself to the point where i was underweight, lost my period, and developed hypotension
See the thing about MyFitnessPal is that I understand it’s not for everyone but it really helped me. I was 282lbs at my highest and now I’m down to 265lbs I know it’s not that much but I started not too long ago. Keeping track of my calories and what I eat really helped me avoid mindless eating and let me focus on only eating what I actually need to not feel hungry! I know it’s not for everyone but it’s great for some! I’m on a journey to stop being obese and to help improve my health so different methods for different people! I’m 5’11ft tall if that’s relevant at all.
You got this!! You should be really proud of yourself for working towards your goal! Weight loss is never easy but you're doing great!!
Counting calories can be SUCH a helpful tool if you need to lose or gain weight to be healthier, but you're definitely right that it isn't for everyone. I think it gets dangerous if someone isn't doing a bit of extra research on what their body needs (pretty sure MyFitnessPal suggested that I eat 200-300 calories less than would be appropriate for losing weight at a healthy rate). And also, I think having strong self-confidence and/or self-acceptance is necessary to count calories in a healthy, non-obsessive way.
I'm really glad that this is helping you! I know that being overweight makes everything harder, including exercise. I'm only overweight, not obese, and I have to take my knees into consideration before choosing an exercise
The problem with it is just that it's calorie estimation is way too low.
@@sadgecat588 what do you mean? It's pretty accurate compared to most apps, and you can adjust it to what you need as well.
How is it not for everyone? If it’s healthy it would be for everyone.
The food sensitivity tests were a huge vital tool in identifying the foods that have been causing me chronic nausea, diarrhea and stomach pains my whole life. It’s actually improved my relationship with food since I’m not constantly developing new food aversions and can eat without fear of pain.
I have to stay completely away from eggs, chicken / duck, cashews and canola oil/rapeseed, and only eat small amounts of dairy, gluten, wheat, almond and soy. I would not have ever figured that out on my own, but using the sensitive test to guide a food elimination diet helped a lot. I’ve gotten really good at making a bunch of different meals and snacks so my diet is so my diet is varied, and I love that I can eat the same thing 2-3 times for the first time in my life! Woohoo! Life so so much better when your stomach feels neutral. I hadn’t experienced that before this year (and I’m 35 now). I can actually tell when I’m hungry and full for the first time ever too!
I was thinking about this when she said that. I have a number of friends who, for a number of reasons, are sensitive to certain things. I have two friends who can't eat much red meat without getting stomach issues, my mom's friend is sensitive to gluten (not celiac, but if she eats gluten her whole body gets excruciatingly achy for days), and I have other friends who are sensitive to certain dairy products, certain oils in processed foods, etc.
Food sensitivities are legitimate, and they deserve the same recognition as allergies. Just because they won't cause anaphylaxis or hives doesn't mean someone wants to be achy and nauseous all day/week!
im thinking about trying FODMAP for a bit, i have a lot of digestive discomfort and often feel sick
I think there's a difference in using that medically and using it as a fad. The same happens with keto.
Same! I’m on whole30 to help me find out what’s causing all my silent inflammation markers. But it’s not sustainable. I’m excited to slowly start adding food back in and see what helps me and what hurts me.
Yeah people have forgotten that as you get older what you can tolerate decreases or increases and it's not always easy to find out which are which. Also with chemicals and pollution & some companies not following regulations properly there's more reasons as to why people have problems
Im at the point where I’m in my mid 20s and I’m so angry at diet culture because it made me substitute food for drinking enough all my teenage years . . . now at 24 I’m finally learning to eat when I’m hungry and not to over or under eat //the only thing I would follow when it comes to diets is if you have allergies
A lot of corporations out there getting fat wallets from ‘diet culture’. Not going to stop soon.
@@AnneMB955 i think the only thing you can do about that is educate children on it as a parent and try to make sure it ends with yourself , that’s what i would do if i had a child. I’m fully aware that school has a lot to play in it as well but i feel like that’s the only thing that’s really that’s in our power and taking comments very serious about weight in school that’s a big part in alot of our story’s i fell like.
“I don’t understand how people are eating the Caveman diet. Sure if you want to live to the rightful age of 30.”
-Joey Rooney
I love how all the major diets contradict each other 🤣😅
Because no diet is fit for everyone.
@@katelynbrown98Agreed. Simple response yet true. 👏
My dietician has me eating 2300-2500 cals a day. Took a metabolic test. My body needs at least 2300 a day to function. On a normal day it burns at least 3000 so I am in a deficit. She has me learning how to recognize when my body needs food and upped my protein and dietary fiber intake. Slow going but I have lost at least 10lbs since learning to count my calories and cutting back just a little.
My mom made me do a food sensitivity test to prove that I was allergic to gluten and it came back negative and then she just lied to my teachers and friend's parents. Also it turns out I am very allergic to turmeric and she just ignores that because "turmeric is anti-inflammatory" and always blames the hives I get on something else.
People that deny scientific proof make me so mad. Im sorry❤
but my little brother went on keto so he wouldn’t have as many seizures…
(it didn’t work but still it’s not always to lose weight)
that was the original purpose of keto, because it basically restricts brain function so it definitely is not a good option for most people, even if the lack of carbs does cause weight loss too.
medical keto is different to diet keto, doctor actually makes sure it's safe for you
A lot of fad diets start off with medical necessity and get picked up by others. Gluten-free for celiac's, intermittent fasting for high blood sugar, etc. The latter is specifically *not* recommended for weight loss, but diet culture got its hands on it anyway.
Oh my gosh! That was too funny but true.
I've personally found Noom to be a useful tool that helped me better understand my eating habits and make healthier choices but I can see it can be problematic if taken too far.
People like me who have fast metabolism are lucky they don't look into dirt stuff because they stay skinny anyway ( most at least some wanna be even skinnier )
Sensitivity diets make it so hard for people with intolerances. Ive heard horror stories from people with Celiacs being made extremely sick because people think theyre just being trendy. And i have to call my severe lactose intolerance an allergy so people dont give me dairy cause of the damage it causes my stomach and the pain
How to restrict air? I believe I can think of something😂
Hmmm... there's chemicals everywhere. So hold your breath (or if you can't do that: don't breathe in) whenever you walk past something that has fragrance (perfumes, cleaning supplies, etc.), next to a street or near a drain (don't know what could be in there).
Also most definitely don't breathe in too deeply whenever you are in a closed space with any other people. They could have a respiratory infection and you'll catch it too if the germs get deep in your lungs.
Also oxygen makes iron things like rust and we have iron in our body. Imagine what too much oxygen could be doing to us!
And if course the most important thing: breathing in deeply makes your belly expand and we know we don't want that of course.
The only problem with all this is that nobody would gain any money with all this oh so wonderfull advice, so unlimited breathing it is for now. Our poor properly oxygenated brains... we have to be conscious and aware of all this diet bullshit without having the joyous risk of fainting and brain damage.
This comment needs more likes, you just made my freaking week
I had this really bad episode of disordered eating and I knew it was getting bad when I would fast without drinking anything, because if I felt thirsty I wouldn’t feel hungry as much 💀💀💀
I didn’t realize I was a fruititarian. I didn’t even know that was a diet I could claim 😂 I’m a fruitaholic is what I am. I actually eat dates with peanut butter because I enjoy it 🧐
I want to point out that none of these things is inherently wrong. Any one of them can work wonders for someone with a specific set of dietary needs, and hundreds of thousands of people use them with no ill effects.
The issue comes from the belief that society as a whole, as well as targeted marketing, that dieting is inherently *right*, that it is always healthy or useful for everyone, and that if it doesn’t work you’re just doing it wrong.
I'm very sorry but I'll have to disagree, just to name one of this trends, diets, whatever...
the carnivore diet is just straight up garbage and it will, in the long term, cause health issues.
All these single food groups diets scare the crap out of me, what happened to eating a normal amount of food groups and just trying to be healthy in a normal way, diet culture really does scare me a bit, thank you for sharing and normalizing healthy eating habits ❤❤
Canadian fires enter the chat. 😂 Saw this while I'm down on Long Island, choking on smoke from Canada.
But for real, feel for you folks up there.
The only reason o buy low sugar or fat free stuff is because my brain hates me when I have a lot of sugar or fat at once, like on a dessert- so I typically go for low sugar hot cocoa to curb it a little for example. I have a sweet tooth lolol
I'm so confused by the sensitivity tests. What's wrong with those? My mom has Celiacs, I took a sensitivity test which showed I have a mild lactose intolerance and a mild gluten intolerance. I still eat some of those things but in smaller quantities now... What's wrong with finding what your body has a reaction too?
if I understood the video correctly then I would say because they give out too many false positives? maybe?
I hope this explanation helps: The food sensitivity tests don’t actually test for food sensitivity. They test for the antibodies that our body creates any time we are exposed to something, which are called IgG. So if you eat gluten or dairy for example (which are common in peoples diets) even days before the test, you will have IgG antibodies in your system because your body recognized what you ate. So then people will see these results come up on the test and say it means you’re intolerant or sensitive to the food, which isn’t the case. Just because an immune response happens, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t eat it or that it’s the source of our health issues, it just means our immune system is acknowledging the food we ate! It’s like a record-keeper, not an alarm signal.
Even if there are false positives they help narrow the window for people who need to do food elimination diets to see if their symptoms are food based. At least the test I did had a bunch of literature basically explaining what you just said and how to conduct an elimination trail.
I didn’t want to take one because of the false positives. I ultimately did because nausea and stomach pain was causing too many “what to eat?” arguments with my spouse. It’s hard to enjoy food when you feel horrible all the time, and what you enjoyed yesterday made the nausea worse so you don’t want to eat it again for ages.
My food sensitivity test helped me identify that huge handful of foods that were causing me chronic nausea despite not having any major bowel issues like celiacs etc. I’ve been complaining to doctors my whole life who have basically said I was fine. No one suggested a good elimination diet or explained how to do one. After identifying the foods causing me issues I’ve been nausea free for almost a year and my quality of life has improved drastically.
There's nothing inherently wrong with them, when they're done with a doctor and/or nutritionalist in order to determine if there are actual food sensitivities. In some cases, the ones I'm sure she's referring to, the person is given a false positive and then completely cuts out what once might have been a large portion of their diet with no regulation from any kind of doctor to make sure you're still getting the nutrients you need.
Because people who don’t have reasons to avoid foods are now avoiding them.
Just keep all my worst food fears in that meeting long enough so I can enjoy my chocolate chip muffin without feeling shame. Thanks! 😁
Keto makes me LIVID. My baby brother was on the actual ketogenic diet for extreme, life threatening epilepsy. It’s considered so dangerous that one of the largest pediatric neurology units in the country had only **2** children on it for the 2.5 years he did the diet. And that was in the 90s, when there were way less options for chemically controlling epilepsy.
(The seizures won in the end. He died during a 6 hour grand mal seizure at the age of 10. The diet helped a ton while he could do it but then they discovered he had cystic fibrosis as well and he had to stop the diet. Experimental meds bought us a few more years until they, too, failed. So they truly saved that kind of option for the most extreme cases.)
It's crazy to me that people use the keto diet as anything but a prescribed treatment honestly bc it seems so dangerous. I actually have CF too and I can't imagine going on keto, it's hard enough to eat everything I need as is. If you don't mind, did the diet make the seizures less frequent or less intense? Just curious on how diet effects them
doing keto as a normal person without epilepsy is like setting your house on fire because the sprinklers work just fine, ketogenesis is an extreme survival mechanism
@@Sophie-wf9zkcan you explain how keto is dangerous?
I know how to make people restrict air!
Racism!
Which.... Sadly... Is a real thing :/
Thank you for calling out Noom.
At some point you need to realize....the body needs food to survive! "Everything is harmful for you" is really bad advice. Because you need food to live.
I think I understand where you’re coming from with food sensitivity morphing into a harmful diet. I just feel that maybe it could have been handled with more nuance. For many of us, food sensitivity and allergens are a frustrating and stressful day-to-day experience that we did not choose and that we can’t opt out of. I wish I could eat the stuff I’m allergic and sensitive to, but it’s not worth the risk. It can be disheartening when these issues are not addressed with care because there are people who think that it’s not that serious.
Comment your eating strategy! Mine is fasting until i cant keep fasting (bc im lazy and its a habit i developed when i still took my adhd meds) then spending 30+ minutes on a nutritius meal im not gonna remember how to re-create
I actually really like my fitness pal, I think the calorie limit I have is actually very reasonable (1’700 calories which if you stay away from fast food is easy) and it makes me think about what I’m eating just for the fact I’m writing it down. I think living by it can be unhealthy but generally it’s made a positive impact on me.
Edit: I dont listen to the “macros” or protein amounts or even eat under 1700 calories, literally all I do is log my food and that’s it. Maybe that’s why it’s helped me and not others 🤔
Yeah.. The whole fact that everyone tells you to eat less just made me eventually stop giving a damn
Not a life worth living if I keep feeling guilty about the fritos I ate last week or the swedish fish I had this morning.
Easy; oxygen creates free radicals and makes you age faster. So if you breathe less, you’ll age slower!
I really wish I could eat fruit- that bite of that apple made me jealous!
(Well, I can have grapes, Canary melon, strawberries, and blueberries. That’s… about it.)
Wait but noom isn't a diet, the app gives you information on how to build good habits around food, be consistent and there are no foods off limits just have them in moderation, I personally had great experience with it and helped me a lot.
I'm not sure how I feel about the food sensetivity test being on here, because people can definitely have food sensetivities that they don't know about until they take one of those tests. On top of that, the way most allergies work, those sensetivities can get worse until they become full blown allergies
why are you shaming food sensitivity testing??? god forbid people be able to pin point sensitivities without constant trial, error, and pain
I feel like more small meals a day would work well for me only because I get full super fast and then 30 minutes later I’m hungry.
small frequent meals isn't a diet? it's just a different way to spread out the same amount of food, and there's nothing nasty about it
Most of These diets aren't even bad, if someone wants to only eat Fruit or meat then let them, you should definetly look up the benefits of fasting. There is nothing wrong with these diets they aren't for everyone.
The My Fitness Pal had me in a chokehold for months until I got pregnant and decided I needed to be better for the baby.
Not MyFitnessPal 😭😭😭 literally have been eating less than a toddler and over exercising but it’s fine bc my fitness pal is proud of me
How to keep people from breathing
Nose breathing guru's
Small more frequent meals and fasting can be healthy if done with the right mindset and the right intentions
Almost any diet can be done with the right mindset and the right intentions! That’s the difference between dieting and diet culture.
Probably sucking your stomach in would be the air one..
My Gall Bladder is currently playing up, which means, the smallest amount of fat seems to set me off and cause at least discomfort if not outright pain……….I’ve been living on rice porridge, salads with fat free dressing and ham sandwiches with no butter- how the HELL do people eat “fat free” long term- I’m going CRAZY and I’ve only been doing it for 3 WEEKS!😩😅😭🤬🤷♀️
I read noom as like nums so it thought it was a snack or something and got confused…I didn’t know it was an app 💀
I’m actually doing Noom right now to lose weight, but it helps that now it lets you eat 400 calories of orange food every day, and it makes me feel good about myself. Obvs there have been some rough days with Noom but it has motivational readings and has really helped me.
Dang I didn’t realize how many there were but this is surreal 😩
You guys pretending food allergies and sensitivities are diet culture now?
My fitness pal has me eating 2500 calories thats more than enough
I love eating grapes with peanut butter. It’s actually one of my favorite foods. Also, I think Noom has changed, because i have it and it helps me make healthier choices by lowering portions of orange foods and upperinf portions of green food. It doesn’t try to restrict, just tries to change to different healthier versions
Sleep apnea has entered the room *restricting air*
😅 I have sleep apnea
The “that’s the caloric needs of a toddler” thing bothers me. A toddler should eat around 1200 calories per day to grow. Toddlers are also insanely active and have a very high metabolism in most cases. That’s how they’re designed and of course, as they grow, their caloric needs increase. Many women who want to lose around ten pounds are also told to eat around 1200 calories per day for a set (and short) amount of time, not because that’s an adequate amount of calories for their dietary needs, but because that’s literally how they’ll lose weight. Eating more than that will not be effective for weight loss for a lot of women. That’s not the same thing as saying that women should only eat 1200 calories per day indefinitely. But by constantly pointing out that 1200 calories per day is the caloric needs of a (growing) toddler, people are basically making women feel like their weight loss goals are ALWAYS unhealthy and wrong. They don’t always have to be, and the amount of food a toddler eats in a day is irrelevant to that discussion.
Exactly! I'm short and very inactive, so my maintenance is just over 1600 calories. To lose 1 to 2 lbs a week, I'd have to eat about 1200 calories a day, which feels like a lot when I mostly eat fresh produce and healthy protein. It's often difficult to eat that much, tbh.
I was concerned about my weight (in the obese category) which is not healthy and you cannot convince me otherwise. I have family history of heart disease, cholesterol issues, and type 2 diabetes. I asked my doctor for help because I could not get the weight off. I was basically told I wasn’t overweight enough for them to do anything. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about a year later (at 27). I still couldn’t get any doctor to help me with my weight. I did a lot of research and using the carnivore diet and supplements I was able to lose 30 pounds and bring my A1C below the threshold for diabetes. I have felt so much better since getting that weight off. I get the problems diet culture can have on one’s mental health. But feeling like crap all the time was way worse for mine.
Well said! You’ve found the right eating plan for you. From testimonials this sounds perfect for your conditions. In the end it’s our choice what we feed ourselves, we just need to find the right way. 👏
myfitnesspal doenst even let u set goals lower than 1200 wdym
The fact I’ve tired all of those and I’m 15-
I agree with most of your content but.... coming for food sensitivity tests? Thats like saying allergies arent real. Im lactose intolerant, i developed it later in life but for someone who harps on eating what makes you feel good.... seems a little inconsiderate to people with issues.
Im lactose intolerant, and if i ignored it i would be in pain and eouldnt be able to eat anything from the nausea. I have a friend with gluten sensitivity who gets migraines and chronic stomach pain from wheat. Im even sensitive to things like kiwi and pineapple. Its not diet culture, kiwi and pineapple arent even considered "unhealthy" and i still eat a lot of other fruits. I just have a medical sensitivity.
Lumping in actual medical tests with fad diets is ridiculous as well as unhelpful to everyone with a food sensitivity, and if your goal is to actually help people struggling with food issues, i hope you realign your thinking.
Having a dr do the proper tests to check for food allergies and paying $100+ dollars for a swab to tell you your sensitive to anything you’ve eaten in the last few days are two different things.
In none of her videos does she say allergies aren’t real, and at no point does she imply you should ignore them, especially life threatening ones.
There are sensitivity tests on the market with no scientific basis behind them, just companies looking to make a quick buck. I saw one for sale in target that said on the box all you had to do was send in a cheek swab to find out what foods you’re “sensitive” to. And there are so many people who have had “dozens of food sensitivities” find out they had an actual allergy (like gluten or lactose) leaving there stomach vulnerable and that one specific allergy left them open to be bothered by other foods. But once the actual problem was under control they could eat all the other foods with no issue.
Intermittent fasting doesnt seem like it's that bad... obviously if you go with "the longer the better" then it wont be healthy, but thats why you balance things.
The whole idea is that our bodies aren't built to always have food at any given moment, so giving it some time to use the storage it has helps. Generally speaking you do it at night too, so you spend most of the time sleeping and then just don't eat a couple hours before hand or after, depending on what is most comfortable for you. It's a diet actually built on sustainablity instead of fast and unhealthy eating habits that won't last very long.
It is very effective but its not good if you have history of restrictive ED. Literally made me relapse, and I stop after a week.
Some of these are scary fads. Some of these are valid, healthy and beneficial diets that can heal people.
They're only healthy when done for the right reasons under proper guidance though. Whereas she's talking about how many of these systems are used and abused by the ED community, which is really sad. :[
@@JustyouraveragechaosenjoyerI agree, many of these ‘fads’ have good qualities when done right.
bro the second i scrolled after the video i got a noom ad
The way she made her hair look exactly like Freelee's
I remember freelee, never liked her
every short you upload bullies me into developing better eating habits. bless you!
Lol i had a girl in class doing the “sunlight “ diet
Can i please interject? You forgot baritastic. 😂😂 i cant log any food because my disordered eating gets so triggered. And also...samsung health. (Sorry to iphone useres, but im sure youve got something similar)
omd noom is so toxic nobidy talks about it
I remember when my culinary teacher told us all to sign up for myfitnesspal and count our calories for a week. I have never been the same.
Honestly if there's anything you should be trying to limit, it's sugar. Everything else you need some amount of. Balance is the key.
My fitness pal had me doing the most disordered eating I'd ever been through in my life. Was intermittent fasting and only allowing myself to eat 2 pb&js a day to stay within the calorie and macro limits. While doing HITT workouts. Luckily I came out of it really quickly. After I realized how awful I was feeling without seeing much results
A nice good video 😃👍👍👍👍👍
I saw a TikTok one time that said breathing in certain ways can lead to bloating so that could be a solution for their restrict air method
Accurate doesn't do this masterpiece justice....
So true, so sad...
Dude fr! Keto and MyFitnessPal got me messed up as a teen! I got such bad anxiety from it. Like, The darn app got on me for eating an orange! MyFitnessPal scolded me for eating a slice a of cheese! My doctor did not help. I still struggle with my weight to this day. My old doc was always like: "Well you obviously aren't trying hard enough. Eat less move more. You must be lying."
Like doc, you're telling me that I need to eat less and move more, and that I'm not trying hard enough when I was literally eating 1200 calories a day on keto and exercising until I dropped. But I wasn't trying hard enough? Thank God I gave up because I probably would have landed in the hospital. I was cold, shaking, dizzy, had brain fog, and was exhausted all the time during those several months.
About 7 years later, I go to the E.R. for extreme abdominal pain, turns out I have PCOS and that was why I was struggling to lose weight. 😡 I had all the symptoms and my old doctor chose to ignore it and gaslight me instead!
My guess is the next attack will be on sodium. I really don’t know what it does. But people with pots eat a lot of salt so it has to do something good.
That fruit one made me think of the “frugivore” lady (yes the lady called the diet that). I think her name on TH-cam is freeleethebananagirl or something.
The one who always looks haggard and claims protein is bad because diets shouldn't have acids (eg amino acids)? Agreed. Her bf looks even more ghoulish.
what’s wrong with small frequent meals? I hv gastritis and eating too much too quick causes heartburn
Then it’s a great option for you! But a person who, say, can’t feel full eating small amounts throughout the day, or needs to eat a big breakfast because they work out in the morning might not be a good fit.
There’s nothing wrong with finding a diet that works for you. The issue is assuming that diet must be good for everyone.
okay, intermittent fasting does work if done correctly. it can even help with diabetics and regulate your nervous system better than a regular diet. It does work best if you live within a routine, so it can go badly if you don't stick to it and eat enough while in your time frame. And having 8 hours to get whole and hearty 3 meals is not bad at all.
Frequent eating is bad? I graze on fruit and nuts and crackers and CHEESE all the cheeses all day and I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life and I’ve lost 80 pounds of antipsychotic medication weight. I still eat meals too but my body is so happy grazing :,)
As someone who grew up in a household with ulcerative crohn's, colitis, celiac, food allergies, lactose intolerance, IBS, etc., I DEFINITELY wouldn't lump food sensitivity in with those. Being in so much pain it feels likke your stomach acid has melted through your gut isn't fun. Watching your brother be in so much pain he can hardly get out of bed for months isn't fun. All the doctor bills. All the health issues. We were legitimately afraid my brother was going to die at one point. It's definitely NOT about weight issues. We all need to be able to function. Not being in immense pain all the time is truly ideal.
What’s the answer then 🤦🏽♀️ I did a good sensitivity test, it worked for my mom but idk
Her whole thing is that rather than focusing on weight loss specifically, people should focus on making healthy changes in their lifestyle, and have losing weight be a secondary consequence rather than the goal.
I the MyFitnessPal has gotten better over rhe years. It had me doing 1800 calories per day vs like 1600 calories 7 years ago. I checked hoe many calories it would take to maintain my weight and then subtracted 500 calories which from what I've seen from multiple sources is what you do to find a healthy deficit.
Your videos are helping me make peace with food. Thank you!
Watching this while I’m getting mentally jumped by: intermittent fasting, my Fitness pal, and scale anxiety. 😅
That’s not even counting the occasional binge. 😅
Appreciate fruit fans being used not vegans. Vegan diets can be absolute trash and people are always like wow!! you're vegan!! healthy! and it's like bro I downed a pack of Oreos in oat milk-
I had never heard of any "victim" of MyFitnessPal until reading these comments. It messed me up really bad. I didn't understand why I was constantly exhausted and depressed when I was using it. Lost a lot of weight but gained it back just as fast. Also I'd do cheat days that I wouldn't log into the app at all, so I'd devour anything high-calory that I could get my hands on, and the rest of the time I'd be severely malnourished. Still can't eat anything that has the calories marked next to it 😅
At least half these are useful tools that have been misapplied though. Mileage does vary. Knowing yourself and your own triggers is so important to ensure you use the tool that's right for you (or no tool at all for some). Like for example, IF can be incredibly triggering for some people, but for me personally I actually find that it helps me be more balanced and LESS disordered. But that's to be expected, we are all different and there's no one size fits all.
This would be funny IF Breatharnarians weren't a REAL thing already.
I liked Noom. You can eat red foods but they should be the least of what you eat. Eat mostly green, some yellow, and a little red. They also explained bing triggers, had accountability groups, and recipes. I loved it but it was too expensive a subscription for me.
Okay, I accidentally eat almost strictly chicken because I have a weird eating problem where almost everything makes me nauseous randomly and chicken is currently the only “safe” food, but damn it concerns people.
I do have to come to the defense for the sensitivity tests just a little bit. HEAR ME OUT!!!!! My mom has severe psoriasis and there are certain foods that trigger her flare ups which are very painful. The test she took seems to be accurate as when she stays away from those foods, her psoriasis is almost nonexistent but eating those foods trigger her flare ups. Still not great for the average healthy person, but in some rare cases it can help
these tests work, but only when you actually have a doctor guiding you, otherwise it can easily become restrictive eating
Thank you for including frutairian. That diet has done SO MUCH to hurt the ethical vegan movement.
Does this person think food sensitivities are not a thing?
I am sensitive to the solanacea family. If I eat either plant from that family, my tongue starts to shed and tiny ulcers appear. But it's not an allergy it's a sensitivity, because an allergy would close my throat. For someone that "fights misinformation and diet culture" she is surely spreading misinformation and doing that thing old people do: "food ssnsitivity? In my times we called that 'picky brat'".
Easy to criticize when your young and freakishly skinny. Unless you want to die youll eventually have to moderate your intake somehow. Really i dont think it matters if its fat, carbs or protein like orthorexic vegans avoid.
Every single day I am grateful that I was the skinny kid in the class. It's saved me a lot of problems, except for being skinny shamed, even after getting to a healthy weight.
I agree with 90% of the intention of this account, but lab tests should not be ignored. That's like saying eating allergies is mentally healthy. Um..no.
LMFAO as an ex anorexic that religiously used myfitnesspal for literally everything, that app actually aided my restriction for 5 years until i went into treatment. this is insanely accurate.
As someone who can’t have gluten because of a literal autoimmune disease, as it causes my shit to be the consistency of cottage cheese, this video placing people avoiding gluten and dairy in a bad light annoys me so much. I know quite a few people that are sensitive to gluten (not coeliac) and have way worse reactions than me, and have had so many people tell them that their food sensitivity isn’t real. If I had continued to eat gluten, like you’re telling me to do, I am 6 times more likely to get cancer, as well as making me much more vulnerable to developing other autoimmune conditions too. Stop spreading harmful information that could potentially kill people.
Intermittent fasting helped me lose like 10kg in about 3 months tho so I wouldn’t see it as a very negative thing for lazy people but hi want quick weight loss
