Miles: 'This is not a drama channel'
Also Miles: 'Welcome to your tape.'
😂😂
My thoughts exactly. I love his content, but I found the title pretty tactless...
Clickbait. But tbh it’s what made me click on this. I love miles but it’s been awhile since I’ve watched his videos and that title hit me interested.
I'm not complaining about the title btw. Just thought it was funny.
I don’t get the ‘tape’ part - is it a British phrase?
When she started promoting built bars but not whole foods that’s when she lost me. I believe she is eating up the money
Yep. She quotes WHO 🙄 AND promotes GMOs 🤮 (just watched one vid of hers because of this vid). She is pure yuck 🤢
@@nadagabri5783 you realize bananas are gmos
@@scotclifford7651 I’m not sure. Are they. All bananas?
@@nadagabri5783 yes. Technically all of the bananas you’d find in a store are. Wild types of bananas are more like plantains and many aren’t edible at all.
@@nadagabri5783 as a chemist, I wouldn’t be terribly concerned about GMOs though. What is more troubling is our heavy herbicide and pesticide usage.
I would have liked to see more protein in this video. Maybe some oil.
😂😂😂
it's lacking treat foods, ya know?
Maybe less fruit in this video 😬
Could have done with some salt.
😂😂😂😂
Abby Sharp really rubs me the wrong way. She will hawk protein bars, sugar cream instant coffee and then picks at people who eats fruits. People say they eat a “handful of nuts” and she’s like ohh your measuring out your nut portion” is this an underlying ED? She really grates me. She did a video on Scout the ballerina a week ago and she criticised her for being in a calorie decifit. Really? How else does she think she maintains her body for work? I can’t stand her. She is all about preventing EDs but her whole channel is based on “reviewing” other people’s diets?
theres def smthn off about her
She has an Ed herself 😂
I can definitely see what you’re saying about Abby sending mixed messages. Too me, the main purpose of her reviews is to protect young impressionable people from being heavily influenced by dangerous ‘what I eat I a day’ videos that promote a severely restricted and dangerous diet. You are right that this purpose may get lost when over analyzing someone with a generally healthy balanced diet. Personally, I have watched Abby’s channel for a while and the only time I have seen her speak against excessive fruit or greens is when someones diet is built solely on eating them. I would guess the reason she didn’t come for you about is because you don’t eat a bowl of romaine , call it dinner and talk about how satiating it is. That being said, hearing that she cut the fruit out of your review is disturbing, I hope she responds to why she chose to do so.
you summarized my thoughts exactly! i don't see her promoting IE and doing these vids as a contradiction because i do see them as helpful when i feel stressed about comparing my diet to an influencers. i actually appreciated her video on stephanie because stephanie's content always makes me feel so horrible (the thoughts are: "why can she eat whatever she wants and not gain weight, despite not being active but i am super active and can't seem to lose weight?" and i felt that she was fair, especially including stephanie's own disclaimers in the vid.) but i didn't know that about the fruit...
she did not and you were not paying attention with respect
There are much better TH-camrs for that. Natasha océane and high carb Hannah.
@@clairebaker900 Theres no reason I cant like Abby and Natacha.
@rawbirbella justthat She review non vegans.
Miles, mad respect to you for calling Abbey out. I actually like her, she seems like a good person, but she has a lot to answer for.
I grabbed my tahini jar and sweet potatoes for this.
Freelee is dancing around the rainforest right now 🤣
Tbh I am dancing with her
As am I 💃🏻
Freelee is trash
Absolutely I am too
Hahaha! I’m joining in 😅
It’s so annoying how she’s overjoyed and ecstatic every time someone has chocolate or ice cream but rolls her eyes and is all “here we go again” every time someone eats some fruit. Don’t get me wrong I love ice cream and chocolate and junk food but why are you happier about that than fruit?
Kayla Anderson As a professional she shouldn't be rolling her eyes at anyone. If health professionals expect people to fit their norms and expectations they are on to a losing battle.
this is exactly why I’m not going to school to become a registered dietician and instead just going for nutrition. majority of them have that mindset, and even still use the food pyramid in their practice.
Kayla Anderson nope nope nope watch her videos again she is actually INCREDIBLY biased towards people eating “treat food.” She is PANDERING to her audience who have suffered from EDs. I’ve been watching her for years and last week I was 10 minutes into a video when I just COULD NOT take it anymore. I’m too smart to sit there and be pandered too for 30 min for any longer. When you actually start paying attention EVERY time someone has a smoothie for breakfast (...an incredibly common and long enjoyed breakfast for many people who don’t like big breakfasts....) she goes on an “not to trigger anyone” rant. 😐 but then anytime she sees a generally healthy youtuber eat chocolate she’s so proud of them. Give me a break. Fruits and vegetables are NOT the problem this county is facing in the current health crisis we are in.
Unpopular opinion: she wants everyone to be fat other than herself. Am sure if she let go as she claims she would be fatter. Why hasn’t she let go? And why should everyone else? I’ve known women like her it’s pathetic.
@@charlotteharden9162 I think it comes from her own past of orthorexia, so she's more sensitive to that stuff and probably may even project her own past on other people.
Your point about intuitive eating while criticizing macros is right on.
When she critiqued Simnett Nutrition, she said he should include oil in his diet because she doesn't think he's getting enough fat. That would be fair if homeboy didn't pound down avocado, hempseed, flax, coconut, tahini and peanut butter in literally every video (including the one she watched). She just sees what she wants to see to fit whatever narrative she's pushing that day. Thanks for making this video calling her out in a constructive and logical way
RIGHT?! Like I agree that some high carb low fat dieters really don't include enough fats in their diets. But it's so unnecessary to critique people for not including oil when they have lots of other sources of healthy fats in their diet.
exactly! exactly!! well said
I don't think she's saying that he's not getting enough fat. She's just saying that you don't necessarily have to get all of your fat from whole foods and that there's no need to avoid oils. Extra virgin olive oil is great.
I don't particularly like her but I think she's trying to be quite measured in her approach. I wouldn't say she criticised him for not eating oils but just wanted to state to her audience that it's not necessary to avoid them and there's no harm in getting some fat from oil rather than just whole sources. Think she tries very hard not to promote any form of restriction (which is a good thing) which can sometimes ends up being contradictory as it ends up criticising those who emphasise the intake of certain types of food, or the exclusion of other foods, even if that restriction or increase in itself not harmful within the individual's diet.
@@k10nn10th oil is not a health food
Why does Miles like to go blond? Tahini hair.
You're a genius
Love the blonde!
That boi is aaaaalllll gold baby
This video is kinda old now but as an FYI, whereas *you* have clinical experience working as a nutritionist, Abbey *has never done any clinical work outside of the placements she was required to do for her certification* . I think that’s something important to point out, because imo experience is everything when it comes to being a health care professional.
Excus me????? NO WAY I DID NOT KNOW THAT
Nutritionists can get their certifiate online. Its like getting ordaned online to marry two people.... anyone can do it. The nutritionists I've run into have printed out the food pyramid/plate for me and my teammates, didn't know how to answer our questions well and left lol. So I wouldn’t describe them as healthcare professionals nor call the work they do as “clinical”.
Dietitians have to attend a 4 year college/program to become certified. There is a HUGE difference between the education/experience that Abbey holds vs this guy. Whether she practiced or not.
Edit: I just got to the point in the video where he mentions his experience. He sounds like he got a degree to be a personal trainer and took some nutrition classes but that isn't the same thing at all lol
@@halodeer he has a degree in nutrition and took clients for 4 years
@@ariesbaby5672 No.. he says he has studied biomedicine, anatomy, kinesiology, and nutrition at 9:30 which to me sounds like he was studying to be a personal trainer. Like I said in my comment (and like he says in the video) anyone can take a few nutrition classes in college but it doesnt make you a dietian.
4 years of being a nutritionist is not the same as studying for 4 years to specifically be a dietitian and the required minimum hours of clinical work (around 1 additional year) it takes to be certified. If it was the same thing, he would say so :)
@@halodeer could be the difference between the recs in Canada vs Britain vs the US….we all have our differences.
As someone Who has struggled with ED, I have found Abbey’s videos to be EXTREMELY TRIGGERING. She nitpicks at macros (and of course fruit) I personally know people who use the idea of “balance“ to restrict their eating. If I were to worry about macros and meal timing to the extent she seems to suggest, I believe it would severely impact me psychologically and ultimately leave me physically unhealthy.
Very sorry you had to experience the videos , I used to have a time where I would have a lot of disordered thoughts . At first her channel was good as she focused and just problematic restrictive diets . But then she started criticizing people for every little thing which just makes ppl think the way they eat is a problem. Again rly sorry if it triggered you I hope you are doing well and eating good food.
same, i used to have anorexia but she switched it to orthorexia
If you are recovering from an eating disorder, you should not be watching any of these sort of videos. They're ALL triggering.
@@liltimmytim2962 how did she switch it? What the hell are you talking about?
She has literally never done that . The only time she brings up numbers is to say how dangerous and excessive some people go. If you have a disorder, you shouldn’t be watching those videos at all
Miles is such a mature and educated human being. I think that you handled this in such an amazing way and said things that had to be said 🙌🙌
Thank you so much! (Definitely not mature tho lmao) x

Miles: “these are my opinions not facts...”
Also miles: giving out facts like it’s candy
they were indeed - all facts
Like it's fruit. Not candy. Fruit!
3 Zepoli fruit is candy..... 😋
It’s Halloween over here
I think abbey does the “what I eat in a day” reviews because her viewers enjoy them and request them frequently. I understand how this may contradict her “intuitive eating model” however I think she does it to help breakdown misconceptions surrounding many (not all) youtuber/influencer diets and trends, and how they may or may not be valid or healthy.
Her entire channel is built on over analyzing popular influencer's diets. Almost every criticism includes "they should add fat or more protein or more carbs so that it's balanced." She has an obsession with every single meal being as "balanced" as possible. No one needs to obsess over food so much they try to stick every macronutrient in every meal and snack. It's certainly not intuitive.
She is driven by sponsers and money and she is doing those videos to make money and get clout. And the video she did on Miles was just cringe. I can't trust her
@ Anna Lezdkan Every Influencer is kind of driven by sponsers, she is one of the few who mention it within the first 30 seconds of the video - which actually is a must, but noone does - and keeps in short and simple. Not faking how great something is and now knowing what it is. Her channel DOES NOT just exist because of the reviews of other YTers "WIEIAD"s, there is a whole lot of useful information about nutrition and recovering from an ED and so on. It is soooooo helpful when you are struggeling, because you find far too many horrible suggestions on the internet and she is finally someone I can trust - maybe you should be open and watch a few of her other videos, there is a lot of great information in them. She really explains things amazingly. I feel so much better because of her, and am really thankful.
@forevermia No, it is not, please don't write things that are wrong, her subscribers are demanding the WIEIAD-reviews. I asked for a video to get into how to fix metabolic damage e.g. and she will post this video soon. It is a lot more than just reviews of other YTers, she is really helping those who have (had) an ED and I am very thankful for that. And some Influencers really eat shitty, vegans as well, we don't have to get into that. She is the last one to say you can't enjoy a pastry for breakfast, but maybe you can pimp it with some nut butter and you're good to go. It is advice, in the end. Noone is saying you have to eat a certain way, and I am healthier and happier since I found her channel. Can't say the same about this channel though. I came here because of Nuttyfoodiefitness, I like her a lot, but damn shouldn't have come here, such negativity... Not my cup of tea.
@@WithoutAnyHope Abby is extremely negative and triggering with the way she micro-analyzes meals, she seems orthorexic and sick in the head. I'm glad I stopped watching her, all her videos do is make me obsess over "balance", she is extremly negative.
Not trying to hate on abbey, I find her videos entertaining and often pretty helpful, but it seems to her that intentionally gaining weight for your health is ok but intentionally losing weight for your health isn’t ok.
Omg yes! She practically drooled over Stephanie Buttermore’s all in series. But if anyone mentions wanting to lose weight she gives a thousand trigger warnings, and implies they may suffer from “disordered eating.”
She is aware eating disorders are the most fatal mental illness and just wants to be careful not to trigger people. I don’t believe she says it’s not ok, just to be done in a healthy way which is fair.
Her videos are tailored for an ED audience where it can be extremely dangerous to intentionally loss weight especially in the problematic ways that pop culture dictates as “the best.” She’s very nuanced in her videos about this. She’s about listening to your body and and if your doctor doesn’t say lose weight for health reasons then don’t. Because for her audience that desire likely stems from a disorder and can become deadly in a heartbeat. If there’s nothing wrong (other than society telling you you’d look better thin as a rail) don’t fix it
@@shashanor94 yes bc her audience is primarily people with EDs. So yes weight loss videos may be triggering. She’s watching out for her viewers unlike a lot of TH-camrs. She speaks to the potential that people may have disordered eating patterns which is as much or as little as thinking of some foods as “good” or “bad” or thinking you have to earn unhealthy foods. And she never never implies someone has an eating disorder. She’s explicit about that. Disordered relationship with food or disordered thinking patterns are not the same thing as an eating disorder
She focuses her channel as eating disorder recovery. She once struggled with it. She is a wonderful women and people tend to hate on her unnecessary. She is a train dietitian and a person who cares about others mental and physical health. She just wants people to be happy and healthy and not obsess over their diets.
Thank you for sharing this!! Abbey has always rubbed me the wrong way because I feel she gives such a 2 dimensional highly Abbey curated and opinionated professional opinion. This was really eye opening to hear from you having been reviewed and having had a loved one been reviewed by her. I appreciate your content love!
I follow Miles and Abbey, and learned (and still learning) much about nutrition from both. With everything in life, be critical and take what suits you best.
YES. this comment right here is really the best i’ve ever seen on a diet/food video
I dealt with disordered eating for many years and I agree with you Miles, there's a huge difference between not eating foods out of fear and choosing not to eat certain foods for benefit of the animals and the planet!
Can we just adress the fact that Miles is 33 and to this day I thought he was in his early/mid 20s 😲 must be all that fruit 😊
He is 33?!!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!!!
And healthy fats and exercise. Fruit + healthy fats + exercise + lots of veggies= aging really well
whaaast thats crazy i thought he was 24 😂
Woah! He is the same age as Abbey which I would not think. Both look healthy, but I do think a large part is genetics regarding how people age. Both seem to have a healthy lifestyle and diet.
I am convinced he is going to age like Keanu Reeves. Just not 😂
I've had an eating dissorder in the past and going vegan actually helped me to recover. It gave me a different view on food and how it can not only fuel me but help animals
While Abbey means well, there are a few things about her approach that rub me the wrong way. Part of this you've already pointed out here: she talks about intuitive eating, listening to your body, etc. while simultaneously critiquing people on what she sees as the right/wrong way to eat. If healthy eating is so intuitive, why do people's eating habits need so much evaluation and feedback for improvement?
Also, while I understand it's less messy to critique the diet of a pretty Instagram model who won't get bullied the same way an overweight person might, choosing to criticize almost exclusively restrictive and/or extremely thin dieters means that Abbey severely under-represents the common disordered eating habits that most people struggle with with, i.e. being overweight and over-consuming unhealthy foods. She offers many, many suggestions for people who are thin and over-restricting, while not offering nearly as much advice for people with the opposite problem.
I assume she thinks that by criticizing the former she'll help alleviate the latter, but that seems like a huge stretch. When so many people say they struggle with nutrition because their body constantly wants to overeat, it seems extremely unhelpful to try and convince them those aren't real intuitions, they only have those cravings because of diet culture, etc. If anything, that's going to confuse their intuitions even more!
I have made similar comments on her posts. In reading her general replies and her replies directly to me, imo she pities morbidly obese people and thinks making videos about them could be seen as picking on a person with a mental illness. Which is the same thing. Unweight people have a mental health issue as well. She genuinely is so adverse to overweight people it was sad to me that she replied to my comment but clearly didn't understand it
The mic officially dropped. You know my thought's so I shan't write an essay on here.
I just want to say thank you for the way in which you addressed a number of very important things.
So much respect & amor xx
OMG hii!!! When Abbey started to speculate that u have an eating disorder my blood boiled. Don't get me wrong, I admire what she's doing. Trying to educate people on nutrition. But I love you more, and when I scrolled through the comments and saw that people where criticising you despite your disclaimers and not knowing you at all, I immediately responded but was hit with a wave of comments saying I was promoting binge eating. In this day and age we are promoting diversity, however, when it comes to diet, physique and body positivity there is still a lot of work to be done.
abbey's video review of u was just so toxic. she tried to paint it as if you have an eating disorder, and her videos basically encourage people to bully people about their eating lifestyles based on speculation
At least half of your TH-cam videos are just you binge eating with a six pack. I don’t really think you’ve got too much skin in the game on nutrition or positive influence in the health and wellness community...
Like Sara said: your videos are about you eating junk and flexing your abs at the same time. I hope no one sees you as an inspiration when it comes to eating
@@kani9284 true
Miles you clearly didn't eat enough protein and fat before this video
Yaass
LOL clearly... 😩
Some vegan mc donalds fries?? Oh
Everyone needs to add eggs and yogurt to their diet, because they send Abbey a nice fat check every month.
BEST COMMENT
This woman has been ducking smoke for so long. I don’t think half of vegan youtube could handle this topic with a cool head so I’m glad we have Miles
Very much agree with this! 🙏
And freelee👍🏻❤
Check out FreeLee’s response too.
I really think that he likes Abby and he talks about her in positive way even though she cut out the fruits and that means that she is manipulative person and she didn't want to answer about that in his emails. 😮 But he is saying that she is nice...
@@vegantina6565 why? Freelee definitely does not have a cool head and was immature imo. She also managed to make it about her by saying if Abbey ncluded the fruit then Abbey would have had to criticize miles the same way. I do not agree with Abbey but sometimes Freelees' thought process is harmful to herself imo. Most dietitians even vegan would not agree with Feelees diet anyway so the comparison is just paranoid/narcissistic sorry.
I've watched Abbey for a long time and I was initially ready to fight someone when I opened this, but you are right. There is an interesting line she is crossing here between educational content and hypocritical behavior. She has a WEALTH of knowledge and is a fantastic advocate for taking down diet culture and exposing disordered eating BUT only when it is obvious. You are 100% correct as a health professional (Nutrition Master's student in training here) that you have to know more than just what your patient eats to make a proper "diagnosis" on where they should go.
Kudos, man. You've got a new subscriber, because this was classy as hell.
thank you very much for this comment!
She also reviewed a mukbang channel "regular diet" of her. N mentioned nothing ab the cheatdays lol, that girl lit has lactose problem n take pills to binge eating milk products and eat untill she pukes
I don't think Abby accused Stephanie or anyone else of having eating disorders, but suggested that behavior may be triggering to those that do. Which is true.
She insinuated it throughout the video.
Minoes she always says that stuff is a “red flag” which isn’t diagnosing someone with an ED, but saying it’s a marker of that behavior. Big difference
@@Becky0494 so she insinuated it. Thanks for confirming.
But her own videos are super triggering to many
@@hoykfnvnnesnxnnensncjforkx1616 she says at the beginning of her videos to not watch if you have an ED history.
Eating healthy changed my entire life. It`s funny how now the judgement is reversed and suddenly you`re orthorexic if you prefer to treat your body with whole foods. I quit sugar because it messed up with my hormones, mental health and energy.
I had orthorexia and it’s deeper than you think, maybe take a look into it, bc your comment sounds like you’re invalidating people that have had it. I get your point but there’s no need to invalidate people’s real struggles :)
@@caitlynnvanwyk1252 stop being a fragile victime snowflake and learn to take care of yourself, no one else will 😘😘😘
Orthorexia isn’t a healthy diet. A healthy diet includes eating things that aren’t considered healthy every once in a while. Orthorexia actually has an effect on your life and your social life.
google user wtf is wrong with you? Stop being nasty towards people with psychological problems.
@@CherryJuli well that really depends on the person, doesn't it? Wanting to eat a healthy diet all of the time because it makes you feel your best isn't orthorexic per se. It becomes orthrorexic if turns into an obsession, causes stress and has negative consequences for the individual. Everyone is different. For some it's better to abstain completely to keep them sane, for others it's better to have dessert everyday. It totally depends on how it affects the person.
I'm glad that Miles is still real and not scared to talk about unpleasant things although Abby was very nice to him.
she was very nice to me & always has been. but this isn't about me :)
I’m like 100% sure Miles is super proud of himself for coming up with that tittle, isn’t he
hahahah yeah probably
I don’t get it...is it a movie reference? I’m clueless lol
Reference to a show called 13 reasons why.
ugh it's so good
Tittle
I'm so with you-- overanalyzing other people's diets is just dumb. I also am someone recovering from an eating disorder and I'm going vegan (mostly because you inspired me to) but it has nothing to do with restriction or orthorexia (or even my health), it's purely for the environment and I think that's totally okay to do.
Is this the only video reviewing Abbey Sharp? You're spot on! I can't believe she cut out the fruit and ignored you about it... damn. Great content! New subscriber :)

Yasssss!!!
Omg filming a whole video with no audio is the worst. Been there.
It's strange u received no reply here im.
I love seeing one youtuber I watch in the comments of another youtuber. Love your videos!
Hi Mic I just watched your video on Pam Popper's views on wearing a masks. Very good as usual.
I hate her notion that meals have to be "balanced" in order to be healthy. Why does every meal have to have an overt protein in order to be healthy if I'm meeting my daily protein needs? It makes no sense.
exactly!! Like, do you want me to add a can of chickpeas or fried tofu to my blueberry oatmeal??
Yeah I agree. And she completely overlooks the fact that your body has the ability to assimilate proteins, fats, amino acids etc. from different foods you eat throughout the day, so so as long as you are making up nutrients somewhere else, it doesn't have to all be in one meal.
@@Adelehalsall Not only throughout the day, but over 2-3 days. It's completely alright to eat more protein on one day and less on the other. Our bodys can handle it, otherwise we humans wouldn't have survived until now.
@@roisin6218 oats have a fair bit of protein anyway, they are a whole grain.
I actually really like a lot of her videos, BUT I watched one today where she was complaining that someone had no protein at breakfast and then had a high protein lunch. Today for breakfast I had a fruit salad, which to her would be an issue for some reason. It's 25c (77f) which is fucking hot for the UK so to me, fruit for breakfast is fine? As long as it all balances out, it's gonna be fine?
The thing that got me in this whole Abbey Sharp fiasco is her kid's diet. She limits their fruit intake A LOOOOT and puts two to three servings of animal proteins PER MEAL!!! Like seriously? And then she complains that her kids love fruit too much to let them have it at every meal, that's just disturbing to say the least.
WHAT?!?! That's the craziest thing I've ver heard!!!!
Zakaria Fadli
She’s doing the right thing giving her kids animal products
@@Janeoffools Nope.
Oh no! You can think whatever you want about Abbey and or give your kids whatever food you want - but mom shaming is never cool!
Caroline Sophie hes not shaming. He is just saying how it is
It always confused me all of the intuitive eating thing because she over analyzes every single food. You can't have both things. There are many ways to keep up with healthy eating habits, and there isn't such thing as "perfect" when it comes to nutrition. I used to watch Abbey's videos but then realized she was sending a really confusing message.
I agree!! Totally x
@@HealthyCrazyCool I feel like she only analyzes people's diet to be the eating disorder police. To check for disordered eating. She would be more likely to applaud someone for eating unlimited amounts of chocolate every day than unlimited amounts of fruits. Her focus isn't health, her focus is anti-diet.
@@lena-aline what's anti diet?
@@sowhat...
I think anti-diet is a diet where you don't avoid foods that are considered "bad"
Of course she analyzes the nutritional content of the food. She is an expert in nutrition (given her level of study), and her viewers watch her to get info about balanced nutrition. If she watched "what i eat in a day" videos and provided no critique, what would be the point?
I’m so happy that this was addressed and it wasn’t a hate video or drama video. I think it’s so important to keep representation “real” on this platform and while Abbey Sharp has some good advice, a lot of her content can be misleading. Thank you for sharing.
I used to really like Abbey, but in one video the youtuber she was reviewing used spray oil to grease her pan, and Abbey went on to speculate that this youtuber might be part of the "low/no fat" gang or trying to reduce calories by using spray oil instead of just drizzling some from a bottle. She then tried to break down how many calories were actually in a single spray of oil, since most people would spray more than was calculated on the nutrition label. Basically to prove the point that people using spray oil were actually consuming more calories/than than they know.
Like... what was really the point in that? You think the people who would be concerned about the calories/fat in spray oil would suddenly be like "OH WELL guess I might as well chug some EVOO then"? No, she probably scared a lot of them away from that little amount of fat they were getting their diet, or from something that might have slowly made them more comfortable with using oils/consuming more fats.
Especially since most people would use spray oil just for the convenience and because a lot of directions on boxed foods say to use spray oil in the first place, so it's even dumber and more suspect for her to say that in the first place.
what video was that?
@@arilohr5641 the obesetobeast one
Hearing that now makes me really scared of cooking spray. I am a recovering bulimic.
@@ashtaylor4107 a lot of people use spray cans because they’re more efficient to use. You can easily coat the whole pan with an even layer of grease
I used to be a fan of Abbey and only not long ago stopped watching her content. I don’t know whether she’s always been this way, I just didn’t notice, or whether the changes are recent, but It’s been dwelling in me for a while how hyprocritical she is in her videos. It’s not even just the fact that she promotes intuitive eating, however nit-picks at every little thing in her reviews, but the fact that she’s constantly going on about how she had orthorexia and how important respecting your body’s needs is, bla bla bla, but honestly, I have NEVER felt as triggered from watching internet content as I have watching abbey’s most recent videos. Eating WHOLE nutritionally dense foods should never be a problem. It angers me and I just can’t get my head around how she praises people for eating donuts (which is also fucking ok in moderation) but scolds others for eating fruit?? Please.
You approached the matter in a very civilized way and most couldn’t have stayed so cool headed.
Abby sharp has always comes arcoss kinda fake to me
In one of Abbey’s videos she literally recommended eating chocolate covered pretzels over fruit. I’ve never had a dietitian tell me to avoid or limit how much fruit I eat. If I did, I’d run for the hills and get a new dietitian. I also don’t like how bias and nit picky she is in her videos.
I trusted her knowing that she has a proper education in nutrition, but I'm disappointed hearing all of this
@@anna.318 same, for a pretty long time. Especially because I thought she was vegan-friendly but other than that she talks a lot of shit
Lol you realize you CAN eat too much fruit right? 🤦🏼♀️ many fruits aren’t as healthy as they seem
She recommended eating pretzel over fruit or she said is ok to a pretzel instead of fruit in some occasions? It would be pretty nice to see the part for ourselves. I oftentimes find that people misunderstand her sayings. Instead of "there is no need to obesses with clean eating" people usually interpret as "eat whaterver you want", and that is not what she says.
She says that because if you eat want you want you won't binge later. Listening to what your body wants is extremely important. So if you are craving chocolate eat the chocolate. Don't restrict the foods you want but also don't over due it.
God Abbey is so hypocritical to me. It’s like she decides she wants to criticize someone’s diet before even watching their videos. In one video she said someone adding vegetables to “bulk up” their pasta sounds like an eating disorder but she’s said she herself does the same thing by using half zucchini noodles. Or with you and steph, she was so much harder on steph for snacking on nut butter. How can someone even take her advice when it’s so conflicting...
Is that the video on Dr Dray cause honestly... If she doesn't have an eating disorder, she's incredibly triggering to plenty of people who stumble on her. This statement is pretty out of context.
@2024-Diana Alivov She is subsidized by eggs and dairy, so there is that. Most people don't know the whole story about how the American Egg Board went out of their way to try to destroy Josh Tetrick/Just Inc. She has an obvious agenda to push eggs and dairy when they aren't all that healthy.
Emily P she’s gives a disclaimer with everyone of her videos
Yeah she is like the disordered eating hunter, she sees it everywhere
She was referring to using vegetables to replace more filling, protein rich foods, not just adding vegetables for nutrition or flavour reasons. She was talking about a woman who ate a ridiculous amount of vegetables and had very little protein in her diet.
Finally, someone did address the issues on the informative way without hatred! But I literally had enough of her always talking about protein and skinny shaming(completely ignoring obesity tho) and implying that people have eating disorders while promoting intuitive eating. And conveniently she always leaves the facts that don't suit her away.
I agree with a lot of what you said in this video, and I'm coming in as a subscriber of Abbey Sharp who is open to hearing criticisms, but I want to respectfully challenge one thing. Abbey doesn't say that NO ONE who was ever orthorexic can go vegan, she says that she personally finds any kind of restriction triggering to her disordered eating, and I hope you can respect and understand that she is honoring her own emotions and triggers.
As yet another person coming from a disordered eating background, I'm not yet ready to put restrictions on my diet because I get obsessive and unable to think of or do anything else.
Thank you for this comment! I agree with you & probably didn’t word it correctly in the video! X
Thank you for clarifying. It's a touchy subject and hard to please everyone, so I appreciate you
i agree with this, whole heartedly. Someone said it!
I think there is a misunderstanding here the whole thread. Plant based is diet but vegan is a lifestyle and you don't become vegan for nutritional perposes you become vegan for moral reasons. (Speaking as a vegan who had an eating disorder) once you find out about the animal industry the morals take over and you will do whatever it takes to fulfil those morals and a vegan lifestyle. A plant based diet is just that. A diet.
@@annal7370
Exactly!
I understand the points you made and I agree with some of them. Honestly, she had helped me and possibly a lot of teens with potential EDs and had thought me how to add more protein and more fat into my diet. Although her advice may be triggering for some people, it made me feel good about the way I eat which dare I say is balanced. That being said, I like both of your channels and I'd continue to support both of you!
Thank you for saying this. Abbey has taught me a lot and I'm in my thirties and never had an ED. I just think she has an overall good perspective on how to relate to food although her non-extremism sometimes resembles extremism very much.
Oh hunny. Abby not so sharpe shouldnt be your role model at all
I agree with you. I think she is an important voice and this topic is so conflicting. I agree with Miles but I also agree that Stephanies videos (for example) can be triggering. Yes ofc that’s not her fault but she also recently made a ‘healthy meal ideas’ video with her prominent abs in the thumbnail... implying that it’s her diet that makes her look that way. When even Miles admits that it’s not. There’s hypocrisy on both sides so both sides are needed.
@@martah5369 Exactly. She may be hypocritical at times, but I truly believe her intentions are good.
@@V3ganBr33 I'm not saying she is my role model. Her view of food helped me a lot with body image and potential EDs. Her overall advice is valid and for me at least helpful. That's it.
7:28 -8:00 is exactly it.
As an "intuitive eater", "dietitian", and "someone recovering from an eating disorder" she should know better than to hyperanalyze what people choose to it.
Actually shocking and nauseating the way she approaches things, as someone who also struggles with anorexia and has been in multiple treatment facilities. Very toxic
I do feel that Abbey has sold out to the crowds. I used to really like her! In general people who don't follow a healthy diet love to hear that eating "too healthy" is bad for you. Unfortunately there are more people who struggle to maintain balance than not. Thanks for your cookie recipe I AM ADDICTED!
Late to this video but yes to all of this. I unsubscribed from Abby’s channel over a year ago. I think she does more harm than good. She made me overthink my diet and for someone who promotes intuitive eating she’s constantly talking about macros. Not enough fat, not enough protein. So which is it? Can I eat naturally or do I need to be counting my macros like a crazy person to make sure I’m getting enough of everything?? Thanks for this video!!
Honestly fruit is the best thing on this planet - how is there anything "bad" about it?!
BeCaUsE It CoNtAinS MoNoSacchAriDes🙄🙄🙄🙄
I actually know two people that are big on the keto/low carb diet. Maybe as a reaction of me turning vegetarian slowly becoming vegan myself. They eat eggs and meat pretty much every day.... They do not eat any fruit at all. But they do eat a lot of vegetables. But damn if I try to argue with them I get attacked hard af. And then they say vegans are easily triggered holy shit.
It's healthy (And delicious)but it get's unhealthy once you eat too much of it because it contains a lot of fructose
Lu Chan You can’t argue with Keto/low-carb fanatics, they’re stuck in their hypothesis. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
It Is still sugar
Everything is bad if you eat too much of it.
I hate when fruit gets “demonised” like this!! Especially in summer I eat loads as it’s fresh off the market, it hydrates and it’s delicious 😋
Abby's videos encourage me (someone with ED history) to overanalyze my own diet, log my food because I don't want to "get it wrong" and second guess if I'm getting enough nutrients. Like my overanalyzing behaviors increase after watching her content and intuitive ways of eating (which is usually vegan) decrease.
I completely agree and understand. I find her videos very troublesome. I think there’s heavy overtones of orthorexia under the guise of “teaching moments”. It’s very troubling.
* Freelee goes bananas *
I'm late to this party, but anyone who thinks Abbey 'means well', or 'is a nice person', needs an evaluation on their ability to evaluate. Abbey's a corporate [gardening tool] through and through.
for someone who is for not criticizing peoples' food choices, she is very critical of peoples' food choices
I've always felt as a Dietitian, Abbey could do so much good with her channel and make it really educational about different health and nutritional issues, but instead rips apart everyone's diet. This is just as bad a Freelee in thinking everyone should eat the same way. I know I can't eat like Freelee and I can't eat like Miles. Her channel has just created more drama and doesn't offer any real value and some of the "advice" she gives is damaging (ie: everyone should just intuitively eat).
I never comment on videos, but had to say, you absolutely nailed it! Thank you for being a badass, unapologetic gem who is not judgmental for anyone who doesn't follow exactly what you do. Your info is sound, videos are entertaining and your always you. Thanks for sharing Miles!
What she said about Stephanie hit home, I'm someone who needs to eat 2500-3000 cals to stay at a healthy weight
Me too
I've gone back and forth for months about Abbey's reviews and advice. But the one thing I'm very happy about is that she led me to find your channel. I feel like it's been difficult to find vegan channels that have promoted a healthy, balanced, nutrient-dense way of eating. I can't eat large amounts due to a medication I'm on so I try to get as many nutrients in as possible. I think you do such a great job of covering the spectrum of nutrients! I'm still learning and binge watching your channel, so thanks for helping me!
Aaah thank you ❤️
Honestly this video made my day, someone needed to give her a taste of the tahini without being mean, you did it perfectly haha well done. and I love that you stuck up for your friend too!
What the heck! She doesn't call out people for eating too much fruits. She often say that people's meal are not balance in the macros. It's just a question of balance.
Oohh my God I'm so glad you made this video. I started watching Abby's videos a few months ago randomly and felt kind of weird about them but couldn't put a finger on it until you made the video about intuitive eating and it all clicked why her stuff felt wrong. She nit-picks to such an intense degree it makes me squirm.
So so so well said. Everything I’ve been feeling about her videos for so long. I just cannottt understand how she claims to promote intuitive eating but then all she does is pick apart peoples (for the most part) generally well balanced diets. It’s like she’s expecting absolute nutrition perfection from everyone, but she gets all the facts and details wrong anyways.. I just don’t get it.
when she reviewed natalia taylor's diet, she cut out like an entire meal making it seem like she only ate an unseasoned salad
I'm a different sort of healthcare practitioner, but I have said for a long time that Abbey is a hypocrite for using "intuitive eating" & "fat acceptance" rhetoric like eat all you want when you're hungry, yet also harshly critiquing the What I Ate videos of TH-camrs who aren't even requesting feedback. You can't have it both ways. Either there's a "right" way to eat, in which case she's trying to "help" people by critiquing them, or there's not, in which case she can be pro intuitive eating but then she can't critique. FWIW, it's not ethical for medical professionals to go around judging & diagnosing people we haven't met. As a general rule, you should be very suspicious when you see someone doing this online
I'm currently watching this whilst eating houmous out of the tub with a spoon. Am I going slightly insane in lockdown? Yes.
Am I ashamed?
No..
Hummus is so good eaten with a spoon 🥄
Miles, all the content in your videos with what you eat, what you do and how you feel is completely genuine. What she is doing is likely just for the views. Tbh it's great to hear you call her out. I've said this before... I love the way you make no apologies for how you think and feel. You are 💯% real! ❤
Thank you SO much for this ! Xx
The fruit-fear is just so ridiculous! Her poor kids can't even eat as much fruit as they want, instead she serves them pure animal fat!? Fruit is one of the healthiest thing in the world, not like animal products that have been proven to not be healthy at all...
Fruit is THE healthiest thing in the world.
That’s not true tho. I’ve seen a few of her videos and she only says something about the fruit thing if it’s excessive amounts of fruits. It has been exaggerated here.
Only high meat consumption (especially red meat) has been proven unhealthy. Not meat, dairy and egg consumption in general.
CherryJuli meat, eggs, dairy have cholesterol thus they are not the healthiest
Katherine R that’s not how it works tho and that’s not what science says at the moment. Plus, there are different types of cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is good and you consume it on a plant based diet as well.
@@katheriner3121 but dietary cholesterol doesnt effect blood levels
she doesn't "review" she "judges"
Exactly!!!!!
SD C the third one was great!!
YESSSSS THIS THANK YOU
So this is an old vid but I just discovered abbey sharp and I can’t even watch her videos they’re infuriating. I think she tries so hard to sound relatable (praising people for eating cake, criticising them for eating salads etc.) at the expense of actually offering valuable nutrition advice. Her take on nutrition is in many ways outdated and despite what she claims she is not a proponent of REAL intuitive eating. In fact, she’s not even opposed to calorie counting which blows my mind.
Red hoodie, sat on a bed....
*gets comfortable with a bowl of popcorn*
I think people like to criticize what they don't understand. She clearly doesn't understand veganism.
She is actually pretty supportive of veganism and gives many vegans glowing reviews (including Miles)
Or nutrition
@@Raddiebaddie - She's fake supportive.
She understands how to get views.
She’s more supportive than carnivores
You're just so calm and honest, and yet you're still spitting straight facts! This was good criticism, not fueled by feelings, but by facts and honesty
She hates the idea of losing weight so much, for some reason. She doesn't realize that for overweight (me) and obese people, losing weight can greatly improve their quality of life. It's not wrong to lose weight if you do it healthily and sustainably.
it's amazing how you handled this situation in such a professional way, you are a really admirable youtuber, love your content, please never leave
Thanks so much
It also confuses me when she shames people for drinking juice once in a while, because „there is no fiber” but then makes a whole video dedicated to praising amazing benefits of oil...
anyway, great video, everything on point :)
So ridiculous.
She didn’t shame them, it’s just not good to drink all of your fruit intake :)
Malak Al-Rihaili I meant green/ veg juice
you nailed it with the title on this one🙌🏼 thanks for the breath of fresh air miles
Thank you ❤️❤️
So glad you made this video! Her videos have never sat well with me. 100% being a hypocrite for promoting intuitive eating and then micro-managing peoples diets. It's one thing to call out unhealthy What I Eat videos but to pick at every little thing someone eats in a day is soooooo unhealthy for the person in the video and for everyone watching them!
Also! As someone who has had an eating disorder and is vegan, people do seem to be judgey and assume Veganism is linked to my ED. But I cannot even describe how wrong that is. I think about animal products in a completely different way than I think about fear foods. Like it's a completely different part of my brain. Not eating animal products is because of ethical, logical decisions I've made instead of emotional, fear-based rules my disease makes up for me.
Exactly! In my brain it's literally not even food. It's just not. Meanwhile, I still have my moments with overeating, but it's slowly getting better.
@@tammymasson2343 Agreed!!! I look at animal products like they're plastic lol It's like not food in my mind!
No offense but how is this not a drama video when it’s called: “Abbey Sharp, welcome to your tape”
because responding and voicing my real concerns about her videos is NOT drama! she makes videos about other people every week of her life & publicly. So if I have a problem with it & the things she says & I'm involved in the situation I will also respond publicly! Also the video is exactly what the title says, I delivered her a tape about her own inconsistencies.. end of :)
Cause he's a funny and light-hearted person and the title is a meme... the video itself is not drama.
Thank you, Miles! I am so happy someone has finally addressed this! You addressed it perfectly, respectfully, and professionally.
I followed you because of the video she did on your channel 😂✊🏼💛
Same here!
Same 😅
Same😂
Same
Ripple effect, we don’t understand why people do the things they may do but good will find its way to you! Glad I found this channel 💜
this is so extremely well articulated, you dropped your crown sir xx
thank you boo boo x
I appreciate this type of "review", if you will. Very professional and straight to the point. I too go crazy over fruit when it has the perfect amount of sweetness and juiciness. I also agree that any review requires extensive research. Her message, while beneficial to some, cannot be applied to all people. My own diet fits my own lifestyle, and so is for those people who have their diets reviewed by her. Her diet is not the all mighty one just for the reason that it has worked for her.
I've watched a lot of Abbey's content, and I've learned so much, because she explains her claims and all. Generally speaking, I have nothing against her, I even think sometimes her words or ways of sendind the message are victims of misinterpretations, *BUT* - I agree with what you said as well. It has crossed my mind, that picking apart meals so much is very orthorexic still, and she conflicts her own words sometimes. The one thing that kind of set me off, was when she made a video on Natacha Oceane, basically being very nice, but pointed out how many 'clickbaity diet culture titles' she has for someone who claims to be intuitive eater, since weight loss is bad in any shape or form. Now, Natacha responded very politely with a comment, explaining that her intetnion is to grab the attention of people, who may still want/need to lose weight, and who search for those terms that might lead to more damaging, toxic diet channels otherwise (noting that she herself would search those term when she battled with ED.) And, that her programs are approved by UK Olympic team nutrition expert. Abbey responded, and they exchanged more comments, but I got a feeling of passive-agressivness real quick. She insisted that creating any sort of weight loss content is toxic, and that she essentially, just needs to 'self-reflect'. That was a real wtf moment for me.
THANK YOU for saying this. Abby is CLEARLY not fully recovered from her own ED and she irresponsibly projects it onto everyone she criticizes. So unprofessional.
I understand why certain people are scared to go vegan due to eating disorders etc, but personally veganism saved me. I had such bad bulimia, and if I hadn't gone vegan my teeth would probably be rotten by now.
I often used veganism as an excuse to restrict like when there weren’t any vegan options in a restaurant I conveniently couldn’t eat anything there.. but I guess it’s different for everyone 😊
@@CarolineSophie93 I've definitely done that as well! So I totally get that, but overall I'd say veganism is the best life-choice I've ever taken
Mika R. Jarwson Yeah I am still vegan and with all the vegan options now this excuse really doesn’t work too often anymore 😄
I went vegan with AN but I can actually swear it was out of not wanting to consume animal products anyomore, and not out of reducing calories, I dont really recommend it to anyone, but personally I'd wanted to go vegan for long and I dont feel it to be a restriction in any ways, now I dont really see animal products as food.
yeah, and eating disorders are just eating disorders. They come with every style of eating. Though when I was in my heavy disordered eating I would use veganism as an excuse if someone offered me cookies or whatever. Then on my binges I would eat all the dairy, cheesy things and I wouldn't care (no meat tho).
Now I'm not restrictive, but fully vegan :)
How much did freelee pay you for this? 😉 🤣
She paid me with 500 bananas!
@@HealthyCrazyCool 🤣🤣🤣
@@HealthyCrazyCool so no breakfast for her that day
I think that she wanted viewers to see she “likes” a vegan YTr and in order to do that she has to manipulate and choose what she reviewed... i think it’s shameful that she did that and then not even own up to it and explain to you why she removed it. Kudos for standing up for yourself even when she was “positive”
aLife2Dai4 this is so spot on!!
I don't have an explanation for her cutting out the fruit and I don't defend that, but she's liked other vegans' videos before: Cheap Lazy Vegan, Simnett Nutrition, Unnatural Vegan, etc..
When I started studying dietetics I made a motto on my mind; ''don't ever comment or pick anyone's way of eating appart unless asked by them. But, calling bullshit on stupid unscientific and unethical diet advice or a stupid diet is ok''. There are no authorities on nutrition but there is scientific evidence (it does no tell anyone how they should eat, because nutritional needs have a optimal range but need to be individualized, and instead gives general guidelines based on facts and evidence for people to implement and change them to fit their needs, habits, lifestyle and preferences) and health professional should listen to that. Nutrition organizations also compile scientific knowledge and give recommendations to make it easier. A good dietitian should know how to read the evidence and then tailor made their advice to every person. Health professionals (or anyone) don't get to have ''opinions'' or ''agree'' on what is healthy and what's not, that's why the diet and health world is so confusing for a lot of people. Its because a lot of people have opinions instead of facts (and tailored adviced based on those facts). Science is not an opinion. I fully agree that these ''diet reviews'' Abbey does are not correct because picking appart someone's eating without knowing the whole picture or without them EVEN ASKING is wrong, unethical and can be harmfull for others. But, talking about building a optimal diet, without opinons and based on facts, and giving an audience general advice and how they can blend it with their likes, needs and habits is okay. Picking appart its not. Because, at the end, there are a few optimal diets (and adaptations of them for health problems) but there are infinite ways of eating.
ngl I sometimes listen to her videos playing in the background but the alarm clocks of my bs detector are going off multiple times in each video. I think it’s so weird that many registered dietitians have this strict opinion on what’s the ideal diet even though every body works differently. I’m glad to be able to listen to what she has to say from an experiences perspective but damn I it’s sad to know that other more impressionable people watch this and get confused by these mixed messages
Another thing I think is important to note is that Abbey is NOT just some regular TH-camr filming vids in her kitchen. Her content is VERY produced and she films on a set! Much of what she says on camera is likely scripted by writers, and I doubt if she's even the one watching people's videos for the reviews (that's probably also the job of her production assistants). She is never going to promote or fully support a vegan diet because it's simply not in the financial interest of her producers and sponsors.
Really?I didn't know... Where did you see that?
unpopular opinion I LOVE abbey sharp shes helped me with eating soo much by showing how to be balanced. She’s also helped so many people with eating disorders about how to watch other people’s What I eat in a Day’s without being influenced! I get that she’s not perfect but id say she’s done more good than bad.
When most of the western world is obese and not underweight or with a restrictive ED, her advice falls short for most of us needing to lose weight.
This title is already getting me hyped. 🙌🏼 excited for watch!
Your confident yet humble demeanor is truly inspiring. Thank you for your words of wisdom and insight!
This was really interesting. I watch Abbey but you definitely made a lot of good points. I'm really disappointed she cut out meals from your video in her review, that's very disingenuous.
Personally, I'm trying to get to a chill vegan diet but that's also nutritionally balanced and while I find her videos helpful with what to consider, I do sometimes start overthinking meals/food which is an issue for me.
Thank you for the balanced chat about this, lots of food for thought.
