You should totally go on her podcast! I feel like it would make for good conversation plus you have such a good perspective on balanced eating lifestyle, it would probably be great for Jillian to hear.
Right, in California right now, a gallon of organic milk is 10$, but reg store brand is $3.99. With the amount of milk drunk at my house, I'd go broke on organic milk alone 🫠🫠

Jillian's advice feels rather financially privileged & she doesn't talk much about enjoying her food (it seems like a practicality description). It's sad that her advice has not changed much in the almost 20 years she's had a platform
Super privileged… Very few people can afford everything grass fed, organic, wild caught, etc. A lot of folks don’t even have access to most of this stuff, especially in rural areas like myself. Appreciate Abby’s reasonable advice.
@@75JayLady she actually occasionally talks on her TH-cam channel about her kids and how they eat their own things and have separate fridge and pantry space for more kid orientated food!
It’s definitely privileged and based on her believing everyone should go pay her a ton of money to train and it’s such bull because her credentials aren’t even that great, she’s not a kinesiologist, she has some crappy online certification. Her only expertise seems to be yelling at people.
As a personal trainer myself, she’s a joke, she couldn’t even pass the easiest trainer certification. She was asked to take the test she failed miserably and I don’t want to go there on the hardest one. The way she talked to those people would get me fired

Teresa, agreed! I’m also trained as a PT. Where I am, we are told specifically that we are not qualified to give dietary advice. If this comes up with a client, we are to refer on to a qualified dietitian!
Me eating store brand cream cheese, smoked salmon, sliced red onion and capers on triscuits feeling the Jillian Michaels burn for my bad behavior. I would repent but the fact that I’m also drinking a cherry coke probably means I’m beyond the point of being saved even though I accidentally intermittently fasted because time got away from me today and I forgot to eat. Can we all just eat to enjoy!

No, really, you made the right decision with regards to the podcast. Watching your video it occured to me that Jillian comes across as someone with a very hurt inner child who never dealt/confronted that pain. …So I googled her name and „bullied“ and found an article about her being bullied as a kid because she was overweight. I know she did horrible things to people ( trauma often generates more trauma) at the same time I can‘t help but feel really sorry for that hurt little girl inside of her.
I don't think you can underestimate the impact of growing up as a fat queer kid in the 80s. It clearly had a lasting impact on her priorities and world view. It also seems like such a sad mindset.
Oh wow! That makes sense. I did not know that. I do feel sorry for her in a way. It seems like she's just making her life harder for herself because of the pain/fear.

This was such a good reminder of how organic is not the be all and end all and also that intermittent fasting is not the best thing for most people. I am always hungry for breakfast and my husband is not, so we have adjusted and it has been great! I don't think people often work around having different needs than those around them. I love your videos! Thanks for your "science and sass"!

I watched Biggest Loser, and Jillian really confused me in adolescence. I didn’t even try to exercise until college because I refused to make myself sick or cry working out. Since I preferred to enjoy food I accepted being fat and dying early were my future. I’m still trying to erase that thinking in my late 20s.
Oh nooo!!!! PT here. This is literally unnecessary 😭 you can just take walks, do gardening, enjoy some dancing, swimming, cycling! So many things, just move! Everybody needs to move, its so much more than just body image! And don't forget the stretching, it literally helped my mental health so much and it feels great so be a little bit more flexible
AJ this is heart breaking. Moving our bodies doing something you love is actually ENJOYABLE I don’t do any exercise I don’t enjoy! Trying new hobbies is amazing … I hope you can give yourself permission to try and find something you enjoy that enriches your life with movement but is t about looking a certain way or ticking some ‘exercise’ box … best wishes.

It’s insane to me how we all took her advice. We all listened to her advice. She isn’t a professional nutritionist. My mom used to live the biggest loser as “inspiration” and this video healed me a lil 😭

That is an even sicker burn than you realize, as nutritionists do not require any formal education to call themselves that. It is not a protected title like dietician 😂
This was wonderfully done. About the podcast you were invited to. Yes, you can share with a different audience, that building a better relationship with food is lot better than starving yourself to loose weight, and turn around to regain the weight losses. You helped me a great deal in that I have learned to listen to my body and not feel ashamed when I have that bacon cheeseburger (Five Guys make a mean one in NY 😊).

I eat soup and salad with every meal, I didn't know there was a study about it. It just made sense to me for what I wanted to eat for a satisfying meal.

I love how emotional you are when you make these videos. Your low-key anger at 2000 diet mentality is everything throughout this entire video. It’s all in your eyes 😂❤😂

Yeah, but not surprised. They've been available in supplement form for ages now. I take turmeric as supplement daily. All three have been found to have specific health benefits, so they've been put into supplement form. That said, I think she refers to them that way because she's adding them to a drink, like people add supplements to smoothies. Basically, it's a diet/health culture thing.

I watched all your other Jillian videos yesterday this is funny timing to me😂 also I love you I don’t think a TH-camr has ever had a such a impact on my life but you’ve helped me get out of heading toward restricted eating once and adding in so much more health to my diet

I remember watching Julian as a child and saying I'm scared of her. Screaming and yelling in people's faces saying that they don't want it bad enough is so harmful.

Honestly I always ask for dressing on the side, but not because I think it's "bad"- I just think most restaurants use waaaay too much and I prefer the taste and texture when a salad is lightly dressed.

I love Jillian! She sometimes can be over the top. And not relatable. I’ll give you that. But she is well informed. I think her personality is just like that. You aren’t going to get much sympathy from her. She is def tough love kinda person. Some people like that and some people don’t. Also, she usually does disclose her partnership with that brand. I’d love to see you chat with her on her podcast. Maybe agree to disagree. Those are the types of conversations that generate change. Nobody wants to hear two people who just agree with each other on everything.
Julian and diet culture was a BIG reason why I developed my ED… being a teenager in the mid 2000 was really horrible, all of the magazines told girls how their bodies should look and glamorized ED… I learned this at my ED recovery center. The sad thing is we will never be totally free of diet culture… I know things have changed a bit..but personally I think diet culture will never go away, because people like this woman.

A lot of the supplements at Costco have a third party tested version. Costco is also a good option for lots of affordable healthy foods if you have the money and storage space to buy bulk. And they don't all have the same stuff, so if you have multiple ones in your area, check them out.

I definitely think you should reconsider and go on the podcast! You definitely have to accept that you won’t change her mind, but you ever know what the listeners might get from what you have to say. And discussing the importance of not moralizing food could influence change even if it’s years down the line!
I do agree with your point. We are so often trapped in our algorithm echo chamber that it’s hard to find different points of view. For someone that’s stuck in a toxic space mentally, it might be hard to find gentle nutrition tips online because they might not even have the vocabulary or even the notion that you can do things differently.

Thank you, Abby, for these videos! I grew up in an "everything is toxic" and "only essential oils can cure you" type of household. Pseudoscience ruled I, of course, subscribed to it. Then, after I moved out on my own, I found your videos. Watching you take the fear out of actual science as well as use sound arguments and data to back up your claims opened my eyes to how little footing the narrative I was told had to stand on. It lead me down a path of actually trusting science and data while building a better relationship with not only food but also other household items that I was told were harmful. I know my story isn't a drastic food-related story, but I thought you should know how much your videos changed my life for the better

Nah I don't think she should. I wouldn't put it past Jillian's editing team that they'd gut a lot of Abbey's content and give it a title like "Jillian Michaels OWNS an "aNtI-DiEt" fat apologist!!!111!!" so her supporters would lap it up. Plus if you watch any kind of interview that Jillian has done she's always talking over the other person, never lets them speak, and twists the other person's words to suit her argument... I wouldn't want anyone to put themselves through that!

I definitely think you should reconsider going on her podcast. It would be fascinating to hear from two people that have different views around nutrition and health and could be very beneficial and reassuring to people who actively listen to her but don't feel like they relate to everything she preaches. You are great and I think you could provide a lot of value to multiple platforms.

The way I feel about intermittent fasting is that if you have an eating window and you’re hungry and struggling to wait till you’re “allowed” to eat then it’s obvious you need to change your eating window OR stop doing intermittent fasting because your body is trying to tell you that it’s not for you. If waiting till noon or whatever time works for you feels comfortable than I don’t see a problem with it. Different strokes for different folks.
When it comes to coffee, the Fair Trade label is more important than organic certification anyway. Or checking with your local roaster about who they source their coffee from if you have a local roaster.

Love your content Abbey! And wanted to add that if the offer is still there you really should go on her podcast. It’d be very interesting to see the dialogue between the two of you and especially since your take on nutrition and our relationships with food is quite different from hers. Perhaps if anything it could be a way for you to educate her on the language she chooses to use around diet and health. I’d definitely ask to hear and okay the draft of the episode before it gets published though. Sending so much love❤

The “no pain, no gain” statement can be true in some senses-such as training to failure for muscle growth, or pushing a little farther for distance runners. However, Jillian has always seemed like the type who believes all pain will lead to gain, which is not true. That mentality can lead to compromised progress through injury, over-training or poor nutrition -the opposite of a good fitness regimen.

I was a young woman in the same era where Jillian was on the biggest loser and I have to say… her videos still give me anxiety. I have struggled with my weight since being a teenager, I have put my body through so much crap trying to lose weight. I am still trying to find the perfect balance for me, your advice helps me a lot, Jillian does not seem to get what balance is all about.. and therefore she is not the best nutrition expert.
Yep. I was obsessed with the BL when I was at the height of my ED. Can't believe I used to watch such a disgusting show but I guess it was selling me my dream.

Where is her enjoyment for food???The organic word was too repetitive and showed her privilege. Thanks Abbey for reviewing this, it was so refreshing to get your breakdown as always.

It seems really sad to hate your body so much that you have to deprive it of enjoyment and happiness for “health”. Really health is kindness and love for your body and it’s needs.

I love that you do the research and you get down to all the different aspects of the way that one eats. I really like the coffee points and the way that you're researching whether or not intermitted fasting is beneficial. I fast 14 hours a day, to avoid late snacking.

When I was losing weight, I had burgers and donkatsu and other foods I liked almost everyday and still lost weight with exercise and not overeating. You do not have to eat what you don’t like as long as the meals are well balanced.

I found you when I was struggling with SIBO and seemed like you were going to be so helpful. It felt like a lifeline. You are so very educated and knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition and great at video content. I would really love to hear more about what we should be doing instead of these negative videos. I get the desire to refute bad info and that work is important,, but ultimately, we need to know what we should be doing. I care about my health and the health of my loved ones and there is so much more value in positive content.
I have been bingeing your videos since I found you youtube about a month ago. I feel like I have been living a lie with being so absorbed in diet culture. I used to love the biggest loser. It been eye opening really. Now on to trying to heal my relationship with food.

Hi! I just wanted to comment on the fact that you always recommend speaking to a dietician about your own unique needs and stuff like that. I totally agree; HOWEVER, I used to struggle immensely with anorexia, I weighed less than 85 pounds and went to a dietician. I told her my goal is to eat over 2000 calories, and she just said it is too much, and gave me a meal plan with 1200 calories. Looking back and thinking about that now, it is even more insane to me now than it was back then. I thankfully didn't listen to her advice and somehow pulled myself out of that hole myself (with the help of psychiatrists and therapy) within a few years. I just wish every dietician was as responsible as you when it comes to the amount of calories our bodies need. I really appreciate your no-BS approach to food and calories and your positive and encouraging language around food. Keep it up!
It amazes me how much she (probably) works out and yet how little she eats and how restrictive she is with her diet, it just doesn’t seem worth it no matter what benefits she’s claiming

Great to know about coffee! I’d been stressing about organic but I do feel prioritizing organic with the most at risk foods (eg strawberries) to fit in my budget. Thanks @Abbey!
While Jilian's diet may seem a bit restrictive, we have to remember Abbey's recent video about the metabolism of people who have lost weight and are trying to maintain a lower weight. As a former overweight person, Jillian has to work extra hard to maintain her current weight. While she may not be in a caloric deficit, she will still have to be vigilant with her intake to maintain her current weight. I do think she could probably eat more fat (if she wanted to) if she is not trying to lose weight.
I'm literally cackling from Abbey's remark at 16:20 asking how any of this is relatable 😂😂😂. This is so far from relatable because I don't have a budget of $2000 a month for all organic groceries 😂. I mean, whatever works for her, but that is too restrictive for most people.
But why does she need to be relatable to the average person? I personally find it way more relatable that she cares about organic food than Abbey eating bad quality fast food or cake like she does in many of her more recent videos. Some people care about the quality of their food and about how their way of eating impacts the planet and animals. Sure, not everyone can afford that, I’m aware of that, but I’m glad whenever I see influencers who don’t just get the cheapest stuff but things I would actually buy.
@@Diana-qp2rw A lot of people want those who are recommending their diet to others to.. idk.. have an attainable diet. Also. Again. The environmental impacts or organics is heavily debated, as organic still uses pesticides. I would much prefer abbey as I could watch jillian until my ears fall off. I cant afford a single fucking thing she buys so I can't replicate her diet. At all Edit: Why does eating fast food or cake mean you don't care about your diet? why must I be 100% clean all the time to care about my diet and the health of my food
I remember doing one workout video from Jillian, and it remember it was hard. I now understand exercises are supposed to make you feel good and not to torture you.

Her 30 day shred diet has that?? I did a dumb "cleanse" with friends who sold Young Living Essential oils and they taught a cayenne pepper lemon water drink first thing in the morning for digestion 🤷♀️ and it was a one of the steps for cleansing parasites. I dunno, I did a modified version since I didn't want to buy the extra supplements so I don't think I really had any benefits.
I can’t win the conversation with people obsessing over buying organic for every single thing. Like how long do you think you’re stretching your life. I won’t have enough funds to live that long if I go all organic now. Demonizing or fear-mongering on conventional food doesn’t help those with restricted budgets or irregular eating habits. Most days I’m grateful if I decide to put in the effort of eating actual whole food instead of hot Cheetos and cream cheese. As if getting the organic cream cheese would somehow make my eating more responsible/clean?
I think you should reconsider going on her podcast. Maybe not to change everyone's minds on everything, but I'm sure you could change someone's mind about something - if not just start watching your channel and learning along the way for slow change, like I did 😊
She and her moralising rhetoric sound utterly exhausting. I don’t think you’d get through a meal without a lecture. I wouldn’t do her podcast if I were you. I don’t think it’d be a discussion, just her banging on about how everything should be organic.
I’d love to listen to that podcast. At the end of the day, everyone can have their own opinion, but It might be a breath of fresh air for some of those listeners!!

Jillian used to be overweight and unappreciated. She’s taking out her past frustrations onto other people. So it’s tough love. Kinda like JK Simmons’ character in Whiplash. In a way, she’s helping people grow a tougher skin, but the low calorie fad diet is dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you’ve had the Bariatric surgery

For someone who's already small, it does seem like she talks like she's trying to lose weight instead of maintaining the weight that she's at, which is kind of confusing. Also, I do like fasting and I have heard of the benefits of fasting. When I fast I feel like I am in control of myself more. It makes me feel like I'm more powerful. But I realized that I started using fasting in an unhealthy way. Like when I would eat unhealthy one day I would be like okay. Well tomorrow I'm just going to fast so that today doesn't seem so bad. And I kind of started to scare myself. So I've kind of lightened up on fasting. And your channel really made me realize that I need to fix my relationship with food before I go back to fasting or even consider fasting again. Because I realized I only think of food as something that is going to make me lose weight or gain weight and that's not a great feeling.
Thank you Abbey for another insightful talk. I wasn't totally aware of who she is but she does sound very entrenched in old-fashioned views. To be honest even just the calling it "some protein" makes her sound obsolete and like she has a utilitarian relationship with her food which to me is sad. Opposite of intuitive eating as far as I can tell..

Hey Abby, can you do Elizabeth Taylors diet from her book? I know it's from the eighties but it seems like a reasonable diet plan, just curious on your thoughts xx
Hmm, my grandpa lived to be 103 and was pretty active up until the last year. He ate the classic mediterranean diet, no junk food. It was not low calorie lol. He also got plenty of exercise in the form of gardening and walking. The organic label in the US is pretty much a joke. Jillian is just pure cringe.
I think it would be worth it because before watching you, i used to idolize that kind of mentality and have since found more balance in my diet and the way fuel myself
I only created this account to write a comment (have been watching your for over 2 years) and before that Micheal's way gave me a pretty wrong idea how i should eat, train or how i should see myself. And i do think, even if you just reach one person through going to her podcast - it would be worth the trouble. Because a couple of years ago, i was just this one person who began their healing journey and right education bc of one single video from you. But i do want to stress out, don't do it if its mentally too stresfull. Maybe request that you can be part of the editing process of the podcast. THANK YOU again.
My mom had the Jillian Michaels Wii game when I was a kid and my friend and I tried to play it once. The intro said “you know whose game you’re playing, right?” We got so scared because it was my mom’s game and we thought Jillian Michaels knew 😂 we turned it off so fast!
Please do her podcast!!! There's no point only speaking to your own bubble of the Internet! Reach across the aisle and Worst case scenario, most people won't hear it but a few might and they might not have ever heard it before. They could be stuck in their hollow parched shaming worlds of diet culture and you could be a tiny spark for them that starts a raging fire of positive change.
I recently commented on two videos about longevity regimens. I commented that I have no desire to fast long-term or do heavy weightlifting. That I eat what feels good to me, do exercise that feels good to my body, sleep well and try my best to take care of myself. Apparently I'm doing it all wrong lol The replies I got back were total disagreement. I should do exactly like them if I want to be healthy. Yeah...doing things I absolutely hate and being miserable my whole life sound not so good. Everyone is different. Being the best I can be and being happy with myself and my body is so important. What works for me might not work for someone else. I wouldn't dream of trying to convince someone else to eat or exercise like I do. It just triggers the self doubt in myself and feelings of inadequacy because I can't live up to a perfect lifestyle. Take care of yourself everyone. ❤
I’m a final year biology student and one of my lecturers focuses on research on ageing. There is some experimental evidence suggesting that restricted diet improves lifespan in both healthy and infected Drosophila melanogaster. However, as said, the research has been done only on flies. While there seems to be some evidence suggesting that this could be true in humans, it’s far too early to tell and should not be practiced without supervision (or at all really).
Unfunny fact: We still have „the biggest loser“ here in Germany- with a new season Every year😢😢😢😢 they tried to make it more healthy last year but still starving yourself and mostly the biggest male person wins who loses the most weight …. and it is one of the few plus size pplrepresentation in German tv 😢
Oder diese Gegenüberstellung von Erwachsenen und KINDERN!!! ich weiß nicht mehr wie es heißt aber ein extremes Essverhalten gegen das andere und diese Menschen tauschen, leiden, und das soll die Unterhaltung sein😢
@@jasminb.5135 Und es ist ja mehr oder weniger die einzige Repräsentation von Menschen in einer größeren Kleidergröße innerhalb vom deutschsprachigen Fernsehen. Ich weiß nicht, ob du das mitbekommen hast, ich hab vor kurzem ein Interview mit einer Tatort-Kommissarin, Stefanie Reinsperger gelesen, die ein bisschen höheres Gewicht hat und die kriegt einfach jedes Mal wenn sie im Fernsehen läuft richtig viel Hass ab und richtig krasse Gewalttaten, auch analog.😢 ich bin selbst heute Plussize nachdem ich jahrelang essgestört schlank war und bin total glücklich, dass ich für mich intuitives essen und Health at every size entdeckt habe durch den englischsprachigen Raum, weil ich Verwandte im englischsprachigen Raum habe… Aber ich denk halt oft: wow, es ist hier wirklich sehr toxisch in den deutschen Medien und auch, wenn ich ins Fitness Center gehe und trainieren gehe ist es manchmal echt seltsam, weil die Leute dann erstens überrascht sind, dass ich so fit bin, weil ich täglich Sport mache und zweitens dass sie sich wundern, dass ich Nicht Sport mache zum abnehmen, sondern weil Sport richtig viele andere tolle Dinge kann😂

Ah hope this comes to Canada! I’ll need to check it out :)
You should totally go on her podcast! I feel like it would make for good conversation plus you have such a good perspective on balanced eating lifestyle, it would probably be great for Jillian to hear.
also, i wish people like jillian understood that organic everything isn’t financially accessible to most people.
Yep. Especially with grocery prices right now!
Right, in California right now, a gallon of organic milk is 10$, but reg store brand is $3.99. With the amount of milk drunk at my house, I'd go broke on organic milk alone 🫠🫠
And that it means nothing. Organic doesn’t matter.
or even necessary!
@@B_27 idk does she make it seem like you have to have those to eat well? 🤔
I lived on a coffee plantation in Hawaii for years and picked coffee, we were organic but couldn't afford the organic lable nor did we care honestly.
Love Hawaiian coffee!!!

@@rougaroo642 Right? 🤣
only ORGANIC drinks though 😆
I was thinking the same…but can we get “Organic” alcoholic beverages? 🤭🙄
My life is so much better since I stopped listening to Jillian’s diet and fitness advice. Watching this shows me how far I’ve come in my recovery.

Yay you!!!! Genuinely love to hear that
I guarantee you, Gillian isn't invited to dinner parties!
wow Jillian, eating a bagel... you're really livin on the edge
😂😭💀
Very hardcore🥯
Jillian's advice feels rather financially privileged & she doesn't talk much about enjoying her food (it seems like a practicality description). It's sad that her advice has not changed much in the almost 20 years she's had a platform
Yes that is interesting to note!
I also worry about her children seeing mom eat like this....
Super privileged… Very few people can afford everything grass fed, organic, wild caught, etc. A lot of folks don’t even have access to most of this stuff, especially in rural areas like myself. Appreciate Abby’s reasonable advice.
@@75JayLady she actually occasionally talks on her TH-cam channel about her kids and how they eat their own things and have separate fridge and pantry space for more kid orientated food!
It’s definitely privileged and based on her believing everyone should go pay her a ton of money to train and it’s such bull because her credentials aren’t even that great, she’s not a kinesiologist, she has some crappy online certification. Her only expertise seems to be yelling at people.
As a personal trainer myself, she’s a joke, she couldn’t even pass the easiest trainer certification. She was asked to take the test she failed miserably and I don’t want to go there on the hardest one. The way she talked to those people would get me fired
Yes to being fired!!!

Teresa, agreed! I’m also trained as a PT. Where I am, we are told specifically that we are not qualified to give dietary advice. If this comes up with a client, we are to refer on to a qualified dietitian!
I don't follow her. In fact I barely heard of her, but she terrifying. So much anger.
@@thatsalt1560 yeah really agree!
Me eating store brand cream cheese, smoked salmon, sliced red onion and capers on triscuits feeling the Jillian Michaels burn for my bad behavior. I would repent but the fact that I’m also drinking a cherry coke probably means I’m beyond the point of being saved even though I accidentally intermittently fasted because time got away from me today and I forgot to eat. Can we all just eat to enjoy!

No, really, you made the right decision with regards to the podcast. Watching your video it occured to me that Jillian comes across as someone with a very hurt inner child who never dealt/confronted that pain. …So I googled her name and „bullied“ and found an article about her being bullied as a kid because she was overweight. I know she did horrible things to people ( trauma often generates more trauma) at the same time I can‘t help but feel really sorry for that hurt little girl inside of her.
Yep, it's sad💔
I don't think you can underestimate the impact of growing up as a fat queer kid in the 80s. It clearly had a lasting impact on her priorities and world view. It also seems like such a sad mindset.
Oh wow! That makes sense. I did not know that. I do feel sorry for her in a way. It seems like she's just making her life harder for herself because of the pain/fear.

My concern is how her kids are going to grow up being raised by her views.
Wow never been so early. It's wild how many people make their whole personality being tough.
Same
This was such a good reminder of how organic is not the be all and end all and also that intermittent fasting is not the best thing for most people. I am always hungry for breakfast and my husband is not, so we have adjusted and it has been great! I don't think people often work around having different needs than those around them. I love your videos! Thanks for your "science and sass"!

I watched Biggest Loser, and Jillian really confused me in adolescence. I didn’t even try to exercise until college because I refused to make myself sick or cry working out. Since I preferred to enjoy food I accepted being fat and dying early were my future. I’m still trying to erase that thinking in my late 20s.
Oh nooo!!!! PT here. This is literally unnecessary 😭 you can just take walks, do gardening, enjoy some dancing, swimming, cycling! So many things, just move! Everybody needs to move, its so much more than just body image! And don't forget the stretching, it literally helped my mental health so much and it feels great so be a little bit more flexible
AJ this is heart breaking. Moving our bodies doing something you love is actually ENJOYABLE I don’t do any exercise I don’t enjoy! Trying new hobbies is amazing … I hope you can give yourself permission to try and find something you enjoy that enriches your life with movement but is t about looking a certain way or ticking some ‘exercise’ box … best wishes.

It’s insane to me how we all took her advice. We all listened to her advice. She isn’t a professional nutritionist. My mom used to live the biggest loser as “inspiration” and this video healed me a lil 😭

I vividly remember the biggest looser pushing me further into my ED as a teen.
That is an even sicker burn than you realize, as nutritionists do not require any formal education to call themselves that. It is not a protected title like dietician 😂
This was wonderfully done. About the podcast you were invited to. Yes, you can share with a different audience, that building a better relationship with food is lot better than starving yourself to loose weight, and turn around to regain the weight losses. You helped me a great deal in that I have learned to listen to my body and not feel ashamed when I have that bacon cheeseburger (Five Guys make a mean one in NY 😊).

I eat soup and salad with every meal, I didn't know there was a study about it. It just made sense to me for what I wanted to eat for a satisfying meal.

I love how emotional you are when you make these videos. Your low-key anger at 2000 diet mentality is everything throughout this entire video. It’s all in your eyes 😂❤😂
Haha it ruined us all though
only organic shots though 😂

jillian michaels' voice triggers my fight or flight response
lol her energy is so dense and high-strung with nerves on rules, rules, rules
Am I the only one just baffled by the fact that she just described matcha and cinnamon and ginger as supplements?? Those are...foods.
Yeah, but not surprised. They've been available in supplement form for ages now. I take turmeric as supplement daily. All three have been found to have specific health benefits, so they've been put into supplement form. That said, I think she refers to them that way because she's adding them to a drink, like people add supplements to smoothies. Basically, it's a diet/health culture thing.
Haha!

I watched all your other Jillian videos yesterday this is funny timing to me😂 also I love you I don’t think a TH-camr has ever had a such a impact on my life but you’ve helped me get out of heading toward restricted eating once and adding in so much more health to my diet
Oh I'm so happy to hear this. Thanks for watching❤

I remember watching Julian as a child and saying I'm scared of her. Screaming and yelling in people's faces saying that they don't want it bad enough is so harmful.

Honestly I always ask for dressing on the side, but not because I think it's "bad"- I just think most restaurants use waaaay too much and I prefer the taste and texture when a salad is lightly dressed.

I love your channel. You voice talks in my head when I am loading up a healthy plate three times a day. It is fuel, it is health. Eat.
I love Jillian! She sometimes can be over the top. And not relatable. I’ll give you that. But she is well informed. I think her personality is just like that. You aren’t going to get much sympathy from her. She is def tough love kinda person. Some people like that and some people don’t.
Also, she usually does disclose her partnership with that brand.
I’d love to see you chat with her on her podcast. Maybe agree to disagree. Those are the types of conversations that generate change. Nobody wants to hear two people who just agree with each other on everything.
Julian and diet culture was a BIG reason why I developed my ED… being a teenager in the mid 2000 was really horrible, all of the magazines told girls how their bodies should look and glamorized ED… I learned this at my ED recovery center. The sad thing is we will never be totally free of diet culture… I know things have changed a bit..but personally I think diet culture will never go away, because people like this woman.

A lot of the supplements at Costco have a third party tested version. Costco is also a good option for lots of affordable healthy foods if you have the money and storage space to buy bulk. And they don't all have the same stuff, so if you have multiple ones in your area, check them out.
Costco is not very friendly to single people😂

I definitely think you should reconsider and go on the podcast! You definitely have to accept that you won’t change her mind, but you ever know what the listeners might get from what you have to say. And discussing the importance of not moralizing food could influence change even if it’s years down the line!
I do agree with your point. We are so often trapped in our algorithm echo chamber that it’s hard to find different points of view. For someone that’s stuck in a toxic space mentally, it might be hard to find gentle nutrition tips online because they might not even have the vocabulary or even the notion that you can do things differently.

Thank you, Abby, for these videos!
I grew up in an "everything is toxic" and "only essential oils can cure you" type of household. Pseudoscience ruled I, of course, subscribed to it. Then, after I moved out on my own, I found your videos. Watching you take the fear out of actual science as well as use sound arguments and data to back up your claims opened my eyes to how little footing the narrative I was told had to stand on. It lead me down a path of actually trusting science and data while building a better relationship with not only food but also other household items that I was told were harmful. I know my story isn't a drastic food-related story, but I thought you should know how much your videos changed my life for the better

I think it would be awesome for you to go on her podcast and challenge her & her audience! It could be a really fruitful conversation
I was kind of wanting to hear it…also kinda scared to hear it😂
Nah I don't think she should. I wouldn't put it past Jillian's editing team that they'd gut a lot of Abbey's content and give it a title like "Jillian Michaels OWNS an "aNtI-DiEt" fat apologist!!!111!!" so her supporters would lap it up. Plus if you watch any kind of interview that Jillian has done she's always talking over the other person, never lets them speak, and twists the other person's words to suit her argument... I wouldn't want anyone to put themselves through that!

I actually really enjoy Jillians podcast. Very different than her personality on TV and she interviews great professionals!
I definitely think you should reconsider going on her podcast. It would be fascinating to hear from two people that have different views around nutrition and health and could be very beneficial and reassuring to people who actively listen to her but don't feel like they relate to everything she preaches. You are great and I think you could provide a lot of value to multiple platforms.

The way I feel about intermittent fasting is that if you have an eating window and you’re hungry and struggling to wait till you’re “allowed” to eat then it’s obvious you need to change your eating window OR stop doing intermittent fasting because your body is trying to tell you that it’s not for you. If waiting till noon or whatever time works for you feels comfortable than I don’t see a problem with it. Different strokes for different folks.
When it comes to coffee, the Fair Trade label is more important than organic certification anyway. Or checking with your local roaster about who they source their coffee from if you have a local roaster.

Love your content Abbey! And wanted to add that if the offer is still there you really should go on her podcast. It’d be very interesting to see the dialogue between the two of you and especially since your take on nutrition and our relationships with food is quite different from hers. Perhaps if anything it could be a way for you to educate her on the language she chooses to use around diet and health. I’d definitely ask to hear and okay the draft of the episode before it gets published though. Sending so much love❤

The “no pain, no gain” statement can be true in some senses-such as training to failure for muscle growth, or pushing a little farther for distance runners.
However, Jillian has always seemed like the type who believes all pain will lead to gain, which is not true. That mentality can lead to compromised progress through injury, over-training or poor nutrition -the opposite of a good fitness regimen.

I was a young woman in the same era where Jillian was on the biggest loser and I have to say… her videos still give me anxiety. I have struggled with my weight since being a teenager, I have put my body through so much crap trying to lose weight. I am still trying to find the perfect balance for me, your advice helps me a lot, Jillian does not seem to get what balance is all about.. and therefore she is not the best nutrition expert.
Yep. I was obsessed with the BL when I was at the height of my ED. Can't believe I used to watch such a disgusting show but I guess it was selling me my dream.

Whatever about her loopy diet advice, Jillian has missed her true calling in stand up comedy. “Organic string cheese” - oh my sides!😂😂😂
It’s positively absurd lol
You should definitely do her podcast!! I'd be intrigued to see how it would turn out, to have a discussion with two people who really disagree haha
Where is her enjoyment for food???The organic word was too repetitive and showed her privilege. Thanks Abbey for reviewing this, it was so refreshing to get your breakdown as always.
Like these Videos way more than the "eating like..." ones 👍🏻😄

It seems really sad to hate your body so much that you have to deprive it of enjoyment and happiness for “health”. Really health is kindness and love for your body and it’s needs.

I love that you do the research and you get down to all the different aspects of the way that one eats. I really like the coffee points and the way that you're researching whether or not intermitted fasting is beneficial. I fast 14 hours a day, to avoid late snacking.

When I was losing weight, I had burgers and donkatsu and other foods I liked almost everyday and still lost weight with exercise and not overeating. You do not have to eat what you don’t like as long as the meals are well balanced.
Here’s examples of what different days of eating would look like for her:
Coffee with cream

It’s funny how she’s so worried about autophogy, since excessive protein intake and fat intake greatly increases MTOR.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, and love all over the world, I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust if you don't mind. I'm Doctor Christopher Johnson from San Francisco, California, where are you from if I may ask?
Damn username certainly checks out!! Really, interesting thanks for sharing
I found you when I was struggling with SIBO and seemed like you were going to be so helpful. It felt like a lifeline. You are so very educated and knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition and great at video content. I would really love to hear more about what we should be doing instead of these negative videos. I get the desire to refute bad info and that work is important,, but ultimately, we need to know what we should be doing. I care about my health and the health of my loved ones and there is so much more value in positive content.
I have been bingeing your videos since I found you youtube about a month ago. I feel like I have been living a lie with being so absorbed in diet culture. I used to love the biggest loser. It been eye opening really. Now on to trying to heal my relationship with food.

Have you see the new Canadian recommendations for alcohol consumption? Goes against the J-curve for alcohol consumption😮
Pffffft. She is obviously very proud of her own discipline. But I am happy that I learned from you, Abby, to keep it real
Anyone else notice how Jillian keeps pushing up the sleeves to her shirt? Also, most people can't afford that much organic stuff.
Same with our beef farm. Our cows are all grass fed and organic but we can’t afford the labels here in California so it is just sold as regular beef.
Hi! I just wanted to comment on the fact that you always recommend speaking to a dietician about your own unique needs and stuff like that. I totally agree; HOWEVER, I used to struggle immensely with anorexia, I weighed less than 85 pounds and went to a dietician. I told her my goal is to eat over 2000 calories, and she just said it is too much, and gave me a meal plan with 1200 calories. Looking back and thinking about that now, it is even more insane to me now than it was back then. I thankfully didn't listen to her advice and somehow pulled myself out of that hole myself (with the help of psychiatrists and therapy) within a few years. I just wish every dietician was as responsible as you when it comes to the amount of calories our bodies need. I really appreciate your no-BS approach to food and calories and your positive and encouraging language around food. Keep it up!
It amazes me how much she (probably) works out and yet how little she eats and how restrictive she is with her diet, it just doesn’t seem worth it no matter what benefits she’s claiming

There is nothing wrong with carbs! Great points Abbey!!! As always!
Loved the coffee info thanks Abbey!

Abbey-sass is my FAVORITE type of sass.
Haha thank you
Great to know about coffee! I’d been stressing about organic but I do feel prioritizing organic with the most at risk foods (eg strawberries) to fit in my budget. Thanks @Abbey!
While Jilian's diet may seem a bit restrictive, we have to remember Abbey's recent video about the metabolism of people who have lost weight and are trying to maintain a lower weight. As a former overweight person, Jillian has to work extra hard to maintain her current weight. While she may not be in a caloric deficit, she will still have to be vigilant with her intake to maintain her current weight. I do think she could probably eat more fat (if she wanted to) if she is not trying to lose weight.
I'm literally cackling from Abbey's remark at 16:20 asking how any of this is relatable 😂😂😂. This is so far from relatable because I don't have a budget of $2000 a month for all organic groceries 😂. I mean, whatever works for her, but that is too restrictive for most people.
But why does she need to be relatable to the average person?
I personally find it way more relatable that she cares about organic food than Abbey eating bad quality fast food or cake like she does in many of her more recent videos. Some people care about the quality of their food and about how their way of eating impacts the planet and animals.
Sure, not everyone can afford that, I’m aware of that, but I’m glad whenever I see influencers who don’t just get the cheapest stuff but things I would actually buy.
@@Diana-qp2rw A lot of people want those who are recommending their diet to others to.. idk.. have an attainable diet.
Also. Again. The environmental impacts or organics is heavily debated, as organic still uses pesticides.
I would much prefer abbey as I could watch jillian until my ears fall off. I cant afford a single fucking thing she buys so I can't replicate her diet. At all
Edit:
Why does eating fast food or cake mean you don't care about your diet? why must I be 100% clean all the time to care about my diet and the health of my food
I think you should go on her podcast tbh. It's be interesting to watch both come together
I remember doing one workout video from Jillian, and it remember it was hard.
I now understand exercises are supposed to make you feel good and not to torture you.
I remember stumbling upon her 30 ? day shred videos when I was a teen and doing that stupid cayenne /lemon juice diet ahhh crazy times

Her 30 day shred diet has that?? I did a dumb "cleanse" with friends who sold Young Living Essential oils and they taught a cayenne pepper lemon water drink first thing in the morning for digestion 🤷♀️ and it was a one of the steps for cleansing parasites. I dunno, I did a modified version since I didn't want to buy the extra supplements so I don't think I really had any benefits.
I can’t win the conversation with people obsessing over buying organic for every single thing. Like how long do you think you’re stretching your life. I won’t have enough funds to live that long if I go all organic now. Demonizing or fear-mongering on conventional food doesn’t help those with restricted budgets or irregular eating habits. Most days I’m grateful if I decide to put in the effort of eating actual whole food instead of hot Cheetos and cream cheese. As if getting the organic cream cheese would somehow make my eating more responsible/clean?
I think you should reconsider going on her podcast. Maybe not to change everyone's minds on everything, but I'm sure you could change someone's mind about something - if not just start watching your channel and learning along the way for slow change, like I did 😊
With the coffee bit.. PREACH IT Abbey!
She and her moralising rhetoric sound utterly exhausting. I don’t think you’d get through a meal without a lecture. I wouldn’t do her podcast if I were you. I don’t think it’d be a discussion, just her banging on about how everything should be organic.
I’d love to listen to that podcast. At the end of the day, everyone can have their own opinion, but It might be a breath of fresh air for some of those listeners!!

Jillian looks great and not too thin either. She’s very muscular and toned. Clearly her diet works for her
I love your channel and your reviews. You are so smart and so sassy❤

Hey Abbey! Could you please do an updated video on birth control and related effects? like effects on muscle gain, mood changes, libido etc.

Abbey's hair color and style just amazing here 😍
I think the podcast could be really interesting. I do have concerns though Jillian does have bully energy.
Jillian used to be overweight and unappreciated. She’s taking out her past frustrations onto other people. So it’s tough love. Kinda like JK Simmons’ character in Whiplash. In a way, she’s helping people grow a tougher skin, but the low calorie fad diet is dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you’ve had the Bariatric surgery
I would totally cheer you on if you did her podcast!

Keep the sass coming, please!💕
Absolutely I think you both can inspire people to at least improve the toxic sad diet. Do the conversation with Jillian!
For someone who's already small, it does seem like she talks like she's trying to lose weight instead of maintaining the weight that she's at, which is kind of confusing. Also, I do like fasting and I have heard of the benefits of fasting. When I fast I feel like I am in control of myself more. It makes me feel like I'm more powerful. But I realized that I started using fasting in an unhealthy way. Like when I would eat unhealthy one day I would be like okay. Well tomorrow I'm just going to fast so that today doesn't seem so bad. And I kind of started to scare myself. So I've kind of lightened up on fasting. And your channel really made me realize that I need to fix my relationship with food before I go back to fasting or even consider fasting again. Because I realized I only think of food as something that is going to make me lose weight or gain weight and that's not a great feeling.
Thank you Abbey for another insightful talk. I wasn't totally aware of who she is but she does sound very entrenched in old-fashioned views. To be honest even just the calling it "some protein" makes her sound obsolete and like she has a utilitarian relationship with her food which to me is sad. Opposite of intuitive eating as far as I can tell..

I think you definitely should reconsider! This is a great opportunity to debunk all the diet misconceptions

Hey Abby, can you do Elizabeth Taylors diet from her book? I know it's from the eighties but it seems like a reasonable diet plan, just curious on your thoughts xx
Hmm, my grandpa lived to be 103 and was pretty active up until the last year. He ate the classic mediterranean diet, no junk food. It was not low calorie lol. He also got plenty of exercise in the form of gardening and walking. The organic label in the US is pretty much a joke. Jillian is just pure cringe.
I love that for your grandpa!
I think it would be worth it because before watching you, i used to idolize that kind of mentality and have since found more balance in my diet and the way fuel myself
I only created this account to write a comment (have been watching your for over 2 years) and before that Micheal's way gave me a pretty wrong idea how i should eat, train or how i should see myself. And i do think, even if you just reach one person through going to her podcast - it would be worth the trouble. Because a couple of years ago, i was just this one person who began their healing journey and right education bc of one single video from you. But i do want to stress out, don't do it if its mentally too stresfull. Maybe request that you can be part of the editing process of the podcast. THANK YOU again.
My mom had the Jillian Michaels Wii game when I was a kid and my friend and I tried to play it once. The intro said “you know whose game you’re playing, right?” We got so scared because it was my mom’s game and we thought Jillian Michaels knew 😂 we turned it off so fast!
Please do her podcast!!! There's no point only speaking to your own bubble of the Internet! Reach across the aisle and Worst case scenario, most people won't hear it but a few might and they might not have ever heard it before. They could be stuck in their hollow parched shaming worlds of diet culture and you could be a tiny spark for them that starts a raging fire of positive change.
I recently commented on two videos about longevity regimens. I commented that I have no desire to fast long-term or do heavy weightlifting. That I eat what feels good to me, do exercise that feels good to my body, sleep well and try my best to take care of myself.
Apparently I'm doing it all wrong lol The replies I got back were total disagreement. I should do exactly like them if I want to be healthy. Yeah...doing things I absolutely hate and being miserable my whole life sound not so good.
Everyone is different. Being the best I can be and being happy with myself and my body is so important. What works for me might not work for someone else. I wouldn't dream of trying to convince someone else to eat or exercise like I do.
It just triggers the self doubt in myself and feelings of inadequacy because I can't live up to a perfect lifestyle.
Take care of yourself everyone. ❤
The amount of times she says organic😂😂😂
I’m a final year biology student and one of my lecturers focuses on research on ageing. There is some experimental evidence suggesting that restricted diet improves lifespan in both healthy and infected Drosophila melanogaster. However, as said, the research has been done only on flies. While there seems to be some evidence suggesting that this could be true in humans, it’s far too early to tell and should not be practiced without supervision (or at all really).
I love your new background Abbey!!!
Unfunny fact: We still have „the biggest loser“ here in Germany- with a new season Every year😢😢😢😢 they tried to make it more healthy last year but still starving yourself and mostly the biggest male person wins who loses the most weight …. and it is one of the few plus size pplrepresentation in German tv 😢
Oder diese Gegenüberstellung von Erwachsenen und KINDERN!!! ich weiß nicht mehr wie es heißt aber ein extremes Essverhalten gegen das andere und diese Menschen tauschen, leiden, und das soll die Unterhaltung sein😢
@@jasminb.5135 Und es ist ja mehr oder weniger die einzige Repräsentation von Menschen in einer größeren Kleidergröße innerhalb vom deutschsprachigen Fernsehen. Ich weiß nicht, ob du das mitbekommen hast, ich hab vor kurzem ein Interview mit einer Tatort-Kommissarin, Stefanie Reinsperger gelesen, die ein bisschen höheres Gewicht hat und die kriegt einfach jedes Mal wenn sie im Fernsehen läuft richtig viel Hass ab und richtig krasse Gewalttaten, auch analog.😢 ich bin selbst heute Plussize nachdem ich jahrelang essgestört schlank war und bin total glücklich, dass ich für mich intuitives essen und Health at every size entdeckt habe durch den englischsprachigen Raum, weil ich Verwandte im englischsprachigen Raum habe… Aber ich denk halt oft: wow, es ist hier wirklich sehr toxisch in den deutschen Medien und auch, wenn ich ins Fitness Center gehe und trainieren gehe ist es manchmal echt seltsam, weil die Leute dann erstens überrascht sind, dass ich so fit bin, weil ich täglich Sport mache und zweitens dass sie sich wundern, dass ich Nicht Sport mache zum abnehmen, sondern weil Sport richtig viele andere tolle Dinge kann😂
for some reason, jillian reminds me of an over glorified beach body coach.
I'm a very peaceful patient person. But if someone screamed it my face like that she would have a very bad day lol
