Hey everyone, I’m Abbey Sharp, welcome to Abbey’s Kitchen. In todays video we will be reviewing weight loss TH-camr, Beatrice Caruso.
This video was originally filmed several weeks ago. Since then, Beatrice has released content suggesting she has been struggling with binge eating. I do not promote weight loss efforts for folks suffering from active eating disorders. If you are struggling with your eating please see the following resources.

I’m just here to make sure nobody is throwing shade on our girl Bea 🙂
Ditto!!
Same
Me too x
Haha SAME!!!
Yes, same!
I think "came for the weightless, stayed for Bea" is a fairly common phrase by now. A lot of people don't watch her for her weightless journey but because she is relatable. She looks like a friend talking about ups and downs, not some girl starting with size zero talking trying out some weightless trend
Pretty sure I’ve made that exact comment word for word on one of her videos. She’s a phenomenon.
Yeah, honestly I don't care about the weight loss journey, I just want her to find peace and happiness within herself. She's such a beautiful woman inside and out and her warm personality makes you feel like you're hanging with a friend.
TH-cam needs more Beas on their platform. She is such a real, honest, kind person. She temporarily restores my faith in humanity when I see her videos each week lol
ABSOLUTELY.
Agreed!
yes!!!
Mmm maybe I should start one
I agree. Bea is fantastic and real.
Love Bea. She seems transparent and has now decided to work on self wellness and not just weight loss. 💜
She has from the start been that way! She has also mentioned that it’s not mainly weight loss but mainly tied to psychology, which many doesn’t seem to be aware of. Too many focus on the food aspect and weight, but doesn’t connect they have to get a hold of WHY they do and what is lacking inside, and that’s 100% tied to psychology. Eating disorders no matter what kind of eating disorders are not about food but emotions and lack of tools deling with them, and set habits as a result. Sadly many are not taught that and develop eating disorders as an outlet to cope emotionally (when they are sad, happy, angry, stressed etc etc). The thing Bea says in her videos is probably what people get attached to and wish to subscribe to her channel, she has a good head on her shoulders, and it shows that she has spoken to a professional before she started her weight loss (as she has mentioned previously in her early videos). Heading in for more sessions with a professional is a mature decision, because after all these things tied to psychology aren’t just re-learned by a few months or one year of a different way of thinking and doing, it takes lots of
time for people to learn new ways after years of doing things a certain way that is rooted 99,9% of the time in childhood.
Whoever is reading this be kind to yourself and to others! 💕
Totally 😊❤️
Bea has always been 100% transparent and authentic since the start of her channel about her BED that started (according to Bea) in childhood. Bea has talked about her BED in dozens of her videos too. She recently went to therapy to deal with her depression and anxiety which gave her the time to also talk about her BED with a professional which suggested her new steps in trying to deal with it. I love love love Bea's authenticity but Abby painted her as "coming out" with her BED when she was nothing but transparent about it already. Smh
@@LuNa4Death Yes, I agree. I didnt understand why Abbey talked about Bea and her binge eating as if it were the first time Bea has talked about it. But it was a great video othewise.
@@LuNa4Death this youtuber, unlike Bea who seems refreshingly authentic and no bullshit, seems very grating, smug and self important, and whatever she says that is supposed to sound "kind" and "thoughtful" and mitigate her condescension just feels false and contrived. Maybe SHE should get some therapy and learn to love herself, and become a more genuine person, instead of smugly, publicly talking about other people on TH-cam, which seems so lame?
I love the community that Bea has around her, and I hope if she watches this video, she also reads the comments to see how much everyone loves and supports her. She's honestly the best, most real, person to watch.
Agreed!
Bea has been really upfront with her binging from the very beginning of her journey (there's no way you'd know, you don't have time to watch every video lol, so I get it) and it's really helped so many of us feel empowered on our own journeys. Her honesty and acknowledgement of it means so much when EDs are shamed so heavily. Watching her most recent videos where she is receiving therapy and confronting her ED is a good reminder that goals have to be attainable, realistic, and healthy. I've been with her from the beginning and started confronting my own ED around the same time. It's been nice to see someone try similar methods of "fixing" and being honest about the complexities around EDs. It's more than just what you eat. It's what you feel.
She is also really clear to her audience to never EVER make ourselves sick or anything. That it's okay to modify, to change, to stop. Because health come before everything. I don't necessarily think another food video on Bea is necessary, but I think a video on positive ED recovery stories and behavior may be a good video and you could include her (with her permission since ED recovery is so personal). There are a few channels on TH-cam that follow ED recovery and post-recovery in an incredibly healthy and supportive way that I think is great, especially for younger viewers.
For sure, thank you for sharing your perspective. I can definitely put this idea on my list for a future video!
Great post! I was about to come here and say the same thing. I love Bea.
That’s why I hate those channel reviews backed on a video or two as they aren’t able to grasp the persons journey . We love B ❤️
She should have known. Bea has discussed her BED in most of her videos.
@@EWCIAGROBEL that is a good point…judging someone based on only one or two vids isn’t really fair.
Bea is one of the most honest, transparent, and REAL individuals in the wellness/lifestyle community (though I'm not sure that space even really defines her). It is so easy to relate to Bea. She shows us her good days and bad days, and embraces her imperfections. She is just a young woman trying to live the best life she can. Truly inspiring and refreshing!
Side Note: Am I mistaken, but didn't Abbey review Bea before? I know I didn't watch that video, but I'm pretty sure I saw it. I might be mistaken, because I do not see the video in Abbey's uploads.
I thought she did too! Weird lol
Edit: I think she might’ve been included in the mass wellness TH-camr video Abbey did! So not quite a whole video, but I think she was in the thumbnail for it
@@frostyskeletons8950 Okay, that's helpful. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I distinctly remember seeing a thumbnail of "Dietitian Reviews Bea Caruso," and telling myself, "I'm not going to watch that one, yet, because I love Bea and don't want Abbey to be too hard on her." Lol
Agreed Beatrice is amazing
Yup I totally agree! And no I haven't, this is my first and only review I've done on her
Bea mentioned getting reviewed by a different youtuber once
I just love how many of Bea's fans have chimed in. She has gathered such a wonderful positive community 💜
I love Bea. She’s just the most beautiful person. I felt quite protective when I saw the thumbnail because it’s come so soon after refocusing her channel content away from weight loss. I was really glad to see the edit based on her update. But ultimately I just wish her as much joy as she brings us long time subscribers. Love Bea and Chetty and Douglas too. 💛😘🥰🐾🐾
I love her channel too! I'm glad you enjoyed the review
I love Beatrice so much. She’s the one weight loss channel I can watch because of her transparency
Love her channel too!
I love Bea, she's one of the most genuine people I've even seen on youtube, people don't watch her for weightloss they watch her for her down to earth personality and great sense of humor!
Thanks for you review!
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree, I looked for more weight loss channels, but they just weren't her.
Yeah, she is so funny!
I clicked soooo fast when I saw Bea 😍
😊❤️
FYI: Bea has disclaimed that she has an eating disorder and her therapist has suggested she stops aiming for weight loss for that time being. Bea has already told her viewers that she will not be losing weight at this time.
In what video does she disclaim she has an eating disorder she says she has BED.
A BED is an ED. It’s right there in the name. An ED is any disordered eating.
@@danielle8861 I meant she has an eating disorder. She told her viewers that she has a binge eating disorder.
@@jaclynjames7332 Must have been a mistype with the disclaimed was supposed to be that she's mentioned that she has one. Because if you disclaim something you are denying that you have it. Like when they use the disclaimer that they aren't doctors and it's not for treatment of anything.
@@theresablock1412 yes, oops, you're correct about the misuse of disclaim. 😊
I have no interest in weight loss content but I LOVE watching Bea, just because she's hilarious. I hope she gets new subs from this.
I hope so too!
She got me.
I love how much care Abbey takes here for Bea. I lost 200 pounds in 2 years and wish I had an RD like Abbey along the way!
Thank you! I hope my videos are helpful for you now!
I must have missed what you saw.
@@Mexicobeanpole Abbey was very gentle towards Bea, but was def mistaken about Bea having just “come out” about her BED.
Abbey did provide some good info, but the whole thing just frosted me about almost not doing the review bc of Bea’s BED. . That just makes it more relatable to those of us suffering the same roadblocks.
To be honest though she didn't 'come out' recently with the binge eating disorder. She has been honest about it from day one. She just recently went into therapy and realised that she needs to approach things differently.
In all the videos we happen to watch before filming this, we didn’t see mentions binging so unfortunately we just didn’t catch it, or it came after I shot this (I did film this a while ago). I’ve said many times that we cannot watch an entire youtuber's catalogue of content and for that reason I don’t want people to use these reviews as a comprehensive review of the person. Rather they’re meant to serve as teachable moments for the general population, using public videos as jumping off points for conversation, education and inspiration.
@@AbbeysKitchen I appreciated that you were kind in your style and obvious intent but my one constructive criticism would be to perhaps do a little more due diligence when it comes to eating disorders. They are such sensitive topics and it is important to avoid being misleading whereever possible.
@@onionsbroccoli-on6jf yep. No excuse not to do more research when you literally profit off of your reviews of people. This proves what I suspected for awhile. This series needs to go away.
@@krissyrific she’s commenting on a public video ??? Haha if we have to baby’s someone’s ed maybe they shouldn’t be on the Internet
@@lisalarsen2384 she’s commenting with ignorance on a public video.
Just a note - It may not have been your intention, but you make it sound like Bea was ever hiding her BED. For viewers who aren't familiar - She definitely wasn't. She's been open about it since the start of her channel. The only difference is now she's taking a different approach with a therapist to try and solve it over a long period rather than just being upset with herself over a short term "lack of self control" and things like that.
Thank you! I believe she mentioned it in her first few videos, but those weren't meal day videos. I love Bea so much!
Thanks for this cos I'm not familiar with her so it's nice to know she was always honest
I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to make it seem that way. Thank you for mentioning this!
Makes you wonder what kind of research she did before putting this video up... Literally on the first video where she explains why she gained weight she mentions her struggles with bingeing.
@@nicolibrogini6593 she’s reacting to **A** video. She can’t watch an entire catalog of videos every YT’er puts out before making a video in response to ONE video. I get that you somehow feel the need to defend Bea, but Abby still included additional information when she learned of Bea’s BED.
So excited to see you talk about Bea! She randomly popped into my recommended and the first thing I noticed was how funny, genuine, and down to earth she seems! She could vlog about anything and I'd watch it. ☺️
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed the review
Bea is so real, brave, and honest. I really love her. We are best friends in my head!
Agreed!
Just a heads up that Bea has always been open with her bed and although it’s not mentioned in this video, she also has pcos which has impacted her ability to lose weight.
Bea mentions her binge eating through out videos from the start of her channel just not in every video so she hasn't been hiding it this whole time
I never meant to imply that she was hiding it. In all the videos we happen to watch before filming this, we didn’t see mentions binging so unfortunately we just didn’t catch it, or it came after I shot this (I did film this a while ago). I’ve said many times that we cannot watch an entire youtuber's catalogue of content and fir that reason I don’t want people to use these reviews as a comprehensive review of the person. Rather they’re meant to serve as teachable moments for the general population, using public videos as jumping off points for conversation, education and inspiration
Bea is real. She is fun. She is a friend at heart. I’m thankful and grateful she’s in my life.
Yes! I hoped you’d discuss this video and her journey. I have so much respect for Beatrice for being open and discussing what’s going on with her. I hope she doesn’t receive hate for being so vulnerable and open and should be treated with kindness.
For sure. I hope you enjoyed the review!
I love Bea and I'm a proud subscriber. She's totally transparent, funny and real. One of my favorite TH-camrs. I love you too Abbey!
Agreed!
I've been following both you and Bea for a while now and I think you did a great job approaching this review so kindly and supportive! I know Bea struggled when some other channels reviewed her but think you approached this in such a respectful manner. I think there's some great takeaways here for anyone, too!
Thank you so much!
I appreciate how considerate Abbey always is about trying not to trigger anyone. Very responsible. 💖
Thank you ❤️
I don't know if people should encourage the weirdos who are triggered by everything they see online. Even clapping triggers them, and they demand everybody to do jazz hands. Comedy triggers them, maths trigger them. When Dr. Mike talked about the obesity in America, many Americans were also TRIGGERED lol.
I love Bea’s content AND Abbey’s content so this is the crossover I’ve been waiting for and I’m so happy!
Aw thanks!
Thank you for saying that about intuitive eating not being for everyone at every stage. My child is in feeding therapy for sensory issues with food and working with him feels so at odds with intuitive eating. It’s been such a struggle trying to find a good middle ground.
Totally! I'm glad that advice was helpful
Okay, the care and knowledge you have here gives me such good feelings. Binge watching your videos to get nutrition tips that I need help with. 🥺
Abbey I love how you took such care before addressing this video at all. I honestly haven’t past your intro completely before commenting. I just love how you actually care about her! I follow her and she’s so real, honest and brave!
I really appreciate the acknowledgement that intuitive eating is not for everyone! Personally I struggle with ADHD and have difficulties with awareness and memory so I find that if I don't track my food in some way I end up forgetting to eat and then compensating with giant meals - not ideal! 😅
For sure! I'm glad that was helpful
Bea talked about “backsliding” into binging several times on her journey over the last year.
In all the videos we happen to watch before filming this, we didn’t see mentions binging so unfortunately we just didn’t catch it, or it came after I shot this (I did film this a while ago). I’ve said many times that we cannot watch an entire youtuber's catalogue of content and for that reason I don’t want people to use these reviews as a comprehensive review of the person.
@@AbbeysKitchen Then possibly you shouldn’t title your video as a review of the person. You are disingenuous making this disclaimer. You are presenting this as a review of her weight loss journey, which you admit knowing little about, and not presenting this as a review of one of her videos. If you were unaware of Bea’s discussion of her binge eating disorder, then anything you have to say about her choices is incomplete and out of context.
@@anitas5817 maybe you should've watched the disclaimer she put in. She literally says none of these reviews are about the person but about the food
@@janehoe. That said, she does talk about the person, and suggests that Bea talking about bingeing was a new development, which it was not.
@@AbbeysKitchen I completely understand that. I wasn’t trying to criticize actually, just pointing it out for anyone curious. I just didn’t want it to come across like Bea had been hiding her binging. She’s been open about it from the beginning.
What a sensitive and nuanced commentary on the situation. Excellent video, Abbey.
Thank you!
Bea is just the funniest girl ever!! I'm so proud of her!!
I felt so bad after the whole Keto thing but I feel confident that she will have a wonderful and healthy outcome. 🥰💛💛💛💛 Xx
I'm proud of her too!
I love Bea so much! She's one of those people you can listen to read a phone book. Her transparency, honesty and humor keep me subscribed. Glad you're highlighting her today, Abbey.
Agreed! I hope you enjoyed the review
@@AbbeysKitchen sure did!
Ive been watching your vids, and everyone is noticing Im losing weight. All Ive really been doing is eating balanced meals like youve mentioned, and listening to what my body wants. Really appreciate you more than you know!
I’m a new subscriber, and I’ve been so inspired by your videos My body just didn’t feel good long term eating Keto, and you’ve given me the push to add carbs back in and not be afraid of a little sugar. Honestly my anxiety about food has just fallen away so, thanks!!
I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you!
Awww Bea is a true gem! Can't wait to watch the video! Hi Abby, big love from Italy⚘
I hope you enjoyed it!
I love Bea! She makes me laugh so much, wish her all the success and happiness in the world.
Thanks to you, abbey, I was able to break my scarcity mentality and now I can lose weight working croissants into my caloric deficit (without tracking!) AND I can top them however I want. I never thought I could feel this free. I hope Bea can get to this place one day.
I'm so glad!
How are you losing without tracking? I’m stuck in the scarcity mentality and am scared I’m eating too much :(
I absolutely LOVE Bea! I've been watching her for about a year and her honesty about her ED, mental health, and social struggles are very relatable. She has a great personality and a realistic view of herself. I adore her!
Agreed!
Hey Abby, would you consider doing a what I eat in a day review for one of your subscribers?!
Love your content ♥️♥️♥️
I have a series doing this! th-cam.com/video/nDMKWlIIIgU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Fkc-nUPasPs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharpAbbeySharpVerified
I like how you said, "I'm not about perfection." I wish all dietitians had the same mentality, especially when working with those in eating disorder recovery, that are obsessed with being perfect. The focus always (in recovery or just making healthy changes) should be on progress, not perfection. So, thank you, Abbey!
Yes totally! So glad that was helpful
Hey Abbey! Thanks for your videos, they're so informative. I'm a second year Nutrition student (AfN to be 😊) and I find it so useful to get your insight 😁 - keep them coming!
I'm so glad you enjoy them!
I love watching Beatrice! She’s honest about her weight loss challenges
Me too!
Love that you are supportive of intuitive eating with realistic weight loss goals. Thank you for introducing me to Beatrice. I have similar goals to lose my quarantine weight gain in a healthy realistic way with out cutting out any food groups.
So true about the amount of calories! Thanks to you Abby, i wen to see a dietician and she told me i needed to eat between 2000 and 2200 calories a day in order to loose weight! I was going on diets with around 1200 calories a day, no wonder i couldn't maintain them! Now, 2 months later, i lost 6 pounds of fat and 4 cm of off my belly, which makes me alot more healthy! I'm so happy i found you on youtube, otherwise i would still be struggling on my own.
I absolutely love Bea, I’m so excited you reviewed her!!
I hope you enjoyed the review!
this video was great! I am now where I need to start shaping my diet up to where I get more nutrition. So< I am here. I learned so much today from your channel.
i love going through your comment section and seeing how you reply to comments so often
Aw thank you!
I love Bea so much, I look forward to her videos every week! She’s so wonderful 🥰
Agreed!
Thank you for another great video and all the time you spend to share this information. I've personally never felt healthier or happier with losing weight than what I have since incorporating many of your tips, suggestions, etc. And, I definitely have not spent a lot of money to do so. It's been a win, win, win lifestyle or nutritional improvement journey for me and you have provided the vast majority of the ideas and information that have been important to improved health, far beyond weight loss. Thank you again for all you do, you Rock!
I'm so glad they're helpful for you!
omg this oats overnight sponsorship seems like one step closer to my two favorite canadien and scientific entrepreneur women youtubers becoming friends... please tell me someone else immediately thought of Christine
Thank you for your gentleness here. 💖Loving this vid.
Thanks!
Beatrice is so funny! I love her and I appreciate her authenticity. She is a joy to follow and is truly inspiring. She is helping to normalize talking about and prioritizing mental health. Bravo!
I would so watch a video of Abby actually talking to Bea, like a “real session with a nutritionist” type thing!
I hope she gets to see this because I’ve loved watching her journey and I think this video is education and beneficial to us all 😊
I like your videos so much! I've lost almost 10kgs in 5 months (which for a lot of people is not enough!) and I like how supportive you are and the kind messages you always send across.
I'm someone who struggled with binge eating due to stress and I'm such a new person now! I'm so good at following my diet and I don't miss eating out at all.
I need to lose another 20kgs but I'm so sick of people judging how fast you're supposed to shed your weight!
Not only the journey is hard, but being judged during the journey is the worst part.
However, I learned to be kinder to myself and leave negativity out of my life as much as possible.
Whatever is your stage on journey, just keep up and celebrate yourself :)
@C Aww thank you!
Aw thank you! Exactly. I'm so glad my videos are helpful for you 😊
THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I haven't even watched yet but I know you saw my comments and responded to my request for this video. You are the hardest working mama ever. I want to express in the most non-creepy stocker way ever (if that's possible 😅), if you ever came to Seattle I'd love to buy you dinner to show appreciation and talk about
your amazing work! I'm think the work you do is so important and I wish you nothing but the best.
Aw thank you so much! I really appreciate it ❤️
I think I've said the same thing before. Please don't think I'm creep 😂. I just really do think your work is so well rounded, compassionate and so ever helpful!
@@AbbeysKitchen Post watching thoughts: You were so kind and caring toward Beatrice which is exactly how I thought you would be. I hope she is able to watch the first part of your video and get some really great insites. It would be amazing if you were to get to interview here to talk even more about her journey.
seeing B's recent journey, I would have preferred for this video to not be posted. B is taking a break from weightloss, she is taking care of her mental health, she doesn't need to see this. Especially because this is not the only video about her that has come out since she spoke about binging. Just saying.
In all the videos we happen to watch before filming this, we didn’t see mentions binging so unfortunately we just didn’t catch it, or it came after I shot this (I did film this a while ago). If a video is on the internet, it must be able to stand alone for anyone who casually picks up and watches it. Ultimately her content is public, and she’s chosen it to be, so it’a subject to fair use laws. And I explicitly say in the video that if it’s triggering for her not to watch it. (But also in that case I would suggest deleting her own content.)”
I love Bea! Excited about this video.
I hope you enjoyed it!
Bea is one of my favourite people to watch and her whole attitude is very inspiring
Agreed!
I have been WAITING for this one!
I hope you enjoyed it!
bea is one of the most genuine, lovable and all-around amazing youtubers. not only is the way that she goes about and documents her journey a breath of fresh air in the youtube space, she's just super fun to watch. her sense of humour is the best - how many other youtubers have done an "i ate and exercised like danny devito for a day" video? :D
Yes, exactly!! I’d forgotten about the Danny devito video, but it sums up perfectly why I love Bea so much 😂💛
Agreed!
I appreciated it more when you gave multiple examples from different what I eat in a day videos rather than looking at a day.
Thanks for the feedback
You and Bea are so sweet and real on the internet. 🥰
Kinda sickly but a nice comment. I’m not sure I could do weight loss on YT. So many arm chair critics.
Aw thank you!
Just clicked on the video. I love Bea! I really hope it's a nice, kind reaction 🙈
I hope you enjoyed the review!
I am so glad you reviewed Bea's channel. I hope you have watched her recent one, because Bea has changed much of her approach. I have watched her since the beginning and am very glad to see her learning so much. She is a lovely young woman, as you say, honest and funny. I have dm'd her asking her to see a dietician online or in her state, but so far she has not. However, she is getting therapy and that is just great, and also vital, for all of us. Who among us doesn't have more to learn! Oh, and if you watch more of her work, you can come to see that she has always been open about her binge-eating. It's that now she is approaching it in a different manner. I come from the age of restricted calories and food groups, and "bad" foods and "good" foods. It's interesting to learn newer approaches; I don't think, however, that I will ever entirely be able to practice intuitive eating until I deal with my own binge and emotional eating. Thank you for your work, Abbey, and I hope that you revisit Bea's channel in the near future.
I discuss her recent video at 2:45. I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
Bea didn't really 'come out' about her binge eating, she has talked about it regularly throughout her youtube journey. This is evident for us who have followed her from early in her journey. And anyway, I follow her for her unique wit and personality, not for her 'weightloss'.
Bea is great. I don't normally watch Abbey. This video played as I was falling asleep last night by autoplay. I sleepily paused and put the computer up then I came for the video this morning when I woke up.
In all the videos we happen to watch before filming this, we didn’t see mentions binging so unfortunately we just didn’t catch it, or it came after I shot this (I did film this a while ago). I’ve said many times that we cannot watch an entire youtuber's catalogue of content and for that reason I don’t want people to use these reviews as a comprehensive review of the person. Rather they’re meant to serve as teachable moments for the general population, using public videos as jumping off points for conversation, education and inspiration.
@@AbbeysKitchen Do you ever ask permission to post these videos from the people you are commenting on? In this case, with someone who has been so candid about her mental health struggles, it would have been the right move.
@@Johanna.EG. Bea chooses to put her videos out there for the public to see. In my opinion, it's unwise for someone like her to be posting because she seems so fragile and she's very sensitive to the opinions of others. I can definitely empathize with her, but that's exactly why I would never share my life on a public platform. I think you need to be asking Bea about her choices, as opposed to Abbey, someone who is allowed to make a respectful reaction video, which she absolutely did. When you expose yourself to the world, you have to expect that people will have their opinions, and that's just the way it goes. You can't make a youtube channel about your mental health struggles and binge eating, tell everyone how uncomfortable you are with criticism, and then think no one is going to criticize! Bea should protect herself first and foremost and decide if this life is right for her.
@@malloryg4251 classic victim blaming. gotta love it. when you’re profiting off of someone else’s content, you need to do more research on them. if you’re reviewing a cereal brand, you wouldn’t just try one box of cereal and review the brand based on that. you would try multiple flavors. Abbey’s team says they missed it when doing research but if they would’ve picked some of Bea’s earliest videos, some older ones that are still relatively new, and this video, they would’ve known about her struggles and how open she was with them throughout her journey. the point is that abbey should probably reach out to people with EDs who she reviews before filming and posting a video about them. protect the vulnerable, not the people preying on them.
I really like her. She is so genuine and likeable. This show that we are all human and shouldn’t put vloggers on pedestal. No one is perfect and we all struggle at times.
She’s also super funny!
Totally!
You tought me so much about what is actually healthy and I'm so grateful to you
I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you!
Oh! This is gonna be great ♡ love Bea ♡
😊❤️
This is super random but I've been watching a ton if your videos. Its helped me stop undereating and today was the first time I've actually eaten what I wanted to and I feel great about it. Thank you 💕
You’re telling me I could’ve been enjoying Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead of special k this entire time?!?! Mindblown
😂
I am really happy I found out. I started my weight loss journey a couple months ago. I see now that I might have been too extreme in some thinking and i really want to make sure i figure out long term health and nutrition, not just weight loss. Thank you for such great explanations for everything you do.
I’ve been using oats overnight for a while now and wondered what you would think of them. Happy to see you’re willing to have them sponsor you.
Yup they're great!
Thanks for clearing things up Abbey, really appreciate it ❤
😊👍

I’m really torn about this. If you have to put a disclaimer to the person you’re reviewing that they may not want to watch the video because it may be triggering, maybe you shouldn’t make the video? I’m usually a fan of Abbey, but this one feels icky to me. Beatrice has been so open and honest and watching a few of her non eating videos recently would have shown that this maybe wasn’t the most sensitive thing to do.
Yeah, I can’t finish watching this. You definitely made it seem like she’s been hiding this information when she’s been open and honest about it from the start. You’re speaking as though you know all about her and her content when to the people who follow her, it’s clear that you don’t 😕 this is really a bummer.
Thanks for pointing this out, but it was never my intention to make it seem like she was hiding her struggles. In all the videos we happen to watch before filming this, we didn’t see mentions binging so unfortunately we just didn’t catch it, or it came after I shot this (I did film this a while ago). I’ve said many times that we cannot watch an entire youtuber's catalogue of content and for that reason I don’t want people to use these reviews as a comprehensive review of the person. Rather they’re meant to serve as teachable moments for the general population, using public videos as jumping off points for conversation, education and inspiration.
@@AbbeysKitchen Yeah. You say this repeatedly. About Beatrice. About Greg Doucette, about high carb Hannah’s fertility struggles. Your research is weak. You get 1/2 facts at best. If you can’t do enough research to give an educated video about someone, then here’s an idea. Don’t do them AT ALL. Sick of your excuses!
Regardless if you've seen all her videos or not, it's a very strange assumption to make of someone.
Yay Bea!!! Who is doing the 67tybb challenge?
Yay! I love Bea’s channel so much!
😊❤️
Great point Abbey! I hated cooking before I started a meal kit. I did one for about 1-2 years, and once I decided to stop the subscription, and try my own meal planning, I was in love! I learned so many new techniques, had more of a creative understanding of how you can mix different ingredients, and I truly loved cooking/knowing what I was eating. That alone was priceless to me!
BEA she’s made it!! Lol 😂 my 2 favorite people cross over and I’m here for it!!
I love Bea she's my favorite TH-camr, one video and 20 sec in I subscribed 😭 she's the best
Shoutout to Abbey for not only uploading amazing educational content (I watch every single video) but for also commenting on every single early comment. Hardworking queen. 💕
Aw thank you ❤️
Hustle mentality
love bea, love abbey -- watching bea's journey lately i keep thinking she should watch abbey's videos. let me tell you i clicked on this so fast! i would really enjoy watching a follow up some day!
I can put it on my list to do one!
I can totally identify with what she is going through. Food is the biggest struggle for me when it comes to loosing weight. Nothing but complete and total support for you Beatrice!!
Thank you!
Awe, I'm so glad you touched on Beatrice. ~ I just love this girl! She is so sweet, real and honest. ~ I am totally like her... I feel like she might be a younger sister from another mother. ;) I think she's been talking with a therapist regarding intuitive eating and has been doing good thus far.
Bea is easily one of my fav people on TH-cam. Her personality makes me laugh effortlessly. She is incredible. 💕
Agreed!
Your channel has really helped me create a healthy relationship with food after decades of binging and failed dieting. 💕
I'm so glad it's helpful for you!
Excellent video! Bea seems like a common example of how most people try to lose weight (incl. me in th past O:)). You give very gentle and reasonable advice. Thank you! ♡
I'm glad it's helpful!
Trying to lose weight me didn’t work because of my binge eating. But for the first time in my life I have true friends & one of them has also felt with eating disorders. & for the first time in my life I’m not thinking about my weight & truly able to think about my health. Your videos have also helped me immeasurably. Thank you so much, my journey to being healthy literally wouldn’t be possible without you. For the first time in my life I’m growing to truly like & love myself as I am.
So many positive comments about this TH-camr Abbey is talking about. Very telling y'all.
Yup, she's great!
@@AbbeysKitchen haha. You don’t know that. You once again had scanty info about her. Shame on you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Bea. She is the best. I appreciated some of your tips as I am on a very similar journey to Bea. I was very nervous to click this honestly, because so many of us see ourselves in Bea for sure. Almost felt like you were reviewing me 😂
I hope you found the review helpful!
I love your videos. You are so kind about nutrition! You helped me to be more kind to myself about what I “deserve” to eat (because I deserve anything). Specially because I have a teacher (I’m in high school) that bullies the students about what they eat and their weight and he always makes me feel so bad about eating carbs (he always says carbs are bad and we can’t eat it).
It's great your getting educated about carbs and food. If possible maybe throw facts back in his face? If not possible try changing the topic. Also be proud of your body and say so out loud and to yourself.
@@carochan86 he talks about it during class so it’s really hard. He’s a biology teacher. And he is always shaming the students eating habits 🥺 it’s really triggering.
@@bela5475 You should let the teacher know you do not feel comfortable with that subject and to please go back to the lesson. You may want to let a guidance counselor know. Also let a family member know . Other friends and class mates of yours should do the same. My high school had vice principles per grade and they were very nice and easy to talk to. If your ok with talking with one of your principals I'd consider that as well.
That is valuable school time wasted on things not related ( most likely) of the topic being discussed.
@@carochan86 thank you for the advice ☺️
I’m so glad my videos have been helpful for you!
Also, I love when you review other youtubers! The celebrity ones are cool, but I enjoy these more :)
Thank you! So glad you enjoy it
Love Bea and can’t wait for every episode she posts. ❤️
I don’t understand why other you tubers need to critique others. I didn’t watch your video after I read what it was about.
I feel like perhaps it's a good idea to watch more than just "what I eat in a day" videos for this type of review. Bea has been pretty transparent about her binge eating from the very beginning. This was by no means a revelation to her audience. She has been on a journey with this and she has shared it in her videos; the only difference is that now she has sought therapy and has put her mental health first. I agree that nobody really knows what goes on in peoples' lives based on a few videos, but in Bea's case her transparency and vulnerability have been so intentional from the start that the presumption that this had not been clearly communicated is inaccurate.
I also wonder how this type of review might affect Bea. In general, is it a good idea to post these reviews while the subjects are in active recovery from ED? Does Abbey's team reach out for their consent? I'm curious how this type of thing works. From a mental health perspective having an extra light shine on you while you're in the midst of a struggle may not be the best thing. Then again, we can't know until we ask the person we are reviewing.
this is the comment i was looking for
Agreed. I'm a mental health therapist and this comment is actually the reason why I stopped watching Abbey's videos. I just stopped by for the first time in a while when I saw Bea and wanted to make sure she wasn't getting ripped to shreds.
@@heykelly The thing is, she DID say at the start not to watch it if it might be triggering. (although i can understand how knowing these videos exist at all might not be helpful for the person being talked about)
I pretty sure she didn’t ask for permission, as Bea has stated previously that ppl making videos about her makes her uncomfortable.😬 But also she has put her journey on the internet so some feedback is to be expected.
@@heykelly Agreed. Especially in light of Bea recently saying she had contemplated leaving TH-cam altogether because of the added pressures, and also sharing she wasn’t comfortable with videos being made about her.
I don't feel great about people continuing to make commentary videos on Bea's weight loss after she has disclosed struggles with disordered eating/ a potential eating disorder.
I understand but I actually discussed this at 2:45
Thanks for the reply. I know you did discuss the recent one; it's just that you sounded as if you thought it was the first time Bea has discussed binge eating. And I did very much enjoy your review. You were, as always, articulate and kind.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I love the video and how sweet and loving you are with your advice! I'd love for you to react to Pro home cooks, what i eat in a day of home cooking!
