It’s so true. I feel like she is so stuck in the “entertainer” mode that she doesn’t know how to just be normal and chill. Like she was in the industry for too long and can’t break out of it and just be herself
She was toxic on antm and now using her “weight gain” to tell us how much she loved food.. implying that enjoying your food equates to weight gain.. which is a bit problematic, because one of the big factors in a sustainable and healthy diet is having a good relationship with food.. thinking “loving food” equals “weight gain” confirms food guilt mindsets of people who may struggle with disordered eating habits.
I’ll never forget her saying on her talk show that before she goes on a weight loss journey she likes to binge eat, gaining 5 to 15 pounds because with her “theory” it helps you lose more weight at a faster rate 😕

@@user-vd2jk7dl3p even if that was the modeling industry at the time, Tyra had the influence with that show to change it.

Not trying to come for you btw, I just don’t like what the show represents. Esp when the modeling Industry is so different now
Not to mention that Tyra literally told Danielle Evans from cycle 6 that her tooth gap was too big and that it made her look bad, and had her dentist make it smaller!! Just to have Leila from cycle 19 get her tooth gap enlarged! It was gross when a black woman had it and when a white woman had it, it was "fresh" and "exotic" 🙄🙄

Could you make a series about how to heal your relationship with food? Especially during the pandemic it’s been hard for me to only watch your videos analyzing what other people are doing. I’d love to see content that tries to mentally help the audience if that’s possible
She has a series where she talks about IE and there is a video about fixing your metabolism. For other influencers with good relationships with food, Natasha Ocean and Stephanie Buttermore have great attitudes towards it. I love how they each talk about food. As a person who is still fixing their relationship with it, after you've done the research and gone to the therapy and all that, it's just as important to have these good influences.
if you are interested in books I found "eating in the light of the moon" and "anti-diet" to be super helpful. The website recovery warriors has also been great. I also found watching Stephanie Buttermore's all in journey on youtube to be helpful and going on a similar all in type journey myself to help my relationship with food a ton! Good luck! You got this!!!
Look up missfitandnerdy on youtube! She has great nutrition and exercise advice as well as videos breaking down certain diets and foods and reverse dieting. Shes great!
I’m not a Tyra fan and not familiar with the controversies mentioned, but I will say that when I saw her give a talk telling off a magazine for making fun of gaining weight and wearing a bathing suit (probably about 15 years ago) it was the first time my 16 year old self ever heard the idea that I could be beautiful as I was.
Yes exactly! I'm not sure where people are getting this body shaming that Tyra was doing. I don't see it. She was body shamed herself even at the beginning of her career. She was always the bigger suzed model even though she was still considered skinny.
Tyra Banks gave me a really bad, long lasting misunderstanding with food. She had this "bitesize diet" practice on her talkshow back when I was younger. So I constantly ate small bitesized portions of food and got only like 500-800 calories daily. As a growing teenager. It was a big yikes.
Oof thats no good! Best ive found is stop eating when you feel full, it takes so much will power for me, but its for the best because i tend to overeat in a short span of time and i feel really sick after, so im trying to make good habits for myself
Oh my gosh.. I still remember her telling one of the models on ANTM to lose weight so you could better see her cheekbones... I know this seems like "normal" model world commentary but man, it stuck with me!
Just throwing it out there, her "not worrying" about her weight gain could just be because she knows how to get it off quickly by starving herself. I used to rationalize my yoyo dieting in that way. "Well it's ok if I've gained 15 pounds, I know I can lose it in a couple weeks." And thus the constant dieting begins...
Honestly I’m not even 4 mins in and flavouring coffee beans that you can’t really use for other things seems like a good practice for not wasting stuff
Yeah, I agree. And if you're going to cover up the flavor of coffee anyway, you might as well use lower quality beans. Leave the really good stuff for people who actually enjoy the taste of coffee (yes, I'm admittedly a coffee purist and snob).
Right? I literally asked out loud, "why the f is she talking like that??" I considered clicking off the video just bc of her annoying monologue but I love Abbey too much to do that.
I really needed to not be the only one questioning her "BAG - elle" over the world's "bae-gel" Also Montreal sesame seed bagels win over all others. I said what I said 🤷🏿♀️🥯
A little review suggestion/request: Diana Malloy. Not that she needs any suggestions - quite the opposite. She's criminally underrated (and also a wonderful person from what I can tell), and loads more people need to find her. I have a feeling you're going to love her!
Damn, as soon as Tyra mentioned fake maple syrup I knew Abbey was coming for her lol. I love how Abbey appears less and less concerned with appearing "proper" (dignified? I'm not sure the word I'm looking for) and is giving us more off the cuff reactions that make me laugh out loud so hard. Still very articulate and bringing the receipts but I feel like we're seeing more of her real personality now than we did before. Is that just me?
I love real maple syrup! For the longest time I wouldn't allow myself to eat pancakes because I was sucked into diet culture. It is thanks to you Abbey, your enlightened by intuitive eating series and sheet pan pancake recipe, that I have been able to finally have syrup again, guilt free and with absolute joy!!!
Abbey, your videos have helped me face my disordered eating head on. You always address food and eating habits in a kind (and sassy 😉) way that is so approachable. Thank you for being so awesome!!
I grew up using Aunt Jemima "pancake syrup" and only tried real maple syrup as an adult. The real stuff tastes *different*, not better; it's not the flavor I associate with pancakes. At this point, pancake syrup is more nostalgia-based. I like American "trash" chocolate, too, as well as higher quality stuff. It all has a place for me with nothing inherently superior, only different from each other.
I loved Aunt Jemima or corn syrup on my pancakes. I found maple syrup too thin and runny and not sweet enough lol . It wasn't until I cut out refined sugars as an adult, that I developed a taste for it. Now I love it.
I like pancake syrup a little more on french toast or pancakes because it has a buttery taste in addition to the sweetness. It’s very much a nostalgia trip for me and I will never do that differently.
When I had gestational diabetes (and checking my blood sugar level several times a day along with 4 shots of insulin a day) I can say with certainty that anything with high fructose corn syrup shot my blood sugar level up and it stayed up for much much longer than literally anything else I consumed. That was an eye opener for me. High fructose corn syrup is harder on your body and I think it’s careless to write it off like it’s basically like any other sugar. It’s not.
@@SJaber01 lol but that‘s literally the point of a bagel? like if you’re gonna scoop it out to get rid of carbs, maybe just buy thin sliced bagels or regular toast?
I remember seeing Tyra on her talk show years ago, and she described a diet she followed where she just had a couple of bites of each item. She said she would go to a buffet and get everything she wanted, but only a bite or two of each thing. I was still steeped in diet culture, and even I saw the absurdity in it. But of course, I tried it because sHe LoSt 20 PoUnDs! 🤦♀️
Not to mention that a few cycles later, she actually GAVE another (white) girl a bigger gap so she could be marketed as more "high fashion" 🙄 I used to love ANTM growing up, but I never realized all the damaging rhetoric it was spouting until I got older (I'm 30 now, so I was watching every cycle from the very beginning!) It's still a bit of a guilty pleasure, like comfort food. It may not be the most healthy, but sometimes you need a bit of mindless comfort 😜
I think it’s so insane the amount of weight I put into her opinion as a young girl. I didn’t look up to many people but do feel like I idolized her a bit. It’s so for me to think about my insecurities of my smile before braces. I wish I was a bit older to develop my own opinion but do remember the moment where I could see through her bullshit.
I don't get that remark about the tooth gap...if you don't know who she is, look up the model Lauren Hutton. Also, I really liked when Madonna had her tooth gap.
Yeah..white women 'shading' a black woman's food diary really sits well with me :/ I would never see this video and think ...this is the emotionally intelligent and wise dietician for me.
@@MrAmkid with allllll the BS that tyra has done to countless women through the years including black women. Including making white women dress in black face, forcing women to do things they don't want to do, putting down 6 feet tall 130 pound models for being overweight and plenty of other things. No, I am not saying shading ANYONE is right but there are certainly other people to call out for doing all sorts of things. (By the way, my father isn't a white man. I came out really pale like my Mom)
@@MrAmkid this has nothing to do with Tyra’s race. Stop making everything about race because it will start to invalidate what ACTUAL racism is. Tyra just is not a likeable person and Abbey agrees.
@@hellobye7697 regardless of how likeable or unlikable Tyra might be, women of colour don't need white blond health experts making catty videos about their food choices. To each their own.
On flavored coffee: Back in the early/mid 2000’s Celestial Seasonings (the tea company) made an AMAZING line of flavored coffees. They infused the beans with flavor through some sort of steaming process and it was some of the most amazing flavored coffee I’ve ever had. And then they stopped making it. 😭 Husband and I were so sad!!!!! Edited to add: The Canadians are TRIGGERED. 😂 DO NOT MESS WITH THE MAPLE.
As a Canadian, I also don't understand why someone would actively avoid maple syrup under than the price. My favourite thanksgiving food is sweet potato that's pre cooked, and then fried or baked in a mix of maple syrup and margarine (I'm lactose intolerant so had to switch from butter), and sometimes we add a bit of coconut sugar or brown sugar (depending on if diabetic family is there or not, honestly they taste the same to me), and it's just so good! After my grandmother passed away, I took on making it every year, and that comment about syrup reminded me of it.
The part where she felt she had to highlight her weight gain and contrast it to her previous year swimsuit cover kind of reminds me of when people want to point out something before others can as a defense mechanism, and also she wants to show that she's ok with weight gain and is 'part' of the body postivity movement...but then she had to bring up the fact that she had a conventional swimsuit body.
Projection. She assumes you care as much as she does. Also isnt she retired? I feel like as you get older its healthy to let go and just explore everything you restricted yourself. But then again it was a rare display of simultaneous egocentric self-hatred. Life is a competition to her.
Instead of buying and try to be satisfied with these 'diet' ice cream, I decided to buy mini ice cream sandwiches, much easier to portion control that regular ice cream but still just as satisfying.
I hate substitutes ingredients too. It's better to eat the real deal and whole ingredients in moderate protons in my opinion. Full fat, full cream all the way.
I guess infused coffee is like the marinated meat section at the grocery store where they sell soon to be expired meat with strong marinades to cover up any smells, lol.
I love adding a few dashes of cinnamon and tumeric to my french press before pouring water over the coffee! Tumeric sounds weird but adds an awesome earthiness!
@@niapatricia9405 it's the bomb! I usually add a little soy milk, too, but it's also tasty black. It's fun to play with spices and coffee - during the fall we like to add cloves or all spice!
I love to throw a few bits of whole spices in with the coffee sometimes! Star anise, cinnamon, cloves, a slice of ginger... But my favorite spiced coffee is the traditional Arabic coffee my old neighbors from Jordan would serve - strong, sweet, and full of cardamom pods. Yummmmm!
Can you review Sophia Esperanza? She’s a vegan youtube vlogger. Sort of similar to Pickuplimes, but different. Would love to hear your take on her “what I eat in a day” videos!
It could be the thickness. Quite a bunch of Americans don't appreciate the more watery consistency of maple syrup. Since childhood, we were engrained with the belief that syrup MUST be thick to be enjoyable. Also, price, always a factor
Idk I’m Canadian and my parents weren’t rich enough for real maple, so we always had the pancake syrup. I can afford it now but the pancake syrup is comforting to me.
Yesterday I felt like pasta but I added black beans, avocado, tomato, olive oil, fresh sausage and vinegar to the noodles so there was a nice pasta salad feel. I think Abbey would have been proud. 🤓
Her diet was my exact diet when I was at my heaviest weight. Which is fine! But I never had ANY energy and I was always craving more salt/more sugar. I felt sooo terrible when I ate like this.
I can't stand whatever character she's playing in that video WOW Also starting to get suspicious how true to life some of these diets are... who has enough money to eat all the delicious food, have it made professionally in a health conscious way or get a professional meal plan done with their fav foods, and chooses to hollow out a bagel or pass on a handful of chips lol But that's me 😂 I'm not good at diet anything, food is my hobby, my soul mate, and love language 😍 Also LOVE the Canadian spirit in this video.
When you explained the flavour hunt I really felt that....... I tell myself ah yes that rice cake will satisfy me. No? Ah yes those pea crisps will but Nope *5 snacks later* guess I'm having what I wanted when I started 😭 Also why does Tyra talk as if shes rehearsing for an audition?
Totally do this often too. Just to end up eating whatever it was i was trying to avoid by eating all the other junk! And then i've consumed ALL the things.
Why is everyone mad at Tyra and not mad at the modeling industry? She don’t make the rules! If at that time there were not models with the gaps and Tyra was just telling her what it is why is she the villain? Oh yeah, I forgot because she’s black! For those of you who forget ; Tyra was JUST the host of the show. There are producers, there arewriter's, there are whole teams of people that orchestrated the challenges etc.
Thank you!! Not one did she mention Janice Dickinson or the other judges who were just as toxic or even more toxic. I just didn't find Tyra as someone who body shamed. She did defend a lot of the models. Also she herself was body shamed multiple times.
I just recently found your channel and really enjoy your content. Love how you don't tell people to survive on carrot or celery sticks but advocate for healthy balanced meals. As someone struggling with an eating disorder your advice will be invaluable.
This session (as well as the comments) leaked too much from an overview of her food choices into a judgement of her as a person. I would prefer for you to stick to food. That’s why we are here. E.g. If you think she is passé, simply don’t cover her.
There is so much to unpack about ANTM that is both complicated and intense, I could write an entire essay on it. As someone who was there when the show debuted and watched it, I remember at the time I was always talking about the colorism. There was a lot of self-hatred and shame at play and Tyra would often pick on Black contestants who had darker complexions, as well as perpetuate the double standards applied to European American vs. African American contestants. As much as I acknowledge that damage of that though, I think it's important to watch the show in the context of it's day. I used to watch the show with my sister who (RIP) used to get even more heated then I did, (and I got pretty heated) and we would speak on this (don't even get me started on the Blackface episode, cause I think we almost turned it off and this was back in the day). At the time I we used to get a lot of flack for talking about the Tyra Banks show and it's colorism, because there was even less Black representation on television then and speaking out against your only representation didn't go over very well. So my views me and my sister's views were not popular than, and we got called haters a lot. Also I consider Tyra Banks to be as much a victim as she is a perpetrator of the highly polarized Black/White dichotomy of the day. She herself as one of the trailblazers besides Naomi Campbell and Iman had a incredible amount of pressure to be the "right" kind of Black person. As a young woman I went to a modeling tryout (not ANTM) with my sister back in the day. I happened to be very slim, fair to medium skin tone African American woman and my sister was an African American woman of a darker complexion. I was 22 at the time and my sister 19. We were both size 2. The whole experience was quite toxic. I remember us eating salads all day because we didn't want to bloat. They measured us both and said that our waist lines were the smallest they measured coming in at about 21 inches around. They were also making toxic comments like our butts weren't like typical Black girls, and they my lighter skin was really pretty for Black girl, contrasting it to low-key disparaging ones made about my sister's. This was the year 2000. I was 5'6 and shorter than my sister's 5'8. They said I would make a good print model and she would make a good runway model. In the end they said that we didn't have the "right look" they were going for and picked one of the White models. So even after we ticked all the boxes, we didn't get picked. After we were like F them and our mom took us to Nations to get hamburgers and my sister got fries and a grilled cheese with not cheese (she was a vegan b4 it was trending and was deeply into animal rights). We didn't really diet, although the diet mentality did affect us, knowing what I do now, I've reframed that a lot. It was an eye opening experience. Watching the show definitely brought back a lot of that memory and so we were able to digest it differently against all of the Black empowerment literature that we had begun to read in our late teens and early twenties. The modeling industry was extremely toxic at the time and things happened that definitely would not fly today. That's the context of the pressure that Tyra Banks and other Black models were under back then. It was extreme. This does not excuse her actions but provides context for compassion. Unfortunately, instead of going the Iman route, (who sought to bridge the inclusivity gap by launching one of the first multicultural makeup lines pre Savage X Fenty) she went the other way. Due to the rampant racism and body shaming of the day, I feel like she sadly thought that was the way to go to survive in the cutthroat industry. Damn I did write an essay though. LOL. But colorism and shame around skin color is a complicated subject that has plagued the Black community since it's roots in the horrific slave trade.
Thank you! I feel like people only see her as a monster and I feel like that's unfair to her. She's just a product of a toxic modeling industry culture. No one likes to point out Janice Dickinson.
Abby killing it with graciousness as always! She clearly doesn’t agree with some Tyra’s past comments/choices, but is still kind and respects Tyra’s humanity. We need more people in the world like Abby!
Another option is to just use half the bagel. That’s usually a better match for my appetite, and open-faced sandwiches have plenty of room for toppings and are way easier to eat. My favorite is an everything with my local fish market’s smoked salmon pate, topped with cucumber slices. It hits all the right spots: crunchy, smoky, and sticks with me until lunch. The other half doesn’t keep well, so I’ll either split it with my husband or use the other half in my lunch.
I just add about half a teaspoon of gingerbread spice on top of the coffee grounds before I brew it (stovetop percolator). I started with more, but half a tsp is perfect to cut the bitterness and make it taste decent.
I feel you girl as a fellow Canadian! You did right by our nation with that syrup segment! Lol!! Seriously though can I just express how much I appreciate you bleeping out your swear words! I love watching your videos and often my kids are around so I super appreciate that! It’s the little things! Obviously I also appreciate everything I learn from these videos too haha!!
LOL to that Ruffles chip analogy--I wanted some birthday cake Oreos. Tried to kid myself with dark-chocolate covered almonds and lentil puffs... ultimately ate 7-ish Oreos in the end 😂Yummy dessert at last. Those healthy snacks *are* great when you're in the mood, but also they cost $$$
I used to really like Tyra, then kinda lost interest due to different controversies. But I like how enthusiastically she talks about food and seems to have a pretty healthy relationship with it and her body image (for a black supermodel nonetheless, who's had to deal with a lot of body-shaming herself when she became "too curvy for a model").
i tend to forget to eat for days on end, somehow, and these videos remind me that i actually need fuel, and it's gotten me to take better care of my body! thank you bunches for putting these out- in addition to helping me with my self care, i find them very informative and great to listen to while i work!
@@lambulance she's definitely not oil phobic any more. Hasn't been for at least a year. While her stuff might still be on the "too healthy" side for some, I think she's gotten much more accessible, with the exception of some of the gluten free stuff she uses. Luckily it's pretty easy to re-gluten her recipes.
Your channel has seriously helped me the past year or so -- I recently contracted a gastrointestinal illness while serving in peace corps, and had such an unhealthy relationship with food that I couldn't even begin to know how to manage my symptoms. Learning intuitive eating, watching reviews of other eating styles, and hearing your suggestions has seriously done wonders, both for helping me manage it, and figure out the root cause. I may be finding out I need surgery in the next few weeks, and if it fixes me, I have you to thank!
A couple things: wow I forgot how extra Tyra is. I used to love ANTM in its early days but yes it was problematic. Next- she didn’t really explain why she chooses the fake syrup. I’m not sure why anyone voluntarily does this so it would be interesting to find out why.
Hi Abbey! Love your content so much, I've been having an Abbey marathon today and am loving life! I see there's a new Harper's Bazaar video with Nadiya Hussain. Would love to see you review her - she is super sweet and her love for food is contagious.

I’m not a Tyra fan and not familiar with the controversies mentioned, but I will say that when I saw her give a talk telling off a magazine for making fun of gaining weight and wearing a bathing suit (probably about 15 years ago) it was the first time my 16 year old self ever heard the idea that I could be beautiful as I was.
Holy shit....that was 15 years ago!? I'm getting old 😩
Yes exactly! I'm not sure where people are getting this body shaming that Tyra was doing. I don't see it. She was body shamed herself even at the beginning of her career. She was always the bigger suzed model even though she was still considered skinny.
Tyra Banks gave me a really bad, long lasting misunderstanding with food. She had this "bitesize diet" practice on her talkshow back when I was younger. So I constantly ate small bitesized portions of food and got only like 500-800 calories daily. As a growing teenager. It was a big yikes.
WHAT?!
Oof thats no good! Best ive found is stop eating when you feel full, it takes so much will power for me, but its for the best because i tend to overeat in a short span of time and i feel really sick after, so im trying to make good habits for myself
Oh my gosh.. I still remember her telling one of the models on ANTM to lose weight so you could better see her cheekbones... I know this seems like "normal" model world commentary but man, it stuck with me!
Yeah that's obviously not the way to go. Eat a shit ton of low calorie dense foods and lose the weight while feeling full
It's so confusing. Because she'd do that and then was like the face of body positivity at the same time.
I've lost 25 lbs so far just letting my self eat small amounts of whatever I want and reminding myself to add protein to my meals.
That’s awesome.
Abbey has helped me have a better mindset about food.
Just throwing it out there, her "not worrying" about her weight gain could just be because she knows how to get it off quickly by starving herself. I used to rationalize my yoyo dieting in that way. "Well it's ok if I've gained 15 pounds, I know I can lose it in a couple weeks." And thus the constant dieting begins...
yeah that tooth gap thing with Danielle, they got at her for not wanting to close it but a few seasons later they made a girl widen her tooth gap.
My New York heart cried when she hollowed out that bagel ❤🥯 😭
It’s all about the density of that chewy bite, knowwhatimean?
I had a bagel for breakfast (bacon egg and cheese) and it was so good. The whole bagel.
MY MONTREAL HEART WAS DESTROYED WHO TF HOLLOWS OUT A BAGEL?! 😭😭😭
😫😫
My heart and ears cried at her being so EXTRA / melodramatic
What is Tyra... DOING in this video?
Too much.
Honestly I’m not even 4 mins in and flavouring coffee beans that you can’t really use for other things seems like a good practice for not wasting stuff
That’s a good point.
Yeah, I agree. And if you're going to cover up the flavor of coffee anyway, you might as well use lower quality beans. Leave the really good stuff for people who actually enjoy the taste of coffee (yes, I'm admittedly a coffee purist and snob).
What kind of playwright monologue was she going for? How did you make it through her whole video, Abbey? Lol
I was so happy when she was fast forwarding Tyra's clips😅
Hahaha same
Right? I literally asked out loud, "why the f is she talking like that??" I considered clicking off the video just bc of her annoying monologue but I love Abbey too much to do that.
I love your accent Abbey! I was NOT ready for that pronunciation of bagel 😂
I really needed to not be the only one questioning her "BAG - elle" over the world's "bae-gel" Also Montreal sesame seed bagels win over all others. I said what I said 🤷🏿♀️🥯
Canadian pronounciation ig lmaooo
I am Canadian and you don’t pronounce bagel the way Abby does.
Not even from Canada, and this is how I say bagel. I get lots of shit for it haha.
😂🇨🇦
Tyra just sounds like she’s on something and it ain’t whipped cream cheese.
Well whatever shes having i want some too , looks fun to live in that dimension over there
😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo
You know you've got more money than sense when you're paying for a bag of bagels only to hollow them out 😂
God, being around Tyra must just be exhausting.
A little review suggestion/request: Diana Malloy.
Not that she needs any suggestions - quite the opposite. She's criminally underrated (and also a wonderful person from what I can tell), and loads more people need to find her. I have a feeling you're going to love her!
I love her
yessss!
On the list!
Aww I love Diana! She’s so sweet.
And what's the point of using whipped cream cheese if you're just going to microwave it? It's going to melt everywhere. I am so confused.
That's true too!
Damn, as soon as Tyra mentioned fake maple syrup I knew Abbey was coming for her lol. I love how Abbey appears less and less concerned with appearing "proper" (dignified? I'm not sure the word I'm looking for) and is giving us more off the cuff reactions that make me laugh out loud so hard. Still very articulate and bringing the receipts but I feel like we're seeing more of her real personality now than we did before. Is that just me?
I love real maple syrup! For the longest time I wouldn't allow myself to eat pancakes because I was sucked into diet culture. It is thanks to you Abbey, your enlightened by intuitive eating series and sheet pan pancake recipe, that I have been able to finally have syrup again, guilt free and with absolute joy!!!
That's so wonderful!
Where can we find the sheet pan pancake recipe? I love pancakes so much but I can never seem to cook them right on my stove top!
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad ❤️
Abbey, your videos have helped me face my disordered eating head on. You always address food and eating habits in a kind (and sassy 😉) way that is so approachable. Thank you for being so awesome!!
I'm so glad they're helpful!
I literally have a 5 liter / 1 gallon jug of maple syrup in my fridge. Of course I am Canadian. It’s not cheap, but soooooo worth it.
I love it too!
Lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin- only pure maple syrup. I live in Texas now- pay through the nose for the real maple syrup- but so worth it!
I grew up using Aunt Jemima "pancake syrup" and only tried real maple syrup as an adult. The real stuff tastes *different*, not better; it's not the flavor I associate with pancakes. At this point, pancake syrup is more nostalgia-based. I like American "trash" chocolate, too, as well as higher quality stuff. It all has a place for me with nothing inherently superior, only different from each other.
I get that too!
Yes! Same here! I was actually turned off by real syrup .
I loved Aunt Jemima or corn syrup on my pancakes. I found maple syrup too thin and runny and not sweet enough lol . It wasn't until I cut out refined sugars as an adult, that I developed a taste for it. Now I love it.
@@carolsimpson4422 yes, exactly. Maple syrup tastes amazing, but the pancakes absorb it like water. I want my syrup to cling and coat.
I like pancake syrup a little more on french toast or pancakes because it has a buttery taste in addition to the sweetness. It’s very much a nostalgia trip for me and I will never do that differently.
When I had gestational diabetes (and checking my blood sugar level several times a day along with 4 shots of insulin a day) I can say with certainty that anything with high fructose corn syrup shot my blood sugar level up and it stayed up for much much longer than literally anything else I consumed. That was an eye opener for me. High fructose corn syrup is harder on your body and I think it’s careless to write it off like it’s basically like any other sugar. It’s not.
"Audtion tape...for CATS"😂 The shade hahahaha
😂
I'm so confused, what kinda monster hollows out a bagel. Just eat a spoonful of cream cheese if you're going to do this honestly
More room to put more cream cheese or other things in it so that its not just carbs
@@SJaber01 lol but that‘s literally the point of a bagel? like if you’re gonna scoop it out to get rid of carbs, maybe just buy thin sliced bagels or regular toast?
Did she say she hollowed it out? Maybe I missed that part?
@@SJaber01 but then just eat cream cheese with a spoon? You're wasting the bagel surely?
@@ccap3211 Yeah it's in the thumbnail as well.
I remember seeing Tyra on her talk show years ago, and she described a diet she followed where she just had a couple of bites of each item. She said she would go to a buffet and get everything she wanted, but only a bite or two of each thing. I was still steeped in diet culture, and even I saw the absurdity in it. But of course, I tried it because sHe LoSt 20 PoUnDs! 🤦♀️
Abbey you look so good in this video. Also the Dwight clip was perfect
Thank you!
As a girl with a Gap I remember that remark she said to Danielle making me feel so insecure at that time. Smh
It's crazy. Mean while, in my tribe, a woman born with a tooth gap is classed as the most attractive.
Not to mention that a few cycles later, she actually GAVE another (white) girl a bigger gap so she could be marketed as more "high fashion" 🙄
I used to love ANTM growing up, but I never realized all the damaging rhetoric it was spouting until I got older (I'm 30 now, so I was watching every cycle from the very beginning!) It's still a bit of a guilty pleasure, like comfort food. It may not be the most healthy, but sometimes you need a bit of mindless comfort 😜
I think it’s so insane the amount of weight I put into her opinion as a young girl. I didn’t look up to many people but do feel like I idolized her a bit. It’s so for me to think about my insecurities of my smile before braces. I wish I was a bit older to develop my own opinion but do remember the moment where I could see through her bullshit.
@@RootsInWisdom same!
I don't get that remark about the tooth gap...if you don't know who she is, look up the model Lauren Hutton. Also, I really liked when Madonna had her tooth gap.
A reminder that ANTM is not the only reason to hate Tyra - she also had an MLM (read: pyramid scheme but add makeup)
Abbey was giving so much subtle, classy shade towards Tyra, I loved it. I honestly can’t stand Tyra’s extraness at all. Bless her
yes and I was living for the shade.
Yeah..white women 'shading' a black woman's food diary really sits well with me :/ I would never see this video and think ...this is the emotionally intelligent and wise dietician for me.
@@MrAmkid with allllll the BS that tyra has done to countless women through the years including black women. Including making white women dress in black face, forcing women to do things they don't want to do, putting down 6 feet tall 130 pound models for being overweight and plenty of other things. No, I am not saying shading ANYONE is right but there are certainly other people to call out for doing all sorts of things. (By the way, my father isn't a white man. I came out really pale like my Mom)
@@MrAmkid this has nothing to do with Tyra’s race. Stop making everything about race because it will start to invalidate what ACTUAL racism is. Tyra just is not a likeable person and Abbey agrees.
@@hellobye7697 regardless of how likeable or unlikable Tyra might be, women of colour don't need white blond health experts making catty videos about their food choices. To each their own.
I didnt realize how early i was until i read the comments. 😂
😂
On flavored coffee: Back in the early/mid 2000’s Celestial Seasonings (the tea company) made an AMAZING line of flavored coffees. They infused the beans with flavor through some sort of steaming process and it was some of the most amazing flavored coffee I’ve ever had. And then they stopped making it. 😭 Husband and I were so sad!!!!!
Edited to add: The Canadians are TRIGGERED. 😂 DO NOT MESS WITH THE MAPLE.
As a Canadian, I also don't understand why someone would actively avoid maple syrup under than the price. My favourite thanksgiving food is sweet potato that's pre cooked, and then fried or baked in a mix of maple syrup and margarine (I'm lactose intolerant so had to switch from butter), and sometimes we add a bit of coconut sugar or brown sugar (depending on if diabetic family is there or not, honestly they taste the same to me), and it's just so good! After my grandmother passed away, I took on making it every year, and that comment about syrup reminded me of it.
The part where she felt she had to highlight her weight gain and contrast it to her previous year swimsuit cover kind of reminds me of when people want to point out something before others can as a defense mechanism, and also she wants to show that she's ok with weight gain and is 'part' of the body postivity movement...but then she had to bring up the fact that she had a conventional swimsuit body.
Projection. She assumes you care as much as she does. Also isnt she retired? I feel like as you get older its healthy to let go and just explore everything you restricted yourself. But then again it was a rare display of simultaneous egocentric self-hatred. Life is a competition to her.
Instead of buying and try to be satisfied with these 'diet' ice cream, I decided to buy mini ice cream sandwiches, much easier to portion control that regular ice cream but still just as satisfying.
I'm glad that works for you!
I hate substitutes ingredients too. It's better to eat the real deal and whole ingredients in moderate protons in my opinion. Full fat, full cream all the way.
I guess infused coffee is like the marinated meat section at the grocery store where they sell soon to be expired meat with strong marinades to cover up any smells, lol.
True!
🤢🤮
"I'm just gonna take a sip of my coffee flavored coffee..." 💀
If you do another one of these would you consider a celebrity chef like, Andrew Zimmern, Andrew Rea, or Joshua Weissman?
Or Carla Hall!
I'll put these on the list!
@@AbbeysKitchen Thank you, I appreciate it.
Andrew Zimmern
I watch them all! Lmao the holy trinity
Fellow Canadian here!! “Not that fancy Canadian stuff” killed me. If I ever liked Tyra in the past. That is now in the past.
I’m cryinggggg! “BAG-el” 😂😂😂😂
The weird thing was at the time of ANTM, these problematic comments and behaviours were completely normalized. Now they would get you cancelled.
I love adding a few dashes of cinnamon and tumeric to my french press before pouring water over the coffee! Tumeric sounds weird but adds an awesome earthiness!
I get that. 👍
We sell turmeric lattes at one of the cafe's I work at, it seems to be a thing, good job on finding something that works for you.
Interesting 🤔 I’m gonna try this girl
@@niapatricia9405 it's the bomb! I usually add a little soy milk, too, but it's also tasty black. It's fun to play with spices and coffee - during the fall we like to add cloves or all spice!
I love to throw a few bits of whole spices in with the coffee sometimes! Star anise, cinnamon, cloves, a slice of ginger... But my favorite spiced coffee is the traditional Arabic coffee my old neighbors from Jordan would serve - strong, sweet, and full of cardamom pods. Yummmmm!
Can you review Sophia Esperanza? She’s a vegan youtube vlogger. Sort of similar to Pickuplimes, but different. Would love to hear your take on her “what I eat in a day” videos!
On the list!
How can someone prefer fake syrup?! I'm gonna need to sit down for a minute.
It could be the thickness. Quite a bunch of Americans don't appreciate the more watery consistency of maple syrup. Since childhood, we were engrained with the belief that syrup MUST be thick to be enjoyable. Also, price, always a factor
I know right!
My husband unfortunately 🤮 he hates the taste of maple. 😓
@@thriftynative maybe let him eat what he wants then? Of all people, his spouse should be able to do that.
Idk I’m Canadian and my parents weren’t rich enough for real maple, so we always had the pancake syrup. I can afford it now but the pancake syrup is comforting to me.
Yesterday I felt like pasta but I added black beans, avocado, tomato, olive oil, fresh sausage and vinegar to the noodles so there was a nice pasta salad feel. I think Abbey would have been proud. 🤓
Sounds amazing!
"fake maple syrup. Not the fancy Canadian..."
Why would you go for fake syrup
Just take corn syrup then
The fenugreek flavoring obviously
Her diet was my exact diet when I was at my heaviest weight. Which is fine! But I never had ANY energy and I was always craving more salt/more sugar. I felt sooo terrible when I ate like this.
Oh no!
Would love to see you review the British show, "Secret Eaters!"
As a person also named Tyra, I too am side eyeing Tyra Banks.
I can't stand whatever character she's playing in that video WOW
Also starting to get suspicious how true to life some of these diets are... who has enough money to eat all the delicious food, have it made professionally in a health conscious way or get a professional meal plan done with their fav foods, and chooses to hollow out a bagel or pass on a handful of chips lol But that's me 😂 I'm not good at diet anything, food is my hobby, my soul mate, and love language 😍
Also LOVE the Canadian spirit in this video.
🇨🇦
Damn Abbey! I swear you are popping these videos out so fast, it's amazing. So proud q///q
Thank you!
Didn’t know someone eating a bagel was something to dissect
This might be your most Canadian video yet. As a fellow Canadian, I love itttt
😊❤️
When you explained the flavour hunt I really felt that....... I tell myself ah yes that rice cake will satisfy me. No? Ah yes those pea crisps will but Nope *5 snacks later* guess I'm having what I wanted when I started 😭
Also why does Tyra talk as if shes rehearsing for an audition?
Totally!
Totally do this often too. Just to end up eating whatever it was i was trying to avoid by eating all the other junk! And then i've consumed ALL the things.
Why is everyone mad at Tyra and not mad at the modeling industry? She don’t make the rules! If at that time there were not models with the gaps and Tyra was just telling her what it is why is she the villain? Oh yeah, I forgot because she’s black! For those of you who forget ; Tyra was JUST the host of the show. There are producers, there arewriter's, there are whole teams of people that orchestrated the challenges etc.
Thank you!! Not one did she mention Janice Dickinson or the other judges who were just as toxic or even more toxic. I just didn't find Tyra as someone who body shamed. She did defend a lot of the models. Also she herself was body shamed multiple times.
@@latonyanewsome0 💯
I just recently found your channel and really enjoy your content. Love how you don't tell people to survive on carrot or celery sticks but advocate for healthy balanced meals. As someone struggling with an eating disorder your advice will be invaluable.
This session (as well as the comments) leaked too much from an overview of her food choices into a judgement of her as a person. I would prefer for you to stick to food. That’s why we are here. E.g. If you think she is passé, simply don’t cover her.
Omg, totally agree.
There is so much to unpack about ANTM that is both complicated and intense, I could write an entire essay on it. As someone who was there when the show debuted and watched it, I remember at the time I was always talking about the colorism. There was a lot of self-hatred and shame at play and Tyra would often pick on Black contestants who had darker complexions, as well as perpetuate the double standards applied to European American vs. African American contestants.
As much as I acknowledge that damage of that though, I think it's important to watch the show in the context of it's day. I used to watch the show with my sister who (RIP) used to get even more heated then I did, (and I got pretty heated) and we would speak on this (don't even get me started on the Blackface episode, cause I think we almost turned it off and this was back in the day). At the time I we used to get a lot of flack for talking about the Tyra Banks show and it's colorism, because there was even less Black representation on television then and speaking out against your only representation didn't go over very well. So my views me and my sister's views were not popular than, and we got called haters a lot. Also I consider Tyra Banks to be as much a victim as she is a perpetrator of the highly polarized Black/White dichotomy of the day. She herself as one of the trailblazers besides Naomi Campbell and Iman had a incredible amount of pressure to be the "right" kind of Black person.
As a young woman I went to a modeling tryout (not ANTM) with my sister back in the day. I happened to be very slim, fair to medium skin tone African American woman and my sister was an African American woman of a darker complexion. I was 22 at the time and my sister 19. We were both size 2. The whole experience was quite toxic. I remember us eating salads all day because we didn't want to bloat. They measured us both and said that our waist lines were the smallest they measured coming in at about 21 inches around. They were also making toxic comments like our butts weren't like typical Black girls, and they my lighter skin was really pretty for Black girl, contrasting it to low-key disparaging ones made about my sister's. This was the year 2000. I was 5'6 and shorter than my sister's 5'8. They said I would make a good print model and she would make a good runway model. In the end they said that we didn't have the "right look" they were going for and picked one of the White models. So even after we ticked all the boxes, we didn't get picked. After we were like F them and our mom took us to Nations to get hamburgers and my sister got fries and a grilled cheese with not cheese (she was a vegan b4 it was trending and was deeply into animal rights). We didn't really diet, although the diet mentality did affect us, knowing what I do now, I've reframed that a lot. It was an eye opening experience. Watching the show definitely brought back a lot of that memory and so we were able to digest it differently against all of the Black empowerment literature that we had begun to read in our late teens and early twenties.
The modeling industry was extremely toxic at the time and things happened that definitely would not fly today. That's the context of the pressure that Tyra Banks and other Black models were under back then. It was extreme. This does not excuse her actions but provides context for compassion. Unfortunately, instead of going the Iman route, (who sought to bridge the inclusivity gap by launching one of the first multicultural makeup lines pre Savage X Fenty) she went the other way. Due to the rampant racism and body shaming of the day, I feel like she sadly thought that was the way to go to survive in the cutthroat industry. Damn I did write an essay though. LOL. But colorism and shame around skin color is a complicated subject that has plagued the Black community since it's roots in the horrific slave trade.
Thank you! I feel like people only see her as a monster and I feel like that's unfair to her. She's just a product of a toxic modeling industry culture. No one likes to point out Janice Dickinson.
I say bagel like ‘bay-gal’
@Rachel Forshee Depends where in Canada you are..she is Ontario so says it like Beg-al. Here on the west coast we say Bay-gul.
😂👍
I was so distracted by her pronunciation, I didn’t know Canadians pronounced it like that 😅
Abby killing it with graciousness as always! She clearly doesn’t agree with some Tyra’s past comments/choices, but is still kind and respects Tyra’s humanity. We need more people in the world like Abby!
Thank you!
My favourite is that you use the Scott pilgrim vs the world mouth swearing cover thing, AND you’re Canadian! Freaking amazing
Love you. “Fake” syrup tastes better than maple syrup. Sue me. Come at me. I’ll live.
😂Whatever you enjoy!
Another option is to just use half the bagel. That’s usually a better match for my appetite, and open-faced sandwiches have plenty of room for toppings and are way easier to eat. My favorite is an everything with my local fish market’s smoked salmon pate, topped with cucumber slices. It hits all the right spots: crunchy, smoky, and sticks with me until lunch. The other half doesn’t keep well, so I’ll either split it with my husband or use the other half in my lunch.
I do actually love to warm my bagel in the microwave with cream cheese, it makes it just a little softer 😍
I grew up down the road from a maple syrup farm in Wisconsin and so there's nothing better in my opinion!
I just add about half a teaspoon of gingerbread spice on top of the coffee grounds before I brew it (stovetop percolator). I started with more, but half a tsp is perfect to cut the bitterness and make it taste decent.
That sounds great!
This is clever, I tried this with a cardomom pod because my dentist told me to try it and it's amazing also
I love how you use The Office for your clips! So funny. I still just adore that show.
Please please please caption your videos for those of us who are hearing impaired.

Abbey coming for Tyra over maple syrup gave me so much serotonin I feel like I should be charged a fee
abbey's bag-gills and tyra's fake syrup! this is a tempestuous canadian conundrum in one video 😭
😂😂
I feel you girl as a fellow Canadian! You did right by our nation with that syrup segment! Lol!! Seriously though can I just express how much I appreciate you bleeping out your swear words! I love watching your videos and often my kids are around so I super appreciate that! It’s the little things! Obviously I also appreciate everything I learn from these videos too haha!!
Totally! And I'm glad that's helpful 😂
i knew the canadian in u would jump out as soon as she mentioned the fake maple syrup
Yup 😂
🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁❤
Anyone else wanna make a video about what they eat in a day so Abbey can see it or is it just me?
I've never been so early! It's funny because I've been waiting for this review since you started commenting on Harper's Bazaar's videos!
I hope you enjoyed it!
LOL to that Ruffles chip analogy--I wanted some birthday cake Oreos. Tried to kid myself with dark-chocolate covered almonds and lentil puffs... ultimately ate 7-ish Oreos in the end 😂Yummy dessert at last. Those healthy snacks *are* great when you're in the mood, but also they cost $$$
I used to really like Tyra, then kinda lost interest due to different controversies. But I like how enthusiastically she talks about food and seems to have a pretty healthy relationship with it and her body image (for a black supermodel nonetheless, who's had to deal with a lot of body-shaming herself when she became "too curvy for a model").
i tend to forget to eat for days on end, somehow, and these videos remind me that i actually need fuel, and it's gotten me to take better care of my body! thank you bunches for putting these out- in addition to helping me with my self care, i find them very informative and great to listen to while i work!
As a tween, I loved the makeover episodes of ANTM the best but looking back they were HORRIFIC. Those poor girls.
This was actually SAVAGE and not subtle at all 😅 Mean gal Abbey got the claws out.
next do health nut nutrition and Simply Quinoa
Caitlin Shoemaker
And Ellen fisher 😍
she's done Caitlin before :) th-cam.com/video/wsILVD_Y1yg/w-d-xo.html
I haven't watched Caitlin (From My Bowl) for a while. She comes off as oil-phobic and just a bit too of an unrealistic vegan.
@@lambulance she's definitely not oil phobic any more. Hasn't been for at least a year. While her stuff might still be on the "too healthy" side for some, I think she's gotten much more accessible, with the exception of some of the gluten free stuff she uses. Luckily it's pretty easy to re-gluten her recipes.
If vanilla could be flavored vanilla it would be Caitlin shoemaker lol
Your channel has seriously helped me the past year or so -- I recently contracted a gastrointestinal illness while serving in peace corps, and had such an unhealthy relationship with food that I couldn't even begin to know how to manage my symptoms. Learning intuitive eating, watching reviews of other eating styles, and hearing your suggestions has seriously done wonders, both for helping me manage it, and figure out the root cause. I may be finding out I need surgery in the next few weeks, and if it fixes me, I have you to thank!
Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad it's been helpful for you!
A couple things: wow I forgot how extra Tyra is. I used to love ANTM in its early days but yes it was problematic. Next- she didn’t really explain why she chooses the fake syrup. I’m not sure why anyone voluntarily does this so it would be interesting to find out why.
Because it carmelizes easier! I actually knew the answer to this :) Actual maple syrup won't become that sugary crispness that fake syrup does.
Mainly because it's lower in calories compared to the real thing.
@@kristiemao4275 i don't think that's it? I know some people prefer the taste u do u yknow
She likely just prefers the taste of it. Many people grow up with fake maple syrup.
Hi Abbey! Love your content so much, I've been having an Abbey marathon today and am loving life! I see there's a new Harper's Bazaar video with Nadiya Hussain. Would love to see you review her - she is super sweet and her love for food is contagious.
I'll have a look at that!
I'd love to see you review Nadiya Hussain's what I eat in a day! It's great and she's so passionate about food :)
I'll have a look!
I love her so much
No one knows who she is so no
@@thewinner7382 she's incredibly well-known, just clearly not in your part of the world. No need to be an asshole about it. I've not heard of at least half the people reviewed by Abbey cuz I'm not American so...
