Thanx 4 covering this lady. I’m concerned 4 her. I’m in perimenopause and need serious protein bc i’m more hungry. Theres no way a diet like hers wd sustain me!
Can’t wait to learn more about fruits in this video! From „They are full of sugar, too much = unhealthy for you!“ to „Fruits are super good for you, eat as much as you want!“ I hear everything. 🙈
I hope the video answers all your questions!🥰
So glad you’re covering this woman! She keeps popping up and it’s maddening hearing all the misinformation and not being able to do much as a viewer
Definitely frustrating
The wordt thing is that there are people in her comments asking for advice, and sometimes those people are teenagers. Infuriating
YES its like a trainwreck, I have to watch but its so wrong!
Yep had to push “not interested” on her content after a while bc she kept popping up. I thankfully never see her now!
@@kisikisikisi you’re so right ughh : … ( terrible, feel helpless bout it too, I hope parents check in with their teenagers cuz oof the stuff now, the world is scary
I did this in college, not intentionally, but i had really no appetite (stress, heat, excessive exercise) and could only stomach fruit… it ate away the lining of my stomach and caused some major problems…
so sorry to hear that
Happened to me too… can you explain your symptoms in the stomach? I experience the same and now I struggle with many foods…
Probably unripe fruit. Horrible for you.
I eat a minimum of ten RIPE bananas a day. Plus other things, of course.
I have zero physical problems at 61.
-10k a day
-10 bananas a day
Keeps the doc away
@debrablakeley2789 that’s not good for you.
@@debrablakeley2789M’AM you have an eating disorder…
I definitely tried to do this in highschool. Only ate a small smoothie for breakfast that was under 100cal, and had a huge bag of raw veggies for lunch with nothing else. When dinner time came I would try to eat as many veggies as possible instead of other food, to the point of feeling extremely full because I had eaten so many vegetables. I craved that fullness like you mentioned, I felt like I had cracked the code. How surprising I was later diagnosed with an ED right??
Me too!! I remember classmates thinking it was funny that I ate a bag of raw mushrooms and broccoli for lunch, but now that I’m looking back on it, it’s really sad!
In addition to the extremely questionable nutritional profile, can you imagine how expensive this is? I can’t even get that kind of watermelon at my local grocery store this time of year, and the last time they had full-sized watermelons they were selling for about $15 each!
And how long do we think it would take to actually eat all the soup and salad? I remember Unnatural Vegan sharing a video from when she was raw recording how long it took to chew through a similar sized salad (just the salad) and it was like 25 minutes. No talking, just chewing. I have to think the soup would be stone cold before she got to the end.
yes this diet definitely is for those with time and money
This and the carnivore and keto too! It must be SOO expensive all that meat. At least in the UK a bag of potatoes is £1 and a tiny bit of chicken breast starts at like £4!
It’s summer in New Zealand and Watermelon is currently NZ$10 a kilo. A 5 kg half watermelon a day would cost $350 a week before I have even started paying for anything else.
@@mamascarlatti What’s going on in New Zealand. I’m in Australia and watermelon has been around $1 per kg. I’d have thought we’d be much the same.
@@mika_5476importation costs are much higher for a smaller country
I’m a registered dietitian and love my fruit and veg. But damn, I could not eat that many bananas or watermelon despite it being my favorite fruit. Diarrhea train here I come
I need to keep snacking to stay awake on long road trips. In an effort to not eat chips, I snacked on apples during a 7 hour trip. I had the worst diarrhea that evening!
@@doritbergen8032Because you are not used to it
You could not pay us enough money to eat 8 bananas in one day, much less in 1 sitting. That sounds awful!
I might agree with you, except that these days all but the tiniest amount of raw fruit or veggies brings on diarrhea.@@debrablakeley2789
i don’t know how they eat that many bananas or watermelon in one sitting. imagine that all sitting in your stomach
For someone who “never has to worry about weight gain” she sure talks about weight gain A LOT.
She sure does…
??????????????????????????????????
Who?
@@marinazupanc2286 The person the video is about lol?
An additional problem arises when these people call their diet ‘vegan.’ Although it isn’t untrue, they don’t eat any animal products, it is problematic when these are the ‘vegan’ influencers that are popular and getting the views and not the balanced vegan who eats enough of a variety of foods. Then when one of them dies from malnutrition people attribute it to their ‘vegan’ diet and not an obvious eating disorder. When I first went vegan I looked for YouTubers to follow (in addition to doing nutritional research) to figure out how the heck to eat a vegan diet as it is not usually taught in schools or your family unless they are also vegan. The top videos were fully raw or raw till 4. These same influencers are not vegan 8 years later (because their diets were unsustainable) but then blamed all their health problems on a vegan diet. The same people are now follow a carnivore diet so one extreme diet to another.
Pick up Limes, Gaz Oakley, the Vegan Gym – or sensible vegan youtubers, with sensible diets and no drama!
I’ve been unraveling a lot of toxic food thoughts and associations that apparently I’ve carried for years. Now I don’t track calories, I pick smarter, more satisfying food without having to put a lot of thought into it, and I don’t feel guilty! I had a big moment a few months ago, where I was thinking about how good I’d been and that I could have some chocolate. And I realized: I’m worthy anyway. I don’t have to earn things that make me happy and a square of chocolate is not going to kill me.
Also I live in New Orleans and there’s King Cake everywhere now and I’m going to eat it whenever my body says so. Because it makes me happy.
Why do people keep making food such a hard topic to address? Like, eat balanced, whatever you like and consciously, in line with your beliefs and values and that’s it! Im a proud vegan, which leaves animal products out of my diet, but I love food so much. I love cooking, eating healthy, going out to eat in restaurants and enjoying my snacks. There are so many stress sources in life, food shouldn’t be one of them. Also, these trends only lead to misconceptions like thinking all vegans are lacking information and are forcing extreme diets. Thanks for sharing Abby.
Agreed! people want to do what’s best but then get confused by the sheer amount of misinformation out there
@@WiseMindNutritionyou have to think of it as MISinformation. You should only ever need one or two books on this stuff from qualified authors who somewhat align with your ethical beliefs around food – and then leave it!!
The misinformation and contradictions you find on YouTube are intentional. It encourages you to believe that you don’t have the information to make choices. And so you keep returning, keep watching, and never trust yourself to make decisions…
YES! I hope, one day that ‘vegan’ won’t be used as a descriptor for these raw food & HCLF diets. When practitioners inevitably move onto the next fad, it damages the credibility of the animal rights movement. Veganism isn’t unhealthy or unsustainable. Fad diets are
@@mika_5476 that’s deep
Veganisn is misinformation.
The food weight thing is super similar to my ED. Caloric density is one of the reasons I struggle with food, and it made my binges worse.
Thank you so much for addressing this, I genuinely feel bad for all the vulnerable people she is affecting with all the misinformation she is spreading. In one of her videos she talked about how it is fat that gives diabetes and not the sugar so it is fine to eat all these fruits as long as you do not eat any fat. I felt horrified that in this day an age anyone with internet and a camera can spread all sorts of nonsense on the internet. Given that some people do not know better they easily fall in this trap.
Here we go…. again. Just in time for the new year.
We genuinely hope no one gets hurt as a result of following this diet!
Your doggie checking in when you were talking in an animated way. So sweet with his attentive look and wagging tail.
Having four dogs myself, I’m pretty sure that at 3:11 she was asking to “go potty.” 🤓
In one of her videos she talks about her previous diet and her struggles to stay lean. 30% of her calories were from fats and 10% of her calories were from protein. Welp, there’s your problem. Take 10% of those fat calories and turn them into high quality protein calories. Have some broccoli, maybe some legumes, maybe some PB2 peanut butter. She’ll feel more full and likely trim some calories. All the macros were already counted so just tune it.
For someone who grew up in the ‘Freelee’ era, its shocking that this diet has come back around, when there’s so much documented evidence on the internet about why this doesn’t work.
Yeah cause they have actual eating disorders, information doesn’t really help with that
THANK YOU for addressing this misinformation and debunking all the TikTok nutrition frenzy out there!!!!!
i fell into the 80/10/10, raw til 4 diet in my early 20s. it became an obsession. can’t remember how long i did it, but it ended in me bingeing an entire jar of peanut butter because i was SO protein deprived! it worries me that people who already have a negative relationship with food will see these videos and fall into it as well.
I’m so glad you reviewed this one. This girl was the reason I deleted TikTok, it’s just dangerous to have an unqualified person giving people ideas for weight loss and imo, justifying binge eating at the same time. It doesn’t matter if the videos are someone bingeing on McDonalds or Watermelon, it’s just so risky for vulnerable people to see x
