    To be fair, she specified that it’s a *fantasy* diet; and I agree, it has nothing to do with reality

    • @ivy_2300 says:

      But what does that even mean? That’s she’s just dreaming about it?

    • @funguscrepes says:

      That was a violation 😂😂😂

    • @helRAEzzzer says:

      😂😂😂 Who would want to just eat that!? You may as well eat nothing, you’ll have more calories at the end of the day. Celery burns calories because it has no calories itself, so eating it burns a few calories. She seems to have undiagnosed orthorexia

  • @danymarks5891 says:

    Excellent video 👏👏

  • @TheGPFilmMaker says:

    Did this woman just say “not have the energy to exercise authentically?” What is exercising authentically?? I get joyful movement but…

    • @blue_shoes8715 says:

      Probs just spewing words out, I doubt she’s really thought about what she says. Especially with the dopamine levels comment

  • @bodyofhope says:

    Did she show celery and call it “carb city”? I’m so confused.

    • @Disneymagic24 says:

      It’s cause they are vegan. So anything that is vegan they say they are CARBING UP since veggies and fruit are only cards despite how much or little they may have. My sister does it and it’s very annoying

    • @omnipotentfaces1514 says:

      @@Disneymagic24vegans eat carbs.. they don’t eat animal products… so bread, potatos, pasta, noodles, rice… it’s all vegan..

    • @helRAEzzzer says:

      ​@omnipotentfaces1514 not all bread isn’t vegan…. most breads have eggs or milk and yeast (idk why yeast is vegan – it’s a living thing. Yall need to pick a lane)

    • @helRAEzzzer says:

      ​@@omnipotentfaces1514most pasta has eggs in it, too.

  • @84Elenai says:

    That’s what an “healthy” binge eating disorder looks like. Nikki Glaser talked about her experience with that habit. She had problematic bulimic/binge eating tendencies but wanted to stay fit at the same time, so she would eat huge amounts of healthy food during the day until she felt sick. I think she’s now in recovery and thanks to therapy etc. she is getting better.
    That’s called “having an eating disorder”, that’s not “bulking”.

    “The phuck?!” 🤨 Killed me.

  • @hyenamehlk5543 says:

    “baseline dopamine” wtf is that supposed to mean? like 0 dopamine? lol

  • @moranthang9482 says:

    As someone with depression I always get really nervous when people wave with random food and start to talk about dopamine levels.

    • @Tatorrella says:

      Omg same

    • @tamashiranai1091 says:

      I feel that so hard xD

    • @nightporter2023 says:

      It’s giving “dopamine fasting.”

    • @_evelynjoy_ says:

      This! Especially with ADHD…I get so weirded out when people talk about dopamine levels…Bcs if food could fix dopamine levels as much as they claim every person diagnosed with ADHD would be sent to a dietitian.

    • @Diana-qp2rw says:

      They have a point, though, diet and exercise can help with mental illness, including depression. That’s scientifically proven.
      I’m not saying that will fix everything for everyone because it still requires more than a good diet and exercise, but it can do a lot for many people, especially those whose depression isn’t that bet (yet/at the moment). Therapists encourage that, too, and for some people their mental health problems do stem from their diet.
      So while it’s a complex topic and some influencers fail to mention that, food can help with dopamine levels.
      A friendly suggestion, though, when that content isn’t helpful to you or even makes your depression worse don’t watch it.

  • @maelleguerre6073 says:

    Hey abbey can you make another video reviewing tiktok diets like this? I loved your last one!

  • @dailyn9121 says:

    Bulking when your afraid of food 😌

  • @sh0eh0rn4 says:

    calling it a “fat girl fantasy diet” is really gross

  • @nymusicman31 says:

    Thanks for doing these videos and fighting misinformation

  • @rugbycarebear says:

    “The motivation to exercise with authenticity.” 💀💀💀 I have never once exercised “with authenticity” 😂

  • @dsy1081 says:

    I didn’t know one could exercise “inauthentically”.

  • @gingerann4027 says:

    When I was in highschool my Chem teacher was pregnant, and this kid said to her…”I thought you were bulking”…

  • @cacao_0000 says:

    Totally unrelated but your makeup today is so bright and looks amazing!!

  • @user-lm6jh4yr6n says:

    This is off topic but could you do a make up tutorial? You look fantastic!

  • @SZACULT says:

    ur glowing!!

  • @dopex89 says:

    I’m not a neuroscientist, but even if you produce dopamine, that doesn’t mean your brain will let you have it, or have as much as you want for as long as you want, based on diet. Dopamine is released and quickly taken away and destroyed in some cases, and a lot of medication (and recreational drugs) target the process of “taking it away”. So eat a healthy diet, but cucumbers won’t help with dopamine unfortunately. Unless they are your favorite and bring you satisfaction idk.

    • @beththegreen says:

      Also I’m, dopamine isn’t produced via veg
      It’s things like eggs, chicken that contain the building blocks to create dopamine
      Veg don’t have that at all

    • @kittster2785 says:

      As a neuroscientist, can you please explain which part of the brain is responsible for understanding irony/sarcasm? Because it seems yours and Abbey’s is severely underdeveloped.

  • @ferretly says:

    LMAO the dopamine pseudoscience is insane. Thanks for calling this out
