Dietitian Reviews Old What I Eat in a Day Wedding Diet 

It's such an unhealthy part of US wedding culture. I'm engaged, and I've already been working towards better health and fitness (for about 10 months prior to getting engaged). So many people commented that I was "already on the right track" for my wedding or would have "the sexiest bridal look."

I got married last week. Pretty much everyone commented on my body and weight loss.

So crazy! Like I consider myself at a good place with my body and the second I posted I was engaged "so are you gonna start building muscle tone for your wedding?" Like what?

Do people really ask that? (I haven’t been engaged or known anyone close that’s been engaged recently). That’s so rude and inappropriate. Seriously.

Or even just do a dedicated video on the science of set point theory and recovery after restriction

I was just thinking that

Yes!! really liked her vid

That isn't Abbey's specialty - leave that one to the experts.

Yes!

maria mtz it’s coming

Ikr, instead of telling us :)

Rosalind Charles I think so too

Yeah but UV is far more angry and smug. It puts lots of people off.

@@Bonnie-sd7et you think so? I find her hard hitting on occasion, but she seems to me to just have a broad sense of sarcasm and irony. Sometimes anger is justified though

Unnatural vegan has taken down her old videos. Though I don't see this wedding diet video as very problematic, as Abby has pointed out herself it does kind of feed into diet culture, especially with the low carb thing which can be triggering for a lot of people. I don't know if she still has the video monetised, but still that video goes against the philosophy of her channel and should no longer be up, because it can still influence negatively a lot of people.

Keira Owens oh totally

Love this

Maggie Craig yes! This is a complex topic but I’ll find a way to cover it

That would be awesome! I have food allergies to wheat, mustard, peanuts, treenuts, and pork

I'd love to see this too. I'm a type 2 diabetic and lactose intolerant.

Omg yes would be so amazing to do a video about this!! I struggle so much because of my food allergies and intolerances. I always have to food prep and read labels etc. it’s hard to ever just go with the flow

I have a household with: a diabetic, type 2, who cant have red or blue colouring a person who cant do mushrooms or cheese a food neophobe who cant eat green, cant tolerate onion because it squeaks, cant do certain textures and only veg (that he knows of) is corn. Me? totally phobic about seafoods ... not a fan of offal lol

I believe that a mix of "clean eating" and intuitive works for some people. For example, I could eat French fries everyday I didn't know it's bad.

Alexandre Andrejow but you would know it doesn’t feel good.

@@AbbeysKitchen those changes often go very slow. A lot of people eat like shit and feel like shit without realising the connection or just ignoring the connection because they are just addicted to junk food. Intuïtive eating only truely works if we didn't live in an environment with so many foods that are specificly engineerd to be as addictive as possible. Today "mindfull" eating is the closest you can get. It is easy to crave all sorts of unhealthy foods but you need your mind, your knowledge, to know that maybe you crave it, but it will not make you feel good. Another point, you can be vegan without feeling restricted and it being an all day topic of thought.... I do love your video's, I'm just a bit sceptic with intuïtive eating and the bullshit I see going around in the fat acceptance movement.... Personally I am transitioning into veganism (no way am throwing away perfectly edible food that is already in my house...)(also, meat and fish and everything will be a specialty thing, though I will not prepare it myself) and I eat mindfully. I am roughly aware of what a good portion for me looks like -so no several handfulls of nuts "because they are so healthy" but just a small palm full- but I don't count calories or macro's. A lot of people need to first learn what good amounts and good foods are before they start IE/ME. I would be interested to see your thoughts on the obesity crisis and the fat acceptance and health at every size movement. Sorry for this rambly message, it is unnaturally hot where I live and it is really taking it's toll on me...

@Maj Hill food is just food, your body will naturally crave what it needs if you give it the chance and listen

@Maj Hill I'm referring to your comment that food is a product. Food is simply food- it really doesnt need to go any deeper than that. When you remove morality from food and quit shaming yourself for eating things that we've deemed "bad", your cravings for these things naturally decrease. People who eat intuitively arent out here eating hot cheetos and donuts all day. But if you're craving "junk food" then it's likely your body needs some easy calories, carbs, fat, salt etc. You can choose not to eat the cheetos but it's important to give your body what it's really asking for (the underlying need for calories, carbs etc). By all means, choose whatever nutritionist you want and eat on your own terms :). I'm just speaking on what works for me and my clients

Kimberlee Green it was so low!! 😭

S M lol 😂

Jennie Eveleigh Lamond ugh I hear you!!!

thank you

Tati's World but I love toaster waffles ❤️

totally

Oooooo! That sounds absolutely amazing!

I used to despise popcorn but now... I NEED

Lindsay P yes!! My dad made up this weird one when he was in college and it’s so good! It’s basically just butter and soy sauce, definitely high in sodium but a fantastic treat! Especially for me since I need a fairly high salt diet because I have problems with low blood pressure. He also makes one with a spice mix of salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne, and paprika with Parmesan cheese. My other personal favorites are butter with everything bagel seasoning or olive oil with zaatar

I am not that creative! Lol I go for coconut oil and salt but want some non-oil options since I go to popcorn as a snack a lot. I’m also vegan so a vegan option would be superb. 👌🤞

Lindsay P great idea

Miranda Schwabe thanks 🙏🏻

Oh thank you so much!!!! I hope you love it

for sure. Thanks :)

rachel.doremi thanks 🙏🏻

myneoangel yes! Just different things working at different times

Emilia Mosher yes!

When I hear in ads I always think what food isn't dirty? There no clean food. veggies come the ground, don't forget meat industry. I'm not saying one shouldn't care what they put into their mouths. But let's be real y'all. There is no clean food!

sparkle fairy thanks 🙏🏻

YAAAAAAAAAS

paine0war1 lol 🤗

Angelica Garcia yay! Glad it’s helped

Yes! Whitney Simmons!

I’d love to know if Liezl Jayne’s calorie counting “system” makes sense to Abbey, or if she thinks it’s a little bordering on disordered eating!

@@rikketakera I tried it for a bit, and then realised she rounds things up a lot. Like, one egg is NOT 100kcal. Plus, for someone who exercises even a little most days a week, 1400 isn't enough

Monica Love 💗 on it

Liezl's recipes look soooo delicious

love them!

thanks!

Nicole Repousis absolutely!

loveinsearchofwords omg same! I didn’t see the end yet though so I hope it’s a happy ending

Eek glad I helped

yes!!!!

thanks so much

amazing! Thanks so much

haha yes!!

Rampaging Chipmunk it takes time but it’s also about giving yourself permission to enjoy said “junk” without judgment. Also what’s your definition of it “working”? Weight loss? That’s not the intention

I define “working” as allowing a person to maintain a healthy weight and get the necessary intake of vital nutrients. Intuitive eating can certainly work for that, but our culture’s food is not designed to encourage healthy consumption. Food companies design “junk food” (Which I’m defining as highly palatable high calorie food with low nutrient density) to encourage us to eat way more of it than needed and that food is the most visibly advertised, most readily available, most convenient, and often the cheapest. That situation doesn’t lend itself to the occasional usage that is harmless like your pizza example in the video. It leads to chronic intake in larger than healthy amounts at a higher frequency than is advisable. I’d even say that people usually don’t even think about it when they eat such foods which itself could be considered eating intuitively as I implied in the first post. This gets back to my initial point that one needs to understand nutrition and not have the previously defined “junk food” as the basis of ones diet for intuitive eating to work. Unfortunately, given the distressingly high percentage of the American population that is overweight or obese, I don’t think most people meet those criteria. Most people aren’t eating a generally healthy diet and as such, I don’t know that intuitive eating is something they should be advised to do. First, they must be educated enough on nutrition so that they are capable of making good food decisions at all. That may lead to a degree of restriction by default since more knowledge will probably cause people to want to reduce their intake of “junk food” from where it was before, but I guess it doesn’t necessarily recommend restriction either; it lets people decide for themselves. Hmm. In any case, I’m out of time. Thanks for the response and keep it up with the interesting content.

i personally can’t eat intuitively because if it were up to me, i wouldn’t eat, because the meds im on suppress my appetite as a side effect. it makes it really hard to get what my body specifically needs. i’d be interested to know if there’s s way around that

Not to mention people with weight issues, health issues, or hormonal and metabolic issues who might actually need to restrict. I do have a decent understanding of nutrition and feel I can eat intuitively at this point, and in relation to my goals, but I agree that's it's not advisable without context. Even in her prior video she was doing things like low fat yogurt that she doesn't do now (and I personally wouldn't advise). People make worse decisions just as innocently but I guess maybe they're not her intended audience...?

Alexandre Andrejow huh?

Frank Tufano?

@@plantifulalexandra I don't remember his name. A "carnivore" made a video about abbey, talking shit about her, and he used this same old video as a basis for his criticism. The comment section was not pretty either. I think that by upload this video, Abbey nailed the answer.

Camille I could if I could find the time. Tbh it’s so much work for even one day and I need all the reinforcements to do it while maintaining modesty and privacy the way I shoot them So it’s a lot but I can try to do a day here and there more frequently

Abbey Sharp that makes sense! If you check out some of @emmymadeinjapan what I eat in a week videos she just uses photos (she is big on privacy for her family too!) but I could see where that might not match with your typical video style. Looking forward to whatever you do!

Rachel Levy ❤️

Omg yum

lovingthesoccerlife was just thinking the same 🤔 something doesn‘t add up there

They are separate figures. It's a percentage of the total calories, not a percentage of 100% so they can over lap.

Paige's Baking Adventures but the total calories for the day = 100% of the daily calories, and so all contributors to the 100% of daily calories should add up to 100% of the total calories aka total calories for the day surely?

I'm guessing it's the percent of her daily value calories, so she maybe ate more calories than were scheduled for that day in the app. Not sure though.

@@emcvirtues that's not how math works. 2300 kcals= 100%, so 37%= 851kcals, 35%=805kcals, 33%=759kcals. If you add 851+805+759=2415kcals which is 105% of 2300.

Tara Helou on it

totally! this is. where i was at then, and im here now. not perfect, but feel good!

@@AbbeysKitchen Glad your feeling in a good place!

@@AbbeysKitchen Also would you consider doing a reaction video to amberlyn Reid what she eats in a day? :)

Hannah Dandurand on it

Omg thank you I love savoury oatmeal but people look at me as if I'm crazy

ItzReesieCup soooo yum

I love making some oats with veggie broth and topping with a little pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast also!

Courtney Cornett that sounds so good! I will try these savory oats recipes. Because I get tired of sweet things sometimes

Yesssss!! I think Stevia would be better too, but a doctor once recommended diet beverages to a family member that was pre diabetic and those are mainly aspartame.

Stevia and look into monkfruit. It’s supposed to not spike your insulin like at all. Very low glycemic. But a warning if you buy any sweetener from the “In the raw” brand it’s mixed with regular sugar so be careful.

stella Hello, I work in a food flavoring company and we use sugar substitutes quite a bit. From what I’ve learned from my supervisor and a bit of research, neither is harmful. Aspartame is artificial, while stevia is natural. The thing is, stevia has a terrible aftertaste to some people, so it may be that your father prefers the taste of aspartame, and if he had to use stevia he would be tempted to go back to sugar or he’d be miserable. I’d ask him and see. I would also suggest trying other natural, non-caloric sweeteners. Someone mentioned monk fruit, also called luo han. That stuff is pretty good at adding sweetness, but it does have more of a candy taste like fructose, rather than a pure sugar taste. Thats fine but it just depends on preference. There’s also erythritol, which does have calories, so it might spike insulin slightly, but wayyy less than sugar would. 1 g of sugar has 4 calories, while 1 g or erythritol has 0.24! Ik calories don’t seem like a big concern but that’s how you’ll know how they affect blood sugar. Erythriol is less sweet than sugar tho, so you’d have to use about 2x the amount of sugar. I’d talk to a doctor and make sure it’s safe for a diabetic since it does have a few calories.

stella aspartame is not the best but be aware of stevia and how it can cause mental and muscle fatigue in some people (not very talked about)

stella my Ancient Father, who had diabetes, used aspartame for many, many years. He died four years ago aged 95. I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you. Good luck to dad. Xx

Lauren Pereira I think it’s not a bad option at all! Super affordable and the original “post workout shake”

K D I mean there was worse things lol

bisky yep! Saw it

Abbey Sharp did you have a chance to see the comments? they were so disgusting. that whole community is full of hate and rage. must be the lack of carbs 😝

@@draculena yes not eating carbs makes you grumpy.

oh wow, SO MUCH. great idea
