I notice my urge to eat a cookie. I acknowledge my urge to eat a cookie. I take a deep breath and pause to make a cup of tea...to go with my cookie. Mmm, cookies and tea.
That's the premise for a channel called diets are fattening. So simple, but I didn't know how to do that til I found that channel!! Its crazy😋 abby should review it! It has very few followers, but man its changed my life💕🎊
@@sjannadv it's a dangerous message she's sending, she puts sunscreen on like highlighter, my grandma who has skin cancer would be very annoyed to see that from someone who literally owns a skincare business, she clearly knows absolutely nothing because every one of her products are deemed useless without sunscreen because 90% of skin damage comes from the sun, nevermind the "clean and non-toxic, chemical free" you wanna go chemical free gwyneth? Let's see how well you do without water. Sorry for the rant, it just really annoys me because its clear she knows she's manipulating her fans/customers, she's just too money hungry.
IMO, the fact that so many people that practice intuitive eating (myself included) do so in recovery from disordered eating, actually makes the people pushing this book evil.
omg YES i didn’t think about it quite this way but especially for people who go back and forth between wanting food freedom but not wanting to give up dieting for good, this book is going to make them think they’re doing fine when they may be just as disordered as ever. IT’S A TRAP!
I wish Gwen would just admit she has ah eating disorder. Sounds like she doesn’t feel comfortable eating ANYTHING and it’s so sad. What’s even worse is that she makes money off of shit like this. I can’t imagine she isn’t miserable all the time
I'm more concerned for her kids.... She can do whatever tf she wants for herself (despite as unethical I believe it to be) but she's practicing these mindsets and habits in front of her children. That can do so much damage on a young, impressionable mind.
@@BubblyViolin11 I personally believe she's not even ... practicing these mindsets... she just knows what sells. I think when You have advisors around and people that do research on products and marketing and diet buzz, You can't be that oblivious..
She just recently admitted to drinking multiple alcoholic drinks a day, 7 days a week and gorging on bread and pasta. I guess the deprivation lead to binging like it always does.
*Rich American celeb* : "This sugar-free, carb-free, gluten-free, clean, low calorie food bites taste so good!" *Me (poor Italian young woman eating a shitload of linguine with my mom freshly made pesto)* : "Wanna bet it doesn't taste as good as this???"
You should do a video about sodium and salt!! I feel so confused about how it affects the body, how much salt there really is in food (feels like its more than we maybe think) and how much salt we should eat!
Love, sodium(Na) and calium(K) are two essential salts.Without them your muscles will not move and your brain will not function.We pee out a lot of salt.Salt deprivation is viewed as one of harshest human torture forms by WHO.So; you need salt, you are going to crave salts if you miss out on them.And you will die on salt free diet.Salt low diet is prescribed by your doctor, in very specific diagnostic conditions and it is limited to 3-4 weeks maximum, during which you are supervised.Do not try and adjusts your salts, you cannot micromanage your metabolism better then million years of evolition and your metabolism already does.
Please learn from me, I made the mistake of under consuming salt and over consuming water. If you’re eating a Whole Food diet and minimizing processed packaged food, you don’t need to avoid sodium! If you ARENT prone to heart disease/high blood pressure and eat a lot of veggies and fruits and grains, you don’t need to worry about restricting salt. I gave myself overhydration multiple times (hypoatremia - low blood salt) by following the “8 cups of water a day, eat less than 2,000 mg sodium per day”. I would love a video about salt because when I eat the salt guidelines, I feel sick and end up with problems like really low blood pressure.
Honestly, watching anyone with a scientific background calling her out is my fav pastime. Lolol. Dr. Dray did a similar vid reacting to Paltrow's vogue/HB's skincare vid.
@@bea2661 ah, I have a super quick recipe for muffins so I always bake my own when I want some XD Usually I'm disappointed with bought muffins/cupcakes. But I live in France so if we love our pastries and "croissants" we kind of suck to bake decent muffins... not to talk about cupcakes... somehow XD
Gwyn endorses diet plans, all while she can afford personal trainers and private chefs. She is the epitome of privilege. Also, watching this made me recognize my hunger, so instead of sipping tea, I'm going to go make tacos for dinner.
Omg, the BS mindfulness thing is exactly what I used to do when I was struggling with ED: a cup of tea or coffee, then just ignore my hunger and move on. Your series on intuitive eating is what saved me! Haven't had a relapse in over a year now and seeing this "mindfulness" popularized is so frustrating. Thank you for doing what you do!
Same. When I heard that I thought that that is the BS I used to believe. Like mental hunger means you aren't hungry. Em no, when you are not hungry you live life and don't need to spend it distracting yourself.
the cup of tea thing is sooooo bad, back when i was disordered & following tons of “fitspo” advice they’d always say to drink “metabolism boosting” tea when you were hungry. wild that diet culture adopted this concept from people who have lived in extreme poverty & have to drink warm liquids to try to quell hunger pains because they can’t afford food & have no other choice.
We fast for Ramadan (spiritual/religious reasons) and let me tell you I would NOT be doing it on random days just for body goals. It's tiring and I can't wait to return to eating regularly again..
Even going for 12 hours for a blood cholesterol test can be difficult. I actually wonder for tests like these, how do people like those who are diabetic or have other health conditions manage.
@@janetslater129 as someone who has been known to pass out if I don't eat regularly, I can tell you that it isn't easy. I have to schedule any lab work as early as possible so that I can sleep through most of the fasting window. I also carry a snack to scarf down as soon as it's over, and then I go out for breakfast. I also make sure that the doctor is aware of this issue so that he'll hopefully show up on time. If he doesn't make it within a reasonable time frame, I will leave and reschedule. Thankfully, my usual doctor is pretty good about all that, especially since I passed out in his office and smashed my face into the brick wall. There was a different cause that time, but the entire office still seems to keep a closer eye on me now
@@booksandtea1989 I tend to do more of the opposite….schedule my appointment for later so that I can eat later on into the evening, so I can also sleep in more during the morning. Of course, it helps to do this on a day that I am not working.
I feel like Abbey has gifted all of her followers with such strong bs detectors when it comes to wellness culture. Shout out to Abbey for empowering individuals everywhere with science and the power of eating intuitively ❤️
It actually dies all those things if you try it - reducing your insulin spikes reduces general hunger and you become satisfied with simple tastes and foods again. Up until recently fasting was considered a cure for a lot of things, because it forces your body to use all some its mineral reserves and 'cleans' it. Eating/digesting is stressful for the body, fasting gives it a break. Considering Abbeys health is absolutely tanking I don't think she should look down her nose quite so much
@@indy2316 she wasn’t reviewing fasting in general she’s reviewing this book which was a whole different thing. those claims she’s reading were not simply about the benefits of fasting. I think you’re conflating two different things. Abbys review was more nuanced than that. What she was talking issue with is not the concept of fasting but the way this book appropriates buzzwords like intuitive eating and mindfulness with a highly restrictive form of intermittent fasting that he made up himself. That’s a bad combination. Watch the review again she isn’t talking about fasting in general.
Abbey, the way you talk about food on your channel has helped me so much! A few years ago, I cut rice, pasta and bread out of my diet to avoid weight gain. But since coming across your videos, I’ve reintroduced these foods back into my “diet” and now I actually get satiated and feel more energized. Thank you❤️❤️❤️
@@AbbeysKitchen it wasn't, i actually really like to watch your videos bc they remind me of what is healthy eating and what is disordered eating behavior and that helps me not slip back into it
Thank you so much for debunking all of this bullshit. I’ve struggled with ED for years and l finally am in a good place. Your videos are great reinforcement. When l find myself getting anxious about an “unhealthy” meal (I know l know) l hear your voice suggest “upping the veg” and then l feel a lot better emotionally and physically, because l eat what I’m craving but also make sure I’m getting nutritional balance and fiber
Me: Gets home from work, checks YT for Abbey’s newest video, sees a title that includes “Gwyneth Paltrow” and “intuitive fasting”, grabs a snack and gets comfy because there’s no way this won’t be good.🍿🤩
As someone with adhd, I have been reading into how it can be extremely difficult to eat mindfully, since our brains crave constant stimulation and we see food as that stimulation even when we aren’t hungry. Do you have any thoughts on how to eat mindfully for people with adhd and other learning disabilities?? Love your videos !
I know this is a bit late, but my psychologist suggested that I set an alarm during the day to eat lunch since that's the meal I usually forget (which makes me real hangry and bingey by about 5ish when the meds wear off). She said not to force feed myself but even just to make some eggs since they're easy and maybe a piece of fruit (it's still not much, but it's better than nothing). And then at night when the meds wear off and I'm ravenous and can't tell when I'm full, I try to make a point of eating something that's quick and easy with lots of veggies. My go to is chicken or beef stir fry or salmon with frozen veggies so I don't have to chop anything. Then if I want more food afterwards that's fine because at least I know I've had some nutritious food. That's been working OK for me but obviously you have to learn what works for you. It's not the same as intuitive eating, but it's as close as I can get it because I cannot tell the difference between hungry and bored and tired. Just adhd things I guess. I hope some of this was even a little bit useful and not just random crap from a stranger haha But of course we should see what Abbey says too
I’d love that! Took one a year ago and cut out two things I’m intolerant to. I feel so much better. I have a lot of questions though and I’ve heard that many tests are not always accurate. Would love to hear Abbey’s thoughts.
I grew up with an Almond mom who always weighed me religiously until late into my adult years when I finally said nooo when I had a beautiful daughter of my own. I've survived anorexia twice and orthorexia several times and to date I still struggle with feeling normal about food. I still do things my mom taught me like the brush your teeth trick you mentioned to avoid or deter myself from eating. It's literally an every day Hell for me. Your show has helped me sooo much with working towards not being triggered by fear foods. I still eat clean I'm a Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian life long but I'm getting better thanks to watching you regularly I no longer food journal or calorie count witch is huge for me and once a month I have what I would have always considered a fear food this month I had cheese pizza! For me that's great! I'm getting better everyday thank you for your content and education about diet culture. You make a big difference for a lot of people! Thanks Abbey!
Y'all see gweneth recently admit to drinking multiple drinks a day, 7 days a week and gorging on pasta and bread? I guess her extremely limited diet did exactly what we all expected
You’re videos are like a warm hug while also being entertaining. I can eat what I want without guilt and also learn new things and feel like it’s ok to eat when and how much I want !! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I too have lost 69 lbs by using Dr. Montignac diet. I recommend 100%. Obviously, one would need some sort of discipline in order to achieve any goals in life... Lots of love from Canada 😁
Yeah, I get shaky and start to feel bad if I go longer than eight hours without eating during the day. Some people can fast for that long on occasion, I guess, but it really isn't a good idea for a lot of people.
I'm fasting 20 hrs per day for Ramadhan (dry fasting), still working full time and doing all the housework, going on walks etc. Not too hard when you get used to it...
My friend sent me the link to this video telling me she is going to order Dr Will Cole’s book. I watched your video I called her and said “Abbey does not advocate this diet at all” She said she didn’t get that from your video her words “why was she doing all the funny gifs and jokes then! It’s not that serious” 🤦🏽♀️
As a person with a teenage past of anorexia and binging, I really appreciate how Abbey is always non-judgemental and advises her audience for the upcoming triggers. I really think Doctor like him or GP that keep on promoting horrible and unhealthy eating habits that if followed would make anyone sick or spiral into eating disorders should be called out more and even get censored/flagged just like a lot of social media have been doing 'fact checking' for COVID or US elections.
I had a tough day today and was really in need of a good chuckle. This vid did the job. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, even though it must have burned your brain 😂😂. You have been I instrumental in helping me improve my relationship with myself and food. The people publishing the rubbish really shouldn't. Thank you for the laughs 😘💐
Great one! I once read a similar book when I was young- I think it was just called "The Clean Program" and I just ate up every word of it. I tried it and felt SOOO bad. I mean, it was insane..drinking two of your meals and eating one huge meal for lunch. It was so bizarre and I felt like CRAP. My husband thank goodness convinced me to stop within a few days as he saw me struggling so badly with it. Im so grateful for your videos to remind me that we don't have to do anything crazy to eat healthy. I am currently trying to recover from binge eating disorder and your videos help me with that so thank you!
Everything Gwyneth Paltrow endorses should have a HAZMAT label on it. You know those WHMIS (workplace hazardous material information system) symbols? something like that.
I tried intermittent fasting for the heck of it to see if it did anything for me. I made it 36 hours at one point but I’d never go past that. And there’s no eating disorder I’m battling. I was doing keto and IF out of curiosity because I’m a health nerd. But I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who is in a bad relationship or place with food.
Thank you for this. These kinds of commentaries help me nourish heathy thoughts and calm the ED voice in my brain who tells me all of these restrictive habits are good for my health and the only option for happiness.
Thank you Abbey, for shining a light on this insanity! This is the most restrictive diet I have ever seen. He is basically telling people to eat only four days a week. Crazy!
Yooo his “mindfulness” is how I was in college, I would constantly recognize my hunger and make myself feel that it was a “good” feeling. For me it wasn’t as much disordered eating but a way to make it easier to get drunk 🥴 made sense at the time 😂
I'm so grateful to have learned to listen to my hunger cues!!! The human body is a genius machine. Getting my 2nd morning snack as we speak. Abbey you are the best!
Hearing you talk about cholesterol made me think of this-could you do a video on what everything on the nutrition panel ACTUALLY means for your body? Specifically thinking about sodium intake, cholesterol, saturated and trans fat, etc? I feel like there’s not a lot of education about these things that are accessible in layman’s terms 😂 or if you’ve already done something like this, can you direct me to it??
Autophagy is what he would be talking about. I fast 16 to 18 everydayI don’t even notice, I just don’t eat a few hours before bed, then I eat after my workout in the morning, which also increases autophagy. I’m never hungry first thing in the morning. 🤷♀️.
I lost 20lbs in 2 months on this diet and I feel amazing. My inflammation is gone, I don’t have to pee constantly, my shirts aren’t stained with sweat, I have level energy instead of constantly crashing, I’m sleeping well, my digestion has improved…I could go on…
The worst thing for me is that she was posting it and promoting it during a time that’s reserved for eating disorder awareness. I know from a couple weeks ago when this was going down me and a bunch of other ED recovery folk were going hard in her comments on Instagram.
Okay, I do understand the mindfulness part to the extent of preventing emotional eating. A lot of people don’t know the difference between true hunger and emotional hunger or boredom hunger, etc. I mean I had an ED and I often binged because of emotional triggers, so maybe it’s not such a bad idea that when you think you’re hungry, you think about it for a bit and try to pin point whether you’re truly hungry for that thing or if you’re truly hungry at all.
I tried keto diet a day and a half. I gave it up when I became confident that I would die if I didn't get some carbs soon. I can't imagine doing this ridiculous plan.
Thank you so much for these videos. I keep wanting to start restricting again and go back to old patterns, but everytime I see your videos I'm reminded it's really not the solution and I have been feeling a lot better overall since I started eating more varied food, listening to my hunger and adding instead of cutting things.
Oh man. I saw that she got into this after gaining weight due to long haul covid symptoms. Honestly, it made me sad that her response to a newly sluggish metabolism was this extreme measure. What if that weight gain was just the result of her body protecting and caring from her in some way? Why does the result of our bodies doing their best to take care of us have to be punished so harshly?
This one sounds like one of the worst of the latest diet fads... a terrible combination :/ also, as a Chilean, I am personally offended at any diet that restricts legumes, I will probably die if I cannot eat lentil stew haha. The only reason the 14 hour "fast" has worked for me is because it helps me not get reflux at night if I stop eating by 7 pm and since I am working from home atm I usually don't get out of my bed until 9 am lol
Great video Abbey! There should be more channels like yours, where people can get sooo much information for those kind of "healthy" diets. I ❤️ your content!
So, I've been doing something I've called intuitive fasting which is where I eat whatever I want when I want to eat and have a fasting period where I don't need anything but I like to change the length of the fast based on how I feel. So I might fast one day from 9:00 p.m. to noon on day and then from 7:00 p.m. to 11 in the morning, something like that where it's not the same time or the same length of time every day. Basically it's just me being super busy in the morning and not snacking at night after dinner. I eat when I slow down enough to realize I'm hungry. But yeah the idea of calling something intuitive and restricting so much is crazy.
I feel so good on this program. I was able to move into a healthy food mindset and I watched my body transform too. Choose the things that work for you, leave the things that don’t. I am 6 months in and still loving it.
“The sooner I finish this, the sooner I get to go home for a cocktail” UHM. Don’t tell me that’s not your actual kitchen😩 I don’t think I’ll ever recover.
speaking of metabolic... I would love to hear more about all these metabolic diet/workout programs that keep popping up as ads everywhere. Using "metabolic confusion" and all that stuff. (Programs like Vshred for example)
it’s so easy to get sucked into marketing like this for some people and i’m so glad i can count on you to ground us back to reality!! id love to hear your thought on the fuck it diet! i’m reading the book now 🙂
Could you please do a video on your meal component prep? Like how to prep different vegetables, which foods to prep and maybe ideas how to put it together as meals? I find it so difficult to get into a good routine with food (shopping & cooking every single day is such a task 😅)
I definitely can't do shopping everyday. We usually make a list of dinners for the week, shop once, and decide which one to eat day by day. If I can't come up with a whole week, I'll get some of our most used veggies, and see what's in the freezer. I'd be interested to see her go-to's - always looking for new ideas.
Okay, soooo...his definition of mindfulness in relation to his BS diet is quite literally the shit I would read on pro-ana websites when I was in the throws of anorexia. WTF! Edit - Both Cole and Paltrow need to be cancelled.
Thank you Abbey, your videos help me all the time from slipping back into restrictive eating. Like many others have said in the comments, this is exactly the crap I told myself when I had an ED. This kind of thing is so damaging.
I'm so happy you made this video. Without all the info you provided, I'd be one of the people who would blindly follow this guy's diet tips. I have to admit it was a shock hearing this. I'd keep drinking water or brush my teeth without even considering having a meal or a healthy snack. Thank you ♥️
Thank you Abbey. I heard all those "rules" growing up: ignore your hunger; be disciplined; drink water if you are hungry; (Weight Watchers says this a lot and implies that we don't know the difference between hungry and thirsty); don't eat ANY of the foods on "the list", whatever that specific diet says the list is; my favourite two: brush your teeth, and chew sugarless gum! So hard to lose weight in my teens doing this. And no words about exercise, not even walking. And then came Jane Fonda, and her tights and leg warmers that we all wanted in the '70s. Even Jane admits she smoked and exercised obsessively to stay thin. It was hard to watch this, but also good. So thank you. My current ON dietician recommended by my GP says 1400 cal is ok with 60 grams of carbs per day. So hard to do, so I thanked her and do what I can. If you can look at the Mayo Clinic Diet, that would be great.
i was wondering if it was possible if you could do a video on hypothyroidism and explain like which to and not to eat, how to avoid weight gain, to lose weight....
After years of yo-yo diets/disordered eating your channel has helped so much. As far as this book.... if I didn’t eat carbs again I think I’d actually collapse 😂
I just recently came across your channel and my goodness I am just soaking it all in. This was brilliant. You have an incredible way of making such controversial and triggering topics so relatable and hilarious. You are brave and bold and I just love it. Thank you for all you do. I imagine it isn't easy so from me, it is truly appreciated!
