[@linden5165]

I see a lot of people supporting and saying to seek help if you need to. I agree. I'll also add - you are allowed to be sad, to be stressed, to struggle. It doesn't matter who we are, what we have, what is good in our lives - if we're struggling then we are struggling. That deserves compassion and support. It's not something to apologise for, suppress, positive mindset away and it's not a moral failing. It's being human. As Edith Eger says, there is no hierarchy of suffering. There's nothing about what others experience that makes our pain more or less. If we hurt, we hurt and it deserves validation and nurturing, time and space. It's OK to not be OK and to get support with that.

Beautiful💜

[@mal1090]

I’ve been watching you for years and years and years and my all time favorite videos of yours are the Easter egg, the chicken patties, Russian beef, shrimp and grain/spinach and the egg and hot dog and the Russian food videos! There’s something about the lo-fi quality and hearing all the cooking sounds that are just amazing! So if you ever need video ideas, I would love more cooking videos where we see the whole process and less edited, just like your old videos 🥰

[@JennerationOfGrace]

As a daughter who grew up with a mom who struggled with eating, I just want to tell you it had a huge, negative effect on me. I know you know and are very conscious of your daughter and raising her, so I know you already understand. Just as long as she really fully understands the health reasons behind your fasts and that it's best for an adult body instead of kids or teens. It's really hard to watch your role model never eat. Messes with your mind.

[@therealJamieJoy]

It can cause a lifetime of eating disorders. It is one of the main emotional sources for eating disorders: a parent with an eating disorder or disordered behavior.

[@linden5165]

Fasting is how my anorexia started. I also had role models normalise it. I'm so wary of any restriction now. It's hard to change thinking back once it becomes disordered, it's taken me years. I used to tell myself it wasn't about weight and it was for health and spirituality. It was about weight, I was lying to myself. But under that really it was about anxiety and control and having one way in life I could be enough and gain acceptance. Hunger can come with a giddy and elated feeling because of survival mechanisms trying to help us have the energy to find food. Just because it feels good doesn't mean it is. A lot of disordered stuff around bodies and eating is normalised, promoted, monetised. (This is just my experience not a comment on anyone else's but I do hope others are careful).

[@therealJamieJoy]

All it takes is for one person whom the ED person trusts to say, "I did this restriction and lost weight." They can dive in hard and never come back again. Disordered minds are always looking for a reason to do the disorder. Like a drug user or an alcoholic, just waiting for someone to say, "It's ok, just do it a little bit." @@linden5165

[@JennerationOfGrace]

@broadbandreworkbymorgang.2359 I'm really proud of you for working through your personal relationship with food. Breaking these generational habits is SO SO hard, and even one step away from the disordered relationship with food is AMAZING. It's been really difficult for me too, I completely understand.

[@amberp1661]

She literally said it was for Health reasons. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@HayleyChit]

Good for you for trying something new with the longer intermittent fasting! 👏 I don't want to discourage you in the slightest, but my first thought when you mentioned doing a 24 hour span was, "Woah, my emotions couldn't handle that." Just something I've noticed for myself in the past. The lack of calories could be part of the reason you were feeling down by the end of the day. Again, keep doing your thing though! I just thought you might want to know others have the same experience; I always feel better when I can at least pinpoint why my emotions are fluctuating, even if I can't change it. Good luck💞

[@Loolaarosalie]

Girl, please be safe with your health ❤

[@crantram]

Hi sweet one. You're doing great. I'm going to say to you what I would say to any dear friend. Mental health is health. If you need more support with it, doctors can help. Also, I love watching your bts. It's so generous of you to share how you do what you do. I'm sure other creators out there really appreciate it.

[@therealJamieJoy]

I agree. The videos have been reaching out from Maria. I only want the very best and with sincere concern I hope Maria reads this and understands she should just get advice from a doctor. And actual MD who can assess her.

[@Vanjuska0212]

I have been you follower for many years. Ive been worried for you for the last year or so because I feel you re struggling with mental health but dont seem to look for approapriate help. I just want to send you love and say that being worried and constantly trying to fix the exterior wont change how you feel inside. Unresolved internal struggles lead to obsessing over wrong things or say less important. Mind yourself Maria please. You ll drive yourself sick. You havent lost fat,you lost water,nutrients, you re not bloated since you stomach is empty so you feel lighter and you re losing muscle mass. It will leave you physically and mentally drained and you ll put it all back in no time. I miss the videos you used to post couple of years back, topics you would cover such as coloring, chats, nails polishing, including Darryl, talking about things that didnt include only body, weight and aging worries. Im sorry Maria. I just feel for you and wish you good.

[@analorena999]

amazing comment ❤️

[@sodiumcyanidee]

I really agree with this comment hard. I worry for Maria, and I also miss the low key girly videos.

[@MBlto]

i'm just imagining maria reading all these backhanded comments and yes i feel bad for her because all of you seem to be doctors and psychologists and just overall experts of her life? she's a real human being who grows and changes just like everyone. Society puts so much pressure into women, i'm sure reminding her she used to be and act different isn't the kind move you think it is. why not just accept and support every side of her? she seems to have a lot to handle right now, let's not pressure her as well, god.

[@Vanjuska0212]

@@MBlto nobody is pressuring her as such. Ive just shared my opinion in a gentle frank way. She puts content out here so we can interact. Whatever she does is her own choice but it is in human nature to revert on things and offer advice. Personally, im close to her age, i am psychologist, social worker and an english teacher. Also im actively in fitness industry and as a woman i do know 2 or 3 things about life. No harm done.

[@haleyb1946]

Hey Maria. Love you and your videos, and I’ve been watching for years. You’re a great mom and I know you’d do anything for your daughter. My mom was the same, but I do wanna echo was others in this comments section have said about the body image and fasting stuff. Growing up, my parents and especially my mom, talked about dieting, worried about my weight and theirs excessively, and in the case of my father, participated in and extolled the virtues of fasting. I didn’t understand that this wasn’t safe for my body as a child, I just saw it as a way my parents approved of to lose weight quickly, which turned into binging and purging, and the cycle continued for close to a decade of my life. My other siblings likewise have struggled with food issues as well. It’s so important I think to model healthy and safe eating habits, and to teach them that self love. And to show that same patience and love to yourself. It’s very hard to watch your caregivers not eat and develop a healthy relationship to food. I hope you take this in the spirit it’s given. Wishing you and your family the best ❤

[@nikki9127]

Maria I love watching your videos so much! Be careful with the fasting! It decreases gallbladder movement which causes the bile to become over concentrated and puts you at a higher risk of forming gallstones. I had my gallbladder removed last year. ❤️

[@zoeb6303]

Hey Maria! I have been watching you for the last 8 years every night to fall asleep, you are so amazing!! I just want you to be aware that fasting can have really big effects on mood because of the drop in blood sugar, (google starvation syndrome) For me I can’t control my emotions at all when I am hungry and there is science that agrees! So much love and hope you find some balance and peace ❤️❤️❤️

[@INTJ91]

Omg me too. When I’m hungry I am absolutely out of control. My body tells me IMMEDIATELY when I need to eat and I try to listen to that.

[@apatchofblue69]

Yes this!

[@estellesstories7467]

[@lindseylollygag]

Love seeing behind the scenes! Very cool to see your process. I always get stressed and overwhelmed right before a big trip so I understand the feeling, but I hope you know that as much as we all love a new video, the older ones would hold us over if you ever needed to take a break or take your time ❤ I hope you have the best trip!!

[@BuriedTeeth]

Be careful, intermitent fasting is not good for everyone. If you have any sort of malabsorption health condition, be cautious...i have EDS and POTS and i fainted when i tried. When i told my doctor, she was scandalized and asked "Why would you do that?!?!" Do your research. It can very easily turn into an eating disorder too. But for those that it helps, more power to you 💪

[@nancycy9039]

What are EDS and POTS?

[@sleepopeepo]

@@nancycy9039 EDS is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder. POTS is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, which causes racing heart and dizziness/fainting when you move from sitting to standing (or stand for a long time)

[@meghanmajor1586]

When I tried fasting I had super low energy, short tempered, full of anxiety, and felt faint too. Wasn’t for me either, but seems to make Maria happy. Best of luck Maria and safe travels! ❤

[@calstar258]

I’ve watched the cooking/talk while you sleep video 5 times already. Your hard work and dedication is such a gift to us. Please take care of yourself and rest. You deserve it

[@analorena999]

to be perfectly honest, intermittent fasting only “helps” the eating disorder, not the body and specially not the mind. to those who believe it helps, I’m sorry but please seek professional help, both from a serious nutritionist and from a mental health professional. it may give a momentary “reward”, like you get impressed at what you “accomplished”, but this just proves you can do anything you want if you just put your mind into it - including eating better, exercise, or yes just being happy with your body (which I think, it is the hardest thing). also, just mentioning that it was hard to keep the fasting diet while traveling proves it is something that does not fit with our lives, our pleasures, our human needs. any food and health plan should not affect your wellbeing, quite the opposite actually, it should improve it! I’m sad to see Maria struggling with this, specially with a little daughter, it can set up an unhealthy example, and also to the viewers. Maria, please keep in mind you have a huge following and you can and do influence many people including young girls. I speak from a place of love, but I know the life-long struggle that it is to deal with eating disorder myself. it does take a long time to understand ourselves and it is painful, but it’s way better than to harm yourself - and yes, some “diets” are self-harming. our body needs food as it is energy and vitality. take a look at how many of us here are saying that it’s not healthy and we worry about you. it is scientifically proven, please do your research with serious professionals. I remember in some videos Maria mentioning she didn’t felt comfortable in therapy or with a psychologist so she leaned into spirituality, which is fine, myself and many peolple are very spiritual and follow our faith but there are some issues or some moment in life that we need a psyche specialist to talk to, to help us. all of us. our society is messed up as it is, it’s hard to remain sane. but anyway, we care so much about you, Maria. please take care! ❤ ps: unsolicited marketing expert opinion but self-proclaiming fasting while having a food brand sponsor may not be the best idea.

[@ahcaroles]

Hi, Masha. How are you feeling today? I hope you're better and that the traveling went well. I've been worried about you lately, it's hard knowing someone you like so much is somehow suffering and we can't do anything about it. Please, consider asking for professional help if you really need it, there's no shame in it! I am living proof that the right doctor and medicines can do wonders for your mental health. Btw, this was a lovely video as always, thanks for sharing!

[@therealJamieJoy]

I agree, sincerely concerned. Maria, we love you and wish you the best.

[@sarahpearce94]

You’re allowed to be grateful and at the same time feel overwhelmed and tired. You’re doing amazing! ❤

[@sodiumcyanidee]

For those of you saying there's nothing wrong with IF fasting: I am Muslim and we fast for Ramadan every year. Fasting can be very healthy for you if you do it for short periods of time. Obviously we don't fast for body image or things like that. However, fasting long term and for 24 hours is pretty extreme. It's no different than any other binged eating, and it isn't sustainable. You'll feel lighter and look better (2lbs a day..really?!) But it's because your body is slowly atrophying. Unless you eat your 2400 calories in one sitting, there's no way your body can keep up with your day to day tasks. I've noticed over the years Maria has been really emphasizing body image with the weight loss, skin products, wanting Botox, etc. I worry about her a lot.

[@amberp1661]

She literally said it was for a health issue. Stop speaking before understanding

I went there too. It's hard to come back from. I'll never restrict again. It's not worth it. I prefer having a bigger body and joy and groundedness.

[@oliviagstory]

María, I love you and as many others on this comment section am speaking from a place of genuine care and concern. But not eating for 24 hours isn’t intermittent fasting, it’s starving yourself. If you are struggling with your mental health, please seek help. There’s no shame in seeking professional help when it’s simply too much. I tried to battle my anxiety disorder on my own for years until I was so exhausted and far removed from my true self that I just had to be honest with myself. Once I started taking the right medication and practicing not only self care, but SOUL care, the difference was crazy. I’m thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better.

[@sleepopeepo]

Oh dear, it's a little worrying to hear that you're losing 2 pounds a day! One or two pounds a week is a good goal for weight loss, but more than that can be dangerous. Even when fasting or dieting, it's important to still eat enough to sustain your brain and body

[@lono9416]

2 pounds a day is normal for a fast, usually 1 pound of water loss, 1 pound of fat. After all that is what fat is for! For those who water fast for longer periods, 2 pounds a day is normal for up to a week, then it's 1 pound a day until around day 15, then it slows down. As long as the person is in good health and has that amount of excess fat on their body it is perfectly healthy. The only thing that is actually dangerous is refeeding syndrome after 5 days. She is perfectly fine and safe as long as she is in good health to fast for as long as she is fasting 😊

[@kayla1588]

Losing a lot of weight very fast in the first week or so is normal for diets. This rapid loss is not fat. Its water weight. Once the water weight is lost, the weight loss slows down. When I first went on my diet, I lost 7 lbs in 1 week. Then it slowed down and averaged to 1 -1.5 lbs lost per week.

[@therealJamieJoy]

If a doctor agrees, then it is ok. It is required to have a health check before doing any kind of dieting, especially extreme dieting. What's worse is if one does not continue to do the same habits (for life) the weight WILL come back and it will be harder and harder to lose each time. Please always consult a doctor.@@lono9416 I say this with care and concern and no judgement.

[@BuriedTeeth]

@@lono9416 water fast? What is that? You fast from drinking water? Is that healthy?

[@grythely]

hey maria! i hope this is not overstepping, but speaking out of real affection and concern - i'd strongly recommend speaking to both a nutritionist and a therapist who has experience working with clients on eating habits before dramatically reducing your caloric intake. i've had loved ones get seriously physically and emotionally ill starting with eating habits like the ones you're describing, and it's heartbreaking. one of the most devastating experiences of my life was watching this happen to my sister. i would really hate to see you suffer in a similar way, especially given how interested you are in taking care of your body and mind. it's so normalized, but crash dieting can be extremely dangerous. please be cautious and speak to a specialized doctor so you can protect yourself. society wants women to believe that losing weight is positive no matter what. we have to be so proactive to make sure what we're doing is truly good for our bodies and spirits. sending lots of love.

I don't usually suggest a subject in the comments, but : Do you think you could one day make a kind of "Clap compilation" from your videos, as a 'trigger' in its own right? Seeing you so focused was very relaxing! You've also brought back memories of my childhood and teenage years, when my family had a tradition of fasting one day a month and giving the money from the meal to charity. We only did this if we wanted to, and it started with just one meal when we were young. It was a beautiful moment of humility and charity, and I think I might take up the habit again...

Nice video. Your videos are always good. I look at other people's videos when I have free time, but I always make free time for your videos. Also, there are times in life when everything is too much. I understand you. I hope everything's okay. You look gorgeous, by the way.🌺

Going to Russia with Mila...it's so tender! Will it be her first time? I'm sure your family will be over excited to have you there! Enjoy every second!

[@sasha-stone]

Wishing you safe travels Maria!

[@APspring]

I hope you’re ok Maria ❤

[@DanKonev]

В смысле: "Не смотрите на тело". Шикарное тело! Я несколько лет тебя "смотрю" с закрытыми глазами, так хоть сейчас посмотрю!😊

Your mood will drop seriously low when hungry and starved. That’s not healthy. Please don’t starve yourself.

[@lorenracicot7814]

Yayyy I hope there are more videos with Olga while you're in Russia!

[@lavoixdevelours]

I hope you're feeling better, Maria. ♥ How exciting for Mila with her trip!

[@acsentu8]

Maria, you be you! Most of us like the heartsy chit chat. Plus it makes you feel like you're venting and that's a good thing. Ignore the negative comments. You be you!

Маша, я горжусь тобой из нашего общего города. Ты покорила далёкую страну, вышла замуж за Моби (ну типа), не унываешь по жизни. Ты пример для подражания! God bless you all!

[@melissalynn6141]

You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful woman's body, Maria! I just love how down to earth and humble you are❤

[@kim_2014]

Omg yessss I'm excited I've missed your asmr cooking videos. ❤❤❤

[@Alexandrovna22]

I love how her normal voice cracks constantly haha

[@theen88]

Im worried about her

[@animallover6831]

Don't forget to take care of yourself too. 🐞🍀🌈

[@PermanentSquint]

Very cool setup and I love the lighting !

[@INTJ91]

Also you look awesome. Stop listening to that critical voice in your head. From my view you do not need to lose weight. Be happy and healthy and enjoy your food. You’re only here once.

[@defaultuser1447]

I always enjoy your cooking videos.
