Dietitian Reacts to Everything Ian Somerhalder Eats in a Day (PS: This Gets Pretty Weird)

[@DaniAnn]

Thank you so much for reviewing a male with a super crazy diet. It feels like only women get critiqued for “disordered eating” and men are just “optimizing” their health and diet.

Non-stick cookware has only been linked to causing cancer... IN PRODUCTION. Where workers were spraying the stuff on pans in open rooms, without ventilation, or PPE. Which... like, yah, duh, that's not a safe way to handle it. And sure, if Ian wants to not use non-stick because he's concerned about working conditions overseas, great. But that's not why he said that and that's not why he doesn't use non-stick. However, if you are concerned about the workers health, look for non-stick pans made in first world countries, or countries with specifically strong workers rights, occupational health and safety agencies and the like, such as Canada, America, Germany, France.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Thank you for the information!

[@sophielorber4571]

PTFE non stick pans actually get dangerous very quickly. Once they are heated up to more than 360°C/680°F chemicals are set free which can cause immediate dizzyness and sickness. It's especially dangerous for pets, thousands of birds which were sitting in a cache in the kitchen have died of it already.

About the maple syrup: My parents made birch syrup growing up. Birch syrup is made with the same process of maple syrup, from Birch trees growing in Western Canada. It's a savoury syrup, but the process is identical; my dad used the same equipment; the only difference is how long you harvest. Guys, harvesting sap DOES NOT HURT THE TREES. My parents would use the exact same trees, year after year, and they're fine. They're still there and growing, and farmers know when to stop tapping (they need healthy trees to make good syrup, my dad would dump sap that was "cloudy", which doesn't happen often but it does happen, and then he would stop using that tree). My dad compared it to a person going to give blood once a year. So eat as much maple syrup as you want without feeling guilty. Putting maple syrup on your pancakes from a glass bottle and a local farmer is more sustainable than eating that weird Aunt Jemima stuff that's pure corn syrup out of a plastic bottle and a big corporation (us Canadians have been waging war on Aunt J for centuries, anyway, so support the Canadians, we're nice). The whole sap/water vs syrup thing is an argument that's only touted by people who know nothing of trees or the process. EDIT: I should clarify, it would hurt the trees if you hooked up about 10-15 buckets from each tree, rather than one, which is standard, so no, the way syrup is harvested now is not hurting the trees! Edit #2; in the video he talks about the energy used to make maple syrup, but I'm not quite sure what he means by that? Most maple/birch syrup farmers as I'm aware use wood burning, but considering the amount of wood we chop down anyway I sincerely doubt that has a huge impact. If they use electric (again, I don't know of any that do or even if they make evaporators, the big machines that make the syrup, that run on electric) how is that any different from the millions of restaurants and households that use their stoves and ovens every single day? I was more breaking down the argument that 'maple syrup hurts the trees' that I've heard before. Side note: Never thought I'd be putting all of my syrup making knowledge that my dad hammered into my head so much on the internet but HERE WE ARE.

[@Psychwriteify]

I want to know more about this birch syrup.

[@angelinakim8913]

Didn't even consider the trees when he said that, only thought about the energy needed in the boiling process... I hope that's what he was talking about 😂

[@moretyquira]

@@angelinakim8913 in the video he talks specifically about the sap, which is kind of like the trees' "blood"; and in terms of energy a lot of farmers use wood-burning which is what the evaporator uses (it's the machine that boils the syrup); even people who use electrical/gas stoves, that's nothing in comparison to all the cooking that's done in restaurants, homes, etc, every day. Edit: nevermind i went back to check, and yeah, he talks about the energy. But again, a dumb argument that clearly shows he doesn't know anything about the process. Like, again, restaurants exist.

[@moretyquira]

@@Psychwriteify it's not a pancake syrup and should be used sparingly, haha. Kind of a burnt caramel, molasses taste. Really good on vanilla ice cream, but can be used for cooking in stirfrys or in marinades. My parents don't make it anymore but there are a lot of Canadian companies that still make it. :)

@@moretyquira This is intriguing and might become a covid impulse purchase if it can be shipped to me. I'm guessing based your description that it's very different from birch beer?

Look I do love fish with some vegetables/salad but at 8am???? GAG. And then again, and again, and again during the day...... I think I won't be able to eat fish for a few days just from watching this video...

I eat fish (mostly salmon) for breakfast along with sautéed vegetables and a runny fried egg prob once a week or so (on the weekends). It has a nice amount of fat and protein and is really savory and delicious. BUT I don’t have a baby to care for and enjoy cooking! I bet he has someone who comes over and cooks from time to time so he just reheats it? A lot of celebrities have services like that.

Stefan, "I'm freaking hungry!" was hilarious!! 😅 This guy had a hyperbaric chamber, maybe still does, I'm not surprised about his diet. 😅

did this dude just eat three breakfasts wtf

[@harveythepooka]

He's probably getting a lot of this food delivered and he just heats it up, except for maybe dinner. No one has time to cook and clean up all this stuff and I can't even imagine how much it costs. He's probably spending $5 a day on bone broth alone.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

It's definitely costly

I just want to say Abby, I so appreciate your trigger warnings at the beginnings of your videos and making sure people don't feel guilty if they need to sit one of your videos out. I'm trying to improve on my still pretty active ED and a lot of your videos help me to learn more about healthy relationships with food, but at the same time sometimes it's just better to skip it and add it to my "watch later" so I can tackle it on a day I'm feeling better. 💟💟💟 Sending out love to everybody!

My boyfriend is a chemist who specifically researches PFOAS and derivatives. Overall they’re harmful for the environment and we don’t fully know the health risks. In addition they can’t be broken down easily if at all using natural processes so they collect in the environment including drinking water. So using these sorts of products isn’t just cooking with them it’s all of the environmental impacts as well. Also a lot of companies will tout they don’t use PFOAS with their products but that’s a tricky way to say that they’re using PFOA derivatives that are very close in chemical makeup to PFOAS and also not as well understood. Anyways thought I would share!

[@selenehawke1523]

This is exhausting.... I got the elitist vibe when he made a whole IG Post about how eating healthy is just not that hard and that’s why everyone is so sick these days. We get it Ian you have privilege.

Thank you for this!! I was so confused when I saw Ian's video... like, it sounded pretty healthy, but strange, almost like a parody like you said haha. And if you see the comment section, everyone (included myself) was amazed with all the "information" he was applying and how "perfect" his diet was, which can set dangerous expectations as someone just commented. Thankfully you brought light to the matter. Love your content :).

I consume a lot of lemon juice, I use it the way others would use salt or ketchup because I have weird taste buds that like everything to taste super sour.

I want to point out… if you have birds, using Teflon coated cookware at any temperature is toxic to them. I also don’t want Teflon in my food so I’ve I’m going to sear something at 400+, I’m going to use cast iron or stainless steel. Better safe than sorry.

[@katinka5397]

Here in the Netherlands, non-stick pans are a hot item in the news because of the toxic chemicals that get released when the non-stick layer gets scratched or damaged in any way. A non-stick pan may claim that it's PFAS-free, but that only takes in consideration the most well known of those chemicals I believe? I don't know the details or anything but that's what I've heard on very high established news programmes and such..
