Nothing wrong with it but I wouldn't consider it even a serve of fruit! Though it's ok because every day doesn't have to be balanced, maybe on another day this person may eat 7 fruits so you can't judge from one day. Personally I think that's just not enough food for me, but if this person gets full very fast it might be hard to fit a lot of different foods in, so I understand the lack of fruits.

tbh body checks are fine u cant just be rude or say shit bc somebody body checked. i also check my body when im on a diet like- its part of the damn diet

[@michelleheadley2911]

Deli meats that contain Phosphates and Phosphorus as a preservative has a correlation in kidney failure. It’s not bad. But it’s not great. And definitely not something to eat daily. Especially considering the sodium content in a 2 oz serving size. The average American consumes upwards of 3,000 milligrams of sodium per day. And if you don’t have low blood pressure you’ll want to keep it in range of 1,000-2,000 mg per day. Our kidneys can only handle so much salt.

[@megzzk8072]

Hi Abbey, downloaded your hunger crushing combo e-book and it’s great! Do you have advice for ND individuals who also struggle with ED’s and aren’t the best at recognizing portion size (a healthy portion feels HUGE for me and I can’t finish it all in one sitting) and may have sensory/ texture restrictions? This may be a more personalized question but I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’re willing/ able

[@Lamo645]

Hi! I’m also ND and struggle a lot with nausea that makes eating enough hard. One thing that really helped me was making a healthy portion, eating as much as I can in the moment and then putting the rest in the fridge and turning on a timer for ~ 1 hour and eating the rest then. This might not work for you but I hope you find some solution, sending lots of good vibes 💕

[@megzzk8072]

@@Lamo645 I really appreciate the comment and idea! A timer just to remind myself the food is there might be helpful! If you don't mind, how do you make healthy portions on "nope" days. I feel like, currently, figuring out portions is a lot of googling and double checking that I never have the capacity for when I'm just attempting to even get myself to eat

[@kerrilawson3473]

Way too much sugar for one day. For anyone. Read labels. I was shocked how much sugar is in one tablespoon of hot chocolate.

[@russshh]

there wasn't even any fruit. how much sugar can in that small pack of hot chocolate be

[@kerrilawson3473]

The bread (body converts carbs to sugar), the jam (sugar), the wrap for lunch (body will convert), the rice for dinner (again, body will convert to sugar) and the hot chocolate- like I said before it will shock you how much sugar is in hot chocolate. You don't have to believe me, simply look it up for yourself. Search Josie Inchauspe on you tube/Diary of a CEO.

[@kerrilawson3473]

Also, deli meats are among the worst things, you should never or at least rarely eat them. Don’t take my word for it. Look it up.

[@ahuman5772]

Being obsessive over diet can get more unhealthy than eating a little sugar. I make my own hot chocolate with coco powder and add sugar myself, so I know exactly how much sugar goes in lol. It's ok, most people know they're just not bothered by it. Deli meats also have iron in them and protein, so they have useful things in them as well. Of course you shouldn't eat too much of them but that goes for everything (even water).

[@ahuman5772]

That's way too little food for me, and it was way too little food for me when I weighed 47kg (I was eating a lot more than that and not gaining weight). If you are young and you find that you can't eat very much, it may be worth talking to a doctor, because you may have hypothyroidism or something like that. Alternatively, it may be caused by previous dieting or not getting enough exercise. Unless you sit around on your bed all day, most people should be eating more than that.

[@selen5487]

Even on a normal video she’s praising and not criticizing - she needs to bring in negativity about other videos how much body checks trigger her. Why can’t people show off their bodies as much as their faces big round curvy slim straight or whatever - why can’t you encourage self acceptance ? For all sizes including smaller . Is it a crime to show off your body and show what you eat in a day if you want to share that with society? Should we shame you for showing ur face and what you eat in a day…

If you're going to the effort to review a diet, shouldn't you also comment on the areas for improvement? Such as suggesting incorporating fruit into her daily diet, and choosing wholegrains over refined grains? I agree with your points about balance, but there's clearly area to improve her health with diet as well without perpetuating toxic diet culture

[@april-tui3524]

Agree, there’s very little vegetables and no fruit!

[@ellaj9380]

"what I eat in a day" is not a reasonable thing to respond to with a "diet review" - it's not a diet, it's a one day sample. extrapolating it to make assumptions about days outside of the given data is part of diet culture because it pushes high-level monitoring and compliance models instead of dynamic decisions and human nutrition being bigger than any one day. when you're fighting super prevalent narratives around restriction, external criticism, self-criticism and constant self-assessment, things that might seem like constructive criticism tend not to land as intended.

[@katie8325]

I agree, but body checks in WIEIAD videos are a bit stupid and misleading because they imply that eating this way will get you the influencer’s body and that the diet is about getting a certain body, not about health, even when the influencer claims to only do it for health reasons.

[@selen5487]

@@Diana-qp2rw I’m in the middle when it comes to this because I see that point too but also think people should just do whatever. My main problem with this is more so if a skinny girl body checks she finds and picks them if a larger person does she doesn’t pick on them never would that’s my main issue , so it’s not a general stance against body checking because she probably picked on 10000s of body checking videos of skinny girls and 0 for a larger lady so

Because intuitive eating isnt great for weightloss and it is (mostly) bullshit😅

[@selen5487]

Super healthy balanced each meal like this can still make someone gain weight of overall the amount of calories is too much for them and that can be the type of food or the size. I suggest trying a calorie tracker app to get a general idea of how many calories a day and a weight loss calculator on the internet you can find it which will give you depending on you how many calories will be needed for weight loss or maintenance. Just try and see what works for you everyone’s different - I have a super skinny model friend who eats McDonald everyday but she eats like once a day and she’s really tall. But if you eat like this and are happy just try reducing the portion size of you’re gaining weight or adding in more walking steps you got this ❤

[@Diana-qp2rw]

Weight loss and weight gain is not only about what you eat, but mostly about calories. Eating balanced, satisfying meals full of protein and veggies makes it easier to get into a calorie deficit, but depending on how much of it you eat and how much or little you lose you can still get into a calorie surplus and gain weight. Maybe you could just write down everything you eat for a few days to see what’s your problem. Maybe you’re using a lot of fat to cook? If so, see if you can reduce it. Or you snack mindlessly in between meals? If so, make sure your snacks are balanced and satiating, not too high in calories, and eaten more mindful and not just out of boredom.

And by doing that, it adversely affects a lot of people (particularly young people who do not have the same experience or critical thinking skills). It presents entirely unrealistic or unhealthy expectations as attainable. Or they're people that don't actually have any authority to speak on nutrition and are shilling products.
