Dietitians Thoughts on Amberlynn Reid’s Diet & Mukbangs (This Might Be Hard to Watch...)

[@missmoxie9188]

Even if she were 120 pounds I would have NO patience for Amberlynn Reid. It has nothing to do with her eating, mukbangs, or weight. There was one video where she explained that she woke up that morning and her dog, Twinkie, couldn’t walk. Instead of taking Twinkie to the vet she went shopping at Walmart and out to dinner at Chili’s. She claimed that there are NO 24 hour emergency vets in her area. A Google search shows there are TWO 24 hour emergency vets in the city she lives in. One of which was up the street from the Chilis she had dinner at. She’s also driven two hours to go to the Cheesecake Factory, but can’t drive 20 minutes to get her dog medical attention. She’s a deplorable human being

Therapy. Therapy. Therapy. It’s how I lost 185 pounds, have kept it off for almost 19 years and to eat whole food. I’m not perfect but people don’t end up 300, 400, 500+ pounds because we’re happy.

[@frenchloverstalker]

This is 100% the truth. I think the best thing inever did for my health was deal with the discomfort of dealing with my issues and work them out. Growth is painful but its worth it.

[@lynncrf]

I have never been obese, but hormonal issues caused me to go from 112 to 173 lbs. So I had always assumed extremely obese people just had things like me that commonly go undiagnosed like insulin resistance and thyroid resistance. Do you guys think that all people like ALR have emotional issues? I would have thought that she was just naturally meant to be bigger, but that being put on diets from the age of 11 just killed her metabolism.

[@chumhum3048]

@@lynncrf most people who do get to amberlynns size do it because they usually have a history of abuse or mental health issues and they turn to food as comfort. Even watching my 600lb life they all seem to have a story like that. Amberlynn has talked about how she had a rough childhood and has mental health issues. I have PCOS, insulin resistance and an underactive thyroid and the reason I am as big as I am is because I use food as a crutch. It's definitely more mental than physical, you can be a healthy weight with all those issues. Also her going on a diet at such a young age most likely didn't damage her metabolism, but gave her an unhealthy relationship with food and disordered eating habits

[@lynncrf]

@@chumhum3048 For me it was definitely all hormonal issues that caused weight gain but maybe as you say it has to be something more to reach 500 lbs. I lost most of the hormonal weight, but if I reduce my thyroid or metformin dose I gain so easily. So it's interesting to hear the other perspective, since like some of the others I don't know ALR.

She's eating a ton and if you eat that EVERYDAY, you can definitely maintain a high weight. If you have diabetes already, it's also more difficult to lose weight unless you balance your sugar correctly and change your whole diet drastically. It's a LOT of food / calories. A woman who is 5ft 3 should only be eating 1700 tops per day unless they are burning calories like Michael Phelps.

I struggled with binge eating throughout my life until I met with a dietician who introduced me to intuitive eating. Once I stopped seeing certain types of food as off-limits, I completely stopped binge eating and my weight gain stopped. Hearing Abbey's conversation with her colleague made me remember those feelings I used to have when I was binging and I'm so happy that I don't have to suffer from the debilitating guilt anymore. This idea that there are "no bad foods", really changed my life.

[@valumtimes]

Intuitive eating is such a life changing concept for somebody living with disordered eating. It's been slow going after 15+ years of OSFED, but every step I make with intuitive eating and therapy is like entering a new world. It's amazing how much I've healed from the years of self-neglect & abuse - all from just listening to my needs. Congrats on your recovery, that's an incredible accomplishment. I really wish you the best going forward. :)

have had exactly the same experience. After binge eating for 20 years I don't even think about bingeing now. Ditching diets and eating intuitively has relieved me of that madness in a few months, compared to years of therapy....incredible!

Only positive reinforcement I ever received in ED therapy was when I lost weight.

[@thecuckooviolinist7376]

They shouldn't make you weigh yourself weekly thats so counterproductive and horrible! You cannot go by just weight anyways, The reason why you want to lose weight is to look better and be healthier...if you look in the mirror and see obvious differences and you feel healthier and your doctor says you are, you are completely fine to gain a pound one week, and then lose 2 the next! Everyones weight fluctuates! Its called being human! Also water retention, heavy food in terms of weight, gaining muscle if you are working out, and so many other reasons!

Yeah saying “you do you, you go girl” to your bad behaviors is certainly helping. What sort of snowflake society we’ve become that talks about getting to a healthy weight is triggering? If everything triggers you to this extent, you need psychological help. Also, while I don’t condone an0rexia, people who are an0rexic get more sympathy than binge eaters because it takes self control to starve yourself. Again, I don’t condone either side. But sadly people who lack self control get less sympathy from everyone. You can’t change the world. People like Abbey Sharp are enabling your binge ED.

I think her yo-yo dieting and binging is a cautionary tale that it’s important to seek professional medical help.

[@Rikku147]

And to accept accountability. The problem with Amberlynn is that she refuses to accept that yes she needs help but yes she also has more control than she thinks. She always absolves herself of it by continously blaming it on a Binge Monster that makes her lose control. Edit: I wrote this in reply to someone else, but to reiterate, I'm not demonizing anyone or anything. I have mental health issues, mainly anxiety disorder. I don't choose to have anxiety or to have a panic attack or a thought spiral. But I do have a choice between indulging them rather rather than seek help, perform mental exercises, go to therapy every week, and be aware of my destructive habits enough to catch myself in the moment and course correct. You always, always, always have more control than you think, and it does not help anyone to pretend you don't have power over your mind or your life. Babying Amber and saying "aww its okay i know you can't help it" is the opposite of helpful. Especially because she's admitted to being emotionally abusive to her girlfriend when she's denied food during a binge episode. That is not okay and she IS in control of that.

this! i didn’t realize i had a problem with binge eating because i was “average” sized by society standards. but i knew my eating habits were far from normal and causing my distress about my health. im really have to say in the last 6 months i have done tremendous work and not binged. No foods I want are off limits so I enjoy desserts like ice cream regularly while my core diet staples are nutrious filled with fruits and veggies and protein. I’ve never felt like I’ve enjoyed food more but binge eating was ultimately a mental headspace and coping mechanism i needed to work through

When she talked about not looking at foods as “bad” it reminded me of my own ED recovery. There were so many foods I had put on my “bad list” but instead of avoiding them, it made me want them even more. Ultimately I just ate them in secret which led to feeling guilty which only fueled the ED. My therapist advised me to only eat what I actually wanted to eat- no other rules or stipulations- just whatever it was that I actually wanted. I was horrified because I didn’t trust myself to want “good foods.” However when I tried this experiment I found that what I had wanted all along was freedom to choose. I didn’t really want to eat a pack of Oreos but because I had told myself I couldn’t have them at all it made me want to fight against that.

When you deal with people with eating disorders and/or binge eating disorders, you get no where when you try to put them on a regular diet regimen. You’re dealing with an addiction, which is actually more difficult to deal with than alcohol or any drug addiction. It’s also very frustrating when you have an eating/food addiction as it’s very misunderstood and people just don’t get it. When you have a drug/alcohol addiction you have to use abstinence and you just can’t do that with food.

[@ttc958]

Alcoholic still need to drink, they just make better choices. A food addict needs to ear and can learn to make better choices

[@islandgirl45]

That’s what people think that have never had to suffer with an addiction, “they just don’t make proper choices”. When you’re addicted, choices go out the window. It’s not about choices or willpower, it’s as if another entity has taken over your body and will. Only an addict can understand this.

[@ttc958]

@@islandgirl45 i very much understand addiction. Sobriety is a choice, sobriety looks different for everyone but to stay on track you have to make the choice every hour to not use. When i say choice I'm talking about coping mechanisms, learning what to do when she wants to emotionally eat, how to deal with her emotions, she needs to learn the types of foods that are safe for her and how to control her portions. She needs to make the choice to get rid of her enables and let go of the control ans seek treatment. Being an addict doesn't absolve you from accountability.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@shelbyb9965]

Frozen is totally fine! Because the food is frozen at the peak of ripeness, it can often be more rich and vitamins and minerals than what you'd buy fresh. Same goes for canned veggies as well! I do lots of frozen veggies for things like stir frys and grain bowls. Also frozen fish is a big part of my diet since I'm in a landlocked area. Tofu and tempeh are also good protein sources that are cheaper than meat and generally come in smaller portion sizes (they're not good for freezing but they usually keep for a month or two prior to opening). For the grain bowls I usually use ancient grains like quinoa, farro, and buckwheat. They're cheap, nutritionally dense, and can usually be bought in bulk. I like buying in bulk when I can because I can buy lots of what I eat most and only a bit of what I don't go through as often. I hope this gives you some ideas! Let me know if you want more, I'm happy to share if you're interested. Best wishes ❤️

I watched amber when she tried hard to loose weight and she had tons of support. Honestly the only way I see Amber having success on weight loss, is leaving KZbin. Because the paycheck is a motivation as well. Nick is a great example for this. He constantly proclaims rebranding and then goes back on it because his muck bangs get tons of views.

People who are overweight get so much discrimination already, and it's not okay that we get called disgusting and horrible and so many other things that thin people do and it's okay for them to do. You used the example of Mukbangs, already not my favorite thing and not healthy. But showing up at a gym? Wearing certain clothes? Eating certain foods? The fatphobia is real in this world and people have to see it. Thank you for your work, Abbey. I've loved watching your videos throughout my journey to living healthier!
