Telling people to eat intuitively is like asking an alcoholic to drink responsibility. Glad you're calling it out.

[@KeltieOConnor]

All about what works best for each person 🩵

[@chaimaeasri1216]

It goes beyond weight gain. I've always had trouble gaining weight and have always eaten intuitively. I had no idea how little I was eating until I started keeping track.

[@kristiannoel4866]

Or the adverts telling you to "gamble responsibly" 😂

[@theshelbypalace]

LOL!! truth! Sober for 2.5 years 🤣

[@uschilou]

​@@chaimaeasri1216This is so true for me as well. I'd think I was eating plenty, I absolutely wasn't. Tracking my intake showed me how much I was lacking.

[@liberallioness4335]

Finally someone calling out the difficulty of intuitive eating 👏👏👏 I've been binge> restricting for over 20 years intuitive eating isn't intuitive to me at all!!!

[@KeltieOConnor]

Happy to open the conversation! 🩵 so sorry you have to deal with it 😢 such a hard thing to overcome!

[@isabelw.5666]

It really is that common self-deception we all do with various things all day: telling us a slightly different story because we would actually love to be *that* effortless cool girl. 😅 But nah. You learn what 100gr of weight feels like in your hand, what it looks like in different foods and what calories it carries. Counting stuff becomes a sub-concious automatism then. But sure enough, if you run even just 5k, you'll want to eat your body-weight in carbs and it will be triple the energy you just burned. 😅 Since stepping on the other side of 35, I barely run anymore and do more weights until failure. Never looked more toned. (Plus the restrictive eating, of course. 😉)

[@cloveskiwis]

Can somewhat relate because I was bulimic for years and years and it really took a lot of effort to let go of the restrictive eating. But it really is the first step on the journey to eating intuitively if that's what you want to do. So my process at the beginning looked a lot like: very clear times for breakfast, lunch, dinner (no longer than 5 hours apart) all foods allowed, always mindful check in on how I was feeling right before a meal and then just trial and error and observing if I would feel full and how the sensation felt in my body etc. Hope this helps and I wish you the best for your journey!

[@stephanie3087]

Omg I’m not alone!!!!!

[@feseabra3479]

Intuitive eating is a skill. Like any other skill we have to practice. We were born intuitive, then we were brainwashed with restriction. Buy a good mindfull eating book and get in touch with your body's needs. It works...it really does.

[@amanda4313]

Another big thing with intuitive eating is that the people who really push it and say that it is easy have most likely spent YEARS tracking calories/macros. That knowledge and insight is what makes it "easy" because you have a foundation already built and are better at portioning your food in accordance with your goals.

[@kecrn4132]

Very good point!

[@pomberry3591]

Hmm I don't know, I feel like in places with good healthy school lunches kids just learn what portions should look like from school at an early age. I've never counted calories and I didn't do extensive research into macros either because I had so many examples of what a proper meal should look like at school and at home. But if what you get for lunch is that luncheon monstrosity the US is doing then I understand that you have to do some extra work to figure out what a balanced meal is.

[@tammystiletto]

They basically got to intuitive eating because they trained themselves to eat that way. It’s like if you don’t skip breakfast for weeks at a time you will definitely start being hungry in the morning and always want that meal.

[@jenniferbower6286]

I whole heartedly agree. I am one of those. Ive tracked my food since 2009, weighed my food since 2010. It’s really second nature for me. I can slice an avocado, portion my meat, etc & weigh it & it is exactly the weight that I needed for that meal.

[@thebonniewong]

@@pomberry3591 Sigh, the lunch and snack foods in US school systems is atrotious. I'm scared for all the kids who are growing up on chicken nuggies and high fructose corn syrup pumped drinks. Of course they don't like veggies since they were never introduced delicious ways to eat them. How are they going to learn healthy eating habits? Maybe there needs to be kids foodie influencers!

[@juliettelemnij220]

The height thing is SO real, I'm 5'11 and it took me like three years of following fitness influencers before realizing I needed to seek out other tall women to follow for "aesthetic goals"... because at the end of the day, no matter how hard I work I won't ever look the same proportionally as someone who is 6+ inches shorter than I am!!

[@thebonniewong]

Hey you are an aesthetics goal! Many of us aspire to have modelesque long legs like you ;) own it!

[@sizzlekitten4441]

This! I‘m 6‘2, and following someone a foot shorter than me is not realistic.

[@juliettelemnij220]

@@sizzlekitten4441 Who are your fav tall follows? I love Danyele Wilson and goldengirlgains (I think her name is Gigi) personally!! I think they're like 6'1 and 5'10 or so

[@shawnamoore653]

Finallyyyy someone who is actually tall with this problem? What influencers do y’all watch? I haven’t found any tall women. Some who say they are tall mention they are 5’8 and im like well crap. Yes 5’8 is tall but im 6’0 so I feel like im in a different tall category.

[@maggies88]

@@shawnamoore653 I hear you on the 5'8" not really being tall in terms of proportion. Tall influencers are hard to find - and many tall fit women do the 'she-hulk' schtick. I look every 6 months or so. Volleyball players, high jumpers are usually tall and some have a balanced physique. Haven't found one with a YT channel though. Hope someone chimes in. Alicia Marie won bikini and figure comps years ago and is 5'10": Some of the gladiators were pretty tall and wrestlers. You have to look outside of mainstream.

[@geniej2378]

I commented under Abby Sharp's video that intuitive eating is what most of us do, and here we are with obesity epidemics. And when people try to lose weight intentionally, the diet industry leads us down toxic paths.

[@stephaniefronkkonneker9614]

🎉 amen Low palability is literally the only way "intuition" works for me. And it's actually a huge mental game to deal with tasty food. It's a whole cesspool of " I don't deserve that" or "I deserve that" or "that's spooky" or " quick eat before anyone sees you". And dude sometimes I don't have the mental resources to deal

[@thebonniewong]

In a society of over worked people, it is so difficult to find time to cook healthy and satisfying meals. And we resort to fast foods, convenient frozen meals. Then we gain weight, and go down the yo yo dieting route.... It's sadly a vicious cycle.

[@audreybringgold6217]

Yeah, I've been really glad that in recent years she's taken a step away from the hardcore intuitive eating content. She has some actual videos on weight loss now. But yeah she used to be too much.

[@meetoo2330]

Ugggg I come out in hives when I hear Abby’s voice

[@abbyzeo4646]

yeah bottom line is eat intuitively is difficult when you’re constantly being advertised hyper palatable food or too poor to afford nutritionally valuable food🤷🏻‍♀️

[@xsxhx7870]

“My body craves DORITOOOOOS” same tho

[@KeltieOConnor]

“Listen to your body” My body: 🍬🍫🍿🍦🍪

[@cassandrajosettehall]

I think the point with intuitive eating is to eat the Doritos if you want them but just portion it out and enjoy the taste while also having awareness of how it makes you feel. Intuitive eating has helped me get out of the restrict and then binge mindset because I can eat whatever I want but I'm more in tune with how it makes me feel

[@MsTeaAndCrump3ts]

mine craves loaded potatoes and mango... when I say I can down 2lbs of mango its a problem

[@Cloggindancer]

LOVED the honesty about intuitive eating. It gets really frustrating to be told "it's so easy!" .... but it's not! Even when you get the hang of it, your body/life changes (ie marriage, kids, job changes, etc) and you have to start ALL OVER

[@KeltieOConnor]

A conversation that need to be talked about! “Just listen to your body” is the goal, but easier said than done

[@priscilagj]

this!!!!!

[@carrikidwell172]

I couldn't agree more. Your body and life are always changing. We just have to do our best ❤

[@isabelw.5666]

The level of constant introspection this kind of "listening to your body" takes, should really count as a full time job. 😅

[@lyds710]

Hi! Weighing in on Intuitive Eating!!! Intuitive Eating isn’t just eating whatever you want.. it’s a set of principles based on the book by Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch. These principles should all be followed if you are truly practicing Intuitive Eating. These principles are best practiced alongside a nutrition therapist or registered dietitian. Intuitive Eating that influencers “practice” and THIS Intuitive Eating I’m referencing are worlds different. I couldn’t recommend this practice more to anyone struggling with their relationship with food.

[@KaraCorey]

As an RD, I see MANY advertising intuitive eating like it's the only way or you should feed bad. While it's a goal for many, it's not EASY by any means and some just do better with tracking, or meal plans, etc. Even as a RD, I don't find it easy. So I appreciate this so much and fully agree on your feedback ❤

[@elementsportedmonton3608]

And you are eductated in the field so you know the quality of the foods you are ingesting. Many people will try something like this eating protocol (or any other diet) without a solid knowledge base. Often, people just don't understand nutrition well enough to make an sound decision on the efficacy or value of an eating plan. I'm not an RD but I study sports nutrition for general interest and my own needs (I'm an endurance athlete) and I find the diet, fitness and influencer industry to be so frustrating to hear about. You must find it to be an unhill battle.

[@garowen13720]

I just reread the intuitive eating bible book (4th edition) and while I love a lot of it, I also had a lot of the same gripes with it as an individual as I did when I first read it 10 years ago. For me, as an individual, I had the best results and felt the most satisfied with myself when I was using an eating plan. When I tried to go out in the wild as an intuitive eater and super rushed mom and boss, I just hit failure after failure. An eating plan gave me the framework, just like a suggested workout split. It made my path clear for me, and allowed me a place to work from when I felt like I wanted to deviate and those deviations did not have to spiral into stressed out failures ad nauseam. Now if only the RD who touted that book at me like it had mystical powers would just stop listening to herself talk and listen to me, HER CLIENT.... Anyway, sorry to make it about me but I loved hearing an RD echo what I was feeling in my own heart. Thank you for what you do and please keep doing your work. We need you!!

[@canecorsomom2023]

I've been a chronic under eater most of my life. If I don't do some level of tracking, I won't eat enough and then wonder why I feel cranky and exhausted

[@mariegagnon7409]

I am SHAKEN by the wedgie revelation! Now I know why my butt doesn’t look like an influencer’s butt, thank you Keltie !

[@felicia_716]

Not only the butt scrunch but the contouring lines on the leggings and they lift. It's crazy!

[@rinvfx]

the only thing i disagree with is the fact they’re uncomfortable. i have ones with normal wedge, nothing extreme, and they’re very comfy. but my 🍑 looks fine in normal and wedged leggings equally. i guess i didn’t get too tight ones which would squeeze it all 🤷‍♀️

[@Bakerygo]

You can buy leggings with an elastic back there that gives you the look instantly.

[@elnamayberry]

We've spent decades trying to avoid having a wedgie, and now they design shorts that create one on purpose - pain for vanity. lol

[@cdawg9218]

​@@rinvfxI buy scrunch butts because I found the first pair I wore so comfy! I think because I'm normally a g string wearer with a hungry butt (it sucks in my clothes) it's much more manageable than the inevitable unintentional wedgie 😂

[@nottheone582]

the intuitive eating bit was SPOT ON. intuitive eating doesn't work if you've been a chronic yo-yo dieter for years and messed up your hunger and satiety hormones or if you naturally just have a bigger appetite. just because you may want to eat an entire bag of doritos does not mean you should!

[@MinieAnne]

It can work but it's a lots of work and deprogramming and the risk to take weight at first but to trust the process. Personnaly when I start to stop with the bad food/good , all or nothing, and restrictive mentality it was a game changer but of course it took some time and I got lucky I just plateau but I learn so much about my hunger and I'm no longer stress and feel guilty about food wich is insane when I think of my past self. I'm so proud of me 😭

[@erinjanssen8336]

I really appreciate how candid you are with all of this. The short girl genetics thing really gave me hope. I’m 4’11” and I always thought “you’ll never have that long and lean look”. This video helped me re-frame that to “yeah, but it might be easier to make your muscles pop!” I never get too down on it, I just accepted that’s the way I am, but this might be something I could work towards. Thank you!

[@LeejaMiller]

you're so real for this, esp re: intuitive eating. I was also shook when I learned how common roid use is in female fitness influencers because it doesn't take much for a lady's body to really get beefed up. So I try to remember that when I see lady influencers with perfectly cut arms/shoulders especially. Not EVERYONE uses them, but it is pretty common and not talked about enough. also I SPRINTED to that coco & eve self tanner, tysm

Thank you for sharing this. I stepped away from social media for a while because I was never seeing results, doing challenges and random videos. I wasn't able to be consistent so I gave up frequently. I started doing calisthenics for strength and mobility and it's exactly like you've said. It's the same exercise, 3-4x a week, with progression. I'm so much happier and finally able to create a habit! Social media is not reality! 😊

[@prinzessinnnn]

Love this!! I’m surprised at the amount of people who don’t know this info, but then again I’ve been interested in fitness for nearly 20 years now (omg) so I have done a lot of reading - last year I watched a lot of bikini competitors on KZbin and I find it so fascinating how they prepare for a competition! And of course fitness models in magazines have been using these tactics for years… I think maybe people don’t realize that these days, even though KZbin started off as regular joes sharing their lives, today a popular KZbinr in the fitness community basically IS a fitness model, and will use the same tactics to look their best. Like you said, I don’t think there is anything wrong with something like water and carb manipulation since it is still your natural body, but it’s good for people to know that it is something done to get one’s self looking 💯

Videos like these are soooo helpful. Also yes about intuitive eating. Honestly that needs a whole video unto itself. I've spent YEARS differentiating the types of hunger (boredom, tired, horny, actually hungry, hormonal cycles, etc.). I don't think people realize how many different ways the body can signal hunger when it doesn't need food. Sometimes it needs food and doesn't signal. Just on and on. It takes so much time to figure out how your specific body works.

Wow this was REFRESHING. Amazing content. Also as a 6 foot tall girlie who’s been working on my gains for years, the height comment was so validating.

[@KeltieOConnor]

So happy you found it refreshing 🩵 there’s truly pro’s & con’s to all heights!

[@uninvincibleete]

omg THANK you for talking about intuitive eating!! it blew my mind because i recently learned that people who don't have adhd have non-extreme hunger signals that help them intuitively eat. like they just get hungry gradually? and are aware of that happening? people with adhd (and other nd flavor folx) don't receive as many signals from their bodies, so adhders usually only know they're hungry because their stomach is literally cramping or their blood sugar is so low they're getting headaches and shakes. that leads to a panic mode where they overeat (and sometimes even without that panic mode their inability to focus makes them overeat since they get lost in a thought and essentially black out). this goes for most bodily functions, like sleep or peeing, etc. intuitive eating always seemed like such a lie to me but now i know it was possible because some bodies literally operate differently lol. all this time people were like "just listen to your body's signals" but there are no signals for adhders other than an emergency alarm hahaha

YOU ARE THE BEST 🥰 and YES to a video on intuitive eating!!

Thank you so much 🩵

[@lenemariakowalczyk9777]

Your videos are so good!😃 Very entertaining!🤩👏

[@gillifish]

I fully love the concept of intuitive eating!!! But it is HARD. I went through years of disordered eating. And intuitive eating to me now, is just doing my best to eat what I know is going to be good for me, what should fill my calorie needs, and what I WANT too!

[@martinakristofova4237]

I love your insight about intuitive eating! So true!!! And finally somebody says it loud. Thank you Keltie❤❤❤ i really dont like the way “intuitive eaters” make others feel … the problem is … what if eating 100g bar of chocolate first thing in the morning feels intuitive to me? 😂 i guess i should just honour my craving and eat 2x100g bars ?

[@FeralFeminine]

Thank you for sharing your favorite self tanner! I haven’t tried it before and will be ordering it as soon as I finish this video :-)

Thank you for exposing the lies of those fitness influencers. Thank goodness I never felt influenced.

Loved this, so many valid points

Another home run! Great video! Thanks Keltie

Thank you so much!!

[@mistyross1135]

Keltie! I never noticed influencers doing the fake tan/ abs trick. But after watching this video… I have NOTICED it! I cannot believe people actually do that. It looks good, but here I was thinking they were real.

[@arianarice4911]

Keltie this video hahahhaa so good!! Thank you, we love you

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Fantastic content, Keltie. I’m not at all mad that influencers do this stuff. I’m all for aspirational content quite frankly. If I am brutally honest, when it comes to fitness especially, I don’t want the influencer to look like your average person walking the streets. I want them to look fantastic because it inspires me to get my arse in gear. I feel the same way about fashion and interiors. I want that aspirational bliss. But I also want and need a healthy dollop of reality and people who live lives I recognize lol. It’s when influencers aren’t honest and open about all this stuff that I think it becomes too close to lying and that bothers me and it’s clearly proven to have disastrous consequences on far too many young people especially. I’m a fully grown adult who was raised before the internet and social media. Part of my brain will always be cordoned off from the illusions. But young people who have grown up inundated with fake everything hammering their fragile developing psyches …. Ya, there needs to be WAY more transparency. Even if influencers posted something once a month or so without all the trickery to show what reality looks like to balance out the aspirational prettiness …. That might be enough to dispel the myth. I dunno …. Anyhow. Thank you for making this and for all the times you have done likewise. It’s needed and it’s healthy. ❤

This video is awesome. Thank you for talking of intuitive eating. I tried it. And gained sooo much weight. The best that works for me is having coaches.

[@KeltieOConnor]

Love that you found what works for you!

[@MythicStealth]

I was healthier before KZbin. Never thought about macros, calories or workouts, just ate fairly clean and stayed active. Best shape of my life (and I was happy.) The internet can suck the joy right out of living if you stress about being like the influencers. This was a great video!
