I feel like so many people are missing her point completely here. She's not saying to only buy crisps, cookies, and pizza and binge on them. She came from a restrictive eating and exercising past where everything had to be the perfect calories and macros and hunger was 'meant to be ignored'. With 'all in' she still eats a variety of wholefoods and lovely balanced meals and snacks, but also allows herself the foods she wants and likes without judgement, and listens to genuine hunger cues. I've come from a restrictive eating disorder and gone through her journey - after a while of eating more calories and gaining the weight your body needs you naturally find a balance where you still have mostly healthy, balanced meals but can have crisps or a cookie or two without thinking it's an all or nothing diet. My body and mind feels so much more nourised and healthy and my life is so much more full of joy without restricting my weight or food and I'm sure she feels the same.

[@jg8060]

Fast, you'll be able to eat satiating amounts of food if you fast.

[@MaiAquarius]

J G after wasting three years of my life being miserable to ‘fasting’ I honestly don’t think that’s the solution for a joyful life 😂 you can eat satisfying amounts of food by nourishing yourself when you’re hungry and filling your time with stuff that you enjoy so that food and body size aren’t the only things you focus on

Im not sure if your a girl or a boy but if your a girl i dunno if this will help. Since i dowloaded a monthly cycle tracker app i became more in tune with what was going on with my body. I realised that in the first 2 weeks before my period i would have insatiable hunger and my diet would be sabotaged so id have a binge. Then 2 weeks after no cravings and my hunger went away. I always thought for years that i just couldn’t stick to a standard normal “healthy” diet but then realised it was hormone related. It was like clockwork so i always go easy on myself during those 2 weeks. But everyone is different so might or might not be the same for you.

If you dont have background of restrictive eating disorder and extreme hunger, you shouldn't speak for people who fucking have and are struggling with eating disorder. What she is doing is healthy for people who struggle with ed because they have to do the opposite of what majority calls "healthy". She isn't speaking to "normal" people who doesn't have background of anything above. She is speaking to the people who are struggling with ed and she helped me so much to recover. I recovered as she rec9vered and now my swelling and bloating is going down slowly just like her. So don't you fucking dare say she is doing everything wrong and promoting wrong messages, when she is just saying the things that people who are recovering exactly need atm. She helped me a lot and don't try to discredit her.

People who are going through with eating disorder have anxiety attacks on eating their fear foods which are often junk food. And she is simply here for them to say that its ok and theres no reason to fear these food.

This echoed out everything that I've been feeling throughout this quarantine: the struggle with frequently eating (junk food mostly), feeling like I've been "undoing" all the stuff I've worked hard for bit by bit, losing motivation to train at all, and checking my body more than usual in fear that I'm slowly gaining more body fat as I completely switched routines. It really does not help at all with my mental health and self-esteem. Thank you so much Steph, I feel a bit less alone during these times. To everyone reading this, let's be a whole lot more kinder to ourselves. We are trying our best, and our worth doesn't change with the number on the scale or with the reflection we see in the mirror!

I think many of the negative comments come from people watching another youtuber who isn’t educated on what Stephanie is accomplishing with her new attitude toward food. If they had watched more of her videos they would see she eats 90% whole foods. Her eating junk in this video is a commentary on how the pandemic is affecting people’s eating, it’s not representative of how she’s been eating in general.

[@hp51877]

Unpopular opinion: if you have a healthy relationship with food you really won’t be putting on substantial amounts of weight right now. As long as you listen to hunger and fullness and eat reasonably healthy, you should be fine. This is a good time for people to face they definitely use food as a drug- for stress relief, boredom, sadness, etc. This isn’t healthy. I have not gained a single pound in quarantine.

[@kellyshurden6459]

Okay well the thing is not everybody has a healthy relationship with food. In fact, a majority of the people I know (specifically girls) struggle with some kind of eating disorder. Being in quarantine has not helped that for them including myself. I agree that people tend to use food as a drug for whatever it may be and I agree it's not healthy, but it's not so easy to fix. I'm happy for you that you haven't gained a single pound. But think of other people with actual eating disorders that are going through this too. Not everything is about yourself. I respect your opinion though.

I’ve always said it’s one of the scariest & saddest addictions because it’s one you actually have to physically wear on your body. And unlike drugs you cannot just become sober. So I can’t even imagine how difficult it is. Best of luck to you.

[@k8con]

@@kellyshurden6459 I struggle with food too and one of the things that has helped is filling my pantry with nutritious foods that make me feel good! I wish Stephanie had emphasized that. The food she is eating in this video is actually meant to be addictive and can cause binge eating in a lot of people who struggle with it. When I overeat on healthy foods, I feel a lot less guilty and am less apt to fall into any sort of cycle of overeating - i can much more easily process it and move on. I also wish she had shared more tips about reflection and meditation, especially journaling about hunger and hunger signals. I think it's a much better way to combat overeating than eating massive amounts of ice cream in your bathtub :/

Thank you so much Stephanie for sharing your journey! This is probably not as common for men, but I have suffered from an eating disorder for many years and did not realize it. Seeing you address your extreme hunger and being cold and tired all the time finally woke me up and triggered me to start honoring my body’s hunger signals. I’ve now gained 50 pounds (I’m a 5 foot 11 male and weighed 128 before this) and I am no longer cold or tired all the time and my depression has improved dramatically. Just want to say thank you and I hope you continue to inspire others to make healthy decisions in their lives.

stephanie i just wnna say I'm so thankful for your videos. Im 20 but struggled with body image and weight since i was 11, being a dancer. I was anorexic at 15 and then put on a bunch weight afterwards and felt guilty about it for the longest time. Funnily enough, the worst and best thing happened to me almost 2 years ago when I got an injury that stopped me from dancing or doing any exercise or even walking for that matter. It made me accept who I am, not place my happiness and self-worth on my body and focus on being happy when I eat and being happy about how food makes me feel. Despite all the stuff on social media of people telling you what you should and shouldn't do, you're the ONLY one that I feel has given some of the REALEST advice and honest account of your experiences.

[@KaileyHull]

Yes! You can do it!

[@naina9807]

For anyone coming from long term restriction, the only way to recover is to face our fears. With any addiction, to recover you have to do the opposite of what the addiction wants you to. For example, someone addicted to alcohol can't have "just a bit" of alcohol, just like someone with an eating disorder can't restrict "just a bit." Therefore, we go "all in." For someone who has restricted for so long, food is medicine and you need more of it than someone who hasn't been restricting long term. This advice probably doesn't apply to people coming from a "normal" relationship with food. Her target viewers have changed. I just saw her older videos, and for someone with an eating disorder, that's the type of channel I would have avoided. A lot. This video helps me feel free, not guilty or label myself with my choice of "junk" food. Yes, for anyone with a healthy background, eat clean, treat foods are fine here and there. Once her weight and relationship with food stabilises, the will to restrict will die down and she will have food freedom and will most likely only want whole, nutritious food (compared to what people eat at the start of going all in). I don't know how long this will take so please don't judge her or her body for taking how long she needs to.

[@fionaseoh367]

I binged and purged as a teen and was able to divert some of that through at-home HIIT. It helped me resist the urge to throw up but still left room for my mindset of matching my workout output with my calorie intake. Your Intermediate Lifting program was the first lifting program I’ve ever bought and prompted me to get a gym membership. It built structure back into my days during my first year out of college unemployed and job-seeking. It reminded me of my agency to take charge of things and change what was within my control, when I was demoralized at the things I could not presently change-a lack of job offer post-grad. And, most unprecedented, it encouraged me to eat more, rather than restrict and self-shame. I’ve already purged once since quarantine. But I’m keeping those thoughts at bay lifting at home and going for a walk at least once a day. I know you anticipate a lot of flack for addressing such subjects during a quarantine, but I want you to know how powerful your reminders and example are. To me. Thank you. For showing the good, the bad, and the ugly of your journey. For giving solid not saccharine advice on how to persist. And for being a minority voice of non-weight loss oriented fitness.

I'm truly sorry that you're still stuck in this ED cycle, but it sounds like you're doing all the right things to slowly pull yourself out of it. It is so incredibly hard to overcome an ED. I've been restricting since I was 15, and then when I was 25, I began an extreme cycle of restricting and binging, that took me 7 years to cure. It was completely out of control. I would go back and forth between consuming 5,000-10,000 calories a day, to eating only 500-800 calories a day. It made me feel powerless, and I wondered if I would ever feel normal when it came to food and my relationship with my body/weight. There were a few key decisions I made to help me break the cycle. 1) Talking to a wonderful therapist. 2) Writing in a journal every day. 3) Taking small steps towards my ultimate goal, as opposed to trying to fix everything at once. 4) Forcing myself to eat when I was hungry, no matter what, and stopping as soon as I felt satisfied. 5) Finally giving myself permission to stop dieting and losing weight. I just focused on maintaining my size and truly listening to my body for the first time. I wish you all the best!!

Stephanie, I really don't know about your advice not to exercise if it's stressful. Everyone should be able to find some form of exercise that isn't mentally stressful. Be it yoga, a walk, bike ride, or just running around in circles flailing your arms like a madman! I have never heard of anyone that doesn't experience an improvement in mood and stress levels after getting their heart rate up. It is especially important in times like these.

[@xiaoshanzzz]

I never comment in public ever. And I agree with where you are coming from -- for a lot of people, exercise is a form of stress relief. Believe me this is true for me too. I love a good endorphin rush from elevated heart rate. But like her original advice, all exercise advice needs proper context. For example, you don't have to wake up super early to exercise if you have a 14 hour workday ahead of you. It's shouldn't be another source of your stress; or another chore on your todo. When trading off exercising with other activities that might relieve your stress (like singing, painting, etc. whatever), it doesn't always have to be exercise. I used to stress myself out for missing a few days of workouts because I needed that 40 minutes of sleep on those days. I know that was the right choice for my body, even though the anxiety of "I'm not keeping up with my health" was running high in my head. Giving health advice is hard. Because health/balance is such a nuanced topic. I appreciate you raising the point of "move your body in the way that feels good". It's super important. It's just not necessarily the right thing to at certain particular moments.

[@35mmonrose]

a lot of these comments don’t understand that this video is targeted towards people with restrictive “fitness” habits. as a society, we don’t acknowledge the adverse effects of diet culture just as much as we do to acknowledge the issues with obesity and gaining any sort of weight. for every video like this, which preaches less food guilt and emotional kindness, there’s a million videos out there constantly pushing DONT LOSE YOUR PROGRESS or DONT BE LAZY AND DONT EAT in the midst of a pandemic. there’s a clear problem with our mindset here, considering so many people have reacted with straight up hate. nothing wrong with criticism, but immediately attacking steph for this video is just childish. i loved the vid, by the way, but i guess it’d be good to clarify that this wouldn’t necessarily work for morbidly obese people so that everyone doesn’t get on your ass for it ahhaha

[@gwenmonteiro1927]

I hear what you are saying, there is too much noise about getting abs etc, and for most women esp maintaining washboard abs year round is unhealthy but just because there is one extreme out there, Stephanie shouldnt be putting out another extreme of "eat whatever and excercise if you feel like it" its not the right message.

Eat to nourish with as much unprocessed foods as possible and move your body, no extreme binges or undereating.

While I do agree with most Steph, many people with eating disorders are ALWAYS hungry. That's how some people get to obesity. This quarantine shouldn't be an excuse to get to an unhealthy weight either. Edit: I'm down 21kg/46lbs from being clinically obese and now at a healthy weight. Food's always a struggle, but the leading cause of death in covid patients is the disease being mixed with being overweight (in age group 18-64). Please do stay at a healthy weight or no more than 5kg/10lbs outside of one!

[@Northsea_007]

@@tobischmidt1715 No, I disagree at some point. It can also result from hormonal issues. So eating disorders can also be found in people having a leptin/ghrelin-problem. And at this point they need more "self control" than other people. Also the kind of food interacts with the hunger signal. That is why e.g. simple carbs cause more hunger afterwards because of the drop of the bloodsugar level. Protein in contrast keeps satiety up and is better for weight management.

Right before the gym closure, I finally started seeing consistent results with weight loss, mentality, and strength gains in the gym. I felt like I was in such a good place, but not being able to go to work everyday, or the gym, and being stuck at home all day, I've experienced a really bad relapse in bulimia that I finally felt I had under control. Although I have had an eating disorder for over 6 years now, the last couple of years I have really experienced more control and stability in recognising triggers and accepting the times I have overeaten and just dealt with any binges when they occurred, and I was finally able to tell myself it was just one day and to get back on track tomorrow. But this is a really difficult time that I feel I've lost all control, so this video definitely helped reassure me because I am certainly feeling guilty of every single thing!

[@caitlinchuah]

I am in the exact same situation as you :( But we must not give up, i know that feeling of just losing all control and not even bothering to try anymore, just binging and purging the entire day with your mind gone blank...but we have to try, let's do this together, we got this!

[@emmaashburn3373]

I had bulimia for years and I totally understand the struggle. It's VERY hard to break the habit/obsession/addiction. It's entirely psychological, so approach your mental issues before thinking about how your body looks physically. Working on mindfulness helps, such as daily meditation to help with stress and self discipline, along with repeating mantras to yourself. I personally have to look in the mirror and tell myself "food does not control me" over and over and I'm telling you it has helped so much with my eating disorders. I have a way better relationship with food, I eat when I'm hungry but I don't binge and make myself sick anymore and I'm still in good shape. Instead of being mad at myself if I ate like crap that day, I look at myself in the mirror (I mean this literally) and say that maybe I didn't have a great day and that's okay- I can do better tomorrow and just work on improving my self control one step at a time. Shifting my mindset has made all the difference in the world and I really hope you can take something away from this!

My bloodpressure is low to normal again. No, I disagree.

Just leaving a comment to say you inspired me to go all in. After 7 years of counting and restricting calories and feeling tired all the time I decided to just eat. I'm only over a week in, but my mood is so much better. The first few days were really hard, but it's getting better each day :) thank you so much ♥

[@christinamiller9134]

I started doing this 8 months ago. It certainly gets better, but it will also get worse, and it's really important to hold yourself gently in your own hurt when it does. Be kind to yourself even when you don't think you deserve kindness--ESPECIALLY when you think you don't deserve it. You will have plenty of ups and downs. Overall, it's definitely worth it. I got my life back. I got myself back. I hope you do the same. Virtual hugs 💙

Im recovering from an eating disorder and I was/am so scared about my weight gain, but listening to what you've been saying and watching you go through everything is helping me feel good about myself again. thank you thank you thank you

[@Noah-Lach]

You know what you should really do during this time? Buy HEALTHY FOODS to fill your cravings instead of surrounding yourself with junk and adopting the "I don't care" attitude. Now that we're all stuck at home, this is a great time to work on your health and fitness and establish good habits for the long-term future. Using the quarantine as an excuse to stop caring is only going to lead to worse shit down the road.

[@michellepark0954]

u ever had eating disorder bro

[@Noah-Lach]

댕동딩동 Stocking up on junk food isn’t going to do anything to help. I actually used to be overweight and the path to getting fit is in making good decisions at the grocery store and holding yourself accountable. You can accept that you have an eating disorder and work to fight it or you can use it as an excuse. Your choice.

[@elli_e1072]

I had an ED and the "I don't care" mood was what I needed. I was eating healthy for years and believe in me, it's not that healthy as you think. Because if you're that kind of person, with time you will stuck yourself in this way of thinking that everything else is bad. Bread? Evil. Pasta? No you can't, it's not healthy. Pizza with friends? Eggs, biscuits, milk, potatoes: evil as well. Evil, evil, evil. I totally removed these things from my life until I found myself alone and starving to death. So for some people, this "I don't care" can really be the solution. Because you need to not care THAT much about food. Even the healthy one

[@michellepark0954]

@@Noah-Lach what kind of eating disorder did you have ? From what I see and heard stephanie admitted herself that she had suffered from long term restrictive diet and orthorexia. For orthorexic mindset, that "i dont care" mindset is necessary in order to stay mentally and physically healthy. She also admitted that she eats whole food on regular basis instead of junk food all the time. Everyone needs to take different routes to achieve "Healthiness", and for people who suffered from extreme hunger/ long term restriction/ anorexia/ bulimia need to fight that ed voice hence need to eat more and exercise less. For others who have bed, or did not have history of things above need to do the opposite to be healthy.

Stephanie, thank you so much for making this video. I also appreciate the disclaimer, because of course there will always be people who criticize us for worrying about "trivial" or "superficial" things, but the people who criticize simply don't understand. When it's your own body, what happens to it is very important, and weight gain can feel like the end of the world. Of course there are worse things to deal with, but that doesn't minimize how we feel. Mental health and self confidence are essential when it comes to feeling happy and balanced, and we shouldn't brush those things aside. You are really amazing and you make us all feel like we are not alone!!

Constantly bodychecking and checking for very small flaws is unhealthy. Checking once in a while is fine, to check if you have gained alot.

[@allstrongfitness]

So the best way to approach this is not bringing all the garbage in your house to begin with. If you can’t have it in your house without constantly thinking about it.. don’t buy it!

[@bx2179]

honestly im not super into fitness but huge props to her. i cant imagine how hard it must be to go through what essentially is recovery while fighting not only with your own mind but also a huge audience of people PLUS the yt fitness community constantly berating you for what you are eating and how your body looks. not many would be able to stay sane during it

[@gwenmonteiro1927]

Annd here is an example of how we have gone from fat shaming to fat faming. I'm not endorsing either behavior but two wrongs don't make a right

[@anneroehm2168]

I believe that having purpose helps during times of uncertainty. *Setting a bedtime as well as a time to wake up gives structure to the day. *Making it a priority to move your body each day. It can be as simple as a walk outside. *Maintaining your usual calories, meals, and snack times. *Accomplishing tasks each day. Have a mental list or write down options. Each day choose at least one task to work on. (Clean out the closet, scrapbook, make a new recipe... it doesn’t matter what it is.) Giving in to depressive behaviors and overeating will only make things worse.

[@xEpicSushix]

I really don’t have words for how amazing this video is. 🥺 Literally everything about it from the content to the amount of detail and editing (I see you!!). You have given me and countless others that may or may not be on a similar journey so much comfort, confidence and even scientific information at length to back it all up when we twist and turn our minds about what is the right thing to do. You bring all of it with the greatest sense of humor, joy and ease and aaaah, you are just a LIGHT and it’s giving me LIFE! 🙏🏻❤️✨ Thank you Stephanie! You’re giving me space to feel proud that I too am ALL IN. Going on month 4 as we speak. We got this, quarantine or not. And that’s to anyone else that reads this, too. You are loved, you are doing fantastic. ❤️🌸

[@EmThrives]

Yes! I love that she incorporates science into her videos

[@JoeMama-sd2kl]

I believe your message could be potrayed in a different way by some people and it justifies them binge eating unhealthy food. Yes self love and patience is important. Thats why you should take care of your body and eat healthy wholefoods. Not for the sake of people in social media, not for the sake of fitness and health standards, but for the sake of your own body! We got one life and one body. We should treat with love and respect that it deserves. Also Im not trying to hate, im simply stating on what I think is right. These times are stressful and one of the dangers i sense is when we are loosening up on our diet and started to binge eating junk food. What could happen is some will get used to it, and worse, you could develop a potential eating disorder or a bad eating habit because of it which could be carried over once this quarantine is over. Please to everyone, think for yourself. Is it better to have short term pleasures? Or long term results? The choice is in your hands

I can’t believe this video is actually a real thing and people are out there listening to it and following it. This video is literally just “it’s okay to have a mental illness and an unhealthy “relationship” with food”. This guilt that you feel when eating or skipping a workout, it’s because deep down you know that it isn’t healthy what you’re doing. However feeling guilty when doing something you enjoy, itself, is a mental illness.

You could also feel guilty because you set for yourself too high expectations and you're slowly falling into a dangerous eating disorder.. personnaly struggle with anorexia, and I feel guilty everytime I eat anything so is it my body which is telling me that I should skeep one more meal ???

Yeah, but living with a parent who buys nothing but junk is also a huge problem. I want to eat healthy, but my dad has absolutely no self control or long term commitment to eating healthy.

I was doing so well before, too...

[@No-sw5td]

But it's not as easy as you make it sound. Firstly, lots of things are sold out in grocery stores. Sometimes, the healthy options aren't there, or if they are, they are much more expensive. That poses a big problem since a lot of us are struggling with finances. Furthermore, the more at risk your household or you are, the less you can go out to buy more food. That means we're stuck with whatever we have which is usually cheap, shelf-stable, and unhealthy
