HELL WEEK

[@minimesnowflake]

i really like how in this one video there are so many familiar and recognizable clothing items from rachel's previous vlogs (e.g smiling tee, realisation par dress, OV leggings, kitsune sweater from paris). we live in such a consumerist society (probably reinforced by style influencers), and it's nice to see unique, investment pieces become recycled like they should be.

[@anotherbubble85]

If you have a body in summer then you have a summer body

[@endlesummer_]

you already look like an after photo in the before picture im confused

[@cosmeticsqueen15]

I like the fitness and nutrition stuff as long as you add some disclaimers! This type of nutrition + fitness is about body transformation, not necessarily about health, and i don’t know if many people understand the difference, so it can be potentially dangerous for some viewers.

[@zinab2blessa]

I never thought of this. Thankyou.

[@caroline2317]

I loved this so much and I miss you!! There’s a certain vibe to your videos that make me want to ride on my bicycle and pick out veggies with a wicker basket and be all wholesome and in love with the world idk haha thanks for posting it never fails to perk me up xx

[@xoxosophiaa]

I've been in a MAJOR slump these past few days and you just inspired me to get going again ahhh! I love that you're sharing more fitness videos with us too! Much love xx

[@sevenlyvintage4468]

Omg Rachel we NEED you on YT. Your videos are always so refreshing and unique.

[@speakingendian]

It definitely would take a lot of mind power for me to do that diet but it was fun watching you stick through it. And the workout outfits were so freakin cute! I wouldn't mind seeing more fitness content but obviously anything you post would be a treat. :)

[@beckabest]

I personally thought this video was super motivating. Would love to see more fitness videos Raych 💖

[@ancd87]

I usually love your videos but found this video quite disturbing. The “summer body” title is rooted in dieting and body shame, in a bid to meet a certain standard of beauty that is not realistic for majority of people.I’m certain you meant no harm and while you are entitled to your lifestyle choices regarding food and your body, I think only certified professionals should be forthcoming with information about health and fitness because impressionable people are watching this and wondering why they can’t live on such little and limiting foods whilst also working out religiously.

[@reinaaqua685]

yeah i definitely feel super down after watching her because i cant achieve that as i dont have the same luxuries provided to her

[@tianaroy5566]

only Rachel can make hell week look effortless and easy

[@diadoranorman4605]

The "before" picture of you is MY body goals. I haven't looked that good since like High School! You go!!!

[@happyflipican]

more fitness videos! always leaving me wanting more! girlcrush to the maxxxxx

[@aadxy]

A lot of comments are trying to shame Rachel for wanting to do this but isnt that her choice? She is a grown ass women who set her mind to do something that is really hard, stuck with it and got results. It was only for 5 days. She didn't say she was switching her lifestyle to this diet because it's obviously not normal. You can't rely on youtubers, or anyone really to be an example of what you want to do with your life. you have to research and be confident in yourself to discern what is right for you. Stop shaming people. Anyways what I really wanted to comment was this was nice to watch as I have been eating way healthier and weight training not anywhere close to this but similar in the fact that it's fitness. SO i enjoyed this and related and feel motivated to keep putting in the work I am doing. Thanks for just being and doing you as always, Rach

[@lysuenn]

When you're a public figure like this, especially to so many young girls, it's not 'just her personal summer fitness goals' anymore. This is a platform that carries influence (Rachel is aware of this), so despite her Manic Pixie Dream Girl persona, you can't just disregard comments that don't worship her as 'negative' or 'hating' - there are real consequences that come from perpetuating the 'summer body = skinny body' mindset. or 'Eat severely under your caloric intake and in 5 days YOU WILL GET THIS DREAM BODY!' - right now, this is what this video is promoting. Yes, it's on the audience to do their own research but it is also simultaneously on Rachel to understand her demographics - impressionable young girls who look up to Rachel, so they can look like her. You think 11 year old girls are going to understand the context of anorexia and bulimia?

[@aadxy]

Hi, I agree with many of your points. But I'm not disregarding comments that are negative as hate nor was I coming from that place. As you stated Rachel is aware of this and it shows that she changed the title of the video. If you watch Rachel you know that the intent of her videos and actions aren't to portray unrealistic standards of beauty. So my frustration lies with the viewers who should know this. There is a way to constructively criticize and point out things people should be held accountable for without shaming them. Which is what I was ultimately getting at. Many of the comments didn't seem to take that into account. I understand the complications and possible effects of this video. Yes, I realize that younger people may watch and are susceptible to being misinformed but they also have to learn to intake information and media but not attach to it, and we have to give people the space to do that. My comment wasn't from a place of praise or promoting anything. I was highlighting a different perspective amongst all the "shame on you." How about we find better ways to communicate accountability.

[@aadxy]

and just to add there are many comments that did give great feedback as well. Thanks for sharing your perspective anyways-- it is all important.

[@daniellaruk]

I like the exercise bits because it shows your life. Basically just want vlogs

[@ashtondellinger5207]

I really like seeing fitness on your channel! I feel like it's important to see someone who is effortlessly beautiful like your self, actually showing the effort that it takes to take care of your body! I hope that makes sense, but I just personally feel like we don't see enough of the hard work it takes to be "pretty" and therefore people get discouraged and think things like, "why wasn't I born like that?" would love to see your future workout routines!

[@bisouselle]

Okay, I loved this video! I’m glad you showed everything that you ate. It gave me a lot of ideas on what to snack on. Very inspiring. PS. Hope you’re doing 31 Days of That’s Chic next month! 😘 Looking forward to seeing that new couch!

[@LiahYoo]

Going to eat healthy again after watching your video! Keep on doing more fitness stuff💓🌴

[@anjawachter1157]

You had a really skinny and naturaly healthy looking body before. I think you trying to achieve a 'summer body' sends a wrong and maybe even triggering sign to other young women out there.

[@friederikebauer7810]

thought about that too! Altough it was a short experience and as said a "hell week" a little disclaimer at the end especially for younger people would have been good!

[@annatdrv]

I think that she knows her body best and if she wants to work out and be HEALTHIER, there is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, in my eyes it's motivating instead of a bad message.

[@LouiseT2405]

Chocomuneca19 yeah but you can’t help but feel like a fat oaf watching this

[@thatschicblog]

Thanks for the insight and input from everyone! With everyone’s personal fitness and threshold, there’s no right or wrong as long as you’re staying mindful of your body’s needs. I poorly worded the video, but I will learn from this to be more mindful of everyone’s experiences and of course always be inclusive to our community. This week was a challenge for myself as was monitored by a professional, and my plan might differ from someone else’s. Also, this week was about jump starting my routine and as stated in the description, not a sustainable lifestyle (at least for me). I did feel a difference in strength and energy in the week. But it is very important to always put health and mind first before anything else. I take ED triggers very seriously and would never want to do otherwise. I’ve changed the title and thumbnail of the video. What should I call the video? Also, since we’re on the topic, what are some of your tips for a healthier you?

[@anjawachter1157]

Thank you for the positive reaction! I like the new title : )

[@raeraekim1249]

your skin!!! glowing!!! motivating me to eat healthier and do more work out!! good to see you back to KZbin!

[@Erica-vy7ol]

Love seeing health and fitness content on your channel, too! I always feel like your channel is super well rounded and just shows life -- organizing, beauty, fashion, vlogs, and part of that is also health + fitness!

[@keishawooten3]

I really love this. I hope you do more of theses kinds of video. You're such an inspiration!

[@AynBernos]

YOU'RE BACK!!! I am saved!!!

[@D3FS3]

I think the general consensus is we just want more Rachel videos. Yes, work out stuff is amazing. We are all thirsty for content.

[@heartyee]

[@akualikewater]

[@beccahine9151]

[@KethiKreme]

RACHEL YOU MOTIVATOR! I'M LOVING THE FITNESS ASPECT OF YOUR CHANNEL! HOPE THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY! XOX

[@UncleMarco]

Literally binge eating a pizza while watching this

[@melissahahm842]

THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED!!!! Blessed day ✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@AjaDang]

I LOVE Jyima!

[@classproject2010]

I feel like there is this gross double standard where women can’t show themselves exercising/eating healthy without catching a rash of comments calling it “unhealthy”. Rachel worked with a trainer and was on his nutrition plan-I’m pretty positive that guy knew what he was doing. This was also a short-term workout (hence hell week, duh) to get proven results. If anyone knows anything about nutrition and weight loss, it’s a fact that you have to go into a calorie deficit. Eating clean and working out is actually an advisable option vs. people who go into calorie deficit solely through food. Plenty of vloggers and influencers will show unhealthy eating habits and they rarely receive backlash like this.

[@DixieAlice]

I like these type of videos. They’re interesting and i get meal/snack ideas.

[@findKhristine]

Rachel! How are you the cutest human being on the planet??? and also, this is seriously inspirational! I wanna try!

[@AngelissimaASMR]

i love your fitness and food content. love all your content actually but yes please more fitness/eating vlogs! xo

[@ivannareads4077]

Yes for more fitness vídeos 🙌🏻 - you did so good btw on such a tense workout/eating schedule!

[@kelsey3824]

Loved this Raych!! Missed your videos!

[@cityislandzoe]

I love this video! More pls❤️ I’m also so proud of you!

[@bellasheehan]

I love this! There's a lot of people giving you heat, and while yes-perhaps you could be more sensitive to de public as a public persona, I think if it's coming from an authentic place and feels good for YOU you should keep doing YOU. It resonates with those who need it and others can tune out. Cheers chica

[@ellewoods9475]

okay this video is amazing but this was a meal/workout plan specifically designed for rachel by a professional, please please take care of yourselves and if you want to do something like this, consult a professional, do your research. everyone's body needs different things; make sure you're taking care of yourself first!!

[@KayleySakamoto]

Ok how did you know that a) I was in the mood to watch ur videos (I already had a tab open when this uploaded) and b) I've been needing some inspo on health & fitness and all that jazz??

[@thatschicblog]

omgah that summer vibe, i thu-RIVE

Almond and celery 😭. Worth the effort girl good job!

[@홍가형-q8j]

[@meilamso6072]

FINALLY!!!! I miss your vlogs.

[@christinamock7264]

Go girl! Love the fitness and diet video:)

[@ByKristyLin]

dang this is why it's so easy to be healthy when you're rich just have your personal trainer and chef do all the thinking for ya. Reminds me of your comment in one of the vlogs "You're not ugly Weston, you're just poor 😂"

[@sonamstha3]

motivated to work out definitely after watching your video! Also i was thinking to myself hmm her skin is looking really good before you pointed it out as well lol... secret to your glowing skin? :) Xx

[@BB-wc7fg]

[@maryG4]

Just watched a video of yours earlier,, was hoping you would upload soon and here you are😁

[@hilaryanzaldo1846]

I love it when you upload!

[@GuitarLvr21]

As Rachel said in description, this is short term for an event or something. As soon as u stop eating that way things will slowly go back. This isn't a sustainable or even healthy diet.

[@alexisoro7612]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS💗

[@nopuedo3488]

I'm watching this after gym and i love it!

[@lysuenn]

Please don't do videos that are 'fitness/clean-eating/diet-based' related anymore, because as a nutritionist (and someone who suffered from ED), this was a horrible idea. It didn't help that throughout your whole video all you could talk about was how much you're losing, you peacocked getting thinner legs, and your video is titled 'Summer Body'. I like watching you, but this time I think you need to sit and think about the messages you're sending out.

[@veta4572]

lysuenn it’s just a vlog relax

[@lysuenn]

When you're a public figure like this, especially to so many young girls, it's not 'just her personal summer fitness goals' anymore. This is a platform that carries influence (Rachel is aware of this), so despite her Manic Pixie Dream Girl persona, you can't just disregard comments that don't worship her as 'negative' or 'hating' - there are real consequences that come from perpetuating the 'summer body = skinny body' mindset. or 'Eat severely under your caloric intake and in 5 days YOU WILL GET THIS DREAM BODY!' - right now, this is what this video is promoting.

You think 11 year old girls are going to understand the context of anorexia and bulimia?

[@emilyloch5178]

I am so glad that you said this. I'm struggling now and it just made me feel like I am eating too much (I'm eating better and trying to recover so you can imagine).

[@alissad7221]

The problem is that you are projecting your own problems/views/thoughts onto Rachel - which is your own problem. Rachel is sharing an experiencing that isn't promoting any type of "unattainable" body. She clearly states is just for 5 days, they ate healthy and exercised. It is not her responsibility to navigate through what you or others think is appropriate for her to post.

[@bexeila4637]

When the slip of paper with measurements was included showing borderline underweight BMIs as the starting point, before restricting calories and working out to get a desired physique, I cringed. I know Rachel didn't mean to be harmful, but this video plays into the warped mindset many girls have of what is healthy/unhealthy.

[@mjmjmj3046]

I’m trying to get back into working out and this is really motivating me!!

[@studdedlife016]

Thanks for blessing us with a video!!!

[@thebookinmytote]

Love the fitness content!

[@mardybum3116]

has anyone seen the brooklyn 99 episode where terry gina and amy do a crazy diet where they have a single almond as a snack?? this was hilariously reminiscent of that. really hoping everyone realizes this is ridiculous and especially if you're young this is not a good idea. i think you're incredibly talented rachel and you're a grown woman who can make her own choices but I don't think you should share this. you have a lot of young viewers. just my opinion.

[@thatschicblog]

Maradyn Hawkins Hahahaha sometimes I felt that way when it’s written out, but this was a snack before eating salmon, salad, and blueberries! I stated in the description that this is not sustainable. I did this under professional supervision for 5 days - and really hahaha have not gotten close to eating the same since. I don’t want the wrong interpretation of this video to be anymore than watching my experience through a 5 day challenge! ✨✨✨

[@Sldindpunjab]

Whete is your grey top from? (The one you were wearing with a pink short) 💓

[@ChisiAmandaXiong]

Yay! Happy to see a new video xoxo

[@djamilamonteiro4652]

This segment was dope!

[@02leda]

This was from so long ago I didn’t realize you were vlogging it yayay

[@Katjjjes]

That diet is just insane. There is absolutely no need for such a restrictive diet with such a lean and beautiful body. I'm a nutritionist and I would only advise morbidly obese people to follow this meal plan. Of course, it made your abs look more defined but you mostly lost water. With a diet like that and the hardcore workouts, there is even a good chance that you're burning muscle. Whoever made the plan has either no nutrition-education or thinks that you're a couch potato with a BMI of 40. I'd love to see fitness videos on your channel. Your workouts look fun af.

[@sharifa7561]

RACHEL IS BACKKK!!!!

[@SionedWillicombe]

For someone who's recovered from an eating disorder, this kind of behaviour really really scares me. A few years back, I had a body similar to Rachel's. I wanted to be the "better version of myself" and started dieting like this, justifying it by convincing myself and everyone around me that it was "healthy". I developed anorexia, which gradually turned into bulimia. I went to hell and back. Five years later, I'm weight restored, yet I still struggle every day. Please don't get sucked into this kind of behaviour. Stop trying to look like something you're not. Your body will never look like someone else's (especially an edited photo of a celebrity), because every body works differently. It's so worrying seeing people get sucked into diet culture.

[@Alexandra-kf8fi]

What’s your jean skirt or is it shorts in the beginning of the video?

[@teo9084]

Come on why this girl even need summer body..

[@teo9084]

Though good to see new video

[@crystalconfetti1]

How is it possible to eat such small portions? Like just an half apple and some nuts? I feel like I would get dizzy and feel weak immediately but maybe that’s just me.

[@lillimartiny2041]

had to go for a run after watching this! please post more videos like that bisous

Love this Rachel!!

[@MyCupcakelandia]

Now I need to go to the gym 🏃🏻‍♀️

[@michelleedwards711]

I loved it! More like this Rachel!

[@michelleedwards711]

Can I just add, lots of people are commenting on how little food was in the plan. But it was full of healthy fats. Avocado, nuts, coconut, salmon. Natural sugars found in blueberries. Protein in the fish and nuts. I really enjoyed this vlog. 👍

[@julietkwan5121]

I love that colorful striped tank!! Where is it from??

I want to be lean so badly but I suck at exercising. Love your body Rachel and think the results were crazy for one one week love it. The outfits were so cute as well, I now really want leggings.

[@anniehall8298]

Pleaseee do more of theeesee...

[@auj5901]

Is it the workout that you say isn't sustainable or the diet? Also, your necklaces are really pretty. Are they custom made?

[@thatschicblog]

Auj both I would say! Especially the diet though - but the meal plan weeding off hell week was a lot more food and a healthy plan.

[@thatschicblog]

Also, thank you! One of them is Vintage and the other is from Kinn 💫

[@feifei2097]

Missed youuuu 💞

[@endlesummer_]

is 2 eggs and an avocado a meal

[@ericahale1430]

no

[@perlahernandez1880]

Actually yes! Avocados are full of healthy fats. A whole avocado would account for all the fat one needs in 1 day. That said, since she has other foods with fats throughout the day like cashews, etc., 1/2 an avo is fine. Eggs are a good source of protein. 2 -3 eggs a day is sufficient (depending on your body size, age, needs, diet, etc.)
