[@ninacael]

As a longtime Abbey viewer, I've only recently started to notice some of the EXTREMELY problematic things she does. She mystifies weight loss so much and makes it seem impossible to pander to HAES. It's also incredibly sad to see her bust out the pitchforks whenever a thin beautiful women's diet is being dissected simply for having discipline and prioritizing wellness, which clearly, looking at Abbey, we can tell she does too. We have eyes. Just to touch on SOME of the bullshit she perpetrates: • ''Counting calories doesn't work because food manufacturers are allowed to be up to 30% off on their labels of the actual calories'' (aka, all your efforts are futile and achieving a healthy caloric deficit is impossible) • '''All intentional weightloss is unsustainable and 98% of dieters gain the weight back and MORE within 5 years'' (aka the bread and butter of fat acceptance, a study not only refuted 50 years ago, but completely misrepresented in its data in order to argue this point) • Making metabolic adaptation seem like starvation mode and saying that weightloss slows down your BMR by up to 500 calories and that you'll never be able to maintain it. This is true, and the very simple answer to it is that a smaller body takes less energy to run and function. That's it. Me at 110lbs and me at 196lbs do not have the same energy requirements. Also, it IS true that you'll have to be mindful about your diet and exercise for the rest of your life if you want longterm results. If you go on a crash diet and then right back to what you were doing before, your body will go right back to what it was before. • This is part of both her personality and her attempt to appeal to the creators she's talking about, but she has way too many positives to say about everyone's food choices (except when it comes to thin beautiful women lol) In reality, lucky charms is not a good breakfast. Period. It's not an evil food, but it's not a good meal and cannot be equated to a filling high protein meal. • In my opinion, she is very untruthful in how she portrays her own diet (at least in the portions she claims to eat in). The breakfast in her Emma Chamberlein video alone is upwards of 800 calories with the butter, oil, two huge pieces of bread, 1.5 avocados, honey, eggs, etc. All extremely calorically dense foods. In her Hailey Bieber video, she shows herself eating THREE full, adult sized breakfasts and tries to dunk on Hailey (hate her btw) for choosing to eat eggs OR oatmeal OR a different sort of protein (which is completely normal). For her height and EXTREMELY low weight, that is almost half or more of her maintenance calories, especially given that she says all the time that she hates exercise/only does gentle movement when she feels like it (which will not significantly increase your energy output whatsoever). In other videos, she'll show herself eating TWO full adult sized breakfasts (a full on avocado toast with an egg, plus a bowl of oatmeal and add-ons) and jokingly say she's just indecisive. While I absolutely understand that she feels a responsibility not to encourage people eat less in order to look like her, I think it's really unfair to show yourself eating a body builder amount of calories (2500+) while looking very very very thin and just be like 'see? it's my natural set point weight!' when no one who is truly mindful of their diet has ever overturned the laws of thermodynamics. Of course, her cop out to this would be 'im an intuitive eater and I don't always eat everything I serve or cook for myself', which is a very lame excuse. Show what you DID eat then. *By the way, Gwyneth's diet is very concerning. Not excusing it at all, and I think it's very alarming that she would rather stick herself with IVs then eat the healthy, whole foods that would yield her the same nutrients and benefits.

[@hamsterstyle6152]

I agree it sucks to have someone downplay anorexia, and congratulations on recovering :) but I feel like it’s worth mentioning that atypical anorexia exists, and you absolutely can be anorexic but not be underweight, because atypical anorexia is all of the same symptoms of anorexia nervosa (an intense fear of weight gain, and an extreme restriction of food and energy intake without extreme weight loss or very low body weight) which means a person can be anorexic even if they have a body type that is considered normal or above average.

​@Yana Abramchuk I can't speak for everyone, but what annoys me most about her is she will say she's trying to help and put trigger warnings and that while also putting extremely attractive pics of the people she's speaking of in the thumbnails, knowing very well there are plenty who don't care about her saying it's dangerous, they're gonna try copy them anyway, I find that she's pretty biased too, people will always jump at skinny people's unhealthy diets judging them while eating like a whale themselves and thinking they're healthy, it needs to be a balance but a skinny person gets insane amounts of abuse while fat people get called a hero when they're just as unhealthy as eaxhother

[@andeatit2]

​@Jessica She's using those pics in the thumbnails to get as many views as possible because her relevancy is based upon theirs. But yes it could be seen as encouraging people to copy them. I feel like Abbey is just one of many online nutritionists who say "eat whatever you want" and are embraced by HAES people because they are telling them what they want to hear. Imho Intuitive Eating is not a good idea for someone with an ED and her and a lot of people act like it is. I just feel like a lot of things she says are harmful to people on both extremes of weight.

This is honestly so ridiculous. There is no way that she could be subsisting normally on only 300 calories, and it's crazy to even think that regardless of what Gwyneth said. Do people not realize that if someone was literally starving themselves that they would eventually become extremely emaciated?

She DOES look like she could have early onset osteoporosis though. Im definitely not her doctor, but she is around an age where women start losing bone density fast if they don’t nourish themselves properly.

That honestly sounds more like intuitive eating.

[@believe.receive]

I suffer from digestive issues currently and oftentimes eating things like soup or taking longer breaks in between meals really helps me feel better. These women seem to be oblivious to the fact that so many people deal with health conditions that they often don't even publicize, and "wellness" is often far from being about the fear of weight gain. If I had a dollar for everytime someone told me to "eat more" or "eat normal food", I would be a millionaire, and I'm not even skinny. If Tess Holliday can eat whatever she wants and feel great, that's actually a privilege, since a lot of people in our day and age deal with an array of symptoms, intolerances, conditions etc. I'm tired of body positivity activists complaining about everything being about weight when they're the ones who make it about weight all the time.

[@believe.receive]

Update: Yup, exactly what I thought. I commented this at the beginning of the video and now that I'm further in Gwyneth does speak about a chronic illness.

Excellent points about the internalized misogyny that makes Gwyneth SOO controversial and hated and "wellness" so often denigrated whereas "bio-hacking" bros are either venerated or ignored - no moral panic or body-shaming for them. You're so right that the question was specifically "tell me about your wellness routine" NOT "walk me through what you eat in a day" too, context is KING and sensationalizing snippets makes for exciting content but it's not fair or good faith critique.

I ended up going off both because my husband eats like a 14 year old and I ended up giving in to temptation. Weight and symptoms came back (shocker).

[@Caroo1313]

as someone who also has a chronic illness, an anti-inflammatory diet has saved me when my doctors gave up on trying to help me. I was in pain every single day, constantly so tired I could fall asleep within two minutes wherever I was and barely able to live anything resembling a normal life of someone in their early 20s. My doctors essentially told me "welp, tough shit, there's nothing we can do" so I started researching and landed on an anti-inflammatory diet (which seemed just logical to me since I have an inflammatory health condition but somehow my doctors never thought of that.) Since then I've radically changed my diet and ever since I am ALIVE again. I'm barely ever in pain and overall my symptoms have decreased by at least 70-80%. Do I always love having to adhere to so many diet rules, no. But I know the alternative and I'd rather worry about eating right than worry about how I'm going to be able to have a job or a life when I'm sleeping 16+ hours a day and am in constant pain. I sometimes get really emotional because I still so vividly remember how _miserable_ I felt for years to the point where I had forgotten that it ever had been any different. And now most days I feel just so happy and alive. It sounds so strange to say, but I essentially felt like a zombie for a couple of years, it really feels like coming back to life and finally being awake again. Like seeing the sun again after a long dark winter.

So without the cuts it actually shows that she eats pretty normal meals.

[@78jtfvhiuuygiuyg]

I have a form of autoimmune arthritis and I eat mostly whole foods (in addition to medication) because the impact it has on my pain levels are NIGHT and DAY. By whole foods I mean anti-inflammatory foods such as veggies, healthy fats, lean protien and by limiting added sugar, red meat, alcohol and so on. Changing my diet has greatly increased my quality of life and eating the way I do some may think is restrictive or limited but when I look at certain ultra-processed foods all I see is waking up the next day with worse joint pain. My point is, food is SO impactful on someone's wellbeing, especially if they have a chronic condition. It's awesome Abbey Sharp and similar infulencers want to take the guilt out of enjoying calorically dense, ultra-processed foods but there is the reality that these foods are objectively harder on the body and if someone is already chronically sick choosing to take this added strain away is an extremely self caring as opposed to restrictive. SIDE NOTE: Gwynth Paltrow is extremely problematic in many other ways so I also find it funny I'm defending her.

[@t4ngy]

i don't know why people are freaking out so much about this. i watched her harpers bazaar "everything i eat in a day" and it was basically a detailed meal-by-meal of what she eats, and from watching this recent clip i feel like her diet didn't change at all. she has stated in this previous video that she eats dinner early and that she doesn't like to eat breakfast (which i think it's really normal, in fact, i know more people that don't eat breakfast than people that do eat). she said that for lunch she's usually at the office and will buy food from someplace nearby or something like that, she also said that she eats a lot of one-pot dinners, lots of veggies, and that there's always a side vegetarian dish because her daughter is vegetarian. she stated that she loves fries and pasta and that she does go out to eat those (i'm assuming that she goes out to eat those on some weekends or when she's craving them). maintaining a certain diet during the week because is what makes you feel good physically is not a bad thing. she doesn't have to say that she eats sweets or cereal every day just to make it relatable. she is an older woman that made it clear that she has health issues, and regarding this i defend her because my mom also started having health and stomach issues around gwyneth's age and she didn't take care of herself back then and now she has to follow a very restrictive diet every day to decrease inflammation. people are too quick to make assumptions and completely ignore key points of what someone is saying (because she did say that she is having health issues, specifically inflammation!). we need to stop trying to shame everyone for choosing a different life than we would.

She could have a disorder, yes, but that doesn’t make her a bad person just because she’s a famous person with a disorder. As someone in recovery, I hate the way people with eating disorders are treated like bad people who want to harm others. Gwyneth didn’t say “you should do this too.” She said it’s what works for her and what’s important to her. Which is really no one’s business but her own and that of her doctors. And just because she said she has bone broth for lunch doesn’t mean she ONLY has that for lunch. She just mentioned that’s part of her routine. Tea with breakfast is part of my routine. Doesn’t mean I don’t eat food with it. It’s just that the tea is part of my routine because it’s always the same while what I eat may vary. I really just wish we would stop commenting on how others eat in general

[@tofucupcake]

Abby is obsessed with overeating, sweets, and protein. She's so against eating fruits and eating healthily that it's just crazy for me. I remember when she judged Milles' day of eating (he's also a dietician and goes by Healthy Crazy Cool on yt) and she completely cut out his breakfast from her reaction because it consisted of 10 persimmons.

[@222222ania]

She isn’t against fruit tf?

[@christinewatson1989]

She's a populist dietician whose advice is not based on dietary science but on what sentiments are popular right now and what type of content gets her views and followers. She also CLEARLY projects her ED thought patterns onto the people she's critiquing.

[@nadianrlf]

But, eating 10 persimmons in one sitting doesn't sound good either.... Fruits are indeed source of fibers necessary for our boddy. But, some of them are high in sugar compare to the others. And having too many of them in one sitting doesn't make it any better.

I did 16 hour intermittent fasting while breastfeeding, and it was SO great for my body! I had so much energy and felt great. So I’m sure 18 hours is fine for at least some people 😅

All the people agreeing with Tess on her page, saying ‘Tess is glowing and Gwenyth is frail and dehydrated!” Thats because Tess uses filters and moisturizer.. um.. doesn’t mean her habits are safe or healthy either. And EVERYONE saying ‘ED DISGUISED AS WELLNESS’ towards GP. SAME TO TESS! Same to Tess 😤

[@SorayaSun92]

From what i can tell Abbey Sharp just doesn't like any form of diet restriction regardless of whether or not it benefits the Person. Some people have food addictions and therefore abstain from foods that will trigger them (sugar, simple carbs etc) since moderation doesn't work for them. Nobody would tell an alcoholic to just drink less so why is abstinence of certain foods a problem?

[@iolandagirleanu9006]

Even SHE has food restrictions, she has SIBO.

[@breebartkowiakova]

The whole "People in the Palaeolithic died young" argument against the Paleo Diet that Abby made is beyond stupid and ridiculous. They died young because they did not have homes that had Plumbing and Heating in them, and they did not have things like medicine and hospitals filled with different medical equipment.

[@ArualCrisp]

not the first time Abbey Sharp just speaks without actually thinking. At this point she's just jumping the hate train to stay relevant like every other person on tiktok who speaks without having actual relevant information about what they are talking. She just assumes things like everyone else on tiktok and its dangerous and annoying..

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm not a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow and how much she has capitalized on harmful "wellness" practices for women (and I'm not excusing that, because it's reprehensible), but the Internet's response to her diet was off the rails. I was shocked by the extreme lack of empathy in everyone's response, especially since most people seemed to recognize that her diet could be a form of disordered eating, and therefore, probably NOT something that Paltrow is in control of. It stunned me that most people jumped on the bandwagon to shame Paltrow for her diet and appearance (even with the clear understanding that she MAY have an eating disorder), all in the name of "informing an impressionable youth" that her diet was unhealthy. To my mind, all that does is encourage the "impressionable youth" to be cruel to someone who may be in desperate need of help and empathy.

[@MrPuccatchan]

I’m quite sure people talk bad about those who eat healthy because it goes viral easily. There’s a huge gap in positioning in our society and people like you, who take all sides into consideration, are lacking. So thank you for this!

It’s just so funny that when people say “I do this” everyone thinks it means “you all should do this”. like can we talk about ourselves and not have to explain that “I” and “me” doesn’t mean “YOU”. FFS. Even kids know the difference between I/Me and You.

Have you done a video about Abbey Sharp yet? I watched some of her videos years ago and I feel like she used to be a decent person with good advice. I can't believe what I'm seeing now, it's so sad.

Agreed: I’d love to see this

[@charproulx]

Some people are so ready to be offended, they don't even take the time to really listen to what others are saying

[@KitanaAsh]

I feel like such an asshole towards her now. I didn't even THINK about what she was going through and just saw her through the GOOP lens of how crazy it all was. Honestly, thank you for this video. It was a new take that no one talked about. Especially with how she's suffering and how she has to take care of her body because of it.

[@allimoo-249]

Also, how there’s horrible person made this video saying awful things about her when she’s eating a very healthy diet. She exaggerated from a shot clip, what should I eat in a day?

[@LivyRivy]

Glad you made this video and that I'm not the only one who thought that video was blown way out of proportion. I do OMAD most weekdays and I'm far from starving. Pretty much all Gwyneth said was that she does IF and her dinner consists of a lot of veggies. The horror!!

[@Riosgirl98]

I always find it super weird that random strangers care about what other people eat, maybe it's just coz I'm an old girl and my age group never behaved like this. The internet has obviously made people lose their shizzle 😂

You'd have to be literally prehistoric to be part of a generation that didn't judge food choices, body shame or had a huge problem with dieting and self worth being intertwined.

[@brucheweinberger6863]

People have always criticized other people's food choices. I don't have a dog in this fight,but criticizing, at least what Gwenyth has said she eats, in that specific video, is warranted because people will listen to her. Unless Gwenyth has a secret binge eating disorder, we don't know about and if she only eats what she revealed in that clip, that is extremely unhealthy.

[@ellabean3042]

I agree with your take on this. I’ll just add that bone broth is recommended to end intermittent fasting because of all the nutrients and low carbs. It’s also easier on your stomach lining which is vulnerable right after fasting.

[@beequeen626]

I struggled with fertility for 4 years!! I started doing alternate day fasting, I would fast for 24 hrs and eat normal for 24 hrs and got pregnant within a few months. Both of my pregnancies I got pregnant while fasting

[@JohnSmith-pf8jq]

How have you realised fasting would help? Are there some studies showing correlation between fasting and fertility or something like that?

[@beequeen626]

@@JohnSmith-pf8jq I was fasting for personal reasons and just happened to get pregnant the first time and the second time I was fasting to lose weight. It was just something I put together after the fact. I believe fasting has great health benefits for certain people. I don't know if there was correlation or just coincidence, but when I began fasting my period skipped a cycle both times and then the following cycle I got pregnant. So I do believe that fasting does something to the menstrual cycle.

She said it's supporting her detox. It's definitely her wellness routine. She should be asked what her normal routine is. Then we could judge better.

I had only bone broth for a few days when my IBS was going crazy and my colon was spasming so much I was limping. It helped immensely! Would I tell people to eat like that all the time? Of course not. But if your digestive system having a tough time it's a good idea to let it rest for a day with IF and bone broth🤷🏻‍♀️

As someone currently trying to recover from anorexia, I would absolutely love to speak to Tess about her ED and how it effects her. I understand that everyone experiences the illness differently but wow, my experience couldn't be further than hers judging from how she acts.

[@katiecopeland7934]

Many ED experts and others with personal ED experience say she likely has a binge and restrict cycle ED. Like she literally does not have anorexia /nerviosa/ because the nerviosa part literally means the person is underweight. Just figured I would mention what others currently speculate. Best wishes to you.

[@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920]

Yeah like, she doesn't "experience the illness" at all because she is lying. 😂

[@irishcountrygirl78]

She's lying, she doesn't restrict. All the best in your recovery ❤.

[@christinewatson1989]

@@katiecopeland7934 There has been a long standing argument in the ED community that the requirement to be underweight for an anorexia diagnosis is majorly problematic. If I'm 5'1, 115lbs and starving myself, over exercising, fasting all day, and terrified to gain weight, am I somehow less anorexic than if I'm doing those same behaviors at 97lbs with a BMI that's technically "underweight"? The underweight requirement not only makes getting an anorexia diagnosis into some kind of sick achievement for some, but also stops EDs from being caught and treated early- something vital for recovery.

[@riceypudding]

@@christinewatson1989 I'm so sorry you're going through that, a few years ago I was in the same position myself. I lost a huge amount of weight in a very short amount of time but as my BMI wasn't yet dangerously low I was put onto a long waiting list which only made the illness worse. If you would like to talk to someone about EDs and recovery, please don't hesitate to message me :) Having an ED is a horribly lonely thing to go through but never forget you can reach out to me, talking to someone who understands has helped me so much and I hope it helps you too! All the best

[@cassie.m.0723]

Kiana, I started on my first diet ever after years of feeling uncomfortable with my body, and after hitting a number on the scale that was finally just too much. I won't disclose that number here because I'm not here to shame anyone or any body type. I just know that it feels physically and emotionally uncomfortable for me to be this weight, and I finally started putting in effort to make a change. I'm starting small first, just restricting my daily calorie intake to 1600-1500. I'm almost through the third week, and I've gotten past the feeling of my body thinking it's starving to death lol. Once I hit week 4, I'm going to begin adding some light exercise. I really hope I can stick to it. If I can keep this up for a whole year, I'll hit my goal weight by next spring 🤞 Anyway I'm sharing all this here because your videos and talks about healthy weight loss are what helped pushed me to finally put the work in and believe I can actually do it. So, I wanted to say thank you! This has been a struggle for me since my mid 20s, and I'm excited to see a change. I'm feeling really optimistic about this! 🙌 Thank you thank you!
