I live under a rock. So I had no idea who Daisy Keech was. But I have never had SO MANY requests to react to an influencer in real life before, as I had for Daisy. Why? I don't know! Maybe because she has millions of loyal followers, maybe because she is 'body goals', maybe because she seems perfect? Let's be real guys - no one is perfect. NO ONE. Not me, not you, not Daisy. We're not dolls! We're human beings, and no one looks the same in real life as they do on Instagram. We can't all walk around with a permanent filter, sucking our bellies in and contorting our bodies into flattering angles in real life. How awkward would that be lol.
Daisy is a stunner in real life. But she's still a real human being. Let's remember that!

Okay. So why are we picking this girl apart? If there’s such an issue here, just leave it alone. Who cares if she looks different on Instagram vs in real life. Most people do. And yes, if you want to look like her, you can not eat a lot. It’s not realistic at all, but it’s a choice that we are all entitled to make. Just like drinking alcohol or smoking…your body your choice, doesn’t mean it’s good for ya. Pick your battles.

I agree. She's making bad choices for herself, and I believe that's the point of this video: to show that no, that is not a good choice for many many reasons, just like smoking or using other drugs. But doesn't make her a bad person. She didn't create the diet mentality and probably suffers herself a lot with it. So what are we battleling here? Her?

The thing about diet and fitness culture is that everyone's bodies are vastly different from their height, to their weight and even your very own DNA. Someone else's diet or fitness routine can possibly make you very ill because of these factors, it works for them but that doesn't mean it'll work for you. There's also the fact that some people aren't entirely transparent, they also heavily edit their pictures before sharing it on social media.

I'm a picky eater and I hate vegetables but I try to eat some every chance I get. I replaced snacks with fruits and whenever I have cravings, I would drink water until I feel full. I did all this without working out and lost weight (the results really shows in 6 months), I still allow myself to eat whatever I want (in moderation), no suffering needed. Although at some point I did exercise to help myself get fit because I'm a student who sits on the chair all day.

It is so refreshing to see you focus on health, loving the body you are in and treating it well. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I need this.

[@stephanielange]

It has come to my attention that perhaps the paparazzi pictures of 'Daisy' in the black shorts is not Daisy, but a different influencer. It's hard to say, as some websites claim the pictures are of Daisy, and some say they are of someone else. When I was researching for this video, many apparently reputable websites were claiming these photo were of Daisy, hence why I included them in the video. Now as I am not an investigative journalist, I can't say for sure whether it's her or not, so either way as there is doubt, I am removing this section from the video. Perhaps Daisy does have a waist that is as small as her head?

[@kat7047]

Maybe if she had some ribs removed. I was a size double zero and weighed 100lbs when I was 20 and I’m 5’6. I have a very petite skeleton and had a crazy fast metabolism and never had a waist that small.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

When she was making her smoothie video, you could see her waist, and it wasn’t as tiny as her photos. I’m confused why she doctors her photos but then shows her real waist in her videos? I don’t understand why people follow these types of people. But, I’m also in my mid 40s, and I mostly just don’t care about worldly things anymore (so freeing!). Stephanie, you are such a hero for bringing women back to reality and helping them to not compare themselves or be “influenced” by these influencers who are sadly very bad role models. Much love to you! ❤️

[@anitamarie7258]

She certainly does not, daisy is definitely fit and skinny but that does NOT mean she doesn’t photoshop the hell out of her photos. If you have ever watched videos of her on her channel you can see her waist is not the same as it appears on instagram. Also, it’s not hard to tell when a waist is altered to look a size that in unrealistic lol.

[@kiwi_ki681]

If anything that just really shows how many "influencers" are like copy and pastes. Can't even tell the difference between them anymore.

People not understading why you make these videos should not be a concern to you. We love your content and not everybody is going to love it, sadly. However, I think you make a great job showing us the reality of these influencers. Keep up with the good job, no matter what Stephanie

[@lucindalaree4666]

I’m so happy to hear you discussing this. As a fitness professional for over 35 years, a former gym owner for 25 years, a NASM Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Behavior Modification and Nutrition Coach, AthleticTrainer and Master Yoga Teacher I couldn’t agree with you more. This unrealistic standard is destroying our young women! Eating like this is considered a Disorder! She is not getting enough macro or micro nutrients to be healthy much less build healthy muscle! She’s at risk for sarcopenia or muscle wasting which will set her up for many health issues down the road!

THANK YOU. SO glad you addressed the eating issues we face in our culture as women!! We're so pressured into being under nourished, overworking ourselves, and eating WAY less than what is supportive for our bodies. And we wonder why we have so many hormonal issues! I recently discovered how undernourished I was, and realized how much better I feel now that I'm not starving myself! My anxiety and stress levels went wayyy down as well. It was amazing.

[@harurin_]

I had the smallest and flattest stomach last year, i felt so so pretty and everyone praised me. I even had 2 lines on my abs like kpop idols. But i was also losing my hair so much, my nails will just break all the time and i didn’t have my period for over a year. I have went to the doctor and gained some weight now. And now i can see that i was severely under eating at that time. I only had 2 boiled eggs everyday for a whole year, only had black coffee as my ‘breakfast’, avoided carbs like crazy and workout 2hrs a day every single day. It’s still really really hard now because even my family would say i looked the prettiest that time and ask me when I’m going to lose my weight back frequently. It’s crazy how i feel so ugly at a normal healthy weight and felt so pretty when i was severely underweight.

[@BreezyNici]

I sympathize with you. My mom always says I looked my best at my thinnest but I was undereating to the point I would get dizzy and had to sit down. I wasn’t at a healthy mindset at that time so it’s annoying to hear: you shoudl get back to that weight 😒😒🙄

[@magneticmoonstone]

I’m currently suffering from compulsive overeating and trying to be more easy on myself, so this video is really helpful. I can’t enjoy the gym and I really hope to find a way of exercising and eating without pressure and EDs… I stopped praising myself for the days with calorie deficit and try not to feel guilty for non-sport days. It all started a long time ago during the pandemic, exactly when I started watching fitness influencers. I hope we all can heal from such an unhealthy attitude towards ourselves, good luck to anyone who also struggles with it ❤️

[@hippiegirl113]

Wait. I never knew how damaging this was. I followed those “eat with me videos” thinking that I would have abs and a tiny waist. I’d be so hard on myself when I couldn’t follow an insane workout plan that was very demanding for someone new to fitness. Then I would watch the “I tried the ….diet and workout for a week” and boom! I felt worse bc I saw that they had results from something I gave up on. I feel like you helped me recognize and validate that experience. Those videos had millions of views, I can’t imagine how many women felt bad about not being able to stick to the diet/workout

[@hissirenprincess619]

You are such an amazing KZbinr, you are literally saving so many people (both women and men) from following dangerous lifestyles and undergoing dangerous surgeries As somebody who experienced both fat shaming and skinny shaming it's so weird for me now that body standards have changed and people say how amazing my body is and how they ask me how i got curves on my thighs (thunder thighs) And guys used to bully me all the time for my looks and now they are so creepy (not all of them of course) My boyfriend was and is the only one who truly loves me whether I'm skinny, fat or thicc And it's kind of ironic how a former "friend" of mine told me that a guy could never fall in love with me because i look like a slut, I was 15-16 And now i am almost 22 and i have the most loving and protective boyfriend ever No matter what people do or say, you matter Every single good human being matters Let's pay attention to our happiness and our health, beauty standards will keep changing no matter what Can't we all just love our bodies and ignore what others say?

i used to watch her when i was deep down in my ed last year. it was really bad and i thought that this was a normal amount of food. i was so used to seeing influencers eating this little and it took so much time and effort to unlearn it. i still struggle with knowing how much is one portion is sometimes but im getting there. videos like this helped me a lot, thank you stephanie

[@oliviamohning7095]

Look up the Mifflin-St Jeor formula! It tells you fairly accurately how many calories you should eat to maintain a certain weight. That could be your current weight, or a goal weight. Obviously make sure you feel healthy. Daisy Keech doesn't look unhealthy to me, but she definitely doesn't look like someone who only eats a slice of toast and a small smoothie every day. Unless that smoothie has some hidden calorie weight gainer powder that she's not talking about. Or she snacks. I'd be very skeptical that she's only eating toast and smoothie for breakfast and lunch. I'd be skeptical of any influencer. Just disregard their "diets." I'm thin, and I eat waayyyy more than these girls do. There's just no way their diets are real.

The majority of followers are men. Hence why she like all IG influencers start to transition to lingerie or more bikini content. Girls and women get bored and then look for a new person with new content while men subscribe and keep following their feed bc its just a semi pornographic hit. The whole everyone looking the same is no coincidence. They are all mimicking the features of sex dolls and bj type porno images. Girls/women do not realize this and try to conform to the racoon eyes and bee stung puffy lip Kardashian look.

I know it might sound crazy, but get rid of the scale for a while. Don't weigh yourself every day, or even every week. I don't weight myself 5 days before my period or during my period. I can swing 8-12 lbs from the week before to the week after, it is mostly all water weight and mostly in the stomach area. Just worry about how your clothing fits, if it is getting a little tight, then worry about eating a little less. Make sure your meals are balanced, I eat 2500(or more) calories a day, but I only about 20-25% of that is carbs, the rest is protein, healthy fats and fruits/veggies. I do use an app to keep track, but only to make sure that I eat enough and I get enough macro nutrients in my diet. I waisted all my middle school and HS days(11 to 17) focusing on what the scale said, starving myself and stressing to fit into a size 0/2. Spoiler alert: my body was not meant to be that small, I am naturally muscular and larger chested/hips/tights. A size 4/6 on me is small. I stay a 6/8 now that I'm in my mid 30s and have had a child, and I'm not starting and miserable all the time. I'm sure it isn't easy growing up in the Instagram/tik tok world now, but judt remember that your body has to last you for a long time, so be good to it. I messed my teeth up btwn not eating properly and then getting cancer at 19. I've spent the last 5 years having teeth removed, root canaled, crowned, filled and now I'm looking into getting partial dentures until I hsve to hsve them all removed and have implants(which will coat about $20k). No one told me about all the horrible long term effects of starving yourself. I hope you doend a little time and look into the long term effects, and see that it isn't worth it. The inky thing that got me to stop was meeting other girls who had completely ruined their bodies permanently. An ED took up so much of my life and time that I wish I coukd get bsck. I don't hsve any pictures of myself from 14 to 20 and my mother only has a few, because I though I was so fat I couldn't stand to have them taken. Not even prom or senior pics! I got some head shots done for my mom but that was it. I'm not trying to scare you, just trying to have you see a little bit of the other side. I don't know you, but I know I want you to be happy with you. I wish you the best in life! I hope everyday is a good day, full of happiness! Too many people are unhappy and it makes the world a darker, sadder, scarier place. I hope you can be one of the people who try to be happy everyday. I try everyday, I don't always succeed, but I try my best.

@@funsizedi88 First let me say I appreciate your comment very much and reading it was very helpful and eye opening. I am very sorry to hear about all of your struggles but am thankful you are in a better place mentally! You are a very wise and compassionate person, especially for sharing your story to uplift others and help them avoid some of the hardships you went through. I am trying hard not to let my weight be such a primary focus in my life. You’re so right about all of it, it’s not worth it. Mentally or physically. None of what you said sounded crazy at all!

I really needed this. THANK YOU🫶🏼❤️

AMEN to you again, Steph! Thank you for continuing to spread this (lifesaving!!) message

[@enyaschoche751]

Stephanie I absolutely love hearing you talk about nutrition, it makes me realize there’s more to eating than calories, my health is also important and should be a huge priority! Thank you so much for the video, always makes me feel like I’m okay and that’s pretty great so keep up the amazing work 👏

[@serenideehope]

I like these videos alot. It makes me feel so much better to know that even celebrities and influencers struggle with their body images!

[@MayPolish]

Usually I'm not the person who leaves a comment but your content is super important and I really like and appriciate your opinion. It's so important to talk about those things so young women can understand that their bodies are perfactly fine how they are and if they want to be a bit more toned or to lose wight they have to eat! So glad that slowly the idea of girls "shouldn't be eating" or "eat just a tiny bit" is changing and you're explaning it amazinglly so thank you for that.

[@coranhieronymuswimbletonsm254]

6:51 everything you said about nutrition especially pertaining to influencers' impact on how we eat and how we perceive what we eat was fantastic. Keep it up!!

[@w.2978]

girlie you look SO PRETTY today!!! i love how brown hair compliments ur face you look gorgeous 💗

[@hannahjacksonayers7187]

Pausing at 6:30 to say thank you for showing footage of you being relaxed! You that you are such a gorgeous woman & so much thinner than I, but when you sit down your stomach isn’t perfectly toned looking and you have cellulite. After being convinced as a child that I needed to look like a vs model to be truly beautiful & be loved, hearing you say over an diver that cellulite is normal & how everyone has rolls with they relax has helped me heal my Brian. You are healing brains girl😅❤️ I just want you to know that you are helping me & other women love being normal & accepting that our bodies can still be beautiful after children & with age❤️

[@dianalong6563]

I absolutely appreciate you! Thank you for keeping things honest! Keep putting out content that will remind younger adults that what you “see” isn’t necessarily what you get. It’s important to be your best self because that’s enough.
