I hope you all enjoyed my reaction! What a trip down memory lane...Let me know if you have been here since the 2016 days and witnessed the changes to my diet and approach to food! Also I hope this video is edited ok I have never edited a reaction video before so still learning!
Started watching since 2019! You have taught me sooo much!!
I remember the days of frying in water very well!! So glad I got a chance to see you evolve so well ^^ Cheers!
Been here since june 2016💜
Been here since you had 4000 subscribers 👍🏼
I didn't subscribe until June 2017 which was the year I went vegan.
It actually makes me really happy that you have recovered so much from disordered eating that you can laugh about the bananas
not exactly a recovery. Whats comical about the bananas 🍌 >?
I liked the part of the video when you told your past self that you are not lazy. It's important that we have our past selves back and be compassionate to ourselves
Yeah I hate the narrative that we are lazy or not good enough if we don’t stick to our diets. When the reality is that diets are built and designed to fail. We aren’t lazy. It isn’t our fault that diets don’t work!
I noticed that 💔
I actually got a tear in my eye! I wish that I could go back and give my past self some of the compassion that I have for her now. ❤️
I love how you "spoke" to your younger self. With love and compassion. To me, that is true personal growth♥️
Your reaction to the bananas gets more and more funny throughout the video 😂
😂😂😂
You live and learn. We are all too hard on ourselves / our own worst critic. Love and light 🤗
I think I started watching you in that time, well some video's at least. And I clearly remember your Boulimia ED story as well which I watched a few years ago. Just found your YT channel again, was curious how youre doing now when it comes to this. I found this vid, i know its some years ago already but im so so soooo glad to hear your relationship with food is better right now!! 🙏 ❤❤
I’ve been following since this video! I remember seeing this and thinking ‘wow she’s so beautiful’ so don’t make fun of your hair! 😂❤
It’s like watching a completely different person! I’m so glad you’re happy and healthy now❤️
I know right! Thank you so much xx
Sis was really getting her 5+ a day in one breakfast 😭😭
As someone who is recovering from different eating disorder and trying to lose weight now. It’s so hard not go back to to those eating habits and watching you reflect back on you last eating habits make me realise how silly and warped my food rules were and how they’re not sustainable ways of eating. So, Thankyou! Also hilarious commentary xx
Yessss. One week ago I watched this video. And one week ago, I vowed to ditch my disordered HCLF eating habits. I’ve been happily enjoying tofu, nuts, and avocado this week to fuel my weightlifting and feel 💯 💯 better.
Just shows the kind of really intense influence that popular youtubers have on so many vulnerable minds... thank you so much for sharing your growth and talking about how you got here 💛💛💛💛
Such an intense influence! You’re welcome I’m glad I can do this and reflect!
I wasn’t vegan in 2016 but was definitely still impacted by the whole raw/smoothie obsessed culture, and it wasn’t until recently I realised how unhelpful it was for me as a teenage girl. Thank you for the honesty Madeleine, I’m glad young people now have influencers like you to look up to who promote a much healthier mindset.
I'm only half way through the video and I just want to give past Madeleine a hug... I'm so glad you have a better relationship with food now x
Hey Maddie, I’ve been here since you and Alex lived in your first flat/apartment on the channel, at the time I didn’t see this as being unhealthy either (having watched these videos when they were first published and I was still in my teens), but watching it back I can agree with you too, “it’s a mindset I don’t relate to anymore” is such a healthy mindset, it’s beautiful to see how your habits have changed and how you’ve come to find a healthier balance with so many aspects of life, it is very inspiring for your subscribers to go on self love and care journeys together, happy for you!
I needed this....thank you so so much
Love that you got them offline. There are still so many 'healthy' CZcamsrs who keep profiting of terrible diet videos from years ago. Awesome you are different!!
My heart, I feel like your past self just looks so tired constantly. So love watching your cooking videos now and the joy and energy you have with cooking now!
Your face looks so much healthier, pretty and animated. Well done.
Aww thank you so much!
"I don't wanna diet anymore, I just wanna eat food" I wish I will have the strength to say that myself one day and overcome this very exhausting Ed life! Thanks for the video, you’re amazing!!!
I don’t comment on videos, but I needed to after watching this. Thank you for being so real, you are the inspiration I wish I’d had at 18/19. I wish you so much success and I hope you talk about this forever.
Maddie you are such an inspiration to young people out there! If I watched this video when I was younger I would’ve had hope that my disordered eating habits could change 💕 also thanks for the trigger warning and loving your content atm!!
OMG. I remember this bob and fringe! it looked so good! still stunning. you are really blessed with beautiful hair
Thanks for sharing this, Maddie. So helpful to see you reflect on past disordered eating that we are all encouraged to think of as 'healthy'. I really empathise. Actually got a bit teary when you told your past self "you're not lazy". Well done on doing the work and getting where you are with food. 💜
Can I just say how inspirational this video is? I am so hard on my past self and to see you being so respectful of your past self. Also how you always have spoke the truth - even if your truth was misguided in the past.
I started watching you when you were doing WSLF. You've changed so much, in a good way. And you've also helped me A LOT with my approach to food. I have recovered from an eating disorder. This will be fun to watch. Ok, back to the video 😊
So happy to hear you've recovered also! We have come such a long way!
I just want to say that I think it's really great that you're talking about this
I think so too! So many toxic messages about health and diet still. This is great she reflects
I found your channel around the wslf days lol. I always loved your energy, but I think a lot of us were struggling back then 😅. Thank you for reviewing some of your old content and discussing it in a gentle way. Props to your courage and change of heart 😊. Balance is so important, and enjoying your food is key!
Loved this! Would be interested to hear more about how you started to eat more intuitively & gained a healthier relationship with food.
I really appreciate how you look back on your own past advice with a critical eye, and that you privated the videos. I love your recent videos!
Omfg I can’t believe we ate this way!! I remember Freelee n Durianrider telling us ‘if you’re eating properly you’ll never be hungry’ and that if you’re hungry you’re starving yourself🥴 I used to STUFF myself till it hurt thinking it was healthy. As if calorie intake isn’t a thing🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
lesson is don't listen to bloggers and you tubers for nutrition advice!
I can’t explain it but I just feel so much sympathy and empathy and have so much compassion for younger Madeleine❤️ I’m so glad to see how far you’ve come, not to say you’re in a perfect place right now, I dont know we all have good days and bad days, having a history with disordered eating also, it makes me feel so sad but also happy that we’re able to look back and reflect and appreciate and be proud of how far we’ve come. Sending so much love and would love some lunch videos! xx
Hi, Madeleine!
Thank you for this honest video. I really appreciate you trying to promote healthy and balanced eating habits, even if that means making fun of yourself now and then. I think that could be very useful for anyone.
There were and still are so many diets and lifestyles being presented to us as 'the best' or 'the healthiest', but I think every single one of us has to make a decision for ourselves taking into consideration our health and our situation so that we can better ourselves. We are always learning and adapting to what our bodies really need.
Lots of love, stay safe! 🤗 🌹
Exactly this! We are all so beautifully unique and different and that’s ok to be celebrated! Listen to your body!
So proud of you for making this video! It should be shown in schools to show young people how you can get sucked into crazy diets quite innocently and by simply trying to be healthy. I’m so glad to see you looking so healthy and happy, it’s really brought a smile to my face this morning. Much love to you, Alex and Roxie xxx
Watched this while eating tofu fried in coconut oil. Sooooo glad hclf isn't all over youtube anymore... and glad you recovered!
omg this makes me want fried tofu,,,
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It can't have been easy to watch your old videos and see how your mindset around food used to be. But you've come so far! As a person who has struggled with all-or-nothing thinking, I love that your message now is about balance and intuition. ❤️
such a healing video, thank you for sharing Maddie x
Thank you so much for posting this. I used to watch you (over a year ago) when I started becoming vegan for health purposes. I immediately found WFPB, didn't see how horribly restrictive it was at the time, and it did awful things to my ED. I had to stop watching most of the vegan YTers I was following. I also had to stop being vegan in order to heal. It's a long journey. I'm not there yet, but I'm better than I was. So today I went looking at some of my old YT faves, and I found this video. The others seem to still be in diet/health mentality, but you are not, and I'm thrilled because I absolutely loved watching you. Thank you again! :)
I've been watching your videos since 2017; I haven't been watching them as much the past few months. But I'm diving back in, and this was so nice to see. You're forever my favorite CZcamsr. Such a genuine and transparent person.
This is such an interesting video and really lovely to see a youtuber sharing reflections on their past selves in this way, so i just wanted to say thank you for making such an open and honest video! It's also really heart-warming and encouraging for me to see how much healthier a lifestyle you are living now. Content like this really helps to contextualise the other content that's seen all over the place encouraging these diets that can feel really intimidating and lower my self-esteem. Thank you!
Thank you for filming this! In the last couple of years I've really worked a ton to pivot from restrictions and aversions to intuitive eating and it's very encouraging to hear you talk about your journey. thank you!
I found you're videos when I was developing eating disordered habits and its people like you that made me realise how much I was messing up my body. This video was so cool to see how you've changed I loved it!
The glow up though! Really proud of you girlie ❤️
I don't know if you have it on the video but I do remember the DATORADE days. So glad lots of us have changed our mindset! It's great to see you healthier and happier 💚✨
Loved this video! Thanks for going down memory lane for us:)
How did Alex feel about your eating at this time? I’m a new(ish) follower and would love to hear his take too as your partner 🌼
So glad you did this video. When we see your old videos, you can really tell how much healthier you look now. Well done! ♥️
I just wanna say, this is a really really important video for me and I'm sure others who are struggling/have struggled with eating disorders. I see soooooo much on CZcams about how people have recovered or what I eat in a day videos after recovery but nothing that actually talks through problematic eating patterns/looking at old videos and identifying the problems. I know its probably triggering for some people but I find it really encouraging and its comforting to hear you talk so openly about it xxx
Loved this video! I really wish people were educated at school that we NEED to eat some fat because some vitamins are fat soluble! How can we possibly get the vitamins we need without the vessel that carries them to the right places? Sadly, I was caught up in the 'F-plan' diet years, slimming clubs, restricting calories and fats - boy has my body suffered because of it over the decades!
We MUST eat some fat. Not crappy processed ready meals full of processed vegetable oils, but good, healthy fats. Thanks for sharing! You are definitely in a much better place than you were, and look so much healthier than your younger self xx
This video is amazing, I'm touched by your honesty, thank you!
Recovery takes time, I think this really shows how much you have grown and evolved! Everyone lives and learns, you have got such a healthier mindset and outlook now, proud of you ❤️
Thank you. Thank you really for a video like this. You have come a long way and you are a true inspiration for us who struggled with the same habits. ❤️
Such a fun and yet informative video! ♥️
I loved and needed this! You are a real inspiration today.
I've been here on and off since back then. I've just resubscribed because I'm excited to see healthy relationship with food videos. I basically fear food and just want to eat well. X
Hi Maddie Sometimes it's nice to look back to see how far we've come. We have been watching you since 2016. Hugs to you from across the ocean❤
So many bananas! 😳🥴 I remember the days of trying to "fry" in water 😂
Sad times
Yay high carb hannah! I really appreciate this video, I don't know if I'm out of raw till 4's clutches yet, but it's great to see you react to your old self and to get your perspective now.
Same, I feel pretty good doing RT4, or some days RTWhenever 😉
Maddie, thank you very much for posting this. I recently stumbled onto Freelee’s channel and was sucked into the whole frugivore/raw by 4 idea (with the draw being to lose weight) and could feel it impacting me negatively. Thank you for sharing your experiences with this in such a honest, reflective way, it’s certainly given me a good reality check and yes your right, our bodies are our greatest indicator of what we need.
Maddie I love you for being this open and honest about this topic
Im 28 years old and i have struggled with food since i started puberty at age 9. This video is so helpful. I would love to watch more on intuitive eating and how you have changed your midset around food x
I loved this video! Not too long at all and can't wait to see others ☺️😉
While watching this it kinda klicked in my head - I had an eating disorder years ago, since than kinda struggling to find a balanced diet - for the longest time I always felt guilty eating chocolate, sweets etc. At the moment I’m trying the high starch one as well and while watching you speak and react to your old videos I realize that I’m restricting myself again. I have a balanced breakfast but for always coming home hungry after work cause I don’t eat enough. I’m afraid using oil, and I’m tired of eating Brokkoli with potatoes all the time.I know now that I need to change something, I don’t want to restrict myself my whole life anymore, I really want to start enjoying food again. Thank you for speaking so openly about it - it really helped me reflecting my own food choices. 💚
This video was a GREAT idea! It seems like such a beneficial video fir so many to see.
I love that you declared a trigger warning at the beginning of the video! More people should consider using them! Thank you! :)
'Only six bananas' made me laugh so much, yikes!! So good to see your growth and awareness now
I looooved this video!!! So nice to see how your views and habits changed!
This is a really good video format! It really helps to look back at our evolution. I think you looking back at your history is probably beneficial to you but also to the rest of us, your viewers. I would watch the heck out of more videos of this format, whether they're more serious like your food habits or more light-hearted like maybe looking back at your old fashion and style? Whatever you do, I loved this video, and I think it's a great and impactful idea.
Thank you for the TW. I'm not gonna watch it because of it but your comments about your relationship to food now are so heart-warming and honestly really important!
Also the background is on point, super calming and harmonious with the colours.
I am SO glad that you made this video! CZcams recently recommended your previous vid about recovering from your ED and how you discovered Freelee/that way of eating, and it really made me a little sad. I went through something similar recovering from my own ED and fell hard into the orthorexia mindset. Thank you for sharing your journey and being such an encouragement!
This was highly entertaining 😁 Gonna go watch your "why I quit diets" video again now 💓
This is such a brave and healthy video, thank yoooou
You neeeed to do more of these reaction videos 😂😂 so good
Haha it was fun!
Yes please this is so helpful to recognize my own disordered eating patterns/believes about food.
Watching your old "what I eat in day" videos has actually made me really emotional. Having struggled with disordered eating myself, I can see so many similarities. It feels crazy thinking back to my past diets and realising the damage I was doing to myself (mentally and physically). I'm so happy that you're doing what's best for you 🤍 Thank you for such an important video.
Same. I needed to see this video because it made me realize I have a problem.
I'm very proud of you for this content.
I really liked this video, and you have really helped me to look at food in a more positive way. Would you consider doing a video about how you changed your mindset from seeing food as good/bad to just seeing food as food? It seems like such a simple thing, but it isn't!
Ive been around since the hairstyle💇♀️👌😍
Awww thank you so much for sticking around!
@@MadeleineOlivia thank you so much for all the lovely videos! I think it is incredible to see how we all evolve over time, I think this reviweing old video is espacially interesting and we can learn much from that! Much love ❤️
When I found your videos, what made me subscribe was the fact that you used oil. I was starting to delve into minimalism and vegan CZcams, and you were definitely the least extreme and the most down to earth
Only discovered you in 2019, but I went and watched your old food videos, and I love the way you approach food now in contrast to those videos ❣️💙💜💕!! You're an inspiration and a big reason why I eat more vegan food!!
This makes me so happy thank you!
I love the fact you have grown and learnt a lot in the past few years and now decided to share with others what and why went wrong there :D We really need to get rid of the diet culture mentality and stop assigning ourselves to all the different "diet camps" on social media - time we started to lead sustainable and healthy BUT non-restrictive lifestyles! Kindness is a big thing in veganism and we shall be kind to ourselves (and not make food rule our lives) as well!
.
Anyways, watching this was not only a lot of fun but also a great reminder about what really matters in food.
Stay safe and have a wonderful rest of the week Madeleine!
Oh my god, this took me BACK! HCLF was such a wild ride, I used to be on the massive smoothie train and brown rice only, and it's crazy how relaxed I am now a days. Loved this - reminded me of how crazy CZcams was in 2016 haha.
i thought u were talking to me when making the oil comment and i was scared lol
My eating has changed and developed for the better over the past 4 years and I can think back to some times that my eating habits were just horrendous. I’m so glad that I’ve learned how to listen to my body and eat in a healthy way. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone. Thanks for being one of the creators that has helped me learn along the way!
Great video. Thanks for sharing, it really made me smile 😁
Baby Maddie was trying her best. 🖤
Oh wow, I wasn’t a viewer of yours back in 2016, but I was right there with you on the freelee, HCLF, raw til 4, frying with water, misery bus. I love this video. It’s so important to normalise changing our viewpoint, and holding ourselves accountable. And you did that in such a kind, humorous way. You can see how you’re so much more in tune with yourself now. 😊
"And the lady in the supermarket asked me if I worked in the monkey sanctuary when I had all the bananas" honestly tickled me more than it should. And wowwww how many bananas!! 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🤣🦧🐒🐵 Great video, balanced and honest 🙂💓❤
Good that you can look at yourself with compassion, frankness and self love. Onward. Tuning in to your body every second is so key to well being. Blessings.
this hits hard, the frying in water, the potato and rice oh my
freelee owes us all an apology honestly
when did people realise and stop eating like her btw?
you have your own brain 😂
She has turned many people into veganism, myself included. She does talk about animal suffering a lot. Why should she apologized to anyone.
@@joannasz2345 her brand of veganism isn't exactly balanced, and has led many into disordered eating.
@@juliak7065 She broke up with her partner who she made videos with in 2016 and moved to the jungle in South America, around then went quieter and lost relevance, if I remember rightly. I think that coincided with veganism becoming a lot more mainstream in 2017-18, and people could and wanted to eat 'normal' and accessible products and meals
I loved this video! Didn't we all fall for the trap of 'healthy eating' back then. I totally recognize the replacing your eating disorder with other disordered eating, so happy I got out of that trat and allow myself to really eat whatever I (truly) want. By the way, what lipstick are you wearing? It's gorgeous!
Thank you so much for this video! I have so much respect for you for not leaving those videos on your channel and for calling out your old disordered eating behaviours. I’ve been through a similar journey with an eating disorder, “recovering” from it, then spiralling into a WFPB strict oil free diet way of eating. Life is so much better cooking things with oil and actually eating them too!! Like I used to feel so jealous of my family eating shop bought biscuits or things I’d baked while I just snacked on fruit. I’m so much happier and feel so much better in myself now that I eat the biscuits and actually have a balance of all (vegan) foods. Also recently had proper pesto with oil not homemade oil and salt free stuff and it’s so much better. I stopped watching lots of youtube because I didn’t want to just watch what I eat in a day videos because theres just too much comparison there that I don’t think it’s ever healthy or helpful, but I’m starting to get back into your videos as you rarely post what I eat in a days anymore and I love your content. It’s nice to have someone to watch on CZcams with a healthy relationship with food. ☺️
OG subscriber here, I remember these videos! When I first went vegan, it was during the hclf era too, these meals are so similar to what I was eating in my early 20s. And I can totally empathize with feeling hungry but experiencing guilt about snacking because of volume of carbs I was eating at my meals. Lovely video as always Madeleine! Sending love from western Canada.
Freelee will call you out and say you still didn’t eat enough 🤣 you should have put 30 dates in that smoothie and then you wouldn’t feel hungry 😂
Oh believe me I tried hahaha I ate so much food the calories if I counted them would have been so high!
😂😂
@@MadeleineOlivia You ate 'soooo' much yet you claim you were always starving. lol. Make it make sense maddie please. Common sense whoosh! 💨 Appears you are still in the mentality of starvation and seeking validation.
@@sevehrsevehr6001 it is certainly possible to feel hungry even if you meet your caloric needs.
@@user-vq5nz6yk1h How is that ?
Loved this video. So happy for you and how far you’ve come. Did you notice how much you tripped over your words in the old clips? Maybe it’s because you were not as comfy filming, but I feel like your brain/body was just running on empty.
I really appreciated this video
I love this setting! :)
The sugar 🤣 ah the Durianrider days 🙄🙄🙄
I struggle with finding good lunches to eat as well, it’s my least favorite meal too. I would love if you created a video based on different lunches. I’m currently swapping out unhealthy food choices for healthier ones and your videos have been a big help! Thank you and congrats on all the improvements you’ve made in your food journey!
I definitely remember watching these videos back in the day! I was definitely inspired by hclf/wslf myself at the time but I could never fully commit so it was mostly just eating lots of rice and potatoes and frying my food in water. I would love to see you reacting to your Thailand trip videos, I remember all the people in Chiang Mai at the time just making videos of the loads of fruit they bought, haha.
