Yeah although it’s unnecessary to say but I’m 13 and get a lot of crap from people saying I’m weird and crazy for being vegetarian and that “Oh she just lives off of lettuce”. There is still a lot of options
*Today I learnt that there is a difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and get away with it. Dietitians are accredited and regulated. This lady here is a nutritionist. The issue with that is that a nutritionist is not required by any law or oath to be scientifically accurate.*
Actually, some nutrionist a prefer the title because of the negative association with the word diet. My nutrionist has her bachelors of science as well as extra health classes she takes to keep up to date with current knowledge. And she calls herself a nutrionist because she believes diets are unsustainable. Instead nutrional plans cater to the individual to help them make slow life changes until they reach a sustainable place.
I have 2 nutritionists and they work in hospitals in oncology wards however I am in Canada. This "nutritionist" is trying to sell a lot of pills and fads
The problem is not with the nutritionist it's with the governments because they don't recognise nutritionist/naturopaths in high regard, therefore anyone (even your dog) can call themselves a nutritionist and get away with it. Doesn't mean that people who go to uni to specifically study those things aren't smart or use scientific evidence. As someone who is at uni studying those things, believe me when I say there is so much scientific evidence.
Yep yep. I thought about becoming a Registered Dietitian for a bit, the curriculum is very science-focused and you need to have a degree and a year long residency. RDs are legit, nutritionists like this lady have not credentials.
Aryiana Moore No, Registered Dietitian is a credential, like Registered Nurse. Your nutritionist can’t call herself a dietitian because she has not earned that credential. Not because she thinks it sounds bad... but she sure has you fooled! Lol
Hello! Nutrition major here on the way to (hopefully) becoming a dietician. This is a fair warning for anyone considering taking some of the things listed in her meal plans. 1) Probiotics should not be supplemented if you’re getting enough probiotics from natural cultures found in natural yogurt and or products like kimchi 2) Digestive enzymes should ALSO not be supplemented unless you have a preexisting condition (lactose intolerance). Our body specifically releases enzymes at different points in digestion, and eating digestive enzymes basically inactivates them in our stomach due to stomach acid. 3) OMG do not take anything marketed as oxygen that is just... absurd. I hope this helps :)
So what are the benefits of taking probiotics? Like what does it do for your body? Rather ask someone with a degree (or almost) than read more bullsh*t articles
so what are the benefits of taking probiotics?? like, what does it do for your body?? rather ask someone with (almost) a degree than read more fake articles.
@@mopbuckets4734 From what I've read on scientific studies, basically most probiotics don't do that much? Like, at least in Europe the only beneficial effect that has been shown is that the bacteria in yoghurt help digest lactose in lactose intollerant people. I know I'm not an RD or studying to be one, but I do happen to have some courses on it. So take my advice as you will.
i know right! when she said she couldn’t have a donut kinda made me sad because her goal was to have a heathy relationship w food and the person made her cut out food.
This nutritionist acts like the only thing that's healthy to eat is a salad. There are plenty of healthy meals you can eat that are cooked and don't feel like rabbit food! Especially with the vegetarian recipes. I'm a vegetarian and I hardly eat uncooked food. It's no wonder people can't sustain these diets. They're miserable!
Right? And you can remake unhealthy foods into healthy foods. Like mix some fruits, some yogurt/milk and water, put it in the freezer and you have healthy ice cream. Its basically just joghurt and fruits; healthy and good
She doesn't know any better I'm guessing. That or she's a scammer. It's also why she calls herself a "nutritionist" instead of a dietician. I don't know for sure how it is in the US but in Europe and Britain you may only call yourself a dietician if you took the college education to prepare for it. It's a protected term. That's why people who aren't an actual dietician call themselves "nutritionists" and "nutrition-experts" etc.
BRANDON DAVIS it just seemed like she chose mostly raw food for them to eat. It was mostly salad, or smoothies or salmon. There's plenty of other healthy options.
Rick EU what if I was struggling with my weight and I was becoming anorexic and you triggered me to eat nothing. Sending hate can be serious so just don’t do it and it doesn’t make you look hard it just makes you look sad. Btw 🖕
This was really weird cause again I feel like it perpetuates the idea that a vegan diet is difficult and inaccessible? I've been vegan for nearly 4 years now and the only supplements I take are B12 - essential - and vitamin D because I live in the UK and most of us are deficient. No bloating or problems with tiredness, not to mention I seldom eat salads. This nutritionist seemed like she was mostly trying to peddle her supplement range.
I agree with you 100%! I'm not vegan, cause ugh, but I know you can do real nutritious vegan food and it's not that hard. You just have to be more educated about the actual nutritional content of food. Eating salads is not a nutritionally balanced diet. I'm glad to see vegans calling bs on fad veganism.
I’m a real fitness professional and this “nutrition” advice is literally trash. The girls struggled with the advice because it was way over the top and didn’t fit their lifestyles and seemed all about getting these girls to eat less, which is NOT the point of healthy eating. Did she cut dairy because she suspected pcos? Is she changing their bedtimes because of some vague understanding of TCM? Does she understand what candida is and that it doesn’t care what color your apple is?? I wish major publications would be more responsible with their health content. If you try a program like this and fail, it’s NOT YOU. (I never comment on terrible internet fitness advice, but this video really got to me because of the comments I saw and because I, too, wasted years of my life trying “celebrity” workouts and diets, only to get bigger and less fit and more frustrated with myself.)
She keeps emphasizing "the bloat" which seems very visual and superficial to me. Yes, sometimes bloating is because of improper diet, but it can because of your period, or I know I have a small frame and tend to "bloat" after I eat just because my stomach physically fills out a bit.
Nisha yes, and real, persistent bloat can be a symptom of something that requires attention from an MD. I feel like we use “bloat” to describe the fact that no one, not even models, sits around with chiseled, glistening abs 24/7. Women of childbearing age have bodyfat. Women with bad lower back posture have a “pooch” in their lower abs (their words, not mine).
Exactly. She says it isn’t about dieting and numbers, but she cut out everything they typically eat and had them eat plant based. Which is fine if that’s what you preach that you recommend. It was too strict. However, I’m not a nutritionist. It was unrealistic for a long term lifestyle if that isn’t remotely how they ate to begin with. And yeah...that candida thing was weird. I’m all about balancing flora and fauna, but her reasoning is weird. Sugar is sugar and fruit has sugar, in differing amounts, but still.
Tiny Fitness Same, I mean yes, she kinda/sorta help them to have healthier eating habits but I think the advice she givea is very generalized and more hype driven than scientifically based
I don't think this is right. Drinking your calories is not recommended. And ALL THOSE PILLS. That's not worth it. No real dietitian is gonna give you something you can't make a habit out of. This may work as a short term diet, but not as a lifestyle. Next time you should bring in someone not for their name, but for their knowledge.
And also it’s healthy to eat whole foods like she mentioned but you shouldn’t have to (for example ur goal is to debloat) cut away everything and eat pills to do so. Carbs and meat are good too.
Probiotics are normal to recommend that even doctors, nurses etc recommend them. And she added the digestive enzymes because of their previous diets. Two of the girls that had digestive issues that indicate that their digestive tract was struggling to break down what they consume.
@@comprendersi1444 The point though is to get your probiotics through food, not by popping a supplement. They also need to increase the amount of gut bacteria in their bodies to help them digest food and that should be done through the food they eat.
“It isn’t about dieting”.....but cut out everything you typically eat, eat salads, have a green smoothie. Eat plant based. But it’s not a diet! 🙄 suuuuuuure.
taking someone that is not vegan/plant-based and does not want to be and making them be so for 3 months, definitely is a diet, and a fad diet at that. Basically all they were eating was salads anyway, which is a horrible way to introduce someone to a plant-based diet plan.
I ate similar to that for about a year, which is more sustainable. I still stick with a lot of those ideals, but in a more flexible way, which is the goal. I'll have pancakes, fries, tacos, and things at restaurants that aren't as strict as they made it look while still eating all plants and mostly whole foods. I can't do all whole food in winter because there are no plants growing here, but it's the idea of reducing packaged goods with added sugar and other things that aren't as important as we often feel.
I wish that Buzzfeed would bring in a Registered Dietitian (RD) in for the next of these videos rather than a "celebrity nutritionist"; anyone can be a nutritionist, but it takes years of physiology, biochemistry, and research education to become an RD -- I'm in my 5th year of education towards that certification right now. Many of the recommendations in this video promote yo-yo dieting and the diet plans don't actually seem to be tailored to each of the ladies, but rather are just slight variations in a veganism-style "cleanse diet" push. Overall, the diets are what I would call "fad diets" because they don't promote sustainably-changed lifestyles due to their strictness and mode of implementation. I enjoy y'all's videos, but Buzzfeed, if y'all really care about giving your audience "news and entertainment worth sharing with their friends, family, and the people who matter in their lives" give them medically-sound, health-promoting content, not content that promotes orthorexic behaviors.
As someone also going through this certification process, I feel the exact same way! Honestly, using nutritionists in so many of their videos confuses the public (by giving varied advice that likely isn’t appropriate research-based practice) and degrades the worth of real RDs.
Agreeeeeed. The “nutritionist” label means nothing in the US. I really want an RD to come in too. Unfortunately it probably wouldn’t make for good content because they’d just tell them the same diet guidelines we’ve all know.
I lost it when I saw she was having them take "detox" supplements. I'm also not sure why I watched, lol. I've already been to an RD, and she said my eating habits were pretty good.
Lydia, I think you missed my point. Yes, even dietitians can promote orthorexic behaviors, but veganism isn't actually what I had an issue with. It's the "cleanse-style" of diet that is not supported by research or necessary for the body. Veganism can be okay, for people interested in pursuing that lifestyle for moral or health reasons, however being a healthy vegan requires a significant amount of planning and education beyond what was presented in this video. My main concern is with a number of her specific recommendations that are not supported by research to be sustainable or healthy for the long-term. I do wish BuzzFeed would hire dietitians, there are plenty of dietitians that I disagree with, but at least the bulk of their recommendations are typically sustainable. Hiring "nutritionists" for these videos devalues the years of education and training that we do and delegitimizes dietitians as healthcare professionals.
Did anyone notice how MUCH pills they have to take. Is this normal for a nutritionist to have you take this many pills? Shouldn't she give advice on what foods to have etc. to decrease bloating, not recommending pills?
niki v you don’t need to take pill if you’re getting the proper nutrients , pre and probiotics aren’t bad for you but you shouldn’t have to take pills just to stay healthy
She probably did give them that advice it's just not in the video. Switching to more whole foods and eliminating the processed food was one example of how to address bloat through their diet. Also, they were just taking probiotics and then a digestive enzyme which isn't really a big deal at all.
Well, she calls herself a "nutritionist" instead of a dietician. I don't know for sure how it is in the US but in Europe and Britain you may only call yourself a dietician if you took the college education to prepare for it. It's a protected term. That's why people who aren't an actual dietician call themselves "nutritionists" and "nutrition-experts" etc. Anyone can call themselves that and peddle their own brand of vitamin pills or shakes or whatever. If you eat properly and you have no medical condition you shouldn't need any vitamin pills or whatever.
Bad nutritionist recommend a bunch of pills, you should be able to get all the right vitamins and nutrients from your food with help from pills. All those pills are a meal themselves
Yeah you guys failed on this video. We shouldn’t encourage restriction and shaming other types of foods. As someone who is recovering from an eating disorder, this is shocking and disappointing. I hope others do not see this and compare their food to this video. A “healthy relationship to food” does not mean shaming yourself for having a donut.
Alleria Sunfury thank you! Yes! 2 years ago I would have watched this and went “oh this is what I’m supposed to do”. And I know others could do the same.
TheCheeseburger141 There’s a huge difference between bringing in more whole foods into your meals versus dieting on just whole foods. This video encourages restriction and absolutely no satisfaction. In terms of shaming, shaming essentially means “I am bad”, which is how individuals talk all the time about food on social media. There’s no shame in having one donut, enjoy it, and move on. But society and this video shames eating a donut. Plus the nutritionist said don’t eat a bar, eat a whole fruit. Don’t eat a red apple, eat a green apple. This is how my ED started, and that’s why I’m so against this type of messaging.
I agree. I don't know why I keep watching videos from this channel; the last one I saw was about that woman trying to fit into her too-small wedding dress and I unsubscribed after that because it was so harmful.
cec I’m glad to hear you moved away from toxic content. It’s not easy to do sometimes. I agree with you, to filter through content especially buzzfeed videos. I watch the Unsolved series so maybe that’s why they pop up in my suggested videos.
Nice that you brought in a "nutritionist". Next video, bring in a registered dietitian, since anyone can call themselves a nutritionist even if they know exactly nothing about nutrition. If you're going to promote healthy eating, do it with proper medical professionals, not new agey woo-mongers.
Definitely agree! I'm not currently qualified, but going into my 3rd year studying dietetics; and I personally don't agree with a lot of the diet advice given. As a dietitian you don't only get taught how food can affect your body, but also how to implement behaviour change. Watching this video, I feel as though the nutritionist introduced dramatic changes to each of the girl's diets, which can be unmotivating reflected in the 'slip-ups'. In addition, I don't think the girls should be made to feel bad for these 'slip-ups'; treats and one-offs are perfectly fine and healthy in moderation. I also think the diet plans given were quite restricted with 'salads' and is in no way necessary; healthy eating does not mean all smoothies, salads, and pills, and teaching this could even promote eating disorder behaviour. Healthy eating shouldn't be a chore, food can be healthy AND enjoyable if done right. This is just my personal opinion though and again I'm not qualified as of yet.
Getting the vibe that half of these women have eating disorders but they can do what they want so whatever. It's also odd that they hired a nutritionist instead of a dietician, as literally anyone can be a nutritionist through bs online courses where as dieticians are actually registered in scientific organisations.
Not sure about other states but in arizona you have to go to college for 4 years to be a nutritionist so I dont think that's really fair to say, just like anything else research who you're going to
Annabel Summer Right. I'm not vegan but I am more like vegetarian, and it's not about salads you need SUBSTANCE. That's why that girl woke up hungry at 4 am
Did she literally go into extreme detail for Jazz's foods and do NOTHING with the other two girls' meals?? Only talked about meditating, their phone, pills, and smoothies??? Jazz gets a meal plan, they got lifestyle advice. You've gotta be kidding me.
Kaalyn - OPG i think its because in the past she has never stuck to these eating/lifestyle changes and has always quit so she needed more of a mental change than the other girls
Courtney G -- That contradicts what I said though. Jazz got very specific food instructions to start, the other two were only given lifestyle tips and pills. The other two complained of GI issues, eating fast food, etc etc, but Jazz was the only one told what to eat and how at first. It seemed pretty evident as to why.
Kaalyn - OPG pretty sure they all got the same plan, but they wouldn’t show her telling each girl the same things three times lol, each girl seemed to have the same smoothie, lemon water, salads and such.
Kaalyn - OPG Jazz is a strong independent woman. If this nutritionist was in any way selective she would not have taken that sh*t. Glad you got her back though.
I think it's the editing. Notice all three immediately change the way they eat. Later in the vid, they talk about diet changes. Mitch Miller, Jazz has used all those qualities to avoid some issues - look back at some of the stuff she has said in the past. Also, the nutritionist needs to be selective because each of them have different nutritional needs to get healthy.
it seemed like there was very little 'custom' about these. all hot water and lemon, green drink, salads, cut out dairy, and go vegan. all the latest fads.
cutting out dairy, salads and hot lemon water aren't the latest fads but age old good advice for a healthy diet.... I wouldn't call going vegan a fad either, but that most certainly has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, so yea I suppose its somewhat a fad. However non of these girls went vegan, they went plant based. Eating plant based is also age old healthy advice. Green drinks are a fad, their also disgusting xD
Yep - she put them on the diet from her book, which is part of “it’s not a diet” diet fad 🙄 and note that their probiotics were her brand. She’s a salesperson not a registered dietician 🤦🏻♀️
I would like to see next time a real nutritionist/diet person who has studied for real and knows things for example can explain why change green apple and why the person goes no dairy and like changing parts of your life but still feeling like it's your life and not that the food becomes routines. I don't like celebrity diets or those as they seem like something you do for a week and and then give up because it has made food inti a boring task that isn't even enjoyable.
BuzzFeed stop choosing “nutritionists” for these videos and start hiring Dietitians! People who actually went to school for nutrition and are required to be registered and licensed. Dietitians are medical professionals who use evidence based approaches. Anyone can be a nutritionist... and they don’t even have to know anything about nutrition or the human body.
Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. It's not a protected title. Why don't you use dietitians who are the only qualified nutritional experts with at least a 3-4 year degree specialising in nutrition? 'A Wellness expert' is just a load of crap.
I was already side-eying this “nutritionist” from the beginning, but the second she mentioned “candida overgrowth” 🙄 she was canceled. I stopped the video. What a quack.
Just wondering why do you think candida overgrowth means she's a quack? I get recurrent yeast infections all the time and I just assumed it was because of candida overgrowth and an imbalance of my gut enzymes....
Yeast infections are a real medical problem, but smoothies to fix "candida overgrowth" is pseudoscience. Snyder and other quacks claim that a wide assortment of common ailments are caused by chronic systemic candida infections and that special diets can "cleanse" your body of it. They also tell people they have candida overgrowth and need to do this diet without any science-based medical diagnosis. That's quackery. Nutritionists should not be giving any kind of advice on microbial infections or encouraging self diagnosis. Recurrent yeast infections should be diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
Water detoxes and dilutes saturated fats and salts and added sugars which those 3 can cause water "weight gain" and heart problems as well as other health concerns. Not just that you have to exercise 15 minutes to 1 hour daily. Not a dietician but I had to go through a dietary program for 3 1/2 years to help me lose some weight and be healthier. I'm way much better than I was 3 1/2 years ago.
Anyone can all themselves a "nutritionist", it's not a protected title, unlike dietician, which you can only use if you have the college diploma. Nutritionists are almost always hacks, frauds and quacks, who usually have some kind of pill or shake or book to peddle. This one seems no different.
This video gave me an off feeling, especially after watching the whole thing and reading the comments. The nutritionist didn’t explain why she gave them each their diet and besides that, they all basically stuck to the same diet without adding in factors like weight, body type, taste in food, etc. Plus she only recommended meditation, which is good, but even just small exercises in the morning and at night could have helped out their bodies. They didn’t need to cut their diets soo small and lackluster. If they ate enough of the good stuff and did a little exercise everyday they would have been even healthier. And plus you can achieve whatever those probiotics and pills promised easily and naturally without needing to enforce those into your diet. In all these diets were bad and didn’t suit each individuals needs. Rip these poor buzzfeed gals
Right as soon as I heard "nutritionist" and not "dietitian" and then saw the word "detox"...like....there are people who literally go to school to learn all about how to eat right and this crazy lady is not one of them.
Jasmin м she is literally prompting orthorexia. Just because she is wanted all over LA does not mean she is a dietician. A dietician would never tell someone to cut out food. They would put someone on a meal plan to get them to a healthy weight for themselves. I’ve seen this. I’ve been in and out of ed programs for the past few years. The people in the programs with BED are put on a maintenance meal plan to help them get to a healthy weight. Literally no rd would ever recommend a diet like this.
A c̶e̶l̶e̶b̶r̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶n̶u̶t̶r̶i̶t̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶i̶s̶t̶ quack gives people c̶u̶s̶t̶o̶m̶i̶s̶e̶d̶ quack diets. I fixed the title for you. Also change it back to Boldly.
I am so appreciative of Jazz on these videos about diet, exercise, or other "healthy" behaviors. I'm really struggling with having a healthier relationship with food and Jazz constantly brings me back to that by saying it over and over again, reminding me that it's the real goal underneath any arbitrary "diet mentality" goal that I think will make me happy.
I'm honestly more concerned for Jas! As someone who has had eating disorders it's very reckless to do fad "diets" or "lifestyles" but I'm sure she had talked to her therapist and doctor about it.
And you still need good genes and no accidents and such. And many people live to hundred and behind without having best diet so thinking you are guranteed a hundred if you follow supper restrictive diet just isn’t realistic.
changing diets is always a journey, it will definitely have ups and downs but the important thing is that, they are adjusting their diets and being mindful of what is revitalizing instead just sticking to food that's convenient and fast. the idea that these ladies decided to take the plunge for change while adjusting and realizing such changes is possible is already a huge step to a healthier, greener lifestyle. they can always be their sweet to sassy, effing beauty standards while adapting a healthier intake of diet. keep it up ladies!
I need to know : does this nutritionist recommend taking digestive enzymes as a regular basis ? It seems so extreme to me and just an unnecessary thing to sell to people
cam iniature Probiotics are harmless and can aid in salvaging your gut flora, so you'll eventually lose weight/get stronger stomach/better your immune system. Pretty much everything else in this video is somewhat dubious though.
cam iniature i obviously dont know if she did recommend them to be taken after the 3-month mark, but it would make sense if she made it a point for them to take those enzymes during those 3 months while following her other instructions to really balance out the body and the digestive system! That was kind of the point of the enzymes, especially for those who were dealing with significant bloating. It's definitely not necessary to take those enzymes once your body has adapted and gone back to a healthier level, they simply help in the initial process~
Kristen Chu I would have loved to know her recommendations on "what about after these three months" to be sure she wasn't selling her 35$ /month not FDA approved digestive enzymes ^^
Room temperature water is less irritating for your stomach, especially right after waking up, and it might be easier to drink the whole glass quickly that way. The lemon water is mostly cause lemons have a huge amount of vitamin C, and the bright taste can help you feel more energised after waking up. (Also hot water with lemon does taste pretty darn good.) I guess it was also a sneaky way to get them to get more water into their systems :D
What I never get is why Buzzfeed has so much unhealthy snacks and lunches? Do they want there employees to have bad eating habits so they can make videos like this? (I like these kinds of videos tho haha)
I think u should do what makes u happy. Changing ur entire life style for a video really? Jazz looked so tired at the end, I felt like that woman didn't really do a good job, she just told them to do what would have been good for her not them. I also applaud the chick who got chickfala and Taco Bell, ur now my personal hero 😂
Queenie Indigo it’s the so delicious coconut milk yogurt. You can find it at a lot of grocery stores, I get mine from Whole Foods, Meijer, or Plum Market. 💜
When I saw the zoodles from the nutritionist’s pictures I just knew she doesn’t know what she is talking about.I think this can lead to orthorexia or binge eating.There is nothing wrong with having something “unhealthy “ every now and again .Also she is doing the exact same thing with every girl and on top of that she looks underweight.Next time please bring a dietitian
I am SO happy that this video focused on the overall and greater benefits of eating healthy and sleeping earlier instead of focusing on the physical results. Whenever i go on a health kick I’m always looking at my stomach and my skin to see improvement but i forget to appreciate the fact that i have energy and feel more positive and productive.
drinking your food is a no no, there's more than salads & stop with the freaking pills omg. sleep and drink enough water and that changes a lot already...
This video is the best in the series of fitness/nutrition challenges. This one actually has people who are trying to explore with their challenge (despite it being difficult) and there is less of a complaining “I didn’t do the challenge today” vibe. While I’m all about transparency and honesty, any “meh I feel like crap, not doing the challenge” moods make it really hard for me to want to finish the video
Get headspace!!! It's a really good meditation app and I love doing it every day right before I go to sleep or when I wake up if I need it. It really has helped me reduce my stress and make better and more thought out decisions
This was so awesome to watch! It was quite refreshing to see three different women on very different wellness paths. I enjoyed the sheer honesty in their journeys. Watching them fall short sometimes, but get back up was something the blogs and fitness magazines fail to share. I want to switch up my diet and cleanse and detox!
Im currently on my health journey and its such a rollercoaster. Like last week i went to the gym for 5 days and i ate mostly plant based foods and now as im watching this im making mac and cheese and telling my friend i cant go to the gym tonight. Like you just have to be patient and stay motivated!
There is no reason to cut out dairy unless you have a sensitivity to it. You don't need digestive enzymes since our body naturally produces them. You also don't need probiotic pills when you can just eat yogurt... I'm not a dietician but I am a RN and and true medical professional wouldn't recommend pills, cutting dairy, mainly salads and a vegan lifestyle if not necessary.
Talia P Dairy contains nothing in it that you can't get from plants--like the cows do. Most people benefit from cutting it out because it's basically acidic fat.
carrotopgrl you're not a cow. Cows have 4 chamber stomachs and their stomach acid is pretty neutral unlike humans, which is pretty acidic. Also we do not have the bacteria nor the other parts of a cows digestive system to break down cellulose, or even absorb plant food efficiently.
Live how you guys wanna live, I'm just saying there are ways to be healthy while eating anything you want in moderation. Whether you eat meat, dairy, vegan, vegetarian, doesn't matter as long as you get all your nutrients, eat balanced, exercise, and be happy 😊 also, treats in moderation are a must in my opinion so you don't go crazy lol
Thick Boy we can absorb plant foods efficiently just not really “woody” veggies that have a lot of cellulose (aka fiber! Which we need for a healthy colon) because it works our intestines. Meat, dairy, potato diet has very little fiber and essential vitamins and minerals we need through plant foods. Our body metabolizes vit/min. so much better than taking them through supplements
I noticed that through the months, Jazmines face got so clear, and she was more focused. Same with the other girls but I'm so proud of them! They deserve the best for themselves.
i REALLY appreciated this "spring board" type of tutorial on how to ease your way into a new healthy lifestyle. especially when the volunteers of this experiment admit that they've experienced set backs on their journey but that "its ok" and so long as you continue to mk the effort to get back in the saddle and mk a concerted effort to change your life for the better, that you shouldn't beat yourself up for being human
Hi People scrolling down the comments I hope you're having a wonderful day and you know that your beautiful deep down inside even if you don't think so!
Diet and exercise takes often years to show big results. I only started seeing results after 2 months, and they were small; only i knew that there even was a change
sym I never said I did . I like there content and if I was a hater than I wouldn't be watching there videos I just think they should be creating different content instead of doing the same thing
I got so excited to know that I have her book and LOVE IT! Met a girl a couple years ago in Barnes & nobles and told her I was writing a research paper on vegetarianism and she showed me this book! Love it!
As a vegan this upsets me in ways I can’t explain. It’s ridiculous that this ‘expert’ immediately forced her stupid pills & lemon water (??????) AND the fact that she didn’t let them ease into becoming vegan. Buzzfeed please get a LICENSED dietitian.
Oh shut upppppp it’s a reference from multiple videos she’s in lol she just doesn’t seem to follow rules No one mentioned her eating disorder Go eat butthurt on another comment section pls
Its not a reference, its just you being rude and tbh a litlle toxic~ specially with this agressive reaction on Hayley. Jazz is doing her best, i think we all need to respect that :)
I see the same and I'm not judging her on her struggle with ED. Why someone who has ED isn't already seeing a dietician for help is beyond me. But Jazz had a habit of complaining about and not participating in any videotape that requires her to change, even temporarily. She reverts back to whatever she is used to. Maybe that's also a struggle for her. But meanwhile maybe featuring someone more open to change would help people get more out of the video.
My strategy when trying to eat healthy is this: Whenever I want to eat something I ask myself, “Is this good for me? What is it doing for me and to me? Would i get mad at myself for eating this later? And am I only eating this because I am too lazy to make something else? If the answers to these questions are bad then I don’t eat it. It has helped me so much.
I lost weight when I started weighing my food. I only allowed 1.5 pounds of food per day (before adding liquids), then gradually went down to 1 pound per day. It made it easier to cut out carbs and meat since they tend to be heavier and forced me to incorporate more veggies
Okay, I am a registered, certified, licensed Dietitian. I work in a hospital as a Clinical Dietitian and have been for almost 3 years now. I do NOT want to sound mean, but I want to clear the air. There are some good points in this video and I'm happy that the girls feel much better about their relationships with food, but there were a lot of negatives for me in this video on how to achieve that happiness. First of all, in a nutrition consultation, we would not include meditation or putting down phones in our recommendations. We would recommend healthy lifestyle changes, but we would not go into specifics, since that's not our area of expertise. Food experts talk about food. A different professional would discuss mental health, meditation, specific exercises, etc. Second, why add the probiotics and enzymes, and other pills? Sauerkraut has natural probiotics, so what's the point? We Dietitians would not recommend pills or short cuts in a diet plan. We are going to provide you with lifestyle changes, not short-term fixes. Eat whole foods that have natural probiotics and prebiotics (so one second you are preaching the "whole foods" thing, but then the next you give them a pill? Just eat the whole foods). Now if you have an issue with your pancreas and you need enzymes to help digest your food, okay. But as far as I can see, these women are perfectly healthy and capable of digesting their foods without needing enzymes. Gut health is very important, yes, but you can achieve that by eating whole foods and adapting healthy lifestyle choices. Third, being healthy is SO much more than just eating salads. Variety in a diet is awesome! Yes, I push whole foods and everyday I preach to cut the chips out. But you can have regular pasta noodles, eat certain foods in moderation, and still enjoy life! The power is within the choices. Also, going vegetarian or vegan just for a few weeks is not the best way to go. If that is a lifestyle choice you want to take, have at it. I support the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. But to use them as quick fixes or like fad diets? Not quite right. You miss a lot of key nutrients when you cut out certain animal foods/products that are vital for your energy production and metabolism. If you are going to take this lifestyle change and go vegetarian/vegan, then please supplement those missing nutrients with other food choices, or at the very least, take a multivitamin (that would probably be the only pill I recommend). Fourth, where was the exercise component? Granted, exercise is not our area of expertise, but since this "nutritionist" is recommending other specific habits, why not mention exercise? Exercise is a critical part of health! Move that body! Fifth, there is also the topic of portion control. People know they need to eat the salad, but then they eat a salad that could feed three people. (sorry to use salad as an example, but I hope that it makes sense). Portion control is an issue that needs to be addressed too! Lastly, PLEASE for the love for everything good and Holy, hire a Registered Dietitian for the next video! "Nutritionist" is a term that literally anyone can take; my dog can take it! It is not regulated by the government. An RD (Registered Dietitian) is someone who went to school for a long time and had to pass a REALLY hard exam to get that credential, just so they can teach about foods. I am really sorry that this message became a novel and if I sounded harsh, but there is a LOT of mis-information out there in the world when it comes to food. Registered Dietitians have the responsibility to set the record straight. I am only here to let the company and the viewers know that being healthy doesn't have to be this "all or nothing" mindset. Moderation is key.
I'm with you Ishan. I ate a fat juicy burger with three kinds of peppers and spicy cheese yesterday and quite frankly, it would have made for a solid last meal. I'd have died smiling and satisfied.
stupidest sentiment to live by - you'd develop chronic illness, not just drop dead (at least not right away) and be like aw at least i had a good time. lol
I loved this video so much. I really appreciate the length of time you ladies have this life style change. It is very relatable and realistic for us viewers. Thank you for all your efforts and keep us posted on the changes you've continued with. 💓💓👍🏻
I would have liked for the nutritionist explain why she chose the meal plan for each person
Celia B Probably because of the problems they listed on the beginning
I wasn't sure why she was "prescribing" probiotics. There has been no clear evidence on this. Also room temp water??
Van Bich Nguyen its not like it’s a drug
I agree. But randomly using supplements= waste of money without clear benefits....
Probiotics just aid digestion. I see a gastroenterologist and she recommends everybody take probiotics like how people take multivitamins
A vegetarian diet doesn't equal only eating salads😂
I would throw my diet in trash if I had to eat just salads, I need a good warm meal to feel good! Salad doesn't do it for me, it just makes me mad.
Yeah although it’s unnecessary to say but I’m 13 and get a lot of crap from people saying I’m weird and crazy for being vegetarian and that “Oh she just lives off of lettuce”. There is still a lot of options
Linn Hallén Same girl😆 There’s so many delicious and nutritious vegan recipes out there🙌🏽
I have salad as a side dish. Not as a main.
i've been veggie for years and have not touched a salad the whole time. you just cook regular meals but take out or replace the meat and/or dairy
*Today I learnt that there is a difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and get away with it. Dietitians are accredited and regulated. This lady here is a nutritionist. The issue with that is that a nutritionist is not required by any law or oath to be scientifically accurate.*
Actually, some nutrionist a prefer the title because of the negative association with the word diet. My nutrionist has her bachelors of science as well as extra health classes she takes to keep up to date with current knowledge. And she calls herself a nutrionist because she believes diets are unsustainable. Instead nutrional plans cater to the individual to help them make slow life changes until they reach a sustainable place.
I have 2 nutritionists and they work in hospitals in oncology wards however I am in Canada. This "nutritionist" is trying to sell a lot of pills and fads
The problem is not with the nutritionist it's with the governments because they don't recognise nutritionist/naturopaths in high regard, therefore anyone (even your dog) can call themselves a nutritionist and get away with it. Doesn't mean that people who go to uni to specifically study those things aren't smart or use scientific evidence. As someone who is at uni studying those things, believe me when I say there is so much scientific evidence.
Yep yep. I thought about becoming a Registered Dietitian for a bit, the curriculum is very science-focused and you need to have a degree and a year long residency. RDs are legit, nutritionists like this lady have not credentials.
Aryiana Moore No, Registered Dietitian is a credential, like Registered Nurse. Your nutritionist can’t call herself a dietitian because she has not earned that credential. Not because she thinks it sounds bad... but she sure has you fooled! Lol
Hello! Nutrition major here on the way to (hopefully) becoming a dietician. This is a fair warning for anyone considering taking some of the things listed in her meal plans. 1) Probiotics should not be supplemented if you’re getting enough probiotics from natural cultures found in natural yogurt and or products like kimchi 2) Digestive enzymes should ALSO not be supplemented unless you have a preexisting condition (lactose intolerance). Our body specifically releases enzymes at different points in digestion, and eating digestive enzymes basically inactivates them in our stomach due to stomach acid. 3) OMG do not take anything marketed as oxygen that is just... absurd.
I hope this helps :)
So what are the benefits of taking probiotics? Like what does it do for your body? Rather ask someone with a degree (or almost) than read more bullsh*t articles
Valerie Nova question, do you have to become a nutritionist first before being a nutrition dietician? Thanks for the info btw!
so what are the benefits of taking probiotics?? like, what does it do for your body?? rather ask someone with (almost) a degree than read more fake articles.
@@mopbuckets4734 From what I've read on scientific studies, basically most probiotics don't do that much? Like, at least in Europe the only beneficial effect that has been shown is that the bacteria in yoghurt help digest lactose in lactose intollerant people. I know I'm not an RD or studying to be one, but I do happen to have some courses on it. So take my advice as you will.
Thank you! Knew this was nonsense but glad to get some knowledge otherwise
I feel bad for Jazz, she wanted to develope a healthy relationship with food and this lady made her eat only salad. That’s not right.
i know right! when she said she couldn’t have a donut kinda made me sad because her goal was to have a heathy relationship w food and the person made her cut out food.
Shila needs to post her updated hair routine. Her curls looks so good!
This nutritionist acts like the only thing that's healthy to eat is a salad. There are plenty of healthy meals you can eat that are cooked and don't feel like rabbit food! Especially with the vegetarian recipes. I'm a vegetarian and I hardly eat uncooked food. It's no wonder people can't sustain these diets. They're miserable!
Right? And you can remake unhealthy foods into healthy foods. Like mix some fruits, some yogurt/milk and water, put it in the freezer and you have healthy ice cream. Its basically just joghurt and fruits; healthy and good
She doesn't know any better I'm guessing. That or she's a scammer. It's also why she calls herself a "nutritionist" instead of a dietician. I don't know for sure how it is in the US but in Europe and Britain you may only call yourself a dietician if you took the college education to prepare for it. It's a protected term. That's why people who aren't an actual dietician call themselves "nutritionists" and "nutrition-experts" etc.
Yes i agree 👏👏👏👏
BRANDON DAVIS it just seemed like she chose mostly raw food for them to eat. It was mostly salad, or smoothies or salmon. There's plenty of other healthy options.
I agree, for example chicken you can make 100’s of ways to switch it up and it’s healthy you know? These weren’t that great
Me at the start of the week: 🍏🍉🍐🍇🍊🍓🍋
Me at the end of the week: 🍟🍔🌭🍕🌮🌯🍝
Kirsty .x me too. Monday-Friday is healthy-ish, the weekend is junk food and alcohol
That's why you're fat
Rick EU what if I was struggling with my weight and I was becoming anorexic and you triggered me to eat nothing. Sending hate can be serious so just don’t do it and it doesn’t make you look hard it just makes you look sad. Btw 🖕
Maybe you just need to eat more throughout the week so you aren’t tempted to binge on weekends
Same boo same
This was really weird cause again I feel like it perpetuates the idea that a vegan diet is difficult and inaccessible? I've been vegan for nearly 4 years now and the only supplements I take are B12 - essential - and vitamin D because I live in the UK and most of us are deficient. No bloating or problems with tiredness, not to mention I seldom eat salads. This nutritionist seemed like she was mostly trying to peddle her supplement range.
I agree with you 100%! I'm not vegan, cause ugh, but I know you can do real nutritious vegan food and it's not that hard. You just have to be more educated about the actual nutritional content of food. Eating salads is not a nutritionally balanced diet. I'm glad to see vegans calling bs on fad veganism.
👏 YES 👏 GIRL. *Yes*
i bet this nutritionist is a scammer
I’m a real fitness professional and this “nutrition” advice is literally trash. The girls struggled with the advice because it was way over the top and didn’t fit their lifestyles and seemed all about getting these girls to eat less, which is NOT the point of healthy eating.
Did she cut dairy because she suspected pcos? Is she changing their bedtimes because of some vague understanding of TCM? Does she understand what candida is and that it doesn’t care what color your apple is??
I wish major publications would be more responsible with their health content. If you try a program like this and fail, it’s NOT YOU.
(I never comment on terrible internet fitness advice, but this video really got to me because of the comments I saw and because I, too, wasted years of my life trying “celebrity” workouts and diets, only to get bigger and less fit and more frustrated with myself.)
She keeps emphasizing "the bloat" which seems very visual and superficial to me. Yes, sometimes bloating is because of improper diet, but it can because of your period, or I know I have a small frame and tend to "bloat" after I eat just because my stomach physically fills out a bit.
Nisha yes, and real, persistent bloat can be a symptom of something that requires attention from an MD. I feel like we use “bloat” to describe the fact that no one, not even models, sits around with chiseled, glistening abs 24/7. Women of childbearing age have bodyfat. Women with bad lower back posture have a “pooch” in their lower abs (their words, not mine).
Exactly. She says it isn’t about dieting and numbers, but she cut out everything they typically eat and had them eat plant based. Which is fine if that’s what you preach that you recommend. It was too strict. However, I’m not a nutritionist. It was unrealistic for a long term lifestyle if that isn’t remotely how they ate to begin with. And yeah...that candida thing was weird. I’m all about balancing flora and fauna, but her reasoning is weird. Sugar is sugar and fruit has sugar, in differing amounts, but still.
Tiny Fitness Same, I mean yes, she kinda/sorta help them to have healthier eating habits but I think the advice she givea is very generalized and more hype driven than scientifically based
"Does she understand what candida is and that it doesn’t care what color your apple is??"
I don't think this is right. Drinking your calories is not recommended. And ALL THOSE PILLS. That's not worth it. No real dietitian is gonna give you something you can't make a habit out of. This may work as a short term diet, but not as a lifestyle. Next time you should bring in someone not for their name, but for their knowledge.
And also it’s healthy to eat whole foods like she mentioned but you shouldn’t have to (for example ur goal is to debloat) cut away everything and eat pills to do so. Carbs and meat are good too.
Mechi vk I think she was trying to help them recover from the fast food and chip diets they were on.
She's a nutritionist not a dietitian. A dietitian would not recommend these types of diets.
Probiotics are normal to recommend that even doctors, nurses etc recommend them. And she added the digestive enzymes because of their previous diets. Two of the girls that had digestive issues that indicate that their digestive tract was struggling to break down what they consume.
@@comprendersi1444 The point though is to get your probiotics through food, not by popping a supplement. They also need to increase the amount of gut bacteria in their bodies to help them digest food and that should be done through the food they eat.
“It isn’t about dieting”.....but cut out everything you typically eat, eat salads, have a green smoothie. Eat plant based. But it’s not a diet! 🙄 suuuuuuure.
Eating plant-based is normal, not a "diet."
Kris Wu Yifan considering none of them choose to eat plant based diets in their typical daily lives, it is absolutely a diet plan/change for them.
taking someone that is not vegan/plant-based and does not want to be and making them be so for 3 months, definitely is a diet, and a fad diet at that. Basically all they were eating was salads anyway, which is a horrible way to introduce someone to a plant-based diet plan.
BRANDON DAVIS A diet just means the way you eat. They are changing their diet. You understand?
I ate similar to that for about a year, which is more sustainable. I still stick with a lot of those ideals, but in a more flexible way, which is the goal. I'll have pancakes, fries, tacos, and things at restaurants that aren't as strict as they made it look while still eating all plants and mostly whole foods. I can't do all whole food in winter because there are no plants growing here, but it's the idea of reducing packaged goods with added sugar and other things that aren't as important as we often feel.
I wish that Buzzfeed would bring in a Registered Dietitian (RD) in for the next of these videos rather than a "celebrity nutritionist"; anyone can be a nutritionist, but it takes years of physiology, biochemistry, and research education to become an RD -- I'm in my 5th year of education towards that certification right now. Many of the recommendations in this video promote yo-yo dieting and the diet plans don't actually seem to be tailored to each of the ladies, but rather are just slight variations in a veganism-style "cleanse diet" push. Overall, the diets are what I would call "fad diets" because they don't promote sustainably-changed lifestyles due to their strictness and mode of implementation. I enjoy y'all's videos, but Buzzfeed, if y'all really care about giving your audience "news and entertainment worth sharing with their friends, family, and the people who matter in their lives" give them medically-sound, health-promoting content, not content that promotes orthorexic behaviors.
As someone also going through this certification process, I feel the exact same way! Honestly, using nutritionists in so many of their videos confuses the public (by giving varied advice that likely isn’t appropriate research-based practice) and degrades the worth of real RDs.
Agreeeeeed. The “nutritionist” label means nothing in the US. I really want an RD to come in too. Unfortunately it probably wouldn’t make for good content because they’d just tell them the same diet guidelines we’ve all know.
I lost it when I saw she was having them take "detox" supplements. I'm also not sure why I watched, lol. I've already been to an RD, and she said my eating habits were pretty good.
Well a lot of dietician are biased too so say she was a vegan dietician would you still be like it’s orthoexia
Lydia, I think you missed my point. Yes, even dietitians can promote orthorexic behaviors, but veganism isn't actually what I had an issue with. It's the "cleanse-style" of diet that is not supported by research or necessary for the body. Veganism can be okay, for people interested in pursuing that lifestyle for moral or health reasons, however being a healthy vegan requires a significant amount of planning and education beyond what was presented in this video. My main concern is with a number of her specific recommendations that are not supported by research to be sustainable or healthy for the long-term. I do wish BuzzFeed would hire dietitians, there are plenty of dietitians that I disagree with, but at least the bulk of their recommendations are typically sustainable. Hiring "nutritionists" for these videos devalues the years of education and training that we do and delegitimizes dietitians as healthcare professionals.
Did anyone notice how MUCH pills they have to take. Is this normal for a nutritionist to have you take this many pills? Shouldn't she give advice on what foods to have etc. to decrease bloating, not recommending pills?
niki v you don’t need to take pill if you’re getting the proper nutrients , pre and probiotics aren’t bad for you but you shouldn’t have to take pills just to stay healthy
She probably did give them that advice it's just not in the video. Switching to more whole foods and eliminating the processed food was one example of how to address bloat through their diet. Also, they were just taking probiotics and then a digestive enzyme which isn't really a big deal at all.
Well, she calls herself a "nutritionist" instead of a dietician. I don't know for sure how it is in the US but in Europe and Britain you may only call yourself a dietician if you took the college education to prepare for it. It's a protected term. That's why people who aren't an actual dietician call themselves "nutritionists" and "nutrition-experts" etc. Anyone can call themselves that and peddle their own brand of vitamin pills or shakes or whatever. If you eat properly and you have no medical condition you shouldn't need any vitamin pills or whatever.
I think she was just trying to sell her products. All the pills she recommended are from her brand.
Bad nutritionist recommend a bunch of pills, you should be able to get all the right vitamins and nutrients from your food with help from pills. All those pills are a meal themselves
All I can see is how far Shila's curls have come! Girl we see you with them curls poppin!
Yeah you guys failed on this video. We shouldn’t encourage restriction and shaming other types of foods. As someone who is recovering from an eating disorder, this is shocking and disappointing. I hope others do not see this and compare their food to this video.
A “healthy relationship to food” does not mean shaming yourself for having a donut.
Alleria Sunfury thank you! Yes! 2 years ago I would have watched this and went “oh this is what I’m supposed to do”. And I know others could do the same.
they aren't shaming the other foods, they're just foccused on eating whole foods. Which is what the majority of your diet should exist of, not donuts.
TheCheeseburger141 There’s a huge difference between bringing in more whole foods into your meals versus dieting on just whole foods. This video encourages restriction and absolutely no satisfaction.
In terms of shaming, shaming essentially means “I am bad”, which is how individuals talk all the time about food on social media. There’s no shame in having one donut, enjoy it, and move on. But society and this video shames eating a donut. Plus the nutritionist said don’t eat a bar, eat a whole fruit. Don’t eat a red apple, eat a green apple.
This is how my ED started, and that’s why I’m so against this type of messaging.
I agree. I don't know why I keep watching videos from this channel; the last one I saw was about that woman trying to fit into her too-small wedding dress and I unsubscribed after that because it was so harmful.
cec I’m glad to hear you moved away from toxic content. It’s not easy to do sometimes.
I agree with you, to filter through content especially buzzfeed videos. I watch the Unsolved series so maybe that’s why they pop up in my suggested videos.
5:20 she said she broke the nutrition plan but look at the poster behind her 😂😂 she clearly couldn’t do it 😭
Wow sooo many likes
I was gonna comment that 😔
Chelsea lol 😂
She's like me. She needs an outside thing to remind her that she can do it because in real life she can't.
Shila’s natural hair is literally the most beautiful thing ever
Nice that you brought in a "nutritionist". Next video, bring in a registered dietitian, since anyone can call themselves a nutritionist even if they know exactly nothing about nutrition. If you're going to promote healthy eating, do it with proper medical professionals, not new agey woo-mongers.
LynxChan yesss I agree!!
especially if she looks to be a little underweight herself...
Agree 👍
Totally true!
Definitely agree! I'm not currently qualified, but going into my 3rd year studying dietetics; and I personally don't agree with a lot of the diet advice given. As a dietitian you don't only get taught how food can affect your body, but also how to implement behaviour change. Watching this video, I feel as though the nutritionist introduced dramatic changes to each of the girl's diets, which can be unmotivating reflected in the 'slip-ups'. In addition, I don't think the girls should be made to feel bad for these 'slip-ups'; treats and one-offs are perfectly fine and healthy in moderation. I also think the diet plans given were quite restricted with 'salads' and is in no way necessary; healthy eating does not mean all smoothies, salads, and pills, and teaching this could even promote eating disorder behaviour. Healthy eating shouldn't be a chore, food can be healthy AND enjoyable if done right. This is just my personal opinion though and again I'm not qualified as of yet.
Getting the vibe that half of these women have eating disorders but they can do what they want so whatever. It's also odd that they hired a nutritionist instead of a dietician, as literally anyone can be a nutritionist through bs online courses where as dieticians are actually registered in scientific organisations.
AliceAndZoeAreTwins yes gorl, preach.
Jazz is recovering from an eating disorder actually. Don't know the point of pointing this out but w.e
AliceAndZoeAreTwins 🙌
Not sure about other states but in arizona you have to go to college for 4 years to be a nutritionist so I dont think that's really fair to say, just like anything else research who you're going to
Genevieve Ramirez a lot of states don’t have that. California is one.
if this nutritionist is promoting a plantbased diet with salads, she is doing it wrong
Josefine_Juriston exactly, I'm vegan and that is so stupid, they needed a dietitian not a celebrity idiot
Annabel Summer Right. I'm not vegan but I am more like vegetarian, and it's not about salads you need SUBSTANCE. That's why that girl woke up hungry at 4 am
Yeah and she’s basically shaming non-plant foods.... like no, you should eat from every food group if you can
Did she literally go into extreme detail for Jazz's foods and do NOTHING with the other two girls' meals?? Only talked about meditating, their phone, pills, and smoothies??? Jazz gets a meal plan, they got lifestyle advice. You've gotta be kidding me.
Kaalyn - OPG i think its because in the past she has never stuck to these eating/lifestyle changes and has always quit so she needed more of a mental change than the other girls
Courtney G -- That contradicts what I said though. Jazz got very specific food instructions to start, the other two were only given lifestyle tips and pills. The other two complained of GI issues, eating fast food, etc etc, but Jazz was the only one told what to eat and how at first. It seemed pretty evident as to why.
Kaalyn - OPG pretty sure they all got the same plan, but they wouldn’t show her telling each girl the same things three times lol, each girl seemed to have the same smoothie, lemon water, salads and such.
Kaalyn - OPG Jazz is a strong independent woman. If this nutritionist was in any way selective she would not have taken that sh*t. Glad you got her back though.
I think it's the editing. Notice all three immediately change the way they eat. Later in the vid, they talk about diet changes.
Mitch Miller, Jazz has used all those qualities to avoid some issues - look back at some of the stuff she has said in the past. Also, the nutritionist needs to be selective because each of them have different nutritional needs to get healthy.
it seemed like there was very little 'custom' about these. all hot water and lemon, green drink, salads, cut out dairy, and go vegan. all the latest fads.
cutting out dairy, salads and hot lemon water aren't the latest fads but age old good advice for a healthy diet.... I wouldn't call going vegan a fad either, but that most certainly has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, so yea I suppose its somewhat a fad. However non of these girls went vegan, they went plant based. Eating plant based is also age old healthy advice. Green drinks are a fad, their also disgusting xD
Kathy Johnson yes, this is all just the crap from her “Beauty Detox Diet” books. It’s not at all “custom”
That's literally what it takes really
Less carbs, less dairy, more veggies. That's it
Yep - she put them on the diet from her book, which is part of “it’s not a diet” diet fad 🙄 and note that their probiotics were her brand. She’s a salesperson not a registered dietician 🤦🏻♀️
I would like to see next time a real nutritionist/diet person who has studied for real and knows things for example can explain why change green apple and why the person goes no dairy and like changing parts of your life but still feeling like it's your life and not that the food becomes routines. I don't like celebrity diets or those as they seem like something you do for a week and and then give up because it has made food inti a boring task that isn't even enjoyable.
nea rauhala n
So happy for them that they all feel healthier now. Kimberly is amazing!
BuzzFeed stop choosing “nutritionists” for these videos and start hiring Dietitians! People who actually went to school for nutrition and are required to be registered and licensed. Dietitians are medical professionals who use evidence based approaches. Anyone can be a nutritionist... and they don’t even have to know anything about nutrition or the human body.
This nutritionist was the worst, with her obsession with digestive enzymes pills, lemon water, and avoiding carbs
Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. It's not a protected title. Why don't you use dietitians who are the only qualified nutritional experts with at least a 3-4 year degree specialising in nutrition? 'A Wellness expert' is just a load of crap.
yeah you can even get a degree online....
I was already side-eying this “nutritionist” from the beginning, but the second she mentioned “candida overgrowth” 🙄 she was canceled. I stopped the video. What a quack.
Just wondering why do you think candida overgrowth means she's a quack? I get recurrent yeast infections all the time and I just assumed it was because of candida overgrowth and an imbalance of my gut enzymes....
Ollie A or maybe you don't wash? Hmmmmmm😱😩🔫
Ollie A also its a quack buzzword, same thing with "toxins''.
Yeast infections are a real medical problem, but smoothies to fix "candida overgrowth" is pseudoscience. Snyder and other quacks claim that a wide assortment of common ailments are caused by chronic systemic candida infections and that special diets can "cleanse" your body of it. They also tell people they have candida overgrowth and need to do this diet without any science-based medical diagnosis. That's quackery.
Nutritionists should not be giving any kind of advice on microbial infections or encouraging self diagnosis. Recurrent yeast infections should be diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
What does your doctor say?
Agh... she used the word detox. I'm out.
Patrina McBride lol right? Gotta “detox” all those “toxins” so you can be “cleansed”. Woo woo!
Kelly Scott I'd be like... Thanks, but I'm good... I got me some top of the line kidneys and liver... pre-installed!
Water detoxes and dilutes saturated fats and salts and added sugars which those 3 can cause water "weight gain" and heart problems as well as other health concerns. Not just that you have to exercise 15 minutes to 1 hour daily. Not a dietician but I had to go through a dietary program for 3 1/2 years to help me lose some weight and be healthier. I'm way much better than I was 3 1/2 years ago.
No dairy, salads and pills? What kind of nutritionist is she?
Anyone can all themselves a "nutritionist", it's not a protected title, unlike dietician, which you can only use if you have the college diploma. Nutritionists are almost always hacks, frauds and quacks, who usually have some kind of pill or shake or book to peddle. This one seems no different.
This video gave me an off feeling, especially after watching the whole thing and reading the comments. The nutritionist didn’t explain why she gave them each their diet and besides that, they all basically stuck to the same diet without adding in factors like weight, body type, taste in food, etc. Plus she only recommended meditation, which is good, but even just small exercises in the morning and at night could have helped out their bodies. They didn’t need to cut their diets soo small and lackluster. If they ate enough of the good stuff and did a little exercise everyday they would have been even healthier. And plus you can achieve whatever those probiotics and pills promised easily and naturally without needing to enforce those into your diet.
In all these diets were bad and didn’t suit each individuals needs. Rip these poor buzzfeed gals
Please get an RD and not an internet hippie.
Vannah true
Jasmin м What she's advising has no scientific backing, or isn;t catered specifically to each person's need.
Right as soon as I heard "nutritionist" and not "dietitian" and then saw the word "detox"...like....there are people who literally go to school to learn all about how to eat right and this crazy lady is not one of them.
LOL right!!!
Jasmin м she is literally prompting orthorexia. Just because she is wanted all over LA does not mean she is a dietician. A dietician would never tell someone to cut out food. They would put someone on a meal plan to get them to a healthy weight for themselves. I’ve seen this. I’ve been in and out of ed programs for the past few years. The people in the programs with BED are put on a maintenance meal plan to help them get to a healthy weight. Literally no rd would ever recommend a diet like this.
A c̶e̶l̶e̶b̶r̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶n̶u̶t̶r̶i̶t̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶i̶s̶t̶ quack gives people c̶u̶s̶t̶o̶m̶i̶s̶e̶d̶ quack diets.
I fixed the title for you.
Also change it back to Boldly.
I am so appreciative of Jazz on these videos about diet, exercise, or other "healthy" behaviors. I'm really struggling with having a healthier relationship with food and Jazz constantly brings me back to that by saying it over and over again, reminding me that it's the real goal underneath any arbitrary "diet mentality" goal that I think will make me happy.
Am I the only one that thinks Jasmines highlight is POPPIN?
I'm honestly more concerned for Jas! As someone who has had eating disorders it's very reckless to do fad "diets" or "lifestyles" but I'm sure she had talked to her therapist and doctor about it.
Shila! Your curls are looking so good! I'm definitely going to use some of these bloat tips!
This video is getting a lot of flack.... 2 mins in I know why
Sure, you can live to be a hundred if you give up everything that makes you want to live to be hundred
And you still need good genes and no accidents and such. And many people live to hundred and behind without having best diet so thinking you are guranteed a hundred if you follow supper restrictive diet just isn’t realistic.
changing diets is always a journey, it will definitely have ups and downs but the important thing is that, they are adjusting their diets and being mindful of what is revitalizing instead just sticking to food that's convenient and fast. the idea that these ladies decided to take the plunge for change while adjusting and realizing such changes is possible is already a huge step to a healthier, greener lifestyle. they can always be their sweet to sassy, effing beauty standards while adapting a healthier intake of diet. keep it up ladies!
I need to know : does this nutritionist recommend taking digestive enzymes as a regular basis ? It seems so extreme to me and just an unnecessary thing to sell to people
cam iniature Probiotics are harmless and can aid in salvaging your gut flora, so you'll eventually lose weight/get stronger stomach/better your immune system. Pretty much everything else in this video is somewhat dubious though.
cam iniature i obviously dont know if she did recommend them to be taken after the 3-month mark, but it would make sense if she made it a point for them to take those enzymes during those 3 months while following her other instructions to really balance out the body and the digestive system! That was kind of the point of the enzymes, especially for those who were dealing with significant bloating. It's definitely not necessary to take those enzymes once your body has adapted and gone back to a healthier level, they simply help in the initial process~
beebikinis I was talking about the enzymes, the probiotics I'm OK with ;)
Kristen Chu I would have loved to know her recommendations on "what about after these three months" to be sure she wasn't selling her 35$ /month not FDA approved digestive enzymes ^^
It would have been better if she had them eating probiotic foods. Kombucha, raw sour kraut, Kimichi etc would have been better.
I wish there was more explanation on why she was recommending certain items such as room temperature water and hot water with lemon
Room temperature water is less irritating for your stomach, especially right after waking up, and it might be easier to drink the whole glass quickly that way. The lemon water is mostly cause lemons have a huge amount of vitamin C, and the bright taste can help you feel more energised after waking up. (Also hot water with lemon does taste pretty darn good.)
I guess it was also a sneaky way to get them to get more water into their systems :D
the nutritionist is not a dietician and has no scientific backing.
How to not convince people to go plant-based: only eat salads!!!!
always so refreshing to see dieting videos not centred on weight loss or calorie counting 🙌🏻
Also not centered on fact... Then again, lately none of buzzfeed's videos have featured any kind of actual professional or fact checking.
I love that Shila has appeared with her naturally curly hair more since the stopping straightening video she did a while back.
First! These ladies have some pretty strong will power! I would have failed before i had started 🤣😂🤣
my artsy treasures is that all that matters to you?
Angelina Starr did u even *read* the comment?!
Yea and before it only said “First”
What I never get is why Buzzfeed has so much unhealthy snacks and lunches? Do they want there employees to have bad eating habits so they can make videos like this? (I like these kinds of videos tho haha)
There's nothing "bad" about eating tacos, donuts, or pizza. It's about balance. BuzzFeed is not there to dictate what employees should eat.
I LOVE the emphasis on whole plant foods and just the overall outlook of health and not just calories or portion sizes.
nutritionists are not dieticians; be aware.
I'm sorry Jazz didn't have any extra help with this, taken the ED past... Get a real dietitician next time though.
I think u should do what makes u happy. Changing ur entire life style for a video really? Jazz looked so tired at the end, I felt like that woman didn't really do a good job, she just told them to do what would have been good for her not them. I also applaud the chick who got chickfala and Taco Bell, ur now my personal hero 😂
“I got Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell”😂😂😭
Where’s the protein??!!! That’s literally all carbs
The non-dairy yogurt the Jazmyn was eating is actually such a good alternative with lots of flavors!
Queenie Indigo it’s the so delicious coconut milk yogurt. You can find it at a lot of grocery stores, I get mine from Whole Foods, Meijer, or Plum Market. 💜
When I saw the zoodles from the nutritionist’s pictures I just knew she doesn’t know what she is talking about.I think this can lead to orthorexia or binge eating.There is nothing wrong with having something “unhealthy “ every now and again .Also she is doing the exact same thing with every girl and on top of that she looks underweight.Next time please bring a dietitian
Kristin K. 🙌
Plus completely cutting out the foods they like can practically guarantee falling back or cheating!
Linlupin yes ,there are no “bad” foods
whats orthrorexia?
C Jo It's an eating disorder. I don't remember the specific characteristics.
I am SO happy that this video focused on the overall and greater benefits of eating healthy and sleeping earlier instead of focusing on the physical results. Whenever i go on a health kick I’m always looking at my stomach and my skin to see improvement but i forget to appreciate the fact that i have energy and feel more positive and productive.
drinking your food is a no no, there's more than salads & stop with the freaking pills omg.
sleep and drink enough water and that changes a lot already...
This video is the best in the series of fitness/nutrition challenges. This one actually has people who are trying to explore with their challenge (despite it being difficult) and there is less of a complaining “I didn’t do the challenge today” vibe. While I’m all about transparency and honesty, any “meh I feel like crap, not doing the challenge” moods make it really hard for me to want to finish the video
Get headspace!!! It's a really good meditation app and I love doing it every day right before I go to sleep or when I wake up if I need it. It really has helped me reduce my stress and make better and more thought out decisions
And the dude’s voice is relaxing as heck!
This was so awesome to watch! It was quite refreshing to see three different women on very different wellness paths. I enjoyed the sheer honesty in their journeys. Watching them fall short sometimes, but get back up was something the blogs and fitness magazines fail to share. I want to switch up my diet and cleanse and detox!
Shila should go see a gastroenterologist
if she hasn't already
Im currently on my health journey and its such a rollercoaster. Like last week i went to the gym for 5 days and i ate mostly plant based foods and now as im watching this im making mac and cheese and telling my friend i cant go to the gym tonight. Like you just have to be patient and stay motivated!
Jazz thank you so much! You inspired me to shave my head when i found out the reason u shaved ur head it inspired me to shave mine! So thank you jazz.
what was her reason?
spaceandthewoods she wanted to explore her confidence
I love seeing jazz in these types of vids. Almost as much as her fashion ones. Love u jazz
Wish you all the best
There is no reason to cut out dairy unless you have a sensitivity to it. You don't need digestive enzymes since our body naturally produces them. You also don't need probiotic pills when you can just eat yogurt... I'm not a dietician but I am a RN and and true medical professional wouldn't recommend pills, cutting dairy, mainly salads and a vegan lifestyle if not necessary.
Talia P Dairy contains nothing in it that you can't get from plants--like the cows do. Most people benefit from cutting it out because it's basically acidic fat.
Talia P actually pasturized dairy is just fat with water and contributes to Making people fat, raw dairy from grass fed cows is another thing however.
carrotopgrl you're not a cow. Cows have 4 chamber stomachs and their stomach acid is pretty neutral unlike humans, which is pretty acidic. Also we do not have the bacteria nor the other parts of a cows digestive system to break down cellulose, or even absorb plant food efficiently.
Live how you guys wanna live, I'm just saying there are ways to be healthy while eating anything you want in moderation. Whether you eat meat, dairy, vegan, vegetarian, doesn't matter as long as you get all your nutrients, eat balanced, exercise, and be happy 😊 also, treats in moderation are a must in my opinion so you don't go crazy lol
Thick Boy we can absorb plant foods efficiently just not really “woody” veggies that have a lot of cellulose (aka fiber! Which we need for a healthy colon) because it works our intestines. Meat, dairy, potato diet has very little fiber and essential vitamins and minerals we need through plant foods. Our body metabolizes vit/min. so much better than taking them through supplements
Jazz has been my favorite since I started faithfully watching CZcams!!!!
Yeah...you lost me at celebrity
I noticed that through the months, Jazmines face got so clear, and she was more focused. Same with the other girls but I'm so proud of them! They deserve the best for themselves.
"nutrition" plan: phone on airplane mode, meditate
i REALLY appreciated this "spring board" type of tutorial on how to ease your way into a new healthy lifestyle. especially when the volunteers of this experiment admit that they've experienced set backs on their journey but that "its ok" and so long as you continue to mk the effort to get back in the saddle and mk a concerted effort to change your life for the better, that you shouldn't beat yourself up for being human
Hi People scrolling down the comments I hope you're having a wonderful day and you know that your beautiful deep down inside even if you don't think so!
Katie Gascoigne you too sweetheart
😊
Thanks, have a wonderful day too
You have a great day too! {HUGZ}
Katie Gascoigne you made my day :3
You can see how jazz’s skin progressed, she be glowing!
What kind of nutritionist tells you to take pills and meditate?
Holistic ones.
One that cares about your well-being.
One who believes in detoxing 😂
A hippie one
I like the fact when they wake up you can tell they woke up lol love this channel
After all the diet videos and work out videos and training video they still look the same
okay elexis even if they look the same i bet they feel different
Deanna Worley your probably right . But if they felt different than why keep doing the same things with the same people
Diet and exercise takes often years to show big results. I only started seeing results after 2 months, and they were small; only i knew that there even was a change
sym I never said I did . I like there content and if I was a hater than I wouldn't be watching there videos I just think they should be creating different content instead of doing the same thing
Probably because it was likely all shot in one day. Maybe not but this seems fake to me.
Jazzmyne! That half white half black hair style you have is soo cool. I wish I had your confidence to try whatever style I wanted to!
She reminds me of meghan markle
Heather Burke that’s what I thought!
Heather Burke me too
YES
i was just going to comment this!
EM Gold Someone's salty
I got so excited to know that I have her book and LOVE IT! Met a girl a couple years ago in Barnes & nobles and told her I was writing a research paper on vegetarianism and she showed me this book! Love it!
cool. next time have someone with qualifications do this.
This was FUN! I love when they have positive revelations that will help in WHATEVER changes they make for the best. I wish you all great health! 🤗❤
Everyone is like FIRST FIRST FIRST and then i am like not first
As a vegan this upsets me in ways I can’t explain. It’s ridiculous that this ‘expert’ immediately forced her stupid pills & lemon water (??????) AND the fact that she didn’t let them ease into becoming vegan. Buzzfeed please get a LICENSED dietitian.
Sees jazz on thumbnail, me “she probably didn’t even go through with it completely”
Oh shut upppppp it’s a reference from multiple videos she’s in lol she just doesn’t seem to follow rules
No one mentioned her eating disorder
Go eat butthurt on another comment section pls
Hayley Oliver get *****
patricia torres it really seems like you are the only one who is getting butt hurt here.
Its not a reference, its just you being rude and tbh a litlle toxic~ specially with this agressive reaction on Hayley. Jazz is doing her best, i think we all need to respect that :)
I see the same and I'm not judging her on her struggle with ED. Why someone who has ED isn't already seeing a dietician for help is beyond me. But Jazz had a habit of complaining about and not participating in any videotape that requires her to change, even temporarily. She reverts back to whatever she is used to. Maybe that's also a struggle for her. But meanwhile maybe featuring someone more open to change would help people get more out of the video.
I love how she incorporated wellness other than food!
Watches while I wait for the pizza I ordered
I'm nutritionist in Korea. I think Eating animal protein is so important💛
Shila is just so pretty... Jesus.. Heck all of them are!
My strategy when trying to eat healthy is this:
Whenever I want to eat something I ask myself, “Is this good for me? What is it doing for me and to me? Would i get mad at myself for eating this later? And am I only eating this because I am too lazy to make something else? If the answers to these questions are bad then I don’t eat it. It has helped me so much.
I lost weight when I started weighing my food. I only allowed 1.5 pounds of food per day (before adding liquids), then gradually went down to 1 pound per day. It made it easier to cut out carbs and meat since they tend to be heavier and forced me to incorporate more veggies
Carbs have less fat then actual fat so cutting carbs have no point
Rusty Shackleford that sounds like a good plan actually!
Annbrial Lawrence crabs turn to sugar which raises blood glucose which in turns causes a crash in your system. Cutting carbs is a good thing.
And veggies are kinda heavy but have so little cals so idk what you're doing
Rusty Shackleford that sounds like an awesome plan.
I’m glad that this was a good thing for jazz and not a bad one knowing her history with food & hope she continues to feel better
Okay, I am a registered, certified, licensed Dietitian. I work in a hospital as a Clinical Dietitian and have been for almost 3 years now. I do NOT want to sound mean, but I want to clear the air. There are some good points in this video and I'm happy that the girls feel much better about their relationships with food, but there were a lot of negatives for me in this video on how to achieve that happiness.
First of all, in a nutrition consultation, we would not include meditation or putting down phones in our recommendations. We would recommend healthy lifestyle changes, but we would not go into specifics, since that's not our area of expertise. Food experts talk about food. A different professional would discuss mental health, meditation, specific exercises, etc.
Second, why add the probiotics and enzymes, and other pills? Sauerkraut has natural probiotics, so what's the point? We Dietitians would not recommend pills or short cuts in a diet plan. We are going to provide you with lifestyle changes, not short-term fixes. Eat whole foods that have natural probiotics and prebiotics (so one second you are preaching the "whole foods" thing, but then the next you give them a pill? Just eat the whole foods). Now if you have an issue with your pancreas and you need enzymes to help digest your food, okay. But as far as I can see, these women are perfectly healthy and capable of digesting their foods without needing enzymes. Gut health is very important, yes, but you can achieve that by eating whole foods and adapting healthy lifestyle choices.
Third, being healthy is SO much more than just eating salads. Variety in a diet is awesome! Yes, I push whole foods and everyday I preach to cut the chips out. But you can have regular pasta noodles, eat certain foods in moderation, and still enjoy life! The power is within the choices. Also, going vegetarian or vegan just for a few weeks is not the best way to go. If that is a lifestyle choice you want to take, have at it. I support the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. But to use them as quick fixes or like fad diets? Not quite right. You miss a lot of key nutrients when you cut out certain animal foods/products that are vital for your energy production and metabolism. If you are going to take this lifestyle change and go vegetarian/vegan, then please supplement those missing nutrients with other food choices, or at the very least, take a multivitamin (that would probably be the only pill I recommend).
Fourth, where was the exercise component? Granted, exercise is not our area of expertise, but since this "nutritionist" is recommending other specific habits, why not mention exercise? Exercise is a critical part of health! Move that body!
Fifth, there is also the topic of portion control. People know they need to eat the salad, but then they eat a salad that could feed three people. (sorry to use salad as an example, but I hope that it makes sense). Portion control is an issue that needs to be addressed too!
Lastly, PLEASE for the love for everything good and Holy, hire a Registered Dietitian for the next video! "Nutritionist" is a term that literally anyone can take; my dog can take it! It is not regulated by the government. An RD (Registered Dietitian) is someone who went to school for a long time and had to pass a REALLY hard exam to get that credential, just so they can teach about foods.
I am really sorry that this message became a novel and if I sounded harsh, but there is a LOT of mis-information out there in the world when it comes to food. Registered Dietitians have the responsibility to set the record straight. I am only here to let the company and the viewers know that being healthy doesn't have to be this "all or nothing" mindset. Moderation is key.
I my god. I have been watching as if for a while and I just noticed how gorgeous jazz.
Now do this same video with a dietitian and have the girls compare the two experiences
Lauren getting chick fila and Taco Bell is a whole mood .
I’m here for a good time. Not a long time. So eat that burger :)
Ishan Ali If you go by that motto in life you won’t live for very long
I'm with you Ishan. I ate a fat juicy burger with three kinds of peppers and spicy cheese yesterday and quite frankly, it would have made for a solid last meal. I'd have died smiling and satisfied.
stupidest sentiment to live by - you'd develop chronic illness, not just drop dead (at least not right away) and be like aw at least i had a good time. lol
Ishan Ali I keep seeing you on like every video I watch!
a good time can mean FEELING good too.
I liked how this vid was not about weight loss but overall health! It makes the process a lot more positive overall
Me: GOOD FOR THEM!!
Also me: *puts another potato chip in mouth*
Or me drinking a Coke with a bottle of water next to me
I loved this video so much. I really appreciate the length of time you ladies have this life style change. It is very relatable and realistic for us viewers. Thank you for all your efforts and keep us posted on the changes you've continued with. 💓💓👍🏻
Boooooooo! Use an actual dietitian! Boo!
At 7:55 all the "ummmmm" and "yeah" sounded sooooo sarcastic
