@@nathaniel741852 Similarly, the use of this kind of platform is heavily criticized throughout my field (mental health professional here!). I'm all for more accessible and affordable care, but this is an awful and unethical new development.
TW: ED. My dad was a personal trainer. He told me at a young age that he hoped I would never have a 6 pack because I would likely be starving myself to do so. That stuck with me.
@leshelly21 no one was fit shaming lol. If it works for you, great, but it isn't sustainable for most women without severe calorie and carbohydrate restriction
@leshelly21 tf? She said HER FATHER told her that, her father most likely knows her daughter's body type and overall being, and since he's a personal trainer she was glad he's not expecting that from her because it wouldn't fit her. A lot of parents who are into fitness unfortunately end up causing EDs to their kids, my mother went through that. Not everything is about YOU
@leshelly21 having rumors spread about you because you're skinny is nowhere near what people who are not like you experience. your struggles are valid, but please stop comparing it to others', especially when the two are not comparable. you will never face the systemic disadvantages that overweight and other marginalized body types do simply for existing.
yessss!! this is so TERRIBLE! last week I was thinking about how much fear I had of eating bananas and I literally started crying!!! it's unbelievable how diet culture can make us fearful of the most natural things!! bananas are just one example of those. I am so glad I found Abbye and am learning more about Intuitive Eating and making peace with food, finally! 🙌
The fact that Daisy Keech, among many other influencers, have a workout guide and food plan (that costs $, might I add) is SO concerning because she has 0 credentials, certifications or degrees. I don’t understand how this is legal.
Agreed! It’s great that she can make a living/killer money off of taking pictures of her genetically gifted body, but do NOT pretend that you got that body from working out/eating a certain way and do NOT sell stupid plans to the naive, the gullible and the uneducated who think that paying for such a plan will make them look like Daisy.
This is one of the biggest things that i love in my country (Brazil) you just can't give advice about food intake our exercise if you are not a nutricionist or a physical exercise professional ( minimum of 4 years university).
It’s not though. I think it depends on the legislations of each country but here in my country it’s illegal for people that aren’t certified to do that, and even then only registered dietitians can do it
i used to be so stressed about eating bread and pasta and then a friend said "that won't make you fat.. think about it, how many italians do you know that are fat?" and i was just 👁👄👁 he right
I’m recovering from an ED and hearing you say “eat the d*mn bread” made me cry. I think I just needed someone I trust to give me permission to eat what my body wants Edit: THANK YOU to everyone who replied to this comment!! I’m sobbing looking back at where I was when I posted this 7 months ago. I now eat 3 meals plus 2-3 snacks a day. The little monologue that used to happen every time I ate is gone and I can really enjoy food again. For those wondering if recovery is possible I can tell you 100% IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!! IT IS POSSIBLE!!!! DONT GIVE UP!!
Eat the d*mn bread your family's cooking and even go to restaurants if that pleases your body I believe you can go that far in the future but for the moment let that lady teach and influence you with her knowledge she even posted her eating routines one day you'll prob stick to it I trust
As someone who is recovered (as far as you can be) the feeling of just eating and enjoying life again is seriously so much better than any kind of thin body I could ever have. I remember when I'd ditch my friends and not go out because I thought coffee with milk has too many calories, let alone a meal or alcohol. So girl EAT THE BREAD!! Life's seriously too short to stay away from anything that would make you happy. And ngl bread is life :D
That’s not a healthy mindset. If you look to other nutritionists a lot of them would not recommend Abby’s philosophy of “intuitive eating”. She’s been called out a lot so I wouldn’t trust her at all.
what i eat in days like this from "fitness" influencers are seriously so toxic.. spent years of my life comparing what i ate to these types of women and always felt guilty for eating more.... eat the whole banana! eat the bread!
@@AbbeysKitchen i don't understand this? Why should this trigger anyone? How can anyone be so fragile? Its such a western thing . You do a great job. I enjoy it. I don't even know how these people are
@@punkqueen5664 The triggering pertains to eating disorders some people have. To them, even normal things such as calories, weight scales, diet examples, can trigger a bulimia/anorexic episode, for example. We should not judge, this is a product of our sick society.
I don’t eat bread because I have been holistically healing Crohn’s disease (it worked!!) but honestly I never liked bread much and I don’t miss it lol. I love the way I eat now, idk. Maybe I’m just weird. I never liked pancakes either, even as a little kid 🤣
Is the no carbs thing like an American/ Canadian thing? I'm Dutch and I eat bread for breakfast and lunch, it's like a staple food here in the Netherlands.
Completely no! I would say that most of Americans even eat too many carbs - a lot of sweets, processed food, pancakes, bread etc. But low carb or keto diet unfortunately is getting popular in global medias, not only in USA or Canada, by diet culture. many popular celebrities are trying this and making videos, so you might have a feeling that it’s American thing. In fact, as I said, it’s only like this in social media, in reality a few people are actually on low carb diet.
@@ml.9417 It was just a question? This channel mostly reviews non-European content creators/youtubers/celebrities and looking at the previous videos I noticed this non-carb trend. Therefore, I was just wondering if it is common in America/Canada. I don't live over there, so there is no way for me to know stuff like that, hence me asking the question since a lot of people watching Abby's videos do live there.
Thanks for highlighting the risk of no period. I had an eating disorder as a teenager and never got a period. Found out I had osteoporosis at 19 years old. I’m 29 now, a mom of two, and am thankfully able to breastfeed. I haven’t had any fractures yet but the health of my bones is something that I think about quite often.
I also found out I had osteoporosis at 16 years old, so I think about this often as well - wish it were talked about more. Thank you for sharing - I'm so encouraged to hear that you are doing well
@@graysoncamille hey, also Kamila here 😊 wow, that is terrible… how are you able to keep yourself from getting injured? I also wonder what to eat to support my bones and skin. I think I was stuggling for a while with undereating myself, but only for a short time and I am 35, regular periods - so nothing dramatic. I just want to be healthy, have normal body fat and muscles. My issue is that there is such a huge amount of info regarding eating and workout, which contradict itself - I am so confused now about how many meals I should have, when to have the last one…. Even “experts” have often different approach towards this. I don’t want to starve or have less vitamins and minerals, but I don’t know how to deal with meals when I workout or go for very long hikes where I need more energy. Sugar is really demonized around me. Fat as well. I eat fruits and I love 70% cocoa chocolate. However, when I eat this my friend who is a trainer tells me it is too much, app I use (only sometimes) says the same. But on this channel I found out, that this tiny piece of chocolate is nothing and I still eat less sugar than I should. I am lost. So confusing.
I'm so sorry! That's so awful. This needs to be talked about more. I think when we are young we take our body's ability to heal for granted, we don't realize that yes, there can be permanent implications. Well, with ED sometimes the goal is coping with life and they are in too much pain to worry about the future, but for most kids with disordered eating habits watching these influencers that information could really help them
Hello!! Could you please share your symptoms? I had an ED and never got my period and am quite concerned now that I may have developed osteoporosis as well.
A wise woman once said- pick something healthy and eat it. When you’re full, then great. Its your birthday? Have some fucking cake. Your body will thank u :>
If you feel like tracking calories would be a good decision for you, just focus on protein, and for the rest of it, just eat as healthy as is possible for you.
When she made her smoothie: oh thank god she’s making a morning snack after the smaller breakfast. When she cut to dinner: wait, was the smoothie her LUNCH? Was that lunch????
She has to keep her body looking like that with a super low calorie diet because the truth is that’s why people go to her videos. Because she has an aspirational body and she is aware of this. She doesn’t offer anything else. Without it, she would lose followers and views because her workout videos aren’t anything expectational. Her entire following is built on her body, that’s how she markets herself, she’s dug her own self into this hole, so she’ll have to eat low af and maintain this no matter how hungry, miserable and destroying herself from the insides she is.
You hit the nail on the head. Sadly, I don’t think she would want to follow any of Abby’s gentle diet tips. She doesn’t want to eat more. She knows what she’s doing.
@@lainiritsch2192 The fact that she wants to get leaner is so alarming to me. But it’s her own fault really, she sold herself to the internet for her body instead of actually interesting content and personality so now she has to stay ‘hot body chick’ or people will move on.
I remember her posting a photo of her butt with something like: ‘showing your body is not bad. Everyone is made differently and should feel beautiful no matter what society expects us to look like’ 💀 she is so disconnected from regular people in my opinion. It made me feel so bad for her. She is exactly what society expects women to look like. It horrifies me to make a whole career out of eating a low calorie diet, I think I would be so unhappy.
@@Esandeech2 As much as I wanna blame her I get it you know. Pretty girls are basically conditioned to believe that that’s the most valuable thing about them, so it’s not surprising it’s the only thing I see her investing in: her looks. Because let’s be real Daisy has 0 personality.
I’m italian and i literally eat bread every morning and pasta like 4 times a week( bc my nonna cooks too well haha) and I can tell you I’m far from being fat and so is everybody else hear so please don’t listen to her and don’t cut carbs to get “skinny” they’re too good
No no no…carbs here in America is worst then in Italy. My husband and I (doctor and nurse) super into diet and wonder why the Italians were so small in comparison to America…we took a trip down there last month. Turns out the carbs you guys eat is closer to the source, while in America our carbs are so heavily processed. Also, the oils America use is even worst…the oils we use (vegetable oil) is used in almost all our foods and that oil screws up with our mitochondria, which is the cell that helps with energy (ATP) makes it harder to make ATP among other things. There are studies and science to back this up. Italians use olive oil which is extremely healthy and a big deference in why Italians are some of the healthiest people in the word (particularly as you guys get older) It’s possible that the oils contribute to obesity more than the processed carbs even but there’s no hard evidence for that.
Just please don't mix things up! You're skinny DESPITE eating pasta and bread, not because of it. Pasta and bread have pretty much no nutritional value whatsoever, that's why it's not recommended if you're on low calorie diet
@@MrVafflis that’s so not true I hope you realise that. Bread like sourdough has many nutritional benefits and a lot of bread is a good source of fibre and protein. Don’t fear any food
I just can’t imagine being low carb, I honestly think a lot of women cut out carbs under the guise of low carb diet but it is really just a way to cut calories more, when I eat just protein and veggies I’m starving!!!
I'm with you, girl. A good balance of macros has always been good for me. A protein goal range is my only guideline - fats and carbs get filled in as I feel I need them! I've never done well on low carb nor low fat and neither of those are even necessary.
If you eat low carb you need to eat higher fat, which does make you really full. I eat eggs and bacon or avocado with full fat Greek yoghurt and low carb berries for breakfast and it keeps me full for hours.
I agree. I personally believe in incorporating carbs, protein, and fat in my diet because each has its own purpose for a reason, in my opinion. With the exception of medical conditions that require specific dietary needs and necessary restrictions, it's really not necessary to cut out a group (not including religious and lifestyle choices). People are over complicating it
When I eat a banana, I'm pleased with myself for eating another serving of fruit and the various nutrients that come with it. It's so strange to see that some people are actually concerned about the carbs that come with bananas, as if it's somehow...unhealthy to eat a piece of fruit??? Though I don't usually eat a whole banana at a time anymore. I'm more likely to freeze it in bites, then cover it with chocolate. It's a yummy dessert, especially when I've run out of ice cream and won't let myself go to the store again until I'm also out of veggies. ^_^
@@zvezdoblyat I've never had it. I don't really do small servings of ice cream, so a tiny pint of Ben & Jerry's would disappear way too quickly, considering its cost. My inability to eat small servings is why I end up ice-cream-less for several days between grocery-shopping trips. And sorry, I have notifications for replies turned off, since those get annoying when you reply to a popular comment. :P Notifications for likes are on, though. ^_^
@@LexAnnalyn I thought I could finish the pint in one sitting too, but the sugar levels are so highly disgusting that two spoons are my limit for the day 😂 it usually ends up lasting 3 to 4 weeks
@@zvezdoblyat Hmm... may be worth a try for me then. But really, I can easily eat half a 1.5-qt carton of ice cream in one sitting. I try to keep it to below a third (ideally less than a fourth), so I can make it last longer and avoid stomach aches. :P
You should review Old Hollywood Diets- like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, etc: There are several accounts of what they would eat in a day. Judy Garland is a good example of how toxic Hollywood was back then (and it continues to be today tbh). It would be interesting to see a modern dietician's view on this! Great Video as always 🍒👍
@@cristinaelisabet9370 I read somewhere that Audery Hepburn's digestive system was severely damaged because had to survive off flour made from tulips during WWII (which I think is toxic?). It caused significant issues for her, her body wasn't able to absorb nutrients properly for the rest of her life and she had trouble eating/digesting a lot of foods. It's why she was so thin her whole life (according to what I read).
So basically what I got from this video is I’m in an extreme calorie deficit and that’s why I’m not getting optimal results from my workouts. This video was extremely informational for me and helped me realize a lot. I guess I was viewing food just like this girl. I’m very glad I watched this video.
Dental professional here. Energy drinks are also the number one cause of tooth decay! The acidity literally erodes your enamel away! Please stop drinking them!!
@Cat yes! Anything that contains citric acid! However, we would rather you eat fruit than drink the juice since most fruit juices have a lot of added sugar.
Activated charcoal is no joke. I take a strong anti anxiety medication and started taking activated charcoal for "bloating" and it messed up my medication so bad I nearly had a mental break. It should not be so easy to use and consume as it currently is.
It's used in hospitals to treat certain overdoses for exactly this reason; I've had similar supplement issues (magnesium and IBS-D is a nope) and it is way too easy to do serious damage with OTC stuff.
Thank you for calling out this unfair demonization of bread! I had a personal trainer recently tell me my sourdough bread avocado toast for breakfast that day was 90% of my daily carbs that I was “allowed” to have. I’m so tired of people saying you need to “eat clean” to be healthy, honestly what does that even mean.
I used to be a PT, i never gave dietary advice, always reminding my clients that although i can guide, i am NOT a dietitian. Unless qualified to, they should stay within the boundaries on exercise.
I had a trainer tell me basically that carbs are the devil and to really limit them. At the time I was morbidly obese and had no idea. Thankfully I didn't listen to her, ate the carbs and lost 140 pounds
Dude literally. I could happily eat pasta everyday (and already eat it multiple times a week) if I weren’t forcing myself to uhhhh branch out a bit more 😩
As an Eastern European who loves bread and will eat it with just about anything (except rice and pasta), I can't imagine limiting myself to just one slice. Sourdough is soo good 🤤
I recovered from OCD and I realized that I was developing an unhealthy relationship with food. Abbey's video really helped me to reset my mindset about food but also about working out and, essentially, myself. Now, roughly 1,5 years after I found this channel, I feel so much better and I thoroughly enjoy every video :)
@@makeupmadness2010 Not speaking for OP here, but I got diagnosed w OCD almost 10 years ago and would consider my state of mild daily symptoms as (almost) recovered, as it doesn’t currently impede my life. Of course I still have work to do, but I am happy to be where I am!
So I am basically saying I don’t think I personally will ever be symptom free, but I am recovered in a way, having my symptoms be largely unnoticed by other people, and not as hinders :)
@@makeupmadness2010 Oh, I am sorry I phrased that the wrong way! It's like Confusion Perpetual State said, I can now live with it and I even notice when I develop unhealthy patterns (as with food, excessive training and other things!) and I can try my best to kill these habits early and speak to my therapist about it.
I can only imagine how much time it takes to find real studies, read through those studies, and then report the information back to a viewer in an easy to understand way. Thank you for all your hard work Abbey! There are so many influencers pumping out BS it's so awesome to see what the science says!
Sourdough is delicious. I love two ways esp: with butter and homemade blood orange marmalade or with extra virgin olive oil and cottage cheese-- lots of pepper.
I just started intuitive eating. Best thing I've ever done. I never realized how much stress I was carrying all the time when I would worry about dieting or what others thought of my body shape. I have a long way to go to work on my food issues but for once I'm so excited to have a healthy relationship with my food and myself.
As a doctor I learn so much from watching your videos and it really helps with how I speak to patients about their diet, weight etc. Thank you! I wish we had had more of this in medical school
I definitely would appreciate a review of Pamela Reif as she has her own cookbook, app, protein bars, and granola. ***Wow, I have never ever thought that my comment would be so controversial. I personally have no big problem with her. I just see a lot of young girls admiring her and believing whatever she claims. So, I'd genuinely like to know what Abbey thinks.***
Loved the part where you said “eat. the. damn. bread.” Stephanie Buttermore says something like eat the damn carbs in her last video on intuitive eating
Growing up in an Ashkenazi Jewish family we put celery powder or celery salt in fuckin everything, and I haven’t died yet! It’s fine, and makes your egg salad and tuna salad super super tasty!
Honestly celery itself is a huge hate for me 😂 I seriously cannot eat it cooked or raw, and I love most veggies so I don't feel bad to avoid it. But even I consider celery powder/celery salt an absolute staple in potato salad, deviled eggs, etc. 😂
Would love for you to do Tabitha Brown's what I eat in a day review. She's a popular vegan TikToker and cook and a black woman (which would be great to see more of). I think she has a pretty healthy attitude to food so would be good to see whar you think! Also Ayesha Curry would be a good one
Thank GOD there are videos like this made by ACTUAL professionals to set the record straight. This sounds harsh but a lot of these fitness influencers are really dim and do not realise or care about the potential harm they’re doing 🙃🙃🙃
7:06 YES. People in the Netherlands be like: try me. We eat bread for breakfast lunch and dinner. Though the stuff we put on our bread isn't the most creative as it is mostly cheese(and mustard) on most days😅
Same with Germans. Bread at every meal. Everyday a different kind. We call dinner "Abendbrot" which translates to "evening bread", because we often eat bread at our final meal of the day.
I'm so glad I followed Vicky Justiz in my journey to a healthier weight two years ago. I love how healthy she is and preaches to not be scared of carbs. She encourages her audience to have a healthy relationship with food.
As a Jamaican, we eat alot of carbs (ground provision) like yam, dumpling, sweet potato, Irish potato, white rice and bread (whole wheat and white), cassava. It's quite filling for us, especially men, sorry but no carbs only leaves my belly mostly empty 😂😂🤣💕🇯🇲
@@thriftyhs28 😂😂 be careful tho too much carbs isn't good for you , we still have our veggies and fruits as well as meat in our diet... It's all about portion size ☺️☺️
That should be the case everywhere. They didn't exist until I was an adult, I remember trying red bull at 19 and I literally spat it out and never tried any others since, and I'm 34 now 😂
@@trippysiren7966 that is kinda funny :D but therefore you are allowed to buy beer, wine, and sparkling wine at age 16 in Germany legally. I personally think that is not a good thing
I agree that "counting macros" isn't part of the Intuitive Eating mentality, but I think that it's possible to incorporate nutritional guidance and knowledge into Intuitive Eating in practice. Aiming for your gentle-type nutrition suggestions can be a goal within a framework of listening to one's own cues, as long as you still listen carefully. So if you know in practice eating a solid amount of protein per meal is good but just don't feel it when you sit down to your plate today, it's okay to choose something different at that moment. But yeah, whatever Daisy is doing here is obviously not this.
I think Abbey is very professional in the way she reviews influencers diets. Great video! Made me realize I am still in a “diet” mindset with some foods. I always did the half banana thing 😂. I was told too much sugar don’t eat a whole one lol. How silly is that?!
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and allow me to just say wow, I love the way you educate in a well-rounded and informative manner while also having empathy for both your audience and the person you’re reviewing. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber and dedicated watcher :)
It took me YEARS to unlearn the idea of “good” and “bad” food. I used to restrict myself from eating “bad” food so much that I would end up binge eating it all and feeling sick after.
Hey Abbey, I'm currently a student dietitian and I absolutely love watching your video's. They provide so much evidence backed insight and I only wish more girls stumbled upon your video's when searching youtube for diet advice. As someone who has struggled to maintain a healthy relationship with food in the past, I would have been much better off if I had watched your content instead of following a calorie and macronutrient split from an unqualified "nutrition coach". Thank you for another awesome video!
Their eating pattern is definitely not ideal. But we have to consider the fact that they’re models. It’s their job to “intentionally trying to have a flat tummy and a big booty”. They’re making their livings out of it
she also makes a living out of selling her health advice, despite having no credentials and an unhealthy relationship with food. nobody would be critiquing her diet if she wasn’t putting out videos promoting, and making money from it.
Watching your channel has truly changed my view on food! I used to diet very harshly, I was obsessed with eating only foods that were "healthy", and I would feel immense amounts of guilt for eating something that I would have considered cheating on my diet. Once when I was watching a video of yours a little while ago you said, "unless you stole it, all food is guilt free," and that really stuck with me. Since then I've been able to greatly improve my relationship with food and watching videos like this really helps me to understand nutrition better and allows me to continue making improvements to my mindset! Thank you!
Influencer culture makes you feel like moving and eating healthy is a chore or punishment for your “bad” looks or body. Deleted social media, deleted my own idolization of influencers....now I love to cook to feed my body natural vitamins and nutrition, and I love to move my body to remind me I’m strong and check in with myself. It’s really irresponsible for any influencer to give false information, especially as they know they are held as a beauty standard. This video reminded me of WHY we need people like abbey sharp...to give us a reality check on why we should love ourselves and our body, and how we can nurture ourselves properly
Abbey I really appreciate that you share your knowledge with us. I really love your channel and is really helpful for someone like me who is struggle with ED since 16 years. Thank you 😊
I always find myself screaming THANK YOU at some point in your videos. Thank you for calling out diet culture & misinformation. Also, super entertaining to hear you retitle the video you're reviewing ✨
watching your videos and really listening to the way you talk about food, has really opened my eyes to my relationship with it. I so greatly appreciate your commentary and love that you base so much of it on science!! thank you for these videos, a lot of what is preached by these “influencers” nowadays, can be toxic even if not intended that way
For those asking about the stigma around bread in North America I have some answers! Because of our ability to make everything unhealthy and cheap, the most readily available bread to us is white bread filled with preservatives and a ton of sugar, the ‘wonder white bread’ is typical. That does not mean we dont have amazing bakeries who bake fresh and delicious sourdough, rye or nice breads. BUT people refer to the wonder white bread as the baseline, in which it is not healthy or very good for you. But I agree, good fresh bread is amazing and its not the enemy and it’s unfortunate that so many people fail to see this!
Some MASSIVE ed red flags in here 😥 having bread is "ok cuz you're going to work it off", earning a full banana instead of half by working out. Plus the body checking...
@@intheflatfield3851 hey could you tell me wut body checking is ? I personally have never experienced having an ED and i’ve been seeing alot of ppl especially on tiktok get in trouble for not putting trigger warnings on body checking videos and i wanna be educated on it i googled it but im still confused
@@laundrycat1254 ok i see this makes sense cause i wasn’t understanding why people were commenting under sum tiktoks to put a trigger warning in videos of them like (TRIGGER WARNING) flexing or showing how slim their body is from a side angle. thank you also i hope u r doing well in ur recovery
@@intheflatfield3851 Ayy was just going to comment this! Influencers showing their body in the mirror on cam a few times is not body checking... that's just being self absorbed. Body checking is typically a very private and monitored activity
Honestly thank you for the reminder that these diets won’t guarantee these results. I watch this kind of content all the time and constantly wonder why I can’t achieve the results they are. Definitely subscribing
Just subscribed. So important to have someone like you really dig in to these influencer diets. You speak with so much respect and knowledge- yet remain honest and open about this kind of dieting
Abbey: I thought the activated charcoal trend was dead My face knowing I just saw an Instagram influencer promoting activated charcoal pills when you drink to “absorb the toxins in alcohol and prevent hangover”: 😳
I love how you don’t tell someone what they should or shouldn’t do but you give advisories. And let ppl make their own decisions. I feel waaay more educated on health.
This is the first video I've watched on your channel and I am just so impressed! This video was beautifully produced, full of well explained informations that seemed to be based in since, and a very careful gentle language! I love it!
Yes this needed to be said! So many fitness influencers out there giving incredibly incorrect information. I used to be one of these girls that thought I could change my genetics just by following their diets/starving myself/overly training my body. Thank god I found science
The really, really scary part is a large part of her main demographic (or a larger part than a lot of influencers since she is from tik tok) is likely girls 13 and under watching this and internalizing having to defend things like 2 pieces of bread...
I will never forget attending a miss Florida pageant, seeing tons of young girls ages 6 and up aspiring to be like the contestants, and listening to the last years winner say on stage “We all know bread is the devil.” Ya’ll just eat the bread…. Thank you for propping up eating bread. So sad that this even needs saying.
Hi I'm from Italy so I must say, eat your carbs! I thibk the secret to feed your body is finding an equilibrium in what we eat, not cutting out certain types of food
Hey Abbey! I clicked as soon as I got the notification! I wanted to say thank you so much for all the information you provide and for creating a kind and supportive community. I've recently started intuitive eating after watching your videos and realised that I have become so much happier and more physically / emotionally satisfied with my meals and day to day life. Thank you so much for making your videos!
I love your honest comments. This is so so so so so helpful. Intuitive eating is hard and sometimes people try to do that, but it’s actually a very advanced technique if your eating habits are out of tune to begin with.
Banana is such a good source of potassium! And smile while eating bread... It's bread! But to each is own! I love your information keep up the good work.
This is why I love you Abbey! So firm and yet so kind. Thanks for always steering us in the right direction. I would so love to see you review Autumn Bates intermittent fasting channel. Bought her program before finding your channel and the main recommendation was to have a smoothie for breakfast which for some reason I couldn’t ever get into doing. It made me feel guilty and like I was failing the program if I couldn’t replace one of my meals with a smoothie or workout on an empty stomach.
I watched this video is Daisys last night and I’m proud to have pointed out a lot of the things you said!! I’m not an RD obviously but I’ve learned so much from my own interests/research/education in food & nutrition as well as your channel! Thanks for these videos! Your nonjudgmental & whole hearted advice is strongly needed here on CZcams ❤️
I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel today! As a future dietitian, I love hearing your opinions and scientific reasons for those. I’m about to watch probably like ALL of your videos for the rest of the day!😂
One pet peeve I have is when someone will put a “I’m not a dietician or doctor” disclaimer, and then later go on to offer blanket medical or nutritional advice 🤦♀️
you are one of the best youtubers ever omfg this video…..your message…..as someone who has dealt for years with body image issues and starving myself, seeing the way you talk about health and food and life in general is very empowering and so helpful!! thank you!!!!!
Your blush/bronzer/highlighter is looking so good! I agree, bread is not the devil. I have noticed that around 30 grams of carbs usually leaves me feeling satiated, energized and not sluggish so really often I am grateful for the perfection that is a slice of toast!(I don't count macros, it was just something I noticed.)
Wow, first time watching your videos and I am just in love. I really like how you explain everything in a non-judgmental way while still pointing out the serious flaws these influencers have with their often harmful diet videos! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see more videos (definitely going on a watching spree tonight LOL). I just started seeing a nutritionist and I hope to supplement your videos along with her guides for more support! Would love to see videos on IBS and/or anxiety management via diet in the future if you ever have the time 😊
Thank you, I'm so glad you find them helpful! I have a video about the low fodmap trial on my channel that you might find helpful: czcams.com/video/uP_i8ZaA2wE/video.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharp
Your healthy view on food is so refreshing! I’ve been unhappy with my body for a while. I was the biggest girl in my ballet class which influenced my view on my body at a young age, especially when an entire wall was a mirror. I used to just stand in front of it wondering whether I had a thigh gap, what a thigh gap even was, and whether or not it was a good thing to have. My family are also all super fit - my brother and sister are naturally very thin, my mum runs a lot, and my dad is a world-champion 1500m runner. As I got older, stuff started piling up. There was a solid few months when I couldn’t look in the mirror because every time I did I started crying. I’m lucky Covid cancelled my prom because I was planning to starve myself in the run up. I’m on study leave and recently I’ve been eating a meal a day. But I woke up today and decided to take another approach - I’ve made a beginner’s workout routine and I’m learning about what amount of food is actually healthy for me. Sorry for the long comment but I want you to know how grateful I am for helping me in my journey to be healthier and look the way I want!
Oh god I’m 35 and never ever been on any diet or cutting carbs or whatever. I always eat what I want and when I want it. Could be 5 chocolate bars a day or pasta every night for weeks. And I’ve always been slim and healthy. Just eat and live your life people

TW: ED. My dad was a personal trainer. He told me at a young age that he hoped I would never have a 6 pack because I would likely be starving myself to do so. That stuck with me.

Wow. Thank you for sharing that
@leshelly21 no one was fit shaming lol. If it works for you, great, but it isn't sustainable for most women without severe calorie and carbohydrate restriction
@leshelly21 tf? She said HER FATHER told her that, her father most likely knows her daughter's body type and overall being, and since he's a personal trainer she was glad he's not expecting that from her because it wouldn't fit her. A lot of parents who are into fitness unfortunately end up causing EDs to their kids, my mother went through that. Not everything is about YOU
@leshelly21 having rumors spread about you because you're skinny is nowhere near what people who are not like you experience. your struggles are valid, but please stop comparing it to others', especially when the two are not comparable. you will never face the systemic disadvantages that overweight and other marginalized body types do simply for existing.
Ugh the banana shaming 🤦🏻♀️ It's sad that diet culture has made us fear FRUIT.
It’s soo annoying honestly
yessss!! this is so TERRIBLE!
last week I was thinking about how much fear I had of eating bananas and I literally started crying!!! it's unbelievable how diet culture can make us fearful of the most natural things!! bananas are just one example of those.

The fact that Daisy Keech, among many other influencers, have a workout guide and food plan (that costs $, might I add) is SO concerning because she has 0 credentials, certifications or degrees. I don’t understand how this is legal.
Agreed! It’s great that she can make a living/killer money off of taking pictures of her genetically gifted body, but do NOT pretend that you got that body from working out/eating a certain way and do NOT sell stupid plans to the naive, the gullible and the uneducated who think that paying for such a plan will make them look like Daisy.

I’m recovering from an ED and hearing you say “eat the d*mn bread” made me cry. I think I just needed someone I trust to give me permission to eat what my body wants
Edit: THANK YOU to everyone who replied to this comment!! I’m sobbing looking back at where I was when I posted this 7 months ago. I now eat 3 meals plus 2-3 snacks a day. The little monologue that used to happen every time I ate is gone and I can really enjoy food again. For those wondering if recovery is possible I can tell you 100% IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!! IT IS POSSIBLE!!!! DONT GIVE UP!!
good luck w your recovery you got this love💕
Eat the d*mn bread your family's cooking and even go to restaurants if that pleases your body I believe you can go that far in the future but for the moment let that lady teach and influence you with her knowledge she even posted her eating routines one day you'll prob stick to it I trust
You deserve all the non-guilt bread, you got this!!!
As someone who is recovered (as far as you can be) the feeling of just eating and enjoying life again is seriously so much better than any kind of thin body I could ever have. I remember when I'd ditch my friends and not go out because I thought coffee with milk has too many calories, let alone a meal or alcohol. So girl EAT THE BREAD!! Life's seriously too short to stay away from anything that would make you happy. And ngl bread is life :D
I wish you the best of luck in recovery!
I’m 15 so i’m just going to eat whatever I want.
@L D no thank you

@@brookeschmidt5702 thanks 😊
That’s not a healthy mindset. If you look to other nutritionists a lot of them would not recommend Abby’s philosophy of “intuitive eating”. She’s been called out a lot so I wouldn’t trust her at all.
Right now it doesn’t matter because your so young but if you make that mindset a habit when you get older it’s going to cause a lot of issues
what i eat in days like this from "fitness" influencers are seriously so toxic.. spent years of my life comparing what i ate to these types of women and always felt guilty for eating more.... eat the whole banana! eat the bread!
I’m sorry if they are triggering for you!
Unfortunately that’s the fitness world to you. I know people who don’t even eat bananas because of the sugar and wanting to keep a sixpack.
@@AbbeysKitchen i don't understand this? Why should this trigger anyone? How can anyone be so fragile? Its such a western thing . You do a great job. I enjoy it. I don't even know how these people are
@@punkqueen5664 The triggering pertains to eating disorders some people have. To them, even normal things such as calories, weight scales, diet examples, can trigger a bulimia/anorexic episode, for example.
We should not judge, this is a product of our sick society.
I’m 110 lbs, it usually doesn’t fluctuate and I eat the hell out of some bananas and bread. Sometimes a bit of ice cream too omg
I don’t trust people who don’t eat bread unless they have celiac
Yeah it gives me ED energy
I don’t eat a lot of bread, but I love baguettes, bread rolls and similar bread types. Normal sliced bread just doesn’t appeal to me.
😫
Same here; I have Celiac and would love to eat real, unprocessed bread. I miss carbs!
I don’t eat bread because I have been holistically healing Crohn’s disease (it worked!!) but honestly I never liked bread much and I don’t miss it lol. I love the way I eat now, idk. Maybe I’m just weird. I never liked pancakes either, even as a little kid 🤣
Is the no carbs thing like an American/ Canadian thing? I'm Dutch and I eat bread for breakfast and lunch, it's like a staple food here in the Netherlands.
Completely no! I would say that most of Americans even eat too many carbs - a lot of sweets, processed food, pancakes, bread etc. But low carb or keto diet unfortunately is getting popular in global medias, not only in USA or Canada, by diet culture. many popular celebrities are trying this and making videos, so you might have a feeling that it’s American thing. In fact, as I said, it’s only like this in social media, in reality a few people are actually on low carb diet.
It’s a staple food in America too. This is about extreme dieting in case you didn’t notice?
@@ml.9417 It was just a question? This channel mostly reviews non-European content creators/youtubers/celebrities and looking at the previous videos I noticed this non-carb trend. Therefore, I was just wondering if it is common in America/Canada. I don't live over there, so there is no way for me to know stuff like that, hence me asking the question since a lot of people watching Abby's videos do live there.
Same in Denmark and also scandinavia in generel. Biig bread nations 😁
@@Missemilie97 and Lithuania! We baked sourdough for ages and ages, i eat it all day long! How can people hate of fuckin bread 😀
Thanks for highlighting the risk of no period. I had an eating disorder as a teenager and never got a period. Found out I had osteoporosis at 19 years old. I’m 29 now, a mom of two, and am thankfully able to breastfeed. I haven’t had any fractures yet but the health of my bones is something that I think about quite often.
Thank you for sharing your experience with this. I’m glad that part was helpful
I also found out I had osteoporosis at 16 years old, so I think about this often as well - wish it were talked about more. Thank you for sharing - I'm so encouraged to hear that you are doing well
@@graysoncamille hey, also Kamila here 😊 wow, that is terrible… how are you able to keep yourself from getting injured? I also wonder what to eat to support my bones and skin. I think I was stuggling for a while with undereating myself, but only for a short time and I am 35, regular periods - so nothing dramatic. I just want to be healthy, have normal body fat and muscles. My issue is that there is such a huge amount of info regarding eating and workout, which contradict itself - I am so confused now about how many meals I should have, when to have the last one…. Even “experts” have often different approach towards this. I don’t want to starve or have less vitamins and minerals, but I don’t know how to deal with meals when I workout or go for very long hikes where I need more energy. Sugar is really demonized around me. Fat as well. I eat fruits and I love 70% cocoa chocolate. However, when I eat this my friend who is a trainer tells me it is too much, app I use (only sometimes) says the same. But on this channel I found out, that this tiny piece of chocolate is nothing and I still eat less sugar than I should. I am lost. So confusing.
I'm so sorry! That's so awful. This needs to be talked about more. I think when we are young we take our body's ability to heal for granted, we don't realize that yes, there can be permanent implications. Well, with ED sometimes the goal is coping with life and they are in too much pain to worry about the future, but for most kids with disordered eating habits watching these influencers that information could really help them
Hello!! Could you please share your symptoms? I had an ED and never got my period and am quite concerned now that I may have developed osteoporosis as well.
i‘m so overwhelmed and feel like having a healthy balanced diet is literally so complicated :(
as long as you focus on eating more whole foods and staying full, you will feel better.
A wise woman once said- pick something healthy and eat it. When you’re full, then great. Its your birthday? Have some fucking cake. Your body will thank u :>
If you feel like tracking calories would be a good decision for you, just focus on protein, and for the rest of it, just eat as healthy as is possible for you.
Its not. Just make each meal balanced with protein fat carb and fiber
remember to eat for what feels better physically, not always emotionally.

@@Msawesomet123 not the one she made...

She has to keep her body looking like that with a super low calorie diet because the truth is that’s why people go to her videos. Because she has an aspirational body and she is aware of this. She doesn’t offer anything else. Without it, she would lose followers and views because her workout videos aren’t anything expectational. Her entire following is built on her body, that’s how she markets herself, she’s dug her own self into this hole, so she’ll have to eat low af and maintain this no matter how hungry, miserable and destroying herself from the insides she is.
You hit the nail on the head. Sadly, I don’t think she would want to follow any of Abby’s gentle diet tips. She doesn’t want to eat more. She knows what she’s doing.
@@lainiritsch2192 The fact that she wants to get leaner is so alarming to me. But it’s her own fault really, she sold herself to the internet for her body instead of actually interesting content and personality so now she has to stay ‘hot body chick’ or people will move on.
I remember her posting a photo of her butt with something like: ‘showing your body is not bad. Everyone is made differently and should feel beautiful no matter what society expects us to look like’ 💀 she is so disconnected from regular people in my opinion.
It made me feel so bad for her. She is exactly what society expects women to look like. It horrifies me to make a whole career out of eating a low calorie diet, I think I would be so unhappy.
@@Esandeech2 As much as I wanna blame her I get it you know. Pretty girls are basically conditioned to believe that that’s the most valuable thing about them, so it’s not surprising it’s the only thing I see her investing in: her looks. Because let’s be real Daisy has 0 personality.

Ikr
No cause the reason why your skinny compare to us usa civilians is cause our food is heavyyyyyy processed so I don’t blame her lol
No no no…carbs here in America is worst then in Italy. My husband and I (doctor and nurse) super into diet and wonder why the Italians were so small in comparison to America…we took a trip down there last month. Turns out the carbs you guys eat is closer to the source, while in America our carbs are so heavily processed. Also, the oils America use is even worst…the oils we use (vegetable oil) is used in almost all our foods and that oil screws up with our mitochondria, which is the cell that helps with energy (ATP) makes it harder to make ATP among other things. There are studies and science to back this up. Italians use olive oil which is extremely healthy and a big deference in why Italians are some of the healthiest people in the word (particularly as you guys get older) It’s possible that the oils contribute to obesity more than the processed carbs even but there’s no hard evidence for that.
Just please don't mix things up! You're skinny DESPITE eating pasta and bread, not because of it. Pasta and bread have pretty much no nutritional value whatsoever, that's why it's not recommended if you're on low calorie diet
@@MrVafflis that’s so not true I hope you realise that. Bread like sourdough has many nutritional benefits and a lot of bread is a good source of fibre and protein. Don’t fear any food
I just can’t imagine being low carb, I honestly think a lot of women cut out carbs under the guise of low carb diet but it is really just a way to cut calories more, when I eat just protein and veggies I’m starving!!!
I'm with you, girl. A good balance of macros has always been good for me. A protein goal range is my only guideline - fats and carbs get filled in as I feel I need them! I've never done well on low carb nor low fat and neither of those are even necessary.
If you eat low carb you need to eat higher fat, which does make you really full. I eat eggs and bacon or avocado with full fat Greek yoghurt and low carb berries for breakfast and it keeps me full for hours.
I agree. I personally believe in incorporating carbs, protein, and fat in my diet because each has its own purpose for a reason, in my opinion. With the exception of medical conditions that require specific dietary needs and necessary restrictions, it's really not necessary to cut out a group (not including religious and lifestyle choices). People are over complicating it
@@ClurTaylor 100% I had so much trouble hitting my calories when I was on keto because I was super full all of the time

When I eat a banana, I'm pleased with myself for eating another serving of fruit and the various nutrients that come with it. It's so strange to see that some people are actually concerned about the carbs that come with bananas, as if it's somehow...unhealthy to eat a piece of fruit???
Though I don't usually eat a whole banana at a time anymore. I'm more likely to freeze it in bites, then cover it with chocolate. It's a yummy dessert, especially when I've run out of ice cream and won't let myself go to the store again until I'm also out of veggies. ^_^
Sounds amazing!
Do you like chunky monkey ice cream? I love the banana chocolate flavour but Ben & Jerry’s has so much sugar 🤢
@@zvezdoblyat I've never had it. I don't really do small servings of ice cream, so a tiny pint of Ben & Jerry's would disappear way too quickly, considering its cost. My inability to eat small servings is why I end up ice-cream-less for several days between grocery-shopping trips.

You should review Old Hollywood Diets- like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, etc: There are several accounts of what they would eat in a day.

@@AbbeysKitchen It'd be especially cool for Audrey Hepburn since her eating habits were sort of swayed by her childhood
@@cristinaelisabet9370 I read somewhere that Audery Hepburn's digestive system was severely damaged because had to survive off flour made from tulips during WWII (which I think is toxic?). It caused significant issues for her, her body wasn't able to absorb nutrients properly for the rest of her life and she had trouble eating/digesting a lot of foods. It's why she was so thin her whole life (according to what I read).
Idk if it’s true but I read that Judy garland’s agent would watch her at restaurants to make sure she wasn’t eating more than she should

As a Jamaican, we eat alot of carbs (ground provision) like yam, dumpling, sweet potato, Irish potato, white rice and bread (whole wheat and white), cassava. It's quite filling for us, especially men, sorry but no carbs only leaves my belly mostly empty 😂😂🤣💕🇯🇲
Black folks have gorgeous bodies, I might need to start eating like you guys lol
@@thriftyhs28 😂😂 be careful tho too much carbs isn't good for you , we still have our veggies and fruits as well as meat in our diet... It's all about portion size ☺️☺️
Tunge Trueee!!
YAY!!!! I didn't think we were getting a video today. I'm so happy it's here.
I hope you enjoy it!
In Germany you have to be 16+ years old to be allowed to buy energy drinks in supermarkets
That should be the case everywhere. They didn't exist until I was an adult, I remember trying red bull at 19 and I literally spat it out and never tried any others since, and I'm 34 now 😂
Agreed. It terrifies me how easily you can access those things here in the States
It's the same in the UK
@@trippysiren7966 that is kinda funny :D but therefore you are allowed to buy beer, wine, and sparkling wine at age 16 in Germany legally. I personally think that is not a good thing
Interesting!
I'll never let diet culture scare me away from fruit!!! Fruits are so healthy and give you so much energy - filled with important vitamins - love them
Bro thanks to fruits im not goin back to junk, agreed
and so yummy too
mango is my lifeeee
I agree that "counting macros" isn't part of the Intuitive Eating mentality, but I think that it's possible to incorporate nutritional guidance and knowledge into Intuitive Eating in practice. Aiming for your gentle-type nutrition suggestions can be a goal within a framework of listening to one's own cues, as long as you still listen carefully. So if you know in practice eating a solid amount of protein per meal is good but just don't feel it when you sit down to your plate today, it's okay to choose something different at that moment. But yeah, whatever Daisy is doing here is obviously not this.
Yes for sure! I have an entire video on my channel about gentle nutrition: m.czcams.com/video/AqGFeHLB1Co/video.html
My own method is just making as many meals from scratch with fresh ingredients as is possible for me.
I "count macros" by watching the amount of space each type of food occupies in the plate
I think Abbey is very professional in the way she reviews influencers diets. Great video! Made me realize I am still in a “diet” mindset with some foods. I always did the half banana thing 😂. I was told too much sugar don’t eat a whole one lol. How silly is that?!
The new intro and reaction clips were gold today.
Thanks!
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and allow me to just say wow, I love the way you educate in a well-rounded and informative manner while also having empathy for both your audience and the person you’re reviewing. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber and dedicated watcher :)
A b b e y, in your new kitchen you should have a framed needlepoint saying, "Eat the damn bread."
Great idea!
That’s actually genius and hilarious
@@AbbeysKitchen I second this, you really should have an Etsy shop make a needle point of this for you to hang up!
It took me YEARS to unlearn the idea of “good” and “bad” food. I used to restrict myself from eating “bad” food so much that I would end up binge eating it all and feeling sick after.
Hey Abbey, I'm currently a student dietitian and I absolutely love watching your video's. They provide so much evidence backed insight and I only wish more girls stumbled upon your video's when searching youtube for diet advice. As someone who has struggled to maintain a healthy relationship with food in the past, I would have been much better off if I had watched your content instead of following a calorie and macronutrient split from an unqualified "nutrition coach". Thank you for another awesome video!
Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad my videos are helpful for you!
This editing!! Makes me laugh so much and lightens the mood
I’m so glad!
Their eating pattern is definitely not ideal. But we have to consider the fact that they’re models. It’s their job to “intentionally trying to have a flat tummy and a big booty”. They’re making their livings out of it
You don’t have to be a model to intentionally try and have a flat stomach and big booty.
@@adreanaheavenholland sure, but that's because you might want to do that, not because your livelihood depends on looking that way:)
@@MidNightSummer0 Yes, I guess what I was trying to say is that’s the goal some people aim for whether they are an influencer or not.
Thanks for saying this! If most people's jobs were literally dieting and exercising things would be a lot different for most of us 😂
she also makes a living out of selling her health advice, despite having no credentials and an unhealthy relationship with food. nobody would be critiquing her diet if she wasn’t putting out videos promoting, and making money from it.
the editing in this video was amazing😂 added some lightness to a topic that can be kind of heavy to some
Thank you! I’m glad that was helpful
Watching your channel has truly changed my view on food! I used to diet very harshly, I was obsessed with eating only foods that were "healthy", and I would feel immense amounts of guilt for eating something that I would have considered cheating on my diet. Once when I was watching a video of yours a little while ago you said, "unless you stole it, all food is guilt free," and that really stuck with me. Since then I've been able to greatly improve my relationship with food and watching videos like this really helps me to understand nutrition better and allows me to continue making improvements to my mindset! Thank you!
I'm so glad my channel has been helpful for you!
Influencer culture makes you feel like moving and eating healthy is a chore or punishment for your “bad” looks or body. Deleted social media, deleted my own idolization of influencers....now I love to cook to feed my body natural vitamins and nutrition, and I love to move my body to remind me I’m strong and check in with myself. It’s really irresponsible for any influencer to give false information, especially as they know they are held as a beauty standard. This video reminded me of WHY we need people like abbey sharp...to give us a reality check on why we should love ourselves and our body, and how we can nurture ourselves properly
Aw thank you, I'm so glad it was helpful!
Abbey I really appreciate that you share your knowledge with us. I really love your channel and is really helpful for someone like me who is struggle with ED since 16 years. Thank you 😊
Thank you, I’m so glad it’s helpful!
I always find myself screaming THANK YOU at some point in your videos. Thank you for calling out diet culture & misinformation. Also, super entertaining to hear you retitle the video you're reviewing ✨
I'm so glad they're helpful for you!
watching your videos and really listening to the way you talk about food, has really opened my eyes to my relationship with it. I so greatly appreciate your commentary and love that you base so much of it on science!! thank you for these videos, a lot of what is preached by these “influencers” nowadays, can be toxic even if not intended that way
I'm so glad they are helpful for you!
You should check out the podcast maintenance phase!! They similarly debunk all sorts of diet culture bullshit
For those asking about the stigma around bread in North America I have some answers! Because of our ability to make everything unhealthy and cheap, the most readily available bread to us is white bread filled with preservatives and a ton of sugar, the ‘wonder white bread’ is typical. That does not mean we dont have amazing bakeries who bake fresh and delicious sourdough, rye or nice breads. BUT people refer to the wonder white bread as the baseline, in which it is not healthy or very good for you.
But I agree, good fresh bread is amazing and its not the enemy and it’s unfortunate that so many people fail to see this!
Thank you for sharing!
Some MASSIVE ed red flags in here 😥 having bread is "ok cuz you're going to work it off", earning a full banana instead of half by working out. Plus the body checking...
that's not body checking. spreading ignorance about eds is harmful. watch of herbs and altars video on it .
@@intheflatfield3851 hey could you tell me wut body checking is ? I personally have never experienced having an ED and i’ve been seeing alot of ppl especially on tiktok get in trouble for not putting trigger warnings on body checking videos and i wanna be educated on it i googled it but im still confused
@@laundrycat1254 ok i see this makes sense cause i wasn’t understanding why people were commenting under sum tiktoks to put a trigger warning in videos of them like (TRIGGER WARNING) flexing or showing how slim their body is from a side angle. thank you
also i hope u r doing well in ur recovery
@@intheflatfield3851 Ayy was just going to comment this! Influencers showing their body in the mirror on cam a few times is not body checking... that's just being self absorbed. Body checking is typically a very private and monitored activity
@@taciabombo3368 Like they said I would go watch the Of Herbs and Altars video on it. They do a great job explaining :)
Honestly thank you for the reminder that these diets won’t guarantee these results. I watch this kind of content all the time and constantly wonder why I can’t achieve the results they are. Definitely subscribing
Just subscribed. So important to have someone like you really dig in to these influencer diets. You speak with so much respect and knowledge- yet remain honest and open about this kind of dieting
Abbey: I thought the activated charcoal trend was dead
My face knowing I just saw an Instagram influencer promoting activated charcoal pills when you drink to “absorb the toxins in alcohol and prevent hangover”: 😳
😫😫
This does work, because it stops the alcohol from being absorbed, so you wouldn't get the effects from alcohol at all
I mean isn't the whole idea of drinking alcohol to get kind of drunk?
I love how you don’t tell someone what they should or shouldn’t do but you give advisories. And let ppl make their own decisions. I feel waaay more educated on health.
Totally! So glad it's helpful
This is the first video I've watched on your channel and I am just so impressed! This video was beautifully produced, full of well explained informations that seemed to be based in since, and a very careful gentle language! I love it!
Yes this needed to be said! So many fitness influencers out there giving incredibly incorrect information. I used to be one of these girls that thought I could change my genetics just by following their diets/starving myself/overly training my body. Thank god I found science
Totally!
I know you said this filming set up is temporary but I actually prefer this setting. It feels cozy :)
The really, really scary part is a large part of her main demographic (or a larger part than a lot of influencers since she is from tik tok) is likely girls 13 and under watching this and internalizing having to defend things like 2 pieces of bread...
I will never forget attending a miss Florida pageant, seeing tons of young girls ages 6 and up aspiring to be like the contestants, and listening to the last years winner say on stage “We all know bread is the devil.” Ya’ll just eat the bread…. Thank you for propping up eating bread. So sad that this even needs saying.
Your skin is so glowy and makeup looks on point. I'm now waiting till after this video to see if you have any makeup or skincare videos.
Aw thank you!
Hi I'm from Italy so I must say, eat your carbs! I thibk the secret to feed your body is finding an equilibrium in what we eat, not cutting out certain types of food
For sure!
Hey Abbey! I clicked as soon as I got the notification! I wanted to say thank you so much for all the information you provide and for creating a kind and supportive community. I've recently started intuitive eating after watching your videos and realised that I have become so much happier and more physically / emotionally satisfied with my meals and day to day life. Thank you so much for making your videos!
Aw thank you so much, I’m so glad they’re helpful!
I love your honest comments. This is so so so so so helpful. Intuitive eating is hard and sometimes people try to do that, but it’s actually a very advanced technique if your eating habits are out of tune to begin with.
Abbey i love the new setup, you look way more comfortable sitting in that little chair!
Thank you!
Banana is such a good source of potassium! And smile while eating bread...
It's bread! But to each is own! I love your information keep up the good work.
Thanks!
This is why I love you Abbey! So firm and yet so kind. Thanks for always steering us in the right direction. I would so love to see you review Autumn Bates intermittent fasting channel. Bought her program before finding your channel and the main recommendation was to have a smoothie for breakfast which for some reason I couldn’t ever get into doing. It made me feel guilty and like I was failing the program if I couldn’t replace one of my meals with a smoothie or workout on an empty stomach.
I like your new approach: if you take charcoal pills, you will give birth to Will Ferrell.
😂
😂
I watched this video is Daisys last night and I’m proud to have pointed out a lot of the things you said!! I’m not an RD obviously but I’ve learned so much from my own interests/research/education in food & nutrition as well as your channel! Thanks for these videos! Your nonjudgmental & whole hearted advice is strongly needed here on CZcams ❤️
I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel today! As a future dietitian, I love hearing your opinions and scientific reasons for those. I’m about to watch probably like ALL of your videos for the rest of the day!😂
Aw thank you!
I watch these and it makes me want to be an influencer just so Abbey will review my food, lol
I have a series where I review subscribers meal submissions, stay tuned for the next one!
omg u r so respectful and informative tysm. from someone struggling w eating issues and over exercising i appreciate u
One pet peeve I have is when someone will put a “I’m not a dietician or doctor” disclaimer, and then later go on to offer blanket medical or nutritional advice 🤦♀️
Can we just take a second to appreciate how good Abbey always looks
Aw thank you so much!
That’s what I’m saying!
you are one of the best youtubers ever omfg this video…..your message…..as someone who has dealt for years with body image issues and starving myself, seeing the way you talk about health and food and life in general is very empowering and so helpful!! thank you!!!!!
Your blush/bronzer/highlighter is looking so good! I agree, bread is not the devil. I have noticed that around 30 grams of carbs usually leaves me feeling satiated, energized and not sluggish so really often I am grateful for the perfection that is a slice of toast!(I don't count macros, it was just something I noticed.)
Aw thank you! And that sounds great 😊
Wow, first time watching your videos and I am just in love. I really like how you explain everything in a non-judgmental way while still pointing out the serious flaws these influencers have with their often harmful diet videos! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see more videos (definitely going on a watching spree tonight LOL).
I just started seeing a nutritionist and I hope to supplement your videos along with her guides for more support! Would love to see videos on IBS and/or anxiety management via diet in the future if you ever have the time 😊
Thank you, I'm so glad you find them helpful! I have a video about the low fodmap trial on my channel that you might find helpful: czcams.com/video/uP_i8ZaA2wE/video.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharp
@@AbbeysKitchen Thank you so much! Gonna watch that tonight 😊
That ‘Eat it’ cut killed me 😆
😂
Your healthy view on food is so refreshing! I’ve been unhappy with my body for a while. I was the biggest girl in my ballet class which influenced my view on my body at a young age, especially when an entire wall was a mirror. I used to just stand in front of it wondering whether I had a thigh gap, what a thigh gap even was, and whether or not it was a good thing to have. My family are also all super fit - my brother and sister are naturally very thin, my mum runs a lot, and my dad is a world-champion 1500m runner. As I got older, stuff started piling up. There was a solid few months when I couldn’t look in the mirror because every time I did I started crying. I’m lucky Covid cancelled my prom because I was planning to starve myself in the run up. I’m on study leave and recently I’ve been eating a meal a day. But I woke up today and decided to take another approach - I’ve made a beginner’s workout routine and I’m learning about what amount of food is actually healthy for me. Sorry for the long comment but I want you to know how grateful I am for helping me in my journey to be healthier and look the way I want!
Oh god I’m 35 and never ever been on any diet or cutting carbs or whatever. I always eat what I want and when I want it. Could be 5 chocolate bars a day or pasta every night for weeks. And I’ve always been slim and healthy. Just eat and live your life people
