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

Okay. So why are we picking this girl apart? If there’s such an issue here, just leave it alone. Who cares if she looks different on Instagram vs in real life. Most people do. And yes, if you want to look like her, you can not eat a lot. It’s not realistic at all, but it’s a choice that we are all entitled to make. Just like drinking alcohol or smoking…your body your choice, doesn’t mean it’s good for ya. Pick your battles.
Interesting point! I'll pin this to see what others think. I love hearing diverse opinions!
I agree. She's making bad choices for herself, and I believe that's the point of this video: to show that no, that is not a good choice for many many reasons, just like smoking or using other drugs. But doesn't make her a bad person. She didn't create the diet mentality and probably suffers herself a lot with it. So what are we battleling here? Her? Or our own mentality about beauty and bodies and happiness...? 🤔
The problem is when these influencers promote and sell stuff to look like a version of themself that it’s not even themself…
I don’t want to live in a world where it doesn’t matter that she looks different in real life… promoting anorexia is not cool… everybody makes choices but fake people should not be allowed to tell others what to eat. Her video on what she eats is absolutely disgusting.
agreed
Please don’t stop being critical, I’m sick of normalizing everything. I really needed a reality check, thank you
Agreed. And please don’t ever apologize for brutal honesty. You’re not malicious at all.
Yes! People are so quick to dismiss everything nowadays. Everyone is so naive and not interested in being educated and following the truth
THIS!
@@carolenegabrail320 wow, this is gonna be my new motto. * don't ever apologize for brutal honesty*
@@carolenegabrail320 God is coming back soon!! Repent and Believe!! God loves you and wants a relationship with you 🫶🏽
It’s sad how many influencers boil down to “under-eat and buy my shit so you can attempt to look like a version of me that I, myself, don’t even look like”
It is more like a photoshooted version of me that i don't even look like in real life
💯
Nailed it
THIS.
Kinda similar to the celebs who get a ton of work done on their faces then use that to sell their makeup brand, behaving as if its all natural and that with the makeup you could look like that too.
You showing your belly relaxed just helped me mentally sooo tremendously. I'm a small person like you but constantly seeing these girls with their completely flat 24/7 waist makes me self conscious about mine and I'm only 120lbs and freaking 35! I can't even imagine how a young girl/teen feels in this day and age. But seriously, thank you Stephanie!!!
Yeah social media is so toxic for young minds. It’s also addictive and hard to get out of it when your in it yk.
Have a awesome life ❤️
being 18 and 97lbs, i am a very small girl. with that being said, the amount i struggle with just my stomach alone is insane. i know i am VERY skinny, ive struggled with it my entire life, but with the mentality that i have, i view myself as NEEDING ! a completely flat stomach or i feel extremely disgusting about myself. from the age of 16, ive been keeping up with chloe and daisy and i have obsessed over their stomachs alone. i bloat and i have that little lower belly fat and my ribs stick out a lot, from what they put out, every time i see my stomach not posed and sucking in it makes me feel disgusting about myself. but seeing her go from posed to normal and seeing it resemble mine, i feel much healthier about myself. it helps me feel more normal. and i appreciate it more than anything
But it's not their fault if they have flat stomachs and wants to show it off. Glorifying that is wrong. But it's still their wish
@@nowrins9507 of course its not their fault. as i said i am very skinny and have a normal healthy body. but the titles "here is how to get a flat stomach in a week" is not very healthy. not only that is that they never show what they look like unposed and what they look like through the day. their diet videos and the things they say are not healthy for younger minds. it feeds the idea of under-eating and "your body should look like this 24/7" and its just not a good thing
@@briuchiha7397 no I'm not defending this particular person. Nor am I defending anyone who believes this way. If I had a flat stomach in the middle of the day like before having food, i felt confident about the way I looked and I wanted to take a picture and just share it on social media, I don't think there is anything wrong with that. But advocating an ED Or glorifying it Or spreading the idea that only a certain type of body is perfect is wrong. That's what I meant to say. Posting a skinny pic is not toxic but advocating that it's the perfect archetype is toxic.
I love Daisy. What I’m not ok with is that she says “this food/this workout” is how you get an hourglass body. Despite body types being genetic and she has breast implants!
Her workouts helped me lose 25 pounds, but it won’t give you a body type you don’t naturally have. At least not without surgery
This. You can not change your overall body shape without surgery.
I feel like the hourglass shape has become so distorted to begin with. most of the celebs and influencers with hourglass shapes are *not* natural. you can be thin with an hourglass shape, but you don't get the huge butts and boobs they do without fat. hourglass figures tend to be heavier and I really, really wish these people would stop selling the body they got through surgery as something they got naturally or as the "right body shape"
Yes absolutely! I love Daisy's workouts and they definitely help me with toning some areas, but if I lose any extra weight to make areas more defined it comes from my chest first... and my hair starts to fall out. I've realized I'm not supposed to be that slim and I'd rather keep my chest the way it is.
@@annanicole5433 exactly!!!
right! she can do whatever she wants but saying that a 10 minute bodyweight workout will give you a big butt is just plain wrong and she's very aware of that.
It’s WILD how people will look at fit influencers and think they are healthy. When 80% of them have eating disorders. It’s so scary.
It is also very sad. No one should feel that their worth is based on how they look. I have had many accquiatances who were models and many of them were self centered bullies. Looks are very deceiving on social media
I was diagnosed with an eating disorder 8 years ago. I would NEVER purport doing what I did. I was literally dying. I wanted to be healthy and I wanted to eat. I suffered and it wasn't my choice. This lady is ACTIVELY perpetuating her obvious eating disorder and not only that, but marketing it and selling it. No respect because of that. None. You don't do that to other women if you love women.
I am 52 and can attest that when you get to my age give / take things start catching up with you. You're only seeing them looking good because in youth you can bounce back quickly-

@@jenni.getstrongxo I hope you are taking care of yourself now. I suffered from an ED going on 12 years now but have been in recovery for about 2 years💖
I'm so tired of people promoting EDs and naming them "what i eat for a flat stomach"...
I really hate that we all should want to have a flat stomach to feel beautiful
giving healthy eating tips isn’t promoting eds
@@iloveazaeliabanks Yeah cuz eating 1 piece of bread and half of banana isn't promoting to starve yourself to look skinny while eating too little food, but atleast she's eating fruits and vegetables ig so that's healthy lol

@@steveharringtonswife4797 ...
when i was younger, i used to watch these influencers' "what i eat in a day" videos and think "wow there must be something wrong with me, why am i eating too much?!?!" and i used to feel guilty about eating "too much" which was actually the normal amount for a healthy human. it's so dangerous that especially young girls are being encouraged to have such unhealthy eating habits. thank you so much stephanie for making this video, i'm sure this will be helpful and eye-opening for a lot of people.
as a young girl you shouldn't watch her
that's y i struggled with an ed for years
@@anisakalloe3247 true...maybe they should start making these videos restricted somehow.

You’re so healing for my eating disorder I hope you know how many people you’re helping
I hope you recover from it 💙💙💙
@@unnecessary111 I’ve been in recovery for a while but I’ll keep going, thank you :)
I had an eating disorder too i hope you get better soon we can do this
I’m so glad I grew up with a sister who was a nutritionist and personal trainer. She taught me that you need to eat in order to have a “nice” body because you need fuel to build muscle.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. I wish more fitness influences were promoting the actual truth!!!
This is so true, most people don't get how the human body works and fitfluencers like Daisy take advantage of that and it is predatory behaviour to do this. I was also lucky I took a whole year's course in Nutrition and foods and their nutritive value to understand it whilst doing my bachelor's degree in development economics. My professor taught us quite well and I never forget his lessons
@Jade yeah it's all just to be healthy, a healthy version of you
Same! My mom is a behavioral psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorder treatment and her support definitely saved me a from lot of trouble
as someone with chronic illnesses her diet and videos are the only thing keeping my illness at bay, she’s actually helpful for me
We absolutely need to be critical of these people, no caveats, no "respecting" their grind. They are profiting off of promoting unrealistic standards, perpetuating the objectification of women, and encouraging dangerous behaviors. However much these influencers are also subject to systemic oppression and pressure, they are not only benefiting from but propogating an unhealthy society.
Totally agree with this! While I don’t think we should be “attacking” these women but I do think we need to be calling them out and critical of them. Yes they need to pay bills too and unfortunately this is one major way to do it these days but they are only making the body image worse and making money off of the insecurities of other women while promoting a false truth
100% agree!!!!!
@@theflameofsnow2323 can't tell if you're a troll or not. Yes, there are many pretty women. That's not a news flash. However, not all women are promoting dangerous and unhealthy lifestyles to millions of followers on social media. Young kids who are impressionable will try to follow the diet she's promoting while they still need to grow and learn at school. It is not about jealousy. It is about the harm they are doing, promoting unreal and unhealthy living standards to KIDS. I am a pretty woman myself but I won't go around disturbing other people's lives just because I can. These fitfluencers have a serious lack of decency and introspection.
Totally right, we should be critical of them. Really boils my piss how they are profiting from us. I feel its taken me to get to my mid 30s to actually understand how fake these influencers are and to feel happy in myself. All I hope is that the younger women get to watch these videos
@@theflameofsnow2323 mate I was days away from losing my best friend to anorexia. If anyone advocates eating half a banana instead of a full one then they need calling the fuck out. It’s not about being prettier or skinnier it’s about being a fuckin danger to impressionable young women.
I remember the exact moment I stopped comparing myself to Instagram models was the moment I realized it's NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE to have a waist smaller than your head, yet they all did 😂😂😂
Bruh the amount of time it took me to realize this is insane.
yup. I unfollowed ever single 'influencer' or fitnes person minus some like Emi wong and whatnot. Even Pamela riff or however you spell her name had me FOOLED thinking she was a slim thicc gal. NOPE!! She's actually really tiny
It's so validating to hear you speak about portion sizes! I feel like my mom always told me that amount was too much, and in my head that looks like a lot of food. I love my mom to death but she eats like one cracker and says she is full. If she has a big ("big") lunch she says she doesn't have to eat until the next day. I'd make one piece of toast and she'd make a comment if I went to get another or if I used "too much" butter. It's so toxic and I never fully realized it until my 20s how harmful it was.
It was so freeing when I started dating my boyfriend because he was like "no, that is not too much. That is not enough."
I feel like I have been a lot kinder to myself :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your food portions growing up, your mother had such an unhealthy perception towards eating (and I'm sorry for her too, something must have caused that amount of restraint) and that influenced you too :((
On the flip side, your boyfriend sounds like a great person! I'm happy for you and I hope you can recover from what you were taught to believe ❤️
@@halfagony-halfhope Aww thank you so much for your reply❤ I have definitely gotten so much better!
I also feel sorry for my mom. I don't see her perception changing any time soon, but since I've gotten older I've been more vocal with challenging her food-related comments and decisions! I hope that will make a difference some day.
Same but my mom gave me and my sis drugs and taught us how to puke so sorry u went through that
i go to a gym where many “fitness influencers” go. i literally watch them walk around with a $4,000 camera, do 2 workouts that they post online, then stand around and do nothing the majority of the time. they’re juiced up along with their egos. they are NOT healthy.
A few months ago I saw this girl who walked in, and within 0.1 second, six-eight feet away, I could tell that she was wearing a full face of makeup, like as if she was going to an event. Some girls prerogative at the gym is more to get noticed than to actually exercise.
@@hannahlevin3286 okay being a judgmental douche doesn’t make you morally superior either lol. Who cares if she wants to wear makeup to the gym? Do your exercise and mind your business.
@@hannahlevin3286 well that part is okay, maybe she feels happy with makeup, or she felt like doing it, that doesnt harm anyone and she doesnt have to want attention at all
@@toshix6001 Never said it harmed anybody or was bad. I love doing glamorous makeup too,- just not for the gym. It would sweat off.
Is doing 2 workouts not enough for you? lol what...are you supposed to do 3 workouts instead?
Just when I was feeling insecure about my body. I really appreciate these videos.
Same here. I just gained 50 lbs in less than three months and i have been hating myself... 🥺 A lot...
@@yourlocalhopedealer2162 never hate the body you are in! In 10 years time you will wish you had the body you have right now! Take it from us who are 10 and 20 and 30 years ahead of you! Just be healthy and happy in your own skins lassies!
I'm sure U are beautiful always say this to yourself
@@annafclare no. They are saying that they can relate to the insecurity struggles. They never said anything negative about anyone else's body? I think you are confused about the tone of this message and are taking it wrong.
Same. I gained some weight since the beginning of this year and recently saw my friend that lost around the same amount that i gained. We're the same height and were similar in body size, but now i feel huge even though I understand that we don't look that different. This video was like a breath of fresh air from all my thoughts
my best friend nearly died from anorexia last year. it was scary for everyone and a huge wake up call. After intense professional care she has recovered her weight, but still struggles with her body image. Your content is so important and I especially love your information on nutrition. You have no idea how far it goes ❤️
😳
I love that you're not scared to express your opinion freely. Not everyone likes it in life, but as a brutally honest person, I can confirm that being 100% real is the best you can do for yourself and others too. By the way, I totally agree with you, regards daisy keech's lifestyle and diet.
These people are professionally good looking. If they don't look good (which includes adopting the current trendy aesthetic) they don't get paid. Whenever you see ANYONE in the media including influencers, singers, actors, even politicians. You are seeing a product.
You don't compare your Big Mac to what's in the ads so don't compare yourself to these marketing images either.
Best comment. I tried explaining to my daughter that all these actors get work done and they have to exceptionally beautiful to even be a celebrity because it’s part of the job/appeal. So please don’t compare yourself to Disney stars.
Wowwww. Good way of putting it.
Yep u put the idea in my head now .. from now on I'm referring to Influencers as Big Macs 😂😭
Thanks man this comment needs to be up on billboards tbh
this
The thing about diet and fitness culture is that everyone's bodies are vastly different from their height, to their weight and even your very own DNA. Someone else's diet or fitness routine can possibly make you very ill because of these factors, it works for them but that doesn't mean it'll work for you. There's also the fact that some people aren't entirely transparent, they also heavily edit their pictures before sharing it on social media. Let's not forget it can also be mentally damaging, constantly comparing yourself to an unrealistic standard. Find a fitness routine that works for your body, find a healthy balanced diet that works for your body.
Fr 💯
Yup. Just finds what works for you without getting too unhealthy.
I have no idea how anyone can enjoy life eating like that. I would be miserable if I gave up pizza.
😂😂😂
Facts! I LOVVE pizza and these past 3 months I lost 30lbs….I still ate pizza just not as often and not as many slices per meal…and exercise…some people are too much I swear
@@mcu1019 good for you!! That isn’t easy! I also lost 15 pounds just by eating less and walking a lot. I still eat all the food I love. People don’t understand they don’t need to deprive themselves. If you want to lose weight you just need a calorie deficit, and not a big one because that isn’t healthy. Keep enjoying that pizza!! 🍕😝
thing is... they dont :(
i do her workouts but i still eat the same way i do just drink water only instead of juice n stuff
The amount of food she eats(or rather, doesn’t) literally scares me.
So glad I have a healthy relationship with food and that I’m not afraid to eat food I love. Balance and moderation has been my family’s modo.
Why would you have a relationship with food? Relationship is reciprocal, and requires another living being.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 I don't think they meant it in that way
There’s NO WAY you can build a butt on a diet that restrictive!! Unless she has crazy good genetics- aka naturally carries her body fat in her butt and not her stomach. Glutes are made up of body fat and muscle- when you’re starving yourself like she is, you’re not going to have any muscle because you NEED fuel (food!) to build it! Thank you for doing this video!!
Yesssss I was thinking about this
Am I the only one who thinks she looks average at best? Very plain face. She isn't tall nor she has no long legs or Angelina Jolie face. Her body is absolutely attainable, yes,she is fit and doesn't eat much,but nothing fantastically gorgeous or drop dead insanely beautiful. She looks fine tho. But I don't understand the hype. Very photoshopped photos and still isn't as insanely beautiful as 90s supermodels.
It could be that she does that diet like body builders where they have phases for gaining muscle with caloric surplus and then phases for definition with caloric deficit. But even then it would be very dangerous not to disclose that to viewers and explain that this is unsustainable
That's called body recomposition. That's basically what she shows in order to recomposition her body aka big butt but still keeping that small waist.
@@vimanaarchitects2151 I find her very pretty, but I don't think her face is really the topic here. She can't really do much about that in real life.
TRIGGER WARNING:
When I had a very serious ED I ate almost the same amount as her and sometimes less. I would restrict myself everyday. One piece of toast seemed too much, a whole banana seemed too much, as small snack seemed too much. I knew I had a problem but kept lying to myself. If I had seen her videos when I had a horrible ED it would have fed that lie. I would have believed I didn’t actually have a problem. I would not have gotten help. Her videos are so SO SOOOO harmful. I’m appalled and yet feel so sorry for her.
Yeah from the way she talks about food she could have an eating disorder. I had an eating disorder too now I have a really good relationship with food and what she said sounds problematic.
Even my daughter, 2, eats more than her.
ya its sad how much this can affect people...i hope your doing well!
Yeah and like absolutely no one with any real
Training or knowledge in nutrition would tell you that a piece of dry toast is an acceptable breakfast. Hello protein where are you?
@@nelloitt6910 thank you! I am since recovered thank god. I hope she starts eating healthier and more too. 😭
i hope u got over it. I can relate to this so much! until a few months ago i also always restricted myself. Sometimes forgot to eat for 3 days straight and was always scared to gain weight because i got told since i was little that i am chubby. Especially my father fed my insecurities cause he always told me when i gained a bit of weight telling me to eat less sweets and always talking about women and that they have to be small and petite so obv. if u hear that since u are small u will internalise it. I am now 21 and i still suffer from my horrible relationship to food and my fucked up body image. idk how it was in ur case ( i am sorry i am kinda trauma dumping rn i hope thats ok) but i didnt feel lovable and still struggle with acknowledging that my worth does not get defined by my body count or looks in general. I eat better now tho. thanks to my really supportive bf who made sure i ate at least one meal per day when he noticed how bad it was and now i am at a point where i actually get hungry again and also snack and even gained weight. sometimes i think a little too much but then i think to myself that when i was skinny i also wasnt happy so rather eat and work on selfconfident rather than not eat and still hate myself. I hope u have a good support system as well and are doing better too! 🥰
I had to subscribe to your channel because this video brought me on the verge of tears. so many of these influencers normalize and promote eating 800-900 calories a day and as a 16 year old girl I fell into that trap. I'm 20 now and still got a lot more recovering to do, but I love to see ppl like you on the internet. This is such a safe space for many of us!
Daisy Keech mentality with food reminds me of me a lot of myself when I was struggling with an Ed ;( I hope that she realizes this isn’t good for her and overcomes it. I hope one day she can be her best happy self & feed her body the proper way she needs it & not by obsessive counting or rewarding yourself when it’s something your body really needs!! No women deserves to suffer like that. Also the banana mentality was literally me when I suffered with a huge calorie restriction ;(
Plus those influencers selling their programs & meal plan without having a nutrition/dietition or professional training background always irritates me 😥
Yeah like they know a thing about health or care about it😣
Also selling questionable weight loss teas and whatnot
Its downright dangerous
Yes!
Yeah but I also blame the consumer. Like you work hard for your money, why are you giving it to someone with no evidence of experience or knowledge
@@Rain_Reign it really isnt baby
Its scary how because of plastic surgery and social media everyone is beginning to look the exact same and people are getting rid of/hiding features which make them beautiful and unique, its honestly heartbreaking.
I find average people far more interesting to look at because of what you said.
I don’t admire these build a bear faces and bodies.
Yeah… even Bella Hadid said in a video, that she regrets getting a nose job, because now she doesn’t have her dads nose anymore. 😔 that made me sad… because I think that she got her nose job as a teen. Right?
@@johannap5844 yeah, she got it when she was 14. Probably pressured by her mom too
There’s a Twilight Zone episode about this. It’s called “Number 12 Looks Just Like you” Once every girl hits a certain age she’s allowed to pick from two different “looks” and then she is given plastic surgery to look that way. It’s literally what’s happening today.
yea i was suprised to see how she looked before. she had small lips and a unique not small nose but she looked so much prettier to me. but its not what gets you to be an extremely popular influencer sadly
Girl, I love you. You legit bitch slap me the fuck back into reality that my body needs to be nourished. I have a love-hate relationship with, mostly I view it as an enemy because I so fat as a kid and when I started nasty diet and unhealthy ways of loosing weight I got so thin and I loved it. But as I grow old, I think I damaged my metabolism, I am every so slowly but sure trying my best to unsubscribe to the diet culture, it's soooooo hard but I'll get there, one step at a time ❤️
Cheering you on💛
The problem began when we started putting body image over health. When I was in one of the worst phases of loathing my body, I tried to survive on less than what Daisy claims to eat. I was always spacing out and passed out in less than a week. There is no way she can follow that regime without severe health deficits, and it's sad to see her cash in on people's insecurities without stopping to consider just how dangerous she is.
‘Putting body image over health’ hit the nail on the head with that one!
It has come to my attention that perhaps the paparazzi pictures of 'Daisy' in the black shorts is not Daisy, but a different influencer. It's hard to say, as some websites claim the pictures are of Daisy, and some say they are of someone else. When I was researching for this video, many apparently reputable websites were claiming these photo were of Daisy, hence why I included them in the video. Now as I am not an investigative journalist, I can't say for sure whether it's her or not, so either way as there is doubt, I am removing this section from the video. Perhaps Daisy does have a waist that is as small as her head?
Maybe if she had some ribs removed. I was a size double zero and weighed 100lbs when I was 20 and I’m 5’6. I have a very petite skeleton and had a crazy fast metabolism and never had a waist that small.
When she was making her smoothie video, you could see her waist, and it wasn’t as tiny as her photos.
I’m confused why she doctors her photos but then shows her real waist in her videos?
I don’t understand why people follow these types of people. But, I’m also in my mid 40s, and I mostly just don’t care about worldly things anymore (so freeing!).
Stephanie, you are such a hero for bringing women back to reality and helping them to not compare themselves or be “influenced” by these influencers who are sadly very bad role models. Much love to you! ❤️
She certainly does not, daisy is definitely fit and skinny but that does NOT mean she doesn’t photoshop the hell out of her photos. If you have ever watched videos of her on her channel you can see her waist is not the same as it appears on instagram. Also, it’s not hard to tell when a waist is altered to look a size that in unrealistic lol.
If anything that just really shows how many "influencers" are like copy and pastes. Can't even tell the difference between them anymore.
People not understading why you make these videos should not be a concern to you. We love your content and not everybody is going to love it, sadly. However, I think you make a great job showing us the reality of these influencers. Keep up with the good job, no matter what Stephanie
I’m so happy to hear you discussing this. As a fitness professional for over 35 years, a former gym owner for 25 years, a NASM Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Behavior Modification and Nutrition Coach, AthleticTrainer and Master Yoga Teacher I couldn’t agree with you more. This unrealistic standard is destroying our young women! Eating like this is considered a Disorder! She is not getting enough macro or micro nutrients to be healthy much less build healthy muscle! She’s at risk for sarcopenia or muscle wasting which will set her up for many health issues down the road!
I’m currently working towards getting my CPT with NASM!! Loved your comment! Totally agree that these types of influencers are greatly harming our young women. :(
eating like this is the only thing that helped me and my chronic illnesses. I’ve been to the doctors several times and i don’t have an eating disorder. Her videos helped me a lot and my poor eating habits
The things I did to lose weight while maintaining a healthy eating habit was just eating less fried/greasy food, minimalize rice consumption, and avoid manufactured snacks, sugary soda drinks, and junkfood altogether. I'm a picky eater and I hate vegetables but I try to eat some every chance I get. I replaced snacks with fruits and whenever I have cravings, I would drink water until I feel full. I did all this without working out and lost weight (the results really shows in 6 months), I still allow myself to eat whatever I want (in moderation), no suffering needed.
Although at some point I did exercise to help myself get fit because I'm a student who sits on the chair all day. But it helped me improving my mood, my mental health, my stamina and strength, I became happier and more confident in general! It felt great and I hope others can feel that too ^^
To anyone reading this please just listen to your body and know that dietary choices are not a one- size-fits-all
no hate to the person who wrote this comment, I just want others to not compare themselevs💞
@@null7714 No hate but your comment is giving "projection". No one here is comparing themselves??
THANK YOU. SO glad you addressed the eating issues we face in our culture as women!! We're so pressured into being under nourished, overworking ourselves, and eating WAY less than what is supportive for our bodies. And we wonder why we have so many hormonal issues! I recently discovered how undernourished I was, and realized how much better I feel now that I'm not starving myself! My anxiety and stress levels went wayyy down as well. It was amazing.

yall its a joke chill
I want to hear from the MEN here. Honest answers: When you see these photos do you believe they are natural?
As a woman I can tell they are photoshopped immediately, and it breaks my heart knowing there are men who look at these photos and expect us to look like that in real life without photoshop.
Honestly I don’t think we should be caring about the opinions of men who can’t distinguish between photoshop and reality
I have some boy friends who think they're all real, and when I tell them it's obviously photoshop cuz that's biologically impossible, they say that I'm envious hahahaha poor things. When they go out and see real women, they'll be disappointed :'( (sarcasm, who tf cares silly ppl get disappointed 😂)
@@fridaal634 they’re so stupid 😂 i mean guys wil be guys but my brother believes the body isn’t a turn off or a turn on
when one of my exes first saw me naked, he stopped what we were doing to tell me that he expected me to look like an instagram model. i asked him why he felt the need to say that and he said it’s because their bodies are what he likes, and he thought all women looked like them naked. he said he didn’t know that they got surgery or edited their pics or used specific angles 🙃
i wish i was exaggerating because it honestly broke my heart, i hate to get upset over an idiot’s opinion but i still cry about it 2 years later
@@pizzaraccoon8202 I'm so sorry that happened to you 😟 that is honestly insane!!! 😡🤦🏼♀️
When I used to undereat like this as a teen, I lost my period and was always both freezing cold and very moody, quick to snap at family members. If that isn't nature's way of telling you you're doing something "wrong", idk what is!
Thanks for addressing and counteracting this trend - even if only one person who needed prompting to think more deeply about real, generalisable healthy living standards sees this vid, it'd be worth it! I could fume over social media for hours but mostly just try to avoid the negative influence of ideology like that on the daily.
Wait. I never knew how damaging this was. I followed those “eat with me videos” thinking that I would have abs and a tiny waist. I’d be so hard on myself when I couldn’t follow an insane workout plan that was very demanding for someone new to fitness. Then I would watch the “I tried the ….diet and workout for a week” and boom! I felt worse bc I saw that they had results from something I gave up on. I feel like you helped me recognize and validate that experience. Those videos had millions of views, I can’t imagine how many women felt bad about not being able to stick to the diet/workout
I had the smallest and flattest stomach last year, i felt so so pretty and everyone praised me. I even had 2 lines on my abs like kpop idols. But i was also losing my hair so much, my nails will just break all the time and i didn’t have my period for over a year. I have went to the doctor and gained some weight now. And now i can see that i was severely under eating at that time. I only had 2 boiled eggs everyday for a whole year, only had black coffee as my ‘breakfast’, avoided carbs like crazy and workout 2hrs a day every single day. It’s still really really hard now because even my family would say i looked the prettiest that time and ask me when I’m going to lose my weight back frequently. It’s crazy how i feel so ugly at a normal healthy weight and felt so pretty when i was severely underweight.
I sympathize with you. My mom always says I looked my best at my thinnest but I was undereating to the point I would get dizzy and had to sit down. I wasn’t at a healthy mindset at that time so it’s annoying to hear: you shoudl get back to that weight 😒😒🙄
Thank you so much for these videos Stephanie. As a lady who has struggled all my life with body image as well as disordered eating in many forms, from eating too little, not allowing myself to keep food down, and now binge eating, I really love that I came across your videos. It is so refreshing to see you focus on health, loving the body you are in and treating it well. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I need this.
This is such an amazing message to women. My husband died 3 months ago and I lost maybe 15 pounds because I’m not hungry but now that I have lost that I’m starting to fall back into my eating disorder days. I eat 1 small meal a day. And maybe 1 small snack. I’m not working out since I’m in bed all day depressed but I feel so bad about myself and my husband is gone so I just don’t want food but I know it’s not healthy. And my body type will never be a size 0, at a size 4 people tell me I look too skinny. So yes bodies are different, it’s sad that women are trying all of this to look like people that are editing their photos or just posing a certain way.
I’m so sorry what you’re going through! May God be with you during this time ❤
i am so sorry for ur loss❤things will get better
I pray your heart is healing.
I've never heard of Daisy, but her top lip in real life bothered me more than her fake snatched waist in heavily edited pics. Her in real life waist looked amazing and it's sad to see these girls are ashamed of their natural beauty. I think they all need therapy.
Can I ask why her top lip bothered you? I’m not judging I’m legit only asking because I don’t know if I’m missing something…
😂
@@partyisheree she probably refers to her lip filler?
@@partyisheree I'm just tired of seeing all these inflated lips that look weird when they talk. She's a pretty girl, but I find it to be gross. Just my personal opinion.
She kind of reminds me of Gigi gorgeous.. am I the only one seeing that?
As I registered dietitian, I'm living for your rant. Yes! Thank you.
I’m currently suffering from compulsive overeating and trying to be more easy on myself, so this video is really helpful. I can’t enjoy the gym and I really hope to find a way of exercising and eating without pressure and EDs… I stopped praising myself for the days with calorie deficit and try not to feel guilty for non-sport days. It all started a long time ago during the pandemic, exactly when I started watching fitness influencers. I hope we all can heal from such an unhealthy attitude towards ourselves, good luck to anyone who also struggles with it ❤️
Your undertone is a warm red, not yellow! I'm talking about foundation. You're so skilled at makeup.
i used to watch her when i was deep down in my ed last year. it was really bad and i thought that this was a normal amount of food. i was so used to seeing influencers eating this little and it took so much time and effort to unlearn it. i still struggle with knowing how much is one portion is sometimes but im getting there. videos like this helped me a lot, thank you stephanie
Stay strong…you’ve got this!!! It’s def not the easiest thing to try and decipher the BS from the other BS. Hang in there and believe in yourself 😊😊
Look up the Mifflin-St Jeor formula! It tells you fairly accurately how many calories you should eat to maintain a certain weight. That could be your current weight, or a goal weight. Obviously make sure you feel healthy. Daisy Keech doesn't look unhealthy to me, but she definitely doesn't look like someone who only eats a slice of toast and a small smoothie every day. Unless that smoothie has some hidden calorie weight gainer powder that she's not talking about. Or she snacks. I'd be very skeptical that she's only eating toast and smoothie for breakfast and lunch. I'd be skeptical of any influencer. Just disregard their "diets." I'm thin, and I eat waayyyy more than these girls do. There's just no way their diets are real.
I honestly think she is more gorgeous in her untouched photos of her real body. She should be proud of her body and own it!
Agreed she is stunning but you can tell she's insecure and that sucks
Right?? She’s naturally so beautiful and if she put out a more realistic image of herself I think many young women would feel much less self-conscious when inevitably comparing themselves to her and other influencers like her
@@cassieeees Yes! 🙌 Exactly that. If beauty and fitness influencers showed themselves without filters, it would be an amazing image for them to show girls and young women alike that they can be comfortable just being who they are. I wish more people would be happy with who they are, inside and out. Because of social media, there is such a warped concept on what is considered beautiful.
This comment feels passive aggressive but idk why lol
@@Pink_pr1ncess I would like to learn and grow if this does somehow seem like a passive aggressive comment. I am confused. I’m not making a negative comment about her in any way. I’m saying she is gorgeous without the filter.
Honestly, your video's made me appreciate my body more than I ever before. Yes.I do strecthmarks, yes I do have cellulite and yes I do have skin texture but that's because I'm human and a almost everyone does. We're not different, we're just perfect in our own way, our bodies may not be the same as the "super -models" but why should it be when we already are unique being ourselves. Thank you so much for these videos
Thank you for doing these videos. I can't even imagine being a young woman with these "influencers" around every corner. Social media can be so damaging to one's mental health and self esteem.
hopefully, in the future, society is going to look back & be shocked that “we” used social media so recklessly.. inflicting so much harm to ours & others mental health, losing our regard for fellow humans, placing the utmost value on such inane people & things. stephanie, i feel what you’re doing is SO important. keep it up 🖤
Omg- just a piece of toast for breakfast?? Girl, where’s the protein and fat?! I’d get a massive migraine eating that little
I remember almost passing out because I didn’t eat enough lunch or breakfast, I didn’t have an ED but I just wasn’t in the mood to eat
She did have 3 thin strips of ‘turkey bacon’ and a bit of avo on the piece of toast. Still not enough food but at least it’s slightly more balanced!
I'm wondering how she builds that famous booty of hers with so little food...
I would get a serious sugar low. I eat two portions of fruit, two eggs and two slices of toast with peanut butter, and I'm still hungry by 11am. I honestly believe that the only meal that can be "light" is dinner because you're about to go to bed.
Yea, that was my middle school and HS days thanks to my mother. I had a constant headache and passed out a few times a year at school. Ended up it was a low blow sugar issue on top of not eating enough. I wrecked my bodies ability to regulate my blood sugar and just in the last 5 years at almost 30, my body has recovered. It is insane.
i am so glad that you are in this platform to make points like this. thank you, i always watch your videos and they always make me feel good about myself. its like a reminder for all of us. love you! keep doing what ur doing
i really needed this reality check...thank you so much for posting this :)
You are such an amazing CZcamsr, you are literally saving so many people (both women and men) from following dangerous lifestyles and undergoing dangerous surgeries
As somebody who experienced both fat shaming and skinny shaming it's so weird for me now that body standards have changed and people say how amazing my body is and how they ask me how i got curves on my thighs (thunder thighs)
And guys used to bully me all the time for my looks and now they are so creepy (not all of them of course)
My boyfriend was and is the only one who truly loves me whether I'm skinny, fat or thicc
And it's kind of ironic how a former "friend" of mine told me that a guy could never fall in love with me because i look like a slut, I was 15-16
And now i am almost 22 and i have the most loving and protective boyfriend ever
No matter what people do or say, you matter
Every single good human being matters
Let's pay attention to our happiness and our health, beauty standards will keep changing no matter what
Can't we all just love our bodies and ignore what others say?
This is so important!!! When I was 14 years old I got into an eating disorder because of videos like that.
It is honestly just sad I don‘t know what else to say.
Thank you Stephanie, I wish I had seen videos like yours when I was young.
I hope many young women watch you 🙏🏻
Wow... I really needed to watch this video, lately I've been struggling with my body image being obsessed with looking a certain way and harming myself because of it, this video really just opened my eyes, thank you so much girl💜
Thank you so much for these videos! A lot of your videos are similar but I love that because you can watch one video and feel great but then the next week get sucked back into hating your body. Continuously hearing this message is sooo important. Thank you 🙏🏻
"And I'm like: when is it going to get boring again?". Me, exactly. Love your videos, you seem so familiar to me. And also, love your wittiness and "sarcasm". A little real talk is always necessary.
The majority of followers are men. Hence why she like all IG influencers start to transition to lingerie or more bikini content. Girls and women get bored and then look for a new person with new content while men subscribe and keep following their feed bc its just a semi pornographic hit. The whole everyone looking the same is no coincidence. They are all mimicking the features of sex dolls and bj type porno images. Girls/women do not realize this and try to conform to the racoon eyes and bee stung puffy lip Kardashian look.
Stephanie: "you'll never have the body like one of these influencers, wanna know why?"
Me: "because they get plastic surgery"
Stephanie: "because nobody has the same body type and metabolism..."
Me: "oh yeah, exactly what I said."
😂😂
Yes, because nobody has the same surgeries the influencers all get! Forget about "body type and metabolism". Nonsense.
@@sheila6186 yall are weird af , not every influencer has plastic surgery . yall are insecure af and it shows
You are so right about the diets for women of child-bearing age! We are the specific group that things like intermittent fasting do NOT work for. The impact of balanced vs unbalanced hormones is bonkers.
That said, her protein powder in the shake should've packed in a fair amount of calories and protein.
Also yessss for the real talk sometimes you gotta just tell it like it is instead of sugarcoating it. This crazy culture & false advertising is hurting people
I’m 26 and intermittent fasting works great for me. I need to lose about 40lbs. However, I make sure I always get more than enough protein and eat lots of nutrient dense foods. I’m not restricting my diet, just following a fasting schedule.
Same for me I have stomach issues, a s every food makes me bloated. Dont demonize intermittent casting especially without scientific evidence
I told my therapist about your channel & how it's so positive & helpful. Especially for people with EDs & low self esteem. She thought it was awesome & likes to recommend channels etc to her patients. ❤️ Keep it up, beautiful lady 💪
thank you so much for saying “They’re trying to force their beautiful individual body to look like someone else’s” as a reminder that the goal shouldn’t be too look “as good” as anyone else, but to be as healthy as you can be. Many different things can be beautiful at once❤️
What to eat for a small waist? She should’ve just been honest and said “how to starve yourself so that you have less fat on your belly”. Honey, that’s not anything new. I honestly question if people really eat what they post in those video anyway. I feel some of it is made up for CZcams. Thank you for talking about these things, young girls and women need to realize none of these lifestyles are normal or attainable for everyday life. Heck, most of what these folks post online is not what they truly do/live, day in and day out. It’s fake.
Even as a large woman I appreciate your videos! Please keep making them! ❤
I'm so happy about your video, someone had to say what you did.
TRIGGER WARNING
I'm recently recovering from an ED. I ate the same or even less than Daisy does in her videos. Sometimes I only ate one meal a day, just because I wanted to look like all these Influencers. The only thing I got from doing so was an ED. So please guys eat enough! Do not restrict yourselfs. You are so beautiful the way you are and starving yourself will only make you sick. Please be aware of that.
Send love to all of you guys
I needed this! Lately I’ve been hating my body because my waist is so boxy and not cinched in at all. I also ate two pieces of toast with PB for breakfast and didn’t even workout. Your video honestly helped me stop spiraling out of guilt for eating too much and missing a workout day due to fatigue. Thanks for ALL of your videos!
2 pieces of peanut butter with toast once in a moon is okay love! So is skipping a day of exercise. You’re beautiful and radiant (from what I can see in your photo) so don’t guilt trip yourself. ❤️
Mmm toast with pb sounds amazing! It's totally ok to have something nice every now and then, and no one has a perfectly cinched waist. I'm sure you look absolutely lovely, and there's nothing wrong with your waist, boxy or not
PB toast is NOT a treat. It's a regular breakfast. It has protein, fat and carbs all things that your body NEEDS. 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter isn't even a full meal. If you properly nourish yourself starting in the morning you are much less likely to binge or overeat in the evening. Keep fuelling yourself. & taking a day off from working out is respecting your bodies need to recover! Having rest days is imperative to reaching fitness goals
That sounds absolutely delicious, I know what I’m going to eat tomorrow morning 😂 Don’t punish yourself, don’t be so hard. It’s okay, you’re beautiful 💕
Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. I never used to worry so much but in recent years I keep thinking I’m supposed to. Trying to get back to a healthy balance where I eat to feel energized and that’ll be enough.
I have been waiting for you to do this woman!
Keep doing these videos. This isn’t “negative”. This is passion!
I like a lot of her exercises, but I recall hearing how she specifically avoided specific ones in her hourglass waist routine that work her obliques because it would detract from the hourglass form. So I can see how she takes a control oriented view to her body rather than a more rounded embodiment of health and strength / nourishment at the center of her approach. Seeing this play out in her relationship and view about meals it all makes sense what came up as a flag for me. Thank you for making this commentary and review of her actions.
THANK YOU! Thank you for speaking the TRUTH! I spent the first half of my life hating my body, myself and had disordered eating patterns. Your videos have been crucial to changing how I see myself, finding a better way to eat for MY BODY and deconstructing a lifetime of dysmorphic thinking. You are NOT negative! You tell the truth! I LOVE your content and am grateful I found you!
Stephanie, could you do more videos about nutrition in general? It would be super helpful and interesting :)
Yes that's a great idea!
Please!! Videos on nutrition would be AWESOME!
if u want nutrition advice u should check out Abbey Sharp!! her vids are amazing
omg i just got to the part where she talks about abbey lol
Abbey Sharp has good advice on that.
@@alvaskyllerstrom yesss I love her channel too, I just think it would be interesting to hear Stephanie's thoughts :)
Thanks for addressing that! Diets like hers, videos like hers leaded to a heavy eating disorder in my case. I suffered from orthorexia for 8 years. I think a lot of women have a problematic relationship with food or are orthorexic (e.g counting calories, having many „rules“, no sugar, no carbs, afraid of carbs) without realising it, because they think it’s just „healthy“. I did that for a very long time till it was so crazy that I needed therapy. And let me tell you: EVEN though I ate almost only fruits and vegetables, I NEVER looked like I wanted to look, never had „that body“. Now I know that my whole body isn’t meant to be that way, I’ll never have a tiny waist, my body structure is just different. And It’s ok, I don’t suffer from ED anymore and I learned how to eat pasta again (Without freaking out)and I am happy and I accept my body and ironically I look very similar to what I looked like when I was on a Diet.
Thank you so much for all of the videos you make, Stephanie. You and others like you show the real stuff to us and this is especially important to girls growing up on social media.
If nothing else look at the smoothie scene at 8:55 her waist width is nowhere near the size of how it looks in her IG photos
Always blows my mind how nobody ever seems to notice these influencers/celebrities never have the same body in videos 🤣
You hair colour is so perfect 😍 it makes your eyes shine even more
Thank you Stephanie for your work. This is so important
I absolutely appreciate you! Thank you for keeping things honest! Keep putting out content that will remind younger adults that what you “see” isn’t necessarily what you get. It’s important to be your best self because that’s enough.
As a young mom I overwork myself and get so distracted everyday and never really eat and I feel awful for it. I am always so focused on feeding my kid or my animals , cleaning and everything that doesn’t involve me. I am trying still but I noticed I’m starting to lose a lot of weight. Not in a good way. As a teen I use to look for influencers who were like daisy. My name is daisy lol but I have no idea who she is. It’s unhealthy and terrible to show a young audience or audience of anyone it will get then into the wrong mindset. People need a lot of food during the day . I will eventually get back on track with eating I hope. Anyways thank you for these videos!!
Try to drink high calorie smoothies if you can
I know it’s hard!! I learned the hard way to also prioritize my well being. Try to eat at the same time your kids do and eat healthy my friend 😉
I ate more than her when I was on a calorie deficit (and lost weight too). I can't comprehend how she's able to keep it up everyday, it reminds me of Stephanie buttermore who used to be always hungry just to maintain that fitness person body
Yes!! And Stephanie admitted to all of us she had some type of eating disorder that was undiagnosed. She was over it and went all in.
your body gets used to it
@@kathleene99 she wouldn't be able to build that body if she had an eating disorder
@@mlk3233 it's the mentality and your relationship with food what defines an eating disorder.
Thanks for speaking up Steph! Kinda needed that today x
Thank you hun for always keeping it real. Missed you. Glad you're back
Hi Steph I found you about 4-5 yrs ago. I was a 39 yr old getting into makeup for the 1st time in my life. So I fell deep down the CZcams makeup rabbit hole lol . Needless to say their is very very very few people I still watch. But you my dear are a breath of fresh air . These kinds of videos need to be made more often by more people. I applaud you for speaking out about something that is so unpopular. Shows how much class and integrity you have. Your parents did a great job raising you. Congrats on the new bundle cooking up.
Wow thank you so much that is so nice to hear!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! Even though influencers looks do not really bother me for the most part, I have always immediately felt insecure looking at Daisy, but now after your video I feel so much better!
That’s because her body is literally PERFECT according to society standards
AMEN to you again, Steph! Thank you for continuing to spread this (lifesaving!!) message
Stephanie your videos have helped me so much, I've struggled with restrictive and disordered eating since I was 14 (I'm 25 now) and watching your content is HEALING for me
I wish I had content like this in my formative years, it would've set my trajectory in a much different direction 😅
I actually loved your energy this video! It didn’t feel negative, it felt honest and not sugar coated :)
As a woman who dealt with an ED (when I was younger), and who still sometimes struggles with the mindset, I'm so, so thankful for your videos. They always serve as a great reminder to not let myself be fooled into trying to achieve something impossible. I'd rather be healthy. Thank you, Stephanie!
Thanks to videos and analysis like this, when I see people this tiny I don't get envious, I get worried. It has helped me so much to change my mindset to a healthier one, great work!
Usually I'm not the person who leaves a comment but your content is super important and I really like and appriciate your opinion. It's so important to talk about those things so young women can understand that their bodies are perfactly fine how they are and if they want to be a bit more toned or to lose wight they have to eat! So glad that slowly the idea of girls "shouldn't be eating" or "eat just a tiny bit" is changing and you're explaning it amazinglly so thank you for that.
Don't worry about being "negative". I like when your honest frustration comes across in videos, it shows that you truly care.
I honestly really needed this video at this exact time lol, I have been on social media a bit more than I typically am and consuming a lot more “influencer” type content and I have been really stressed that I am now 117 pounds and I don’t have as small as a stomach as I used to and that I no longer can really fit into some of my clothing :’) I have been comparing myself so badly and trying to eat less throughout my day but I need to realize that social media is not real lol.
Sounds like you’re a blossoming young woman coming into her body. It’s totally normal, and contributes to the flowing, feminine figure artists have idolized for centuries. Plus, 117 lbs is a petite size.
@@alexey5481 ☺️ your comment was very sweet.
I know it might sound crazy, but get rid of the scale for a while. Don't weigh yourself every day, or even every week. I don't weight myself 5 days before my period or during my period. I can swing 8-12 lbs from the week before to the week after, it is mostly all water weight and mostly in the stomach area. Just worry about how your clothing fits, if it is getting a little tight, then worry about eating a little less. Make sure your meals are balanced, I eat 2500(or more) calories a day, but I only about 20-25% of that is carbs, the rest is protein, healthy fats and fruits/veggies. I do use an app to keep track, but only to make sure that I eat enough and I get enough macro nutrients in my diet. I waisted all my middle school and HS days(11 to 17) focusing on what the scale said, starving myself and stressing to fit into a size 0/2. Spoiler alert: my body was not meant to be that small, I am naturally muscular and larger chested/hips/tights. A size 4/6 on me is small. I stay a 6/8 now that I'm in my mid 30s and have had a child, and I'm not starting and miserable all the time. I'm sure it isn't easy growing up in the Instagram/tik tok world now, but judt remember that your body has to last you for a long time, so be good to it. I messed my teeth up btwn not eating properly and then getting cancer at 19. I've spent the last 5 years having teeth removed, root canaled, crowned, filled and now I'm looking into getting partial dentures until I hsve to hsve them all removed and have implants(which will coat about $20k). No one told me about all the horrible long term effects of starving yourself. I hope you doend a little time and look into the long term effects, and see that it isn't worth it. The inky thing that got me to stop was meeting other girls who had completely ruined their bodies permanently. An ED took up so much of my life and time that I wish I coukd get bsck. I don't hsve any pictures of myself from 14 to 20 and my mother only has a few, because I though I was so fat I couldn't stand to have them taken. Not even prom or senior pics! I got some head shots done for my mom but that was it. I'm not trying to scare you, just trying to have you see a little bit of the other side. I don't know you, but I know I want you to be happy with you. I wish you the best in life! I hope everyday is a good day, full of happiness! Too many people are unhappy and it makes the world a darker, sadder, scarier place. I hope you can be one of the people who try to be happy everyday. I try everyday, I don't always succeed, but I try my best.
@@funsizedi88 First let me say I appreciate your comment very much and reading it was very helpful and eye opening. I am very sorry to hear about all of your struggles but am thankful you are in a better place mentally! You are a very wise and compassionate person, especially for sharing your story to uplift others and help them avoid some of the hardships you went through. I am trying hard not to let my weight be such a primary focus in my life. You’re so right about all of it, it’s not worth it. Mentally or physically. None of what you said sounded crazy at all!
hey! i just want to give u a reminder (even tho this has probably been said a lot before) you’re created to be your own unique individual body and everyone’s are beautiful
Thank you for doing this❤️you have more courage then most people and this should be talked about so society can change and become healthier for the next generation
Watching you has helped me a lot. Espically when you were talking about how everyone has different body structures. That has been the biggest problem for me since I was young. I would watch those videos about how people did this and that and got certain results in this amount of time, and that has damaged my self esttem and mental health. That is one of the reasons that after all these years of still trying to get my body goals, I still give up after a few months of working out. I've got better and have to remind myself that I'm me and they're them, and we're all different and beautiful in our own way.
7:50 it is so sad to hear that diet culture still exists. all these ‘influencers’ should’ve been banned a long time ago.
Diet itself it's not bad, it is bad when is perform by people with insufficient knowledge. Diet isn't bad, people are.
Thank you Stephanie for making this video! You really helped me today! I know that this isn’t healthy but if I stay to log on social media I forgett it/ ignore it and start struggling extremely with my body and with eating. So it really helps when you’re making videos like this.
Girl keep speaking Truth 🤍
I am happy your video came my way this morning. Thank you. I've been working out this past month, "consistently" and I felt so bad this morning because even though I did get up and go to the gym (5am) I was upset with myself because I enjoyed eating pizza last night. Thank you for reminding me that it's ok as long as I am moving I am on the right track. ❤
I’m so grateful for these videos honestly! I live with eating disorders and a very distorted body image and these videos help me see things more clearly. I am so used to feeling guilty for eating as much as my body asks, thinking it’s too much and blaming myself for overeating.
This series of videos is so helpful for me and my body image. I salute you for it, thank you so much!!!!
girlie you look SO PRETTY today!!! i love how brown hair compliments ur face you look gorgeous 💗
Thank you for this video! These influencers have such an impact these videos are SO important to bring us back to reality.
I really needed this. THANK YOU🫶🏼❤️
