The trainer is going way out of his expertise. Last semester in my Physiology of exercise class our professor gave all the students who wanted to be personal trainers an important message, Do NOT get into nutrition problems with your clients! That is not your job, that's when you direct them to a Dietitian!... I loved that professor and that's exactly what is happening here. Her trainer is not being responsible. So glad you made this video Abbey!
@@reprimand_ they take several Nutrition classes, enough to have knowledge of a good diet and manipulating certain macronutrients to reach certain goals. When it comes to a client that is having digestion problems that's out of their range of expertise. That's a job for an RD.
@@reprimand_ In this case he showed his lack of knowledge in the subject with all the mixed advice and protocols he was doing with her. Many things he said were facts but it was not the right protocol for her specific needs.
I am starting to feel like these disclaimers about influencers not being doctors/dieticians while talking about the latest diet regiment they are trying are becoming like the terms of use everybody signs, but nobody reads.
Trigger warning! Discussion of weight loss, and my relative using the dry method My dad was a body builder before I was born. I didn’t know it was called, ‘dry,’ but he attributes it to his many permanent physical disabilities. He would talk about nearly starving before a competition and then hydrating at the last second to make those ‘veins pop for the judging.’ How terrifying that they were so dehydrated to begin with. He discussed that the starvation technique they’d use would make their skin ‘paper thin to enhance the outline of each muscle group.’ Scuse me? He eventually got out of those competitions and stopped body building all together. Lifting to that extreme was a bad idea, but lifting under the conditions he put on his body caused permanent damage to many areas in his body. Please please please save your body and do not follow that method!
This is a really useful perspective. I powerlift (I love my body and have no interest in, "building" it) but sometimes I do think my ego overrides my common sense. Thank you! 🤗
@steph: I also enjoy powerlifting. It sounds like you have a very positive view on it. Best of luck! Keep taking care of that body. My dad would remind you that it’s the only body you have, so love it @Marah he has Various detached muscles in the shoulder, slipped/bulging discs, knee replacement, just to name a few. He’s struggled with his metabolism ever since as well. Both he and I will acknowledge that bodybuilding the way he did played a part in his body’s condition, but crash-dieting to show off the hard work more likely led to poor form, poor recovery, and an increased risk of muscle and joint damage.
I think Sanne saying she wants to get “dry” is a case of not knowing the proper English term. In Dutch we indeed use dry (“droog”), but in English “shredded” is used.
@@autymsanson yeah in bodybuilding, in Dutch when you say you want to be 'dyrer' it has nothing to do with water, it just means you want to lose some bodyfat. Any average gym goer will use the term. Not just those who are seriously into bodybuilding and have to get stage ready. I guess 'leaner' would be a better way to translate it to English.
The Ketogenic diet really helped me with my epilepsy. After having 4-6 seizures at a time (I almost wasn't able to finish high school and felt very sick my first semster of college), to not having a seizure in over a year and 7 months. My brainpower and focus also improved significantly. But now, I mainly just stick to healthy sources of protein, fat, and carbs, rather than going back to the Keto diet or the low-nutritional value diet I was eating before, which consisted of a lot of processed foods. I have felt so much better since sticking to real food. P.S. Your videos have been really helpful!! I have learned a lot!!!
I think my biggest issue with RUclipsrs publishing WIEIAD videos and diet/meal videos is they rarely talk about getting help from a doctor or RD. It's also annoying that whenever they get criticism for sharing incorrect/non-evidence-based information they'll say things like, well I'm not telling YOU to eat this way. Like? You're still an influencer! You know someone is going to copy you because you have a body type that is generally sought after. I'm particularly annoyed by this one because just because someone is trained in one field does not mean they're educated in another (in regards to her fitness trainer). I rolled my eyes so hard at the end of her video where (presumably) her trainer said they were going to share this data with her doctor. That should have been the first step! Not an afterthought. TL;DR people need to seek help with licensed professionals in the field before they post and take accountability for sharing harmful content.
I had a big problem with Sanne defending these videos for this exact reason! There were tons and tons of people in her comments gently explaining to her that the video was triggering, not science-based, that there were tons of red flags in it, and that she would be causing other people to try this highly restrictive diet. She kept just responding that she was not telling other people to do it, she was just sharing her own story. I really wish she would have at least acknowledged the feedback instead of writing it off. It sounds like she must have finally heard the feedback though if she removed the videos
It’s mind-boggling to me. You are a rich person who clearly has enough money to see the doctor right here and right now, why won’t you do that?! I can totally understand why someone who doesn’t have an access to the doctor will google some bullshit, but she has no excuses for such behaviour.
My doctor has an inkling that I have issues with sulfur in food, so I’m on a low-sulfur diet for awhile. It’s INCREDIBLY restrictive. I literally only eat dark meat chicken, salmon, romaine lettuce, zucchini, root veggies, 1/2 cup jasmine rice a day, some seeds, and a lot of fruit. BUT bc of watching these videos, I’ve been trying to make sure my meals are as balanced as possible, even tho I’m very restricted. So, I’ve been feeling satiated and satisfied. Thank you :)
With how often youtubers have been removing videos, you might want to look into some web archives to keep the video on the way back machine for when you’re going back to edit! :) congrats on baby O and love your videos!
I did Keto for 3 months, mainly so I could have my own experiences before I educated others on it - and it did reduce inflammation and fogginess in my head quite a bit. It was too restrictive and there’s no long term studies on certain health risks but it did work pretty well. I wouldn’t tell any of my clients that it’ll work “guaranteed” though. That’s a little risky because we are all different and there are many approaches you could take to get similar results.
There's studies that linked it to a significant increase in the likelihood of developing a restrictive ED and a few on negative short term health problems caused by keto. It still is likely nothing but a fad diet and seems highly risky
Well people who benefit from keto diets (diabetes, pcos) claim they dont experience any issues but a better health condition, which is wierd considering the amount of protein can overload your kidneys and the fat can increase cardiovascular diseases.
Prffbunny T I just don’t think they’ve been on Keto for long enough. There’s not many long studies and I’ve experienced the short term benefits myself. But is it sustainable long term? I think there’s better approaches out there that could give similar results.
@@kaytee789 I thought it was recommended for those with epilepsy and that some research had been conducted for those with diabetes. I have not heard that it is good for PCOS.
It feels so weird seeing this trend of extreme dieting and 'finding what feels good for my body' among very young and generally healthy people. Growing up, I would just eat whatever my parents made and never worry about eating too much or too little, the same was with my friends and nobody ever experienced any digestive problems or anything to even think about changing their diets. Might be our “healthy” traditional Croatian cuisine, idk. 😂🤷🏼♀️ Anyone else feel the same?
Same here with my German and Russian diet. The whole concept of going on an elimination diet to find inflammation or bloating triggers or whatever these people are looking for just seems so weird to me. 😂
I believe that restrictive diets should be reserved for trying to treat specific medical issues. People spend way too much time and energy on this stuff in my opinion. Avoiding highly processed foods is the only thing that I do and even then if I'm at a party or want a treat I eat it.
I had never heard of the “bloating problem” before I discovered American fitness and nutrition RUclips. Honestly I think it’s a really American thing. Of course I noticed a bit of expanding and deflating of my stomach from time to time in a day (long time vegetarian and now vegan, so relatively high fiber), but I never felt the need to give it a name or to even get rid of for aesthetic reasons, nor to seek for the root of “it” because it is and has been such a normal thing to me, that a human body does “this”, as to “sometimes being flat, sometimes don’t”, that I never gave any attention to that. For context: living in Germany, grew up with a normal German diet but way less meat than normal, vegetarian since I was 10yo. I simply always ate what was there ^^
@@piau1798 preach sis!!! 💯 It's just marketing tricks to make us believe our stomach should always be unrealistically flat even after a big meal. So sickening. Especially for young people with lack of self esteem.
As someone with IBS, I'll have to disagree. We're ca 15% of people in the western world, and the bloating problem is real! It sounds like many of these people also have it...
You should look into Lilly Sabri, she was vegan and now she's pescatarian and I think she's a great example for younger girls! She recently did a live with a nutritionist (I think, he may have been a dietitian but I don't remember tbh) and she gave great advice against restricting too much as someone commented they were eating way too little calories! She's an intuitive eater too!
I used to watch her channel, but that was the period that i was so lost in diet culture and was very restricted. Now i am more a human 😂, and i fall in love with channels like yours. The fact that you were shooting in early labor makes you a superhero 🦸♀️❤️
I’m so happy I came across your channel, Abbey! I’m tired of seeing crash diets and misinformation all over the internet. Your channel provides a scientific and realistic view on food and nutrition. As a girl who has a difficult relationship with food, THANK YOU
Sanne seems to have the best intentions for her audience. But her lack of knowledge in the fields of nutrition, the human body in general and skincare can pose a lot of health risks for her audience. She could either gain more expertise on these topics, or choose topics she already has expertise on.
so true lol so many of these youtubers perpetuating diet culture try to mask it all as 'health/wellness/feeling good' but sadly it's usually actually wanting to have a flat stomach or detoxing
I like how you break down really complex concepts into something more digestible!! I remember learning some of this in school in some of my nutrition classes but there are many concepts that I didnt grasp then! This really helps refresh it and put it in a way that I can easily understand!
Abbey is such an absolute goddess throughout pregnancy and totally kicked ass by just "dropping in" to edit her video whilst in the first stage of labour. And all without so much as a hint of sweat on her brow. Total legend!
Ibs would be hard to document as everyones IBS is different. My mum and I both have IBS, I can eat eggs, she can't, gives her painful gas, whereas it doesn't affect me.
As you mentioned Diabetes, I would love a video about diabetes friendly food - my boyfriend has Diabetes Type I and I would love to learn more about it :)
Yes, I'm in the exact same boat mine was diagnosed back in January and I just want to be able to cook for him after lockdown is over (his immune system is still iffy because of blood sugar spikes)
I 100% recommend him asking his Diabetes Maintenance Team to give him a referral. And do that every few years. I always learn so much through mine and also get to explore some ways that specific foods effect me. (I find it especially helpful because I follow a mostly-vegan diet and “fast” foods are always coming out.) I have certain foods that seem to trigger a longer lasting blood sugar spike and exploring these under the direction of a professional has changed my life AND my HbA1c.
You are great for wanting to find the best way to help your bf! I definitely agree with Tiffany X's suggestion regarding talking to his Diabetes Maintenance Team. Also, as a mom of a T1 (my son was dx 12 yrs ago) no food is exactly "off limits". From the beginning, his docs said he could eat what we eat as long as he manages his insulin doses correctly. Heck - he's even had candy at the movies. :-) BUT, like all of us, certain foods are definitely better. We aim for the combo of protein, carb, fat since it tends to slow down the breakdown of carbs (like Abbey said in this video). Also, everyone is different (T1 or not) and certain foods affect him differently than they affect others even when they are "the same" in relation to carbs, etc. His kryptonite is pizza. It always throws us a curve ball when he eats it and we have tried numerous ways to handle it. All this to say, encourage him to eat healthy and nothing (especially favorites) should be always off limits. I truly believe each T1's road is different and very individual.
My guess is that after they spoke with their doctor (not a personal trainer without medical knowledge) they took the video down because of the misinformation contained therein.
People really think just because you get bloated after a meal means you need to change your diet? PSA! Just because after a meal your stomach isn’t as flat as the photoshopped influencers you see on Instagram does not mean you need to change your whole diet.
There's a full belly after a meal, then there is painful, excessive bloating. I do agree, some people probably don't realise they're meant to feel like that after a decent, satiating meal but I do know others who have serious bloating that doesn't go away for hours after eating.
It's not about a full belly, feeling bloated is a completely different sensation than being full. It's uncomfortable, and often comes with other bad symptoms. It's not about how you look, it's about how you feel, but I agree with everything else.
I have a serious problem with bloating, changing my diet made me realize it was caused by a particular food i love and i dont know why. I was constantly bloated 24/7 (from day to night), I look like i was pregnant, it was painfull. I do understand that fitness influencers restrict too much to at a certain way end up pushing misinformation to the audiência regardless their diets, but who are you to blame fitness influencers are pressured to look at a certain way if they dont look the same way, its like they are failing doing their jobs (looking at a certain way).
@@JudyNepune the things that make me feel bad are Bread, pancakes, cookies, other similar. I Just noticed that it got worse latelty and removing it from my diet/meals made me feel so much better. I am lactose intolerant but the problem isnt the lactose but something in those products that make me feel bad
Abbey, thank you so much for your videos! I‘ve gained weight in quarantine and wasn’t happy about it. But instead of starving myself I now started to really listen to my body. I walked / moved more and noticed my body doesn’t like fatty, processed foods but looves carbs. I don’t ever weigh myself but I‘m so much more happy with my body now! I‘m even excited for the hunger cues. 😍
Please review Jenn im’s what i eat in a day videos! Her’s seem super relatable and it also includes a variety of cultural cusines, mainly Korean dishes😌
Ah I was one of those people who requested a video on these messes of videos... Happy she took one of them down! So much misinformation that could very well be dangerous to the young girls looking up to her and willing to take every piece of diet advice she puts out there.
there is actually a lot of research about keto diet (KD) and reducing inflammation. Im not a fan of the KD, but I recently did an independent study on reducing neural inflammation for epilepsy and depression through the KD. It seems as though some individuals who do not respond to the currently available pharmaceutical options do improve in epileptic symptoms while on the KD. In fact, the KD was originally designed for children with epilepsy. So there is a ton of research out there for anyone interested about the anti-inflammatory effects of the KD both at the neural and more physical level. It is a bit of a mess......but I would say it certainly is empirically supported.
Inflammation seems to be a buzz word-- do you think is the case? I always hear this. Might be worth a video on it's own at some point. You seem busy at the moment. :D
Love this comment and would like to see a video on the topic. For me it’s almost the same as “anxiety” being thrown around nowadays. Many people use both words to describe their own body’s reactions, but is it true inflammation? Anxiety? Or self-diagnosed. As someone with ulcerative colitis who has actual gut inflammation, needing colonoscopies or ct scans to show said inflammation, I’m wondering how so many of these health and fitness gurus can make all these claims against inflammation but without even knowing if they have any true inflammation at all.
That would be awesome, but also I suffer from more than one chronic illness, and they all seem to cause inflammation in different parts of my body. It would be great to control with diet, because many of the anti-inflammatory medications come with some pretty intense side effects that make one seriously have to think about the benefit to health vs affected quality of life from side effects issue. I think many of us would love to find a balance of foods that cures this inflammation so we could take less meds, but I also don't think that's possible, or someone would have figured it out already. I hope that makes sense, having chronic illnesses, I'm always told to try this diet or this vitamin, and it never seems like the answer is actually that easy.
I’ve always loved your channel for the positivity and information you share! I wanted to let you know that your recent personal Q+A’s have made you a million times more relatable (in my opinion). We got to see your quick wit + bubbly side, which was so fun! Thank you so much for sharing and I wish the best for you and your family!
I love hearing that nightshades being pro-inflammatory is a myth. They're some of my favorite veggies...particularly peppers. I eat bell peppers every day and some form of tomato every other day (at least). Do people think keto is good because of the low fiber content = less gassy?
Same here, I love Southwestern cooking, so everything starts with onions, garlic, and peppers or chiles. Usually topped with tomatoes too. It's great to hear that they also contain some anti-inflammatory chemicals that balance them out.
Maybe. I know a lot of people that have absolutely no background in nutrition like to claim that being gassy is bad. I literally lost 90 pounds while eating those gassy foods.
I'm currently eating lower carbs as after my low fodmap course, my doctor found lots of food high in carbs irritated my bowels (I have ibs), but I'm still trying to keep carbs in my daily life. I still want to talk to a dietitian about a proper food plan though cause some days I just struggle to get proportions correct and some days I get scared to eat carbs (this could also be my past E.D self talking). While I'm still looking around for a dietitian, I'm glad I have channels like yourself to help explain a lot of these fad diets and food issues and express the importance of a balanced diet. Also, power to you for the early labor inserts! That's dedication right there!
Sanne was one of my absolute favorite RUclipsrs until she made these videos :( as someone who suffers from SIBO/IBS, I tried so many restrictive diets trying to “debloat” and never had success. I always felt like such a failure when I still experienced bloating. Her videos felt very triggering for me and I haven’t been able to really watch her since :\
I have ibs too and need to eat low fodmap and gluten free. When they talk about bloating it annoys me sometimes bc there's nothing i can do abt my bloating and just had to learn to accept that i have a bit of a belly all the time. I understand u not watching her, would annoy me too. I personally love becky excell, she has super positive videos and all sorts of yummy low fodmap ibs friendly recipes. ❤️❤️
orsikocs that’s the same thing for me - my bloating isn’t as awful as it was prior to treating most of my SIBO, but I don’t wake up with a “flat” stomach anymore like I used to prior to developing my GI disorders, despite being very close to the same size and weight. I’ll check her out! I don’t personally eat low fodmap as, unfortunately, I’m one of the 25% of IBS suffers whom the diet does not work for, but the positivity sounds really awesome. Thanks!
That's totally valid. I hope you can go back to her channel eventually and maybe, if you haven't already, you can reach out to her and let her know. It might help her to keep diet culture rhetoric at bay.
Steph I reached out when she posted the videos. If she doesn’t continue to post things like that then I can definitely find my way back to her channel, but I just lost a little bit of trust in her with that string of videos, so just kind of waiting now to see if she goes back to her other content or continues on with this stuff
Hello fresh and coldest water bottle sponsor everyone. Nikcado has been sponsored by both same with people with binge eating disorders like Amberlynn Reid
This video was AMAZING! I've gotten lured into so many of these restrictive diets with the empty promises of "no more bloat" and being "headache free" - hoping to find relief from some chronic stomach pain. I've found, after so so so many years of confusion and pain, that a lot of my discomfort had to do with unhealed trauma and the chronic stress that came with it. I only post this to share my experience in case there are other precious people out there who may have the same story. A wonderful therapist, good friends, healthy sleep, sane amounts of exercise, and registered dietitians like Abbey have begun to help me heal from a discomfort that - for me - was mostly caused by a stressful and unfulfilling lifestyle and childhood. Ultimately, I don't think we get to live a pain free life (a delusion that I think a lot of alternative healers prey upon) but I do think we can heal a lot of what's causing the pain.
I remember Sanne got a lot of hate when this elimination diet video came out. I commented something about how the blood sugar test was unnecessary and she replied very defensively. I wasn’t even trying to ‘be a hater’; I’m a fan and was just concerned. I’m not surprised she took the video down. This video really clarified all the misinformation, love it!
Holy crap! You’re filming parts of this video while you’re in early labor?! That’s a super mom right there. Meanwhile I’m whining about a hurt foot! Real Talk, congrats and good luck! Please take care of yourself, and hope all is well!
hey!!! thanks for addressing this video... definitely been thinking about it since she uploaded it :) p.s. i think she mentioned once that her name was pronounced "sawn-uh vloot" but i could be wrong haha
I just started HelloFresh (week 3 tomorrow) and it works well for me and I like the option to choose what goes in my box and I have next to no food waste. I personally love it and that they are working towards more sustainable practices
loved this video. I am a studying nutritionist and even I didn't know all of the things in depth that you discussed, so I can't imagine the things going through someones head that had no idea or background in the subject. as always, love your videos because they are so informative!
I can have them, but they have to be cooked. But I totally agree, you can have too much fiber. Sometimes cooking them makes them easier to digest. I'm happy you found what works for you!
I remember that video, I even coment on that one, I don't tink myself as someone rude or mean for making a comment, I just said, I think you need to visit a nutritionist becouse that diet seems to restrict. a few minutes latter theire followers almost insult me! the were so mean tring to defend that "healty life style" so thanks for making this video with necesary foundamentals so hopfully people get persuade not to try on.
Thank you so much for all of your advice and videos❤️❤️❤️ I watch all of them! Would you like to review sami Clarke? A friend of Sanne? She’s just done a fruitarian diet for her acne and I just don’t get it... lots of love Jenny
I think if an influencer gives a disclaimer, that is enough. We should not only be allowed to do something and post it for an audience if there are scientific studies saying we should. Even if we wanted to do that, there are lots of conflicting studies out there. We should do what feels best for us and not feel the need to back it up with studies to be able to do so. We need to take responsibility for ourselves as consumers of this content and not just do something because we see someone online doing it.
Someone I talked to said they had been under going an elimination diet and was just starting to add foods back in. I asked if anyone was supervising her. She said "yes, my chiropractor". I had no words.
Dear Abbey, I recently started watching your videos and I love them! There is so much nutrition advice coming from unqualified people. As a young woman I unfortunately also fell prone to episodes of orthorexia, excessive exercise and hypothalamic amenorrhea. I have recovered but gosh, it's insane that vloggers, magazines etc. promote you to undernourish your body on such a large scale, as if it's just a woman's (often men's too) fate. Abbey, keep spreading your content! I hope girls who are the younger version of me find your channel.
I do love Hello Fresh... but to me one of the biggest drawbacks was the absence of complex carbohydrates. It’s 100% white carbs. Which is fine every now and then but I feel better with complex and it’s healthier. Would be great if they could give you an option! Abbey, tell them what’s up!
Keto was fabulous for me !! If anyone is interested in it I recommend watching Dr. Berg and his suggestions on Keto as he recommends high vegetable volume so fiber is never an issue ! It really saved my health !!
An elimination diet recommended to me by an esthetician to help with acne about 2 years ago basically ruined my relationship with food. Once I recovered, it really sparked my interest in nutrition
As a french i always ate lot of carbs and a little bit less fat and protein but now i see so much people on social media who seems to be obsessed with cutting carbs of their diet that it makes me feel uncomfortable with my habits and what i eat , why is it so bad ? I never had health issues with eating lot of carbs and always Been very skinny but now that i see all these influencer doing that i feel like i have to reduce my carbs intake too because it is « bad » 😔
I feel the same. I'm Croatian and always been eating traditional foods that indeed include lot of carbs and meat and never had any problems neither did my friends, parents or grandparents. No restrictions whatsoever. Grandparents lived long healthy lives and if that isn't the best proof that we don't have to worry, I don't know what is?!
It’s not bad! Different peoples bodies react to food differently - low carb diets can help people with certain health issues - hormone issues, diabetes or insulin resistance, but you don’t need to avoid carbs if you are doing perfectly well eating them. Low-carb is just the trendy diet at the moment, before low carb, it was low fat. When you see the various diets, remember that every person is different - no stranger can tell you what you should eat. If you are healthy and happy as you are, then you are doing fine with your diet!
Fordt and foremost, congratulations on your delivery and the newest addition to the family :) I'd like to suggest doing a video on Naturally Stephanie and maybe another one revisiting NuttyFoodieFitness xx
Thank you so much for this video and all you do. I know that if I was still in my ED I would be totally drawn to these type of “What I Eat in a Day” videos and your videos have really helped me reinforce what I’ve learned from my therapist and ED recovery. ❤️
I did the low fodmap diet myself and it saved my life! Thanks to my doctor who helped me with this I found out that my body can't digest couple of food and now I can finally live my life again. Bye bye onion, garlic and sweet potato 😢 welcome healthy gut 🙌
I used to have really bad digestive issues. Since I cut out dairy, meat and eggs it’s gone. I didn’t cut it out completely but I rarely eat it. There are high and low inflammatory foods. So I don’t know why everyone is now trying keto against inflammatory problems.
Another vid, another comment. I half agree that the trainer may have been out of their depth in giving nutritional recommendations, and perhaps they should have said to go to a dietitian or nutritionist for a thorough plan if they, as a trainer, weren't qualified to give such advice. I also agree that the trainers advice for a 2 week keto elim diet before slow reintroduction of ordinary foods was perhaps not the best idea, and that testing blood sugar was a dumb way to determine inflammation. However, that's all I'm on board for. The diet keto elim should have lasted maybe 4-6 weeks since that's about when the body gets somewhat used to the diet, and from there they should have begun to test adding different low carb keto friendly foods for a time to see if any were causing problems, then add in higher fiber low carb foods to see if fiber or certain foods with fiber were the problem, then add higher carb/protein foods to see if carbs/protein or foods with those things were the problem. Also, as usual Abbey uses studies to craft an anti-keto narrative. She says there's evidence that keto can help with inflammation, but says that reduced inflammation may be caused by the supposedly necessary elimination of fiber and other fermentatable carbs on a ketogenic diet, but also essentially says that fiber is good for the digestive tract and that it's reduction may cause problems that require elimination diets in the first place. First of all, that's a clever catch .22; if keto elimination diet works, it's possibly cuz there's no fiber, but it could also fail because there's no fiber, either way avoid keto. Second, I guess she's never heard of pecans, or filberts, or other high fat, high fiber, low carb plant foods that people on keto can eat as a fiber source, but it wouldn't fit her narrative I guess. she cites a study at 11:06 to back up her statement that keto could worsen inflammation and gut bacterial populations, but that study means nothing. It had people eating 40% fat at most, and compared them to groups eating 20% and 30% fat. 40% is not high fat or keto because keto people usually eat at least around 70% fat, so that study means nothing for keto eaters. Even assuming that the gut bacterial diversity of keto people does take a hit as the study claims, considering that people still tend to get IBD/IBS relief on keto, among other benefits, is the decreased gut diversity really an issue after that? Maybe the other bacterial types that disappear are less necessary for biological functions on keto? Just spitballing tbh, but still, the decrease in gut flora diversity comes alongside all the other typical benefits of keto like decreased inflammation, decreased insulin resistance, decreased bloating, etc. Would it be a big problem for keto that gut flora diminishes if these other health benefits also come with the package? She says at 11:58 that there's "some" evidence keto can help with inflammation, but she says that it examined people with diabetes and not the general population so that doesn't count. At this point I know she's cherry-picking, because I found a study that saw decreased inflammation and increased insulin sensitivity in *nonobese* subjects. And yes, it was an RCT. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4586572/ Abbey then spends 12:38 to about 12:50 or so talking about how some people think nightshade is inflammatory, but that it's not according to an arthritis org., and she talks about how a certain potato that's rich in antioxidants helped reign in arthritis symptoms. This isn't pro-nightshade, pro-potatoes, or pro carbs as much as it is pro antioxidants/noninflammatory foods. Antioxidants in diet seem to be pretty good in bringing down inflammation levels, and of course oxidation levels, in people's bodies. Guess what's also been found to bring down inflammation and oxidation? Keto. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4294438/; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18046594/ Things like the soft denouncment of red meat at 13:58 are why I comment. Abbey says the RUclipsr may have a hard time with meat generally, then grandstands about *red meat* specifically when red meat is likely to not be included in the 2 week keto elim, since it's infamously controversial in nutrition science. Even if Sanne did plan to eat it, Abbeys own study says there there is a mere **association** between red meat and negative health outcomes, not that red meat causes those outcomes. Plus the study she cites is only in women and not in the general population, so by her standards it shouldn't count, but I guess population standards can be more relaxed when the study supports a stance you agree with. "Detoxing," while overused and nearly devoid of meaning due to improper usage, is actually something the body does do. All it means is clearing out things that are harmful, and while the process can't be rushed by scams like juice cleanses and such, uncovering and eliminating harmful foods from the diet is the whole point of elimination diets; it's giving your body a chance to recover from the toxic things that were pumped into it and keeping those things out, basically like drug withdrawal but for food. Use of the terms detox or "full body reset" change nothing. The body is always "detoxing", the keto elim diet is just meant to root out what the toxic substance may be. Also, walnuts are too high carb for most keto eaters. At 15:57 you say she's eating 95 grams of carbs. I would agree if you said "net carbs," because that's what keto people usually count, since "net" excludes fiber and other carbs not absorbed by the body. Everything you say that is premised on this 95 number is therefore somewhat dubious. Lastly, Abbey commented on the need for keeping track of glycemic index and glycemic load to know if the body can handle carbs; it's actually more about insulin index, which glycemic index is a heuristic for. Diabetes is only technically a problem with internal blood sugar control; it's actually a problem with internal blood insulin control. This matters because while carbs can spike people's blood sugar and insulin response, proteins can spike their insulin response, but not their blood sugar; it's that effect on insulin that causes real problems, and Insulin levels are rhe more accurate marker of potential problems in the body compared to blood sugar levels. And, done.
Do you think in the future you could possibly go more in detail about dna tests which determine your "ideal diet", along with their validity? I hear a lot of people and influencers promote these- edit: talk about them in an extremely positive light lol
hey abbey! i have a question. so ever since quarantine started I've been drinking one of those emergen-C vitamin supplements powder that you mix with water and I just am curious if that is actually beneficial? thanks!
Verity Sullivan mega doses of vitamin c do not boost your immunity or reduce the amount of time you’re sick. The only vitamin supplement that has been clinically shown to help with reducing time of sickness, like the common cold, is zinc. Keep in mind that it has not been shown to boost your immunity in any significant way, either. Don’t waste your money on those vitamin c packs unless you’re literally not eating your fruits and vegetables! The best way to maintain a healthy immune system is to get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and eat a healthy diet. Stay safe, all the best
Eg Eating a red bell pepper, 100g of Brokkoli or an orange will get you all the vitamin c an adult needs in a day, so unless you don’t really eat fruits and vegetables, vitamin c shouldn’t be something you are lacking in :)
To me, this was more in line with an AIP diet. Usually one does this with a Dr or nutritionist's guidance. You eliminate basically everything then add one thing at a time to se if a particular food affects inflammation levels, pain, nausea, exhaustion, ect. The whole checking the blood sugar thing was weird.
I don't personally eat red meat, but from the friends who I've spoken to that do, almost all of them complain that it upsets their stomach (steak in particular). Can you comment on this? Is red meat hard to digest due to lack of fiber? Why does steak and other red meats seem to be hard on peoples digestive systems?
I tried keto once because of the claims for mental health that it fixes anxiety. Oh boy it just didn’t feel good. Then I became vegetarian for other reasons while still trying to do keto imagine that 😅 Keto just wasn’t sustainable. I’m soo glad I found your channel. Thinking about food just became something much simpler in my mind 💛
I did a ketoish type diet while cutting weight for my first Muay Thai fight and it didn't take long to end that lol. I had to add in more carbs because I was miserable, despite eating every few hours...and my kidneys hurt.
I love all of your dietitian review videos!! Can you please review Jess Beautician’s what I eat in a day videos? I like her recipes a lot and it’d be great to know your thoughts on her meals. Thank you!
I don't think you understand how difficult it is to live with IBS, foods gets a bit more boring but I reither find food boring then being in pain all the time..
Omg thank you for debunking the nightshade veggies thing. My Mom had this physical therapist after her wrist surgery who told her not to eat nightshade veggies and it made me so mad. 1. PTs are not dieticians and 2. Red bell peppers have the most insane amounts of anti-inflammatory antioxidants! The idea that a healthcare practioner would scare people out of eating the healthiest foods on the planet -- really grinds my gears.
I agree with most points made in this video and think the advice given to follow a ketogenic diet as a sort of reset was definitely bad advice. Where did they come up with 2 weeks as being the best amount of time to fix any sort of problem? Measuring blood sugar to see what a food response will be and equating it with inflammation is also making me smack my forehead over here. I appreciate you pulling research and using it to back your expertise however, I had an issue with you citing the Wan et al. (2019) finding as a way to make a point that keto may cause inflammation and reduce the concentration of good bacteria. While the paper did show a high-fat diet could cause this issue, it is worth noting that the higher fat diet was not a keto diet as it still contained 40% of calories from carbs. Additionally, the fat source consumed during the study (which was provided to participants) was soybean oil and according to the paper " It should be noted that the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was relatively high in the higher-fat diet group (24% of total energy) owing to exclusive use of soybean oil, which is rich in n-6 PUFA. A higher intake of n-6 PUFA has been reported to have proinflammatory effects." I'd like to see a study like this on participants who are on a true ketogenic diet and are consuming a more realistic variety of fats in the diet. I cycle on and off keto and soybean oil is NOT something I consume.
I have seen two of your videos reviewing Sanne's diet and honestly I don;t think you do her justice. There are several videos that seems to show restrictive diet but I have watched all of her videos and she eats very balanced and healthy on a daily basis. Maybe next time chose a video that is not so controversial? Anyway, thanks for the free information on your video!

This made me burst out laughing. Even my partner who is a medical school loved it. He said you won the Internet for the day.

The trainer is going way out of his expertise. Last semester in my Physiology of exercise class our professor gave all the students who wanted to be personal trainers an important message, Do NOT get into nutrition problems with your clients! That is not your job, that's when you direct them to a Dietitian!... I loved that professor and that's exactly what is happening here. Her trainer is not being responsible. So glad you made this video Abbey!
Personal trainers are trained pretty greatly in nutrition and diet planning though, are they not?
@@reprimand_ they take several Nutrition classes, enough to have knowledge of a good diet and manipulating certain macronutrients to reach certain goals. When it comes to a client that is having digestion problems that's out of their range of expertise. That's a job for an RD.
@@reprimand_ In this case he showed his lack of knowledge in the subject with all the mixed advice and protocols he was doing with her. Many things he said were facts but it was not the right protocol for her specific needs.
@@LeslieMendoza11 Good point, I see what you mean!
Great point! Fitness and health Professionals should be working together and refering clients when something is out of their scope of practice.
I am starting to feel like these disclaimers about influencers not being doctors/dieticians while talking about the latest diet regiment they are trying are becoming like the terms of use everybody signs, but nobody reads.

Trigger warning! Discussion of weight loss, and my relative using the dry method
My dad was a body builder before I was born. I didn’t know it was called, ‘dry,’ but he attributes it to his many permanent physical disabilities. He would talk about nearly starving before a competition and then hydrating at the last second to make those ‘veins pop for the judging.’ How terrifying that they were so dehydrated to begin with. He discussed that the starvation technique they’d use would make their skin ‘paper thin to enhance the outline of each muscle group.’ Scuse me?
He eventually got out of those competitions and stopped body building all together. Lifting to that extreme was a bad idea, but lifting under the conditions he put on his body caused permanent damage to many areas in his body.
Please please please save your body and do not follow that method!
This is a really useful perspective. I powerlift (I love my body and have no interest in, "building" it) but sometimes I do think my ego overrides my common sense. Thank you! 🤗
Hii thanks for sharing
Can you elaborate on what kind of conditions he developed because of that
@steph: I also enjoy powerlifting. It sounds like you have a very positive view on it. Best of luck! Keep taking care of that body. My dad would remind you that it’s the only body you have, so love it
@Marah he has Various detached muscles in the shoulder, slipped/bulging discs, knee replacement, just to name a few. He’s struggled with his metabolism ever since as well. Both he and I will acknowledge that bodybuilding the way he did played a part in his body’s condition, but crash-dieting to show off the hard work more likely led to poor form, poor recovery, and an increased risk of muscle and joint damage.
Thanks for sharing his experience
The Ronnie Coleman documentary illustrates this beautifully.
I think Sanne saying she wants to get “dry” is a case of not knowing the proper English term. In Dutch we indeed use dry (“droog”), but in English “shredded” is used.
That term makes sense in English too. It’s used in bodybuilding a lot to describe your physique before a show
@@autymsanson yeah in bodybuilding, in Dutch when you say you want to be 'dyrer' it has nothing to do with water, it just means you want to lose some bodyfat. Any average gym goer will use the term. Not just those who are seriously into bodybuilding and have to get stage ready. I guess 'leaner' would be a better way to translate it to English.
Whenever I hear Dutch people talk I forget that English isn’t their first language lol
@@SummerLangereis I'm an average gym goer and I have never heard that term.
Thanks for the intel
The Ketogenic diet really helped me with my epilepsy. After having 4-6 seizures at a time (I almost wasn't able to finish high school and felt very sick my first semster of college), to not having a seizure in over a year and 7 months. My brainpower and focus also improved significantly. But now, I mainly just stick to healthy sources of protein, fat, and carbs, rather than going back to the Keto diet or the low-nutritional value diet I was eating before, which consisted of a lot of processed foods. I have felt so much better since sticking to real food. P.S. Your videos have been really helpful!! I have learned a lot!!!
Glad that works for you!
That make sense, keto was designed for epilepsy

I think my biggest issue with RUclipsrs publishing WIEIAD videos and diet/meal videos is they rarely talk about getting help from a doctor or RD. It's also annoying that whenever they get criticism for sharing incorrect/non-evidence-based information they'll say things like, well I'm not telling YOU to eat this way. Like? You're still an influencer! You know someone is going to copy you because you have a body type that is generally sought after. I'm particularly annoyed by this one because just because someone is trained in one field does not mean they're educated in another (in regards to her fitness trainer). I rolled my eyes so hard at the end of her video where (presumably) her trainer said they were going to share this data with her doctor. That should have been the first step! Not an afterthought.
TL;DR people need to seek help with licensed professionals in the field before they post and take accountability for sharing harmful content.
La'Tia Smith 100% agree.
I had a big problem with Sanne defending these videos for this exact reason! There were tons and tons of people in her comments gently explaining to her that the video was triggering, not science-based, that there were tons of red flags in it, and that she would be causing other people to try this highly restrictive diet. She kept just responding that she was not telling other people to do it, she was just sharing her own story. I really wish she would have at least acknowledged the feedback instead of writing it off. It sounds like she must have finally heard the feedback though if she removed the videos
For sure!
It’s mind-boggling to me. You are a rich person who clearly has enough money to see the doctor right here and right now, why won’t you do that?! I can totally understand why someone who doesn’t have an access to the doctor will google some bullshit, but she has no excuses for such behaviour.
My doctor has an inkling that I have issues with sulfur in food, so I’m on a low-sulfur diet for awhile. It’s INCREDIBLY restrictive. I literally only eat dark meat chicken, salmon, romaine lettuce, zucchini, root veggies, 1/2 cup jasmine rice a day, some seeds, and a lot of fruit.
BUT bc of watching these videos, I’ve been trying to make sure my meals are as balanced as possible, even tho I’m very restricted. So, I’ve been feeling satiated and satisfied. Thank you :)
I'm so glad they are helpful!
feel better soon x
With how often youtubers have been removing videos, you might want to look into some web archives to keep the video on the way back machine for when you’re going back to edit! :) congrats on baby O and love your videos!
Thanks for the suggestion. And thank you! ❤️
I did Keto for 3 months, mainly so I could have my own experiences before I educated others on it - and it did reduce inflammation and fogginess in my head quite a bit. It was too restrictive and there’s no long term studies on certain health risks but it did work pretty well. I wouldn’t tell any of my clients that it’ll work “guaranteed” though. That’s a little risky because we are all different and there are many approaches you could take to get similar results.
There's studies that linked it to a significant increase in the likelihood of developing a restrictive ED and a few on negative short term health problems caused by keto. It still is likely nothing but a fad diet and seems highly risky
Thanks for sharing your experience
Well people who benefit from keto diets (diabetes, pcos) claim they dont experience any issues but a better health condition, which is wierd considering the amount of protein can overload your kidneys and the fat can increase cardiovascular diseases.
Prffbunny T I just don’t think they’ve been on Keto for long enough. There’s not many long studies and I’ve experienced the short term benefits myself. But is it sustainable long term? I think there’s better approaches out there that could give similar results.
@@kaytee789 I thought it was recommended for those with epilepsy and that some research had been conducted for those with diabetes. I have not heard that it is good for PCOS.
It feels so weird seeing this trend of extreme dieting and 'finding what feels good for my body' among very young and generally healthy people. Growing up, I would just eat whatever my parents made and never worry about eating too much or too little, the same was with my friends and nobody ever experienced any digestive problems or anything to even think about changing their diets. Might be our “healthy” traditional Croatian cuisine, idk. 😂🤷🏼♀️ Anyone else feel the same?
Same here with my German and Russian diet. The whole concept of going on an elimination diet to find inflammation or bloating triggers or whatever these people are looking for just seems so weird to me. 😂
I believe that restrictive diets should be reserved for trying to treat specific medical issues. People spend way too much time and energy on this stuff in my opinion. Avoiding highly processed foods is the only thing that I do and even then if I'm at a party or want a treat I eat it.
I had never heard of the “bloating problem” before I discovered American fitness and nutrition RUclips. Honestly I think it’s a really American thing. Of course I noticed a bit of expanding and deflating of my stomach from time to time in a day (long time vegetarian and now vegan, so relatively high fiber), but I never felt the need to give it a name or to even get rid of for aesthetic reasons, nor to seek for the root of “it” because it is and has been such a normal thing to me, that a human body does “this”, as to “sometimes being flat, sometimes don’t”, that I never gave any attention to that. For context: living in Germany, grew up with a normal German diet but way less meat than normal, vegetarian since I was 10yo. I simply always ate what was there ^^
@@piau1798 preach sis!!! 💯
It's just marketing tricks to make us believe our stomach should always be unrealistically flat even after a big meal. So sickening. Especially for young people with lack of self esteem.
As someone with IBS, I'll have to disagree. We're ca 15% of people in the western world, and the bloating problem is real! It sounds like many of these people also have it...
You should look into Lilly Sabri, she was vegan and now she's pescatarian and I think she's a great example for younger girls! She recently did a live with a nutritionist (I think, he may have been a dietitian but I don't remember tbh) and she gave great advice against restricting too much as someone commented they were eating way too little calories! She's an intuitive eater too!
On the list

I’m so happy I came across your channel, Abbey! I’m tired of seeing crash diets and misinformation all over the internet. Your channel provides a scientific and realistic view on food and nutrition. As a girl who has a difficult relationship with food, THANK YOU
Sanne seems to have the best intentions for her audience. But her lack of knowledge in the fields of nutrition, the human body in general and skincare can pose a lot of health risks for her audience. She could either gain more expertise on these topics, or choose topics she already has expertise on.
"I wake up and it (stomach) is super flat...it's not even about that." Oops, I believe we have a Freudian slip!
so true lol so many of these youtubers perpetuating diet culture try to mask it all as 'health/wellness/feeling good' but sadly it's usually actually wanting to have a flat stomach or detoxing
🙁
The disappointed pause after “bulletproof coffee” 😂😂😂😂😂🔝❤️

I like how you break down really complex concepts into something more digestible!! I remember learning some of this in school in some of my nutrition classes but there are many concepts that I didnt grasp then! This really helps refresh it and put it in a way that I can easily understand!

Hey Abbey! Can you please make a video about the FODMAP elimination diet (and IBS)? Thank you for sharing correct info with us haha
Ibs would be hard to document as everyones IBS is different. My mum and I both have IBS, I can eat eggs, she can't, gives her painful gas, whereas it doesn't affect me.
I have an older video about this on my channel (ruclips.net/video/gzmx0S60eb8/видео.html) but it's on the list to make a new one
As you mentioned Diabetes, I would love a video about diabetes friendly food - my boyfriend has Diabetes Type I and I would love to learn more about it :)
You're an awesome partner!
Yes, I'm in the exact same boat mine was diagnosed back in January and I just want to be able to cook for him after lockdown is over (his immune system is still iffy because of blood sugar spikes)
Thanks for the suggestion
I 100% recommend him asking his Diabetes Maintenance Team to give him a referral. And do that every few years. I always learn so much through mine and also get to explore some ways that specific foods effect me. (I find it especially helpful because I follow a mostly-vegan diet and “fast” foods are always coming out.) I have certain foods that seem to trigger a longer lasting blood sugar spike and exploring these under the direction of a professional has changed my life AND my HbA1c.
You are great for wanting to find the best way to help your bf! I definitely agree with Tiffany X's suggestion regarding talking to his Diabetes Maintenance Team. Also, as a mom of a T1 (my son was dx 12 yrs ago) no food is exactly "off limits". From the beginning, his docs said he could eat what we eat as long as he manages his insulin doses correctly. Heck - he's even had candy at the movies. :-) BUT, like all of us, certain foods are definitely better. We aim for the combo of protein, carb, fat since it tends to slow down the breakdown of carbs (like Abbey said in this video). Also, everyone is different (T1 or not) and certain foods affect him differently than they affect others even when they are "the same" in relation to carbs, etc. His kryptonite is pizza. It always throws us a curve ball when he eats it and we have tried numerous ways to handle it. All this to say, encourage him to eat healthy and nothing (especially favorites) should be always off limits. I truly believe each T1's road is different and very individual.
My guess is that after they spoke with their doctor (not a personal trainer without medical knowledge) they took the video down because of the misinformation contained therein.
In that case, it would be better to also explain that and give a reason why this diet plan is not good
You’re helping my diet life more than you’ll ever know 💞

People really think just because you get bloated after a meal means you need to change your diet? PSA! Just because after a meal your stomach isn’t as flat as the photoshopped influencers you see on Instagram does not mean you need to change your whole diet.
There's a full belly after a meal, then there is painful, excessive bloating. I do agree, some people probably don't realise they're meant to feel like that after a decent, satiating meal but I do know others who have serious bloating that doesn't go away for hours after eating.
It's not about a full belly, feeling bloated is a completely different sensation than being full. It's uncomfortable, and often comes with other bad symptoms. It's not about how you look, it's about how you feel, but I agree with everything else.
I have a serious problem with bloating, changing my diet made me realize it was caused by a particular food i love and i dont know why. I was constantly bloated 24/7 (from day to night), I look like i was pregnant, it was painfull.
I do understand that fitness influencers restrict too much to at a certain way end up pushing misinformation to the audiência regardless their diets, but who are you to blame fitness influencers are pressured to look at a certain way if they dont look the same way, its like they are failing doing their jobs (looking at a certain way).

Abbey, thank you so much for your videos! I‘ve gained weight in quarantine and wasn’t happy about it. But instead of starving myself I now started to really listen to my body.

Ah I was one of those people who requested a video on these messes of videos... Happy she took one of them down! So much misinformation that could very well be dangerous to the young girls looking up to her and willing to take every piece of diet advice she puts out there.
For sure
there is actually a lot of research about keto diet (KD) and reducing inflammation. Im not a fan of the KD, but I recently did an independent study on reducing neural inflammation for epilepsy and depression through the KD. It seems as though some individuals who do not respond to the currently available pharmaceutical options do improve in epileptic symptoms while on the KD. In fact, the KD was originally designed for children with epilepsy. So there is a ton of research out there for anyone interested about the anti-inflammatory effects of the KD both at the neural and more physical level. It is a bit of a mess......but I would say it certainly is empirically supported.
Inflammation seems to be a buzz word-- do you think is the case? I always hear this. Might be worth a video on it's own at some point. You seem busy at the moment. :D
Thanks for the suggestion
Love this comment and would like to see a video on the topic. For me it’s almost the same as “anxiety” being thrown around nowadays. Many people use both words to describe their own body’s reactions, but is it true inflammation? Anxiety? Or self-diagnosed. As someone with ulcerative colitis who has actual gut inflammation, needing colonoscopies or ct scans to show said inflammation, I’m wondering how so many of these health and fitness gurus can make all these claims against inflammation but without even knowing if they have any true inflammation at all.
@Jay J I was thinking the same thing. Also, inflammation is not always a bad thing. It is how the body recovers and repairs itself.
That would be awesome, but also I suffer from more than one chronic illness, and they all seem to cause inflammation in different parts of my body. It would be great to control with diet, because many of the anti-inflammatory medications come with some pretty intense side effects that make one seriously have to think about the benefit to health vs affected quality of life from side effects issue. I think many of us would love to find a balance of foods that cures this inflammation so we could take less meds, but I also don't think that's possible, or someone would have figured it out already. I hope that makes sense, having chronic illnesses, I'm always told to try this diet or this vitamin, and it never seems like the answer is actually that easy.
I’ve always loved your channel for the positivity and information you share!
I wanted to let you know that your recent personal Q+A’s have made you a million times more relatable (in my opinion). We got to see your quick wit + bubbly side, which was so fun! Thank you so much for sharing and I wish the best for you and your family!
Not that you weren’t relatable before those videos, I just really enjoyed them 😊
So glad!!! There’s more to come since I’m now hanging out at home more w babe
I love hearing that nightshades being pro-inflammatory is a myth. They're some of my favorite veggies...particularly peppers. I eat bell peppers every day and some form of tomato every other day (at least). Do people think keto is good because of the low fiber content = less gassy?
Same here, I love Southwestern cooking, so everything starts with onions, garlic, and peppers or chiles. Usually topped with tomatoes too. It's great to hear that they also contain some anti-inflammatory chemicals that balance them out.
Maybe. I know a lot of people that have absolutely no background in nutrition like to claim that being gassy is bad. I literally lost 90 pounds while eating those gassy foods.
I'm currently eating lower carbs as after my low fodmap course, my doctor found lots of food high in carbs irritated my bowels (I have ibs), but I'm still trying to keep carbs in my daily life.
I still want to talk to a dietitian about a proper food plan though cause some days I just struggle to get proportions correct and some days I get scared to eat carbs (this could also be my past E.D self talking).
While I'm still looking around for a dietitian, I'm glad I have channels like yourself to help explain a lot of these fad diets and food issues and express the importance of a balanced diet.
Also, power to you for the early labor inserts! That's dedication right there!
Thank you. I'm glad it is helpful

Sanne was one of my absolute favorite RUclipsrs until she made these videos :( as someone who suffers from SIBO/IBS, I tried so many restrictive diets trying to “debloat” and never had success. I always felt like such a failure when I still experienced bloating. Her videos felt very triggering for me and I haven’t been able to really watch her since :\
I have ibs too and need to eat low fodmap and gluten free. When they talk about bloating it annoys me sometimes bc there's nothing i can do abt my bloating and just had to learn to accept that i have a bit of a belly all the time. I understand u not watching her, would annoy me too. I personally love becky excell, she has super positive videos and all sorts of yummy low fodmap ibs friendly recipes. ❤️❤️
orsikocs that’s the same thing for me - my bloating isn’t as awful as it was prior to treating most of my SIBO, but I don’t wake up with a “flat” stomach anymore like I used to prior to developing my GI disorders, despite being very close to the same size and weight. I’ll check her out! I don’t personally eat low fodmap as, unfortunately, I’m one of the 25% of IBS suffers whom the diet does not work for, but the positivity sounds really awesome. Thanks!
That's totally valid. I hope you can go back to her channel eventually and maybe, if you haven't already, you can reach out to her and let her know. It might help her to keep diet culture rhetoric at bay.
Steph I reached out when she posted the videos. If she doesn’t continue to post things like that then I can definitely find my way back to her channel, but I just lost a little bit of trust in her with that string of videos, so just kind of waiting now to see if she goes back to her other content or continues on with this stuff

Haha thank you
This video was AMAZING! I've gotten lured into so many of these restrictive diets with the empty promises of "no more bloat" and being "headache free" - hoping to find relief from some chronic stomach pain. I've found, after so so so many years of confusion and pain, that a lot of my discomfort had to do with unhealed trauma and the chronic stress that came with it. I only post this to share my experience in case there are other precious people out there who may have the same story. A wonderful therapist, good friends, healthy sleep, sane amounts of exercise, and registered dietitians like Abbey have begun to help me heal from a discomfort that - for me - was mostly caused by a stressful and unfulfilling lifestyle and childhood. Ultimately, I don't think we get to live a pain free life (a delusion that I think a lot of alternative healers prey upon) but I do think we can heal a lot of what's causing the pain.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Glad you are finding relief!
When you're too soon to read comments 😔
😫
I remember Sanne got a lot of hate when this elimination diet video came out. I commented something about how the blood sugar test was unnecessary and she replied very defensively. I wasn’t even trying to ‘be a hater’; I’m a fan and was just concerned. I’m not surprised she took the video down. This video really clarified all the misinformation, love it!
And can we please appreciate that Abbey is still working and keeping up with her YT channel while in early labor??!
Thank you
Holy crap! You’re filming parts of this video while you’re in early labor?! That’s a super mom right there. Meanwhile I’m whining about a hurt foot!
Real Talk, congrats and good luck! Please take care of yourself, and hope all is well!
Thank you! ❤️
hey!!! thanks for addressing this video... definitely been thinking about it since she uploaded it :)
p.s. i think she mentioned once that her name was pronounced "sawn-uh vloot" but i could be wrong haha
Thank you for letting me know
I just started HelloFresh (week 3 tomorrow) and it works well for me and I like the option to choose what goes in my box and I have next to no food waste. I personally love it and that they are working towards more sustainable practices
That's great!
loved this video. I am a studying nutritionist and even I didn't know all of the things in depth that you discussed, so I can't imagine the things going through someones head that had no idea or background in the subject. as always, love your videos because they are so informative!
Glad that was helpful!
Abbey’s most recent videos have been really well done. I’m impressed:)
When I cut cruciferous vegetables out of my diet I stopped having gas and bloating. Fiber is great but too much... no bueno
Glad that worked for you
I can have them, but they have to be cooked. But I totally agree, you can have too much fiber. Sometimes cooking them makes them easier to digest. I'm happy you found what works for you!
Omg I love the wallpaper in your home !!! Please tell us where you got it! Is this your office?!
I can not believe you filmed this disclaimer part while in early labor.. You're literally a superwoman
Thank you ❤️
I remember that video, I even coment on that one, I don't tink myself as someone rude or mean for making a comment, I just said, I think you need to visit a nutritionist becouse that diet seems to restrict. a few minutes latter theire followers almost insult me! the were so mean tring to defend that "healty life style" so thanks for making this video with necesary foundamentals so hopfully people get persuade not to try on.
Thank you so much for all of your advice and videos❤️❤️❤️ I watch all of them! Would you like to review sami Clarke? A friend of Sanne? She’s just done a fruitarian diet for her acne and I just don’t get it... lots of love Jenny
On the list
Your dedication is outstanding Abbey💕
Thank you ❤️
I think if an influencer gives a disclaimer, that is enough. We should not only be allowed to do something and post it for an audience if there are scientific studies saying we should. Even if we wanted to do that, there are lots of conflicting studies out there. We should do what feels best for us and not feel the need to back it up with studies to be able to do so. We need to take responsibility for ourselves as consumers of this content and not just do something because we see someone online doing it.
Yay! I love your videos! You’ve helped me so much! Also congrats!
Thank you! ❤️
Someone I talked to said they had been under going an elimination diet and was just starting to add foods back in. I asked if anyone was supervising her. She said "yes, my chiropractor". I had no words.
😫
Dear Abbey, I recently started watching your videos and I love them! There is so much nutrition advice coming from unqualified people. As a young woman I unfortunately also fell prone to episodes of orthorexia, excessive exercise and hypothalamic amenorrhea. I have recovered but gosh, it's insane that vloggers, magazines etc. promote you to undernourish your body on such a large scale, as if it's just a woman's (often men's too) fate. Abbey, keep spreading your content! I hope girls who are the younger version of me find your channel.
Thank you ❤️and thanks for sharing your experience
this is such good information thank u!! im so glad u exist on youtube
I do love Hello Fresh... but to me one of the biggest drawbacks was the absence of complex carbohydrates. It’s 100% white carbs. Which is fine every now and then but I feel better with complex and it’s healthier. Would be great if they could give you an option! Abbey, tell them what’s up!
Thanks for this feedback
Keto was fabulous for me !! If anyone is interested in it I recommend watching Dr. Berg and his suggestions on Keto as he recommends high vegetable volume so fiber is never an issue ! It really saved my health !!
Thanks for sharing
Also, a video with Abby Langer just came up on my feed and BRING HER BACK 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Those videos of you two were so funny.
Thanks for the suggestion!
An elimination diet recommended to me by an esthetician to help with acne about 2 years ago basically ruined my relationship with food. Once I recovered, it really sparked my interest in nutrition
Thanks for sharing your experience
As a french i always ate lot of carbs and a little bit less fat and protein but now i see so much people on social media who seems to be obsessed with cutting carbs of their diet that it makes me feel uncomfortable with my habits and what i eat , why is it so bad ? I never had health issues with eating lot of carbs and always Been very skinny but now that i see all these influencer doing that i feel like i have to reduce my carbs intake too because it is « bad » 😔
I feel the same. I'm Croatian and always been eating traditional foods that indeed include lot of carbs and meat and never had any problems neither did my friends, parents or grandparents. No restrictions whatsoever. Grandparents lived long healthy lives and if that isn't the best proof that we don't have to worry, I don't know what is?!
It’s not bad! Different peoples bodies react to food differently - low carb diets can help people with certain health issues - hormone issues, diabetes or insulin resistance, but you don’t need to avoid carbs if you are doing perfectly well eating them. Low-carb is just the trendy diet at the moment, before low carb, it was low fat. When you see the various diets, remember that every person is different - no stranger can tell you what you should eat. If you are healthy and happy as you are, then you are doing fine with your diet!
Fordt and foremost, congratulations on your delivery and the newest addition to the family :) I'd like to suggest doing a video on Naturally Stephanie and maybe another one revisiting NuttyFoodieFitness xx
Thanks for the suggestions
Thank you so much for this video and all you do. I know that if I was still in my ED I would be totally drawn to these type of “What I Eat in a Day” videos and your videos have really helped me reinforce what I’ve learned from my therapist and ED recovery. ❤️
So glad it is helpful
I did the low fodmap diet myself and it saved my life! Thanks to my doctor who helped me with this I found out that my body can't digest couple of food and now I can finally live my life again. Bye bye onion, garlic and sweet potato 😢 welcome healthy gut 🙌
Same for me! I’m sensitive to a few of the FODMAPs and eliminating them means no pain and I can live outside of a bathroom.
I pity you. I eat those everyday.
Glad that helped you
I used to have really bad digestive issues. Since I cut out dairy, meat and eggs it’s gone. I didn’t cut it out completely but I rarely eat it. There are high and low inflammatory foods. So I don’t know why everyone is now trying keto against inflammatory problems.
Glad that worked for you
you look so different in and out of pregnancy! you're glowing. love your content :)
Another vid, another comment.
I half agree that the trainer may have been out of their depth in giving nutritional recommendations, and perhaps they should have said to go to a dietitian or nutritionist for a thorough plan if they, as a trainer, weren't qualified to give such advice.
I also agree that the trainers advice for a 2 week keto elim diet before slow reintroduction of ordinary foods was perhaps not the best idea, and that testing blood sugar was a dumb way to determine inflammation. However, that's all I'm on board for.
The diet keto elim should have lasted maybe 4-6 weeks since that's about when the body gets somewhat used to the diet, and from there they should have begun to test adding different low carb keto friendly foods for a time to see if any were causing problems, then add in higher fiber low carb foods to see if fiber or certain foods with fiber were the problem, then add higher carb/protein foods to see if carbs/protein or foods with those things were the problem.
Also, as usual Abbey uses studies to craft an anti-keto narrative. She says there's evidence that keto can help with inflammation, but says that reduced inflammation may be caused by the supposedly necessary elimination of fiber and other fermentatable carbs on a ketogenic diet, but also essentially says that fiber is good for the digestive tract and that it's reduction may cause problems that require elimination diets in the first place. First of all, that's a clever catch .22; if keto elimination diet works, it's possibly cuz there's no fiber, but it could also fail because there's no fiber, either way avoid keto. Second, I guess she's never heard of pecans, or filberts, or other high fat, high fiber, low carb plant foods that people on keto can eat as a fiber source, but it wouldn't fit her narrative I guess.
she cites a study at 11:06 to back up her statement that keto could worsen inflammation and gut bacterial populations, but that study means nothing. It had people eating 40% fat at most, and compared them to groups eating 20% and 30% fat. 40% is not high fat or keto because keto people usually eat at least around 70% fat, so that study means nothing for keto eaters.
Even assuming that the gut bacterial diversity of keto people does take a hit as the study claims, considering that people still tend to get IBD/IBS relief on keto, among other benefits, is the decreased gut diversity really an issue after that? Maybe the other bacterial types that disappear are less necessary for biological functions on keto? Just spitballing tbh, but still, the decrease in gut flora diversity comes alongside all the other typical benefits of keto like decreased inflammation, decreased insulin resistance, decreased bloating, etc. Would it be a big problem for keto that gut flora diminishes if these other health benefits also come with the package?
She says at 11:58 that there's "some" evidence keto can help with inflammation, but she says that it examined people with diabetes and not the general population so that doesn't count. At this point I know she's cherry-picking, because I found a study that saw decreased inflammation and increased insulin sensitivity in *nonobese* subjects. And yes, it was an RCT. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4586572/
Abbey then spends 12:38 to about 12:50 or so talking about how some people think nightshade is inflammatory, but that it's not according to an arthritis org., and she talks about how a certain potato that's rich in antioxidants helped reign in arthritis symptoms. This isn't pro-nightshade, pro-potatoes, or pro carbs as much as it is pro antioxidants/noninflammatory foods. Antioxidants in diet seem to be pretty good in bringing down inflammation levels, and of course oxidation levels, in people's bodies. Guess what's also been found to bring down inflammation and oxidation? Keto. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4294438/; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18046594/
Things like the soft denouncment of red meat at 13:58 are why I comment. Abbey says the RUclipsr may have a hard time with meat generally, then grandstands about *red meat* specifically when red meat is likely to not be included in the 2 week keto elim, since it's infamously controversial in nutrition science. Even if Sanne did plan to eat it, Abbeys own study says there there is a mere **association** between red meat and negative health outcomes, not that red meat causes those outcomes. Plus the study she cites is only in women and not in the general population, so by her standards it shouldn't count, but I guess population standards can be more relaxed when the study supports a stance you agree with.
"Detoxing," while overused and nearly devoid of meaning due to improper usage, is actually something the body does do. All it means is clearing out things that are harmful, and while the process can't be rushed by scams like juice cleanses and such, uncovering and eliminating harmful foods from the diet is the whole point of elimination diets; it's giving your body a chance to recover from the toxic things that were pumped into it and keeping those things out, basically like drug withdrawal but for food. Use of the terms detox or "full body reset" change nothing. The body is always "detoxing", the keto elim diet is just meant to root out what the toxic substance may be. Also, walnuts are too high carb for most keto eaters.
At 15:57 you say she's eating 95 grams of carbs. I would agree if you said "net carbs," because that's what keto people usually count, since "net" excludes fiber and other carbs not absorbed by the body. Everything you say that is premised on this 95 number is therefore somewhat dubious.
Lastly, Abbey commented on the need for keeping track of glycemic index and glycemic load to know if the body can handle carbs; it's actually more about insulin index, which glycemic index is a heuristic for. Diabetes is only technically a problem with internal blood sugar control; it's actually a problem with internal blood insulin control. This matters because while carbs can spike people's blood sugar and insulin response, proteins can spike their insulin response, but not their blood sugar; it's that effect on insulin that causes real problems, and Insulin levels are rhe more accurate marker of potential problems in the body compared to blood sugar levels.
And, done.
Do you think in the future you could possibly go more in detail about dna tests which determine your "ideal diet", along with their validity? I hear a lot of people and influencers promote these- edit: talk about them in an extremely positive light lol
I’ve got a video coming about this
Lol I love that you literally filmed in early labor 😂
hey abbey! i have a question. so ever since quarantine started I've been drinking one of those emergen-C vitamin supplements powder that you mix with water and I just am curious if that is actually beneficial? thanks!
Verity Sullivan mega doses of vitamin c do not boost your immunity or reduce the amount of time you’re sick. The only vitamin supplement that has been clinically shown to help with reducing time of sickness, like the common cold, is zinc. Keep in mind that it has not been shown to boost your immunity in any significant way, either. Don’t waste your money on those vitamin c packs unless you’re literally not eating your fruits and vegetables! The best way to maintain a healthy immune system is to get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and eat a healthy diet. Stay safe, all the best
Eg Eating a red bell pepper, 100g of Brokkoli or an orange will get you all the vitamin c an adult needs in a day, so unless you don’t really eat fruits and vegetables, vitamin c shouldn’t be something you are lacking in :)
Love these videos! I would like to see one on Emily Didonato
On the list
girl is so committed she FILMED WHILE IN LABOUR
Hi Abbey! Plz add UK RUclipsr Niomi Smart to your list! I'm interested to see what you think about her vegan diet and portions :)
On the list
Abbey out here being the real MVP updating her videos WHILE IN LABOUR
Haha thanks
Abby, whats your verdict on dairy? Is it actually dangerous for us?
Unless you're lactose intolerant or allergic to it no. Or if you're eat and/or drinking a shit ton of it
On my list to make a video about this
Lol love early labour Abbey popping in. Always trying to be so informative and fair and I appreciate it!
Thank you!
To me, this was more in line with an AIP diet. Usually one does this with a Dr or nutritionist's guidance. You eliminate basically everything then add one thing at a time to se if a particular food affects inflammation levels, pain, nausea, exhaustion, ect. The whole checking the blood sugar thing was weird.
Have a happy labor!!! So excited for you and your little blessing!!
Thank you! ❤️
I don't personally eat red meat, but from the friends who I've spoken to that do, almost all of them complain that it upsets their stomach (steak in particular). Can you comment on this? Is red meat hard to digest due to lack of fiber? Why does steak and other red meats seem to be hard on peoples digestive systems?
I tried keto once because of the claims for mental health that it fixes anxiety. Oh boy it just didn’t feel good.
Then I became vegetarian for other reasons while still trying to do keto imagine that 😅
Keto just wasn’t sustainable.
I’m soo glad I found your channel.
Thinking about food just became something much simpler in my mind 💛
I did a ketoish type diet while cutting weight for my first Muay Thai fight and it didn't take long to end that lol. I had to add in more carbs because I was miserable, despite eating every few hours...and my kidneys hurt.
I love all of your dietitian review videos!! Can you please review Jess Beautician’s what I eat in a day videos? I like her recipes a lot and it’d be great to know your thoughts on her meals. Thank you!
On the list
I don't think you understand how difficult it is to live with IBS, foods gets a bit more boring but I reither find food boring then being in pain all the time..
You should do Sarah's Vegan! I love her channel.
I'll have a look
Omg thank you for debunking the nightshade veggies thing. My Mom had this physical therapist after her wrist surgery who told her not to eat nightshade veggies and it made me so mad. 1. PTs are not dieticians and 2. Red bell peppers have the most insane amounts of anti-inflammatory antioxidants! The idea that a healthcare practioner would scare people out of eating the healthiest foods on the planet -- really grinds my gears.
Glad that was helpful
I can't tell you how much you make my day! I hope you have a great labor and good luck with the little one!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
I agree with most points made in this video and think the advice given to follow a ketogenic diet as a sort of reset was definitely bad advice. Where did they come up with 2 weeks as being the best amount of time to fix any sort of problem? Measuring blood sugar to see what a food response will be and equating it with inflammation is also making me smack my forehead over here. I appreciate you pulling research and using it to back your expertise however, I had an issue with you citing the Wan et al. (2019) finding as a way to make a point that keto may cause inflammation and reduce the concentration of good bacteria. While the paper did show a high-fat diet could cause this issue, it is worth noting that the higher fat diet was not a keto diet as it still contained 40% of calories from carbs. Additionally, the fat source consumed during the study (which was provided to participants) was soybean oil and according to the paper " It should be noted that the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was relatively high in the higher-fat diet group (24% of total energy) owing to exclusive use of soybean oil, which is rich in n-6 PUFA. A higher intake of n-6 PUFA has been reported to have proinflammatory effects." I'd like to see a study like this on participants who are on a true ketogenic diet and are consuming a more realistic variety of fats in the diet. I cycle on and off keto and soybean oil is NOT something I consume.
So are you saying an "autoimmune diet" is moot for people with autoimmune disorders?? Honestly just curious, help me understand!
No. But I think if you've got an autoimmune disease or issue, your diet is really something you should be reviewing with your doctor AND a dietician.
I have seen two of your videos reviewing Sanne's diet and honestly I don;t think you do her justice. There are several videos that seems to show restrictive diet but I have watched all of her videos and she eats very balanced and healthy on a daily basis. Maybe next time chose a video that is not so controversial? Anyway, thanks for the free information on your video!
Where is the comment about Abbet legit being in labor in this video!? You've got this - sending you love!
Thank you! ❤️
Hey Abbey, congrats on the baby! I was wondering if you've ever done a video on the Day Two app? I'd love to hear your POV on that.
I'll have a look at that
