"I was a victim of diet culture, so let me just dive right into this new diet culture"
Mmina Maclang totally
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
...which was practise by humans for millions of years.
No garden vegetables or vegetable markers in 1000 000 BC.
But there was many more opportunities to get essential nutrients because of different types of meat that most people don’t have access to currently. Ex: whale skin, for vitamin C which is lacking in meat
@@deiniolbythynnwr926 You really think that the metabolic mechanisms of the human body evolved in 20 000Bc?
I just get the impression that Alyse has an unhealthy relationship with food regardless of what her diet consists of. She seems totally focused on control and not nutrition.
HelenaBlack80 for sure
For real. I never cared for veganism but I loved her videos since she began on youtube. Overtime I’ve become so worried for her mental health
You’re right. I used to watch her when I was 16-17 while she was still raw vegan and I thought her life was perfect lol. I didn’t even realize how restrictive she really was. I hate thinking about girls who are even younger watching her, and taking her so called ‘journey’ as factual advice.
Alaa Atari The Vegan Society's formal definition is: "veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose."
Why would anyone not like that?
xValetinax that’s not the discussion we’re having. For her the food she’s eating isn’t really important. She isn’t feeding her body she’s feeding an eating disorder, which is a mental health issue.
I don’t get this new “fruits and vegetables are bad” thing
@S. Dancer it's actually not more filling or satiating
Julia Gundrum 👍🏼👍🏼
Julia Gundrum to me both carnivore and fully raw vegan are just ways to eat like an extremely picky toddler
@S. Dancer it's about blood sugar - any sugar in any form (including fruits) will spike blood sugar and eating a high "sugar" meaning carbs as well, can be detrimental to people who have problems with Insulin Resistance and hormonal imbalances...Diabetics shouldn't eat fruit - I put my Mother on a Ketogenic diet and not only did she lose some weight but she regulated her blood sugar and was able to come off of 2 medications for diabetes - there is a time and place for everything, including Keto and Carnivore
@S. Dancer I lost a shit ton of weight on keto and I was eating peanut butter with a spoon like ice cream, eating lots of meat, and of course veggies. but still, something about keto makes you lose weight even ignoring calories. (didn't work forever though bc it eventually stops being satisfying)
What is so frustrating is she blames veganism for ruining her health when all she would eat in a day is avocados and seed crackers. She’s the worst.
Same for most ex vegans! They were not eating properly
Laura Vance this is understandably frustrating, but oftentimes those with eating disorders use veganism as a way to restrict. That’s unfair to the vegan community, but you have to understand that many leave being vegan because without veganism as an excuse they can’t restrict as much and therefore can heal. Yes, you can eat junk as a vegan, but you can ask many people and they’ll be honest that their eating disorder led them to veganism so they would be unbothered by social expectations to eat because things weren’t accommodated by their vegan diet. It’s disordered eating that happens to be with a vegan diet.
agreed! She is so prideful and disrespectful to her viewers that are vegan which were the main ones supporting her channel. She had mango smoothies, side salads and avocado. absolutely ridiculous. I thought the diet was bad before she stopped. I don't know how she even got by
@@MadisonM1 yes I absolutely understand that as I'm a recovered anorexic and food elimination was a huge part of what led me to that. It's just important that people differentiate eating disorders and true veganism, and do not use it as a reason to believe being vegan in itself is unhealthy. You can be unhealthy on any diet
Laura Vance I totally agree with you! People are vegan for many reasons, but diets like her vegan diet do not properly reflect your lifestyle. Wish it were different.
I found it funny when she said that a carnivore diet eliminates all common food allergies. Aren't cow's milk, eggs and fish common food allergies?
Ruth Cousins yep top 8
Yeah, I was gonna say - Im literally allergic to eggs & dairy protein lmao
@@FABIOof119 🤣🤣🤣 yeah anaphylaxis is just a joke
@@hollymay5522 don't feed the (lame) troll....
@@FABIOof119 Guess I'm unnatural. Or perhaps - supernatural! Consider.
2 pounds (0,907kg) weightloss/gain is not something you should care about, because you can fluctutate that much in a day.
mortender 👍🏼👍🏼
Even Fluctuations up to 4 pounds/~2kg are normal... In the morning I usually weigh 2-3 kg less than in the evening.
Steini Stein true.for all we know she may have never done the challenge and just weighed herself in the morning and then again in the evening.
Another reason I doubt she even did the diet, because depleting muscle glycogen is typically more than 2lbs ESPECIALLY over a 30day period. Just my opinion though and what I've seen in 16 years in the health and fitness space.
@@user-up5sn2jw9d yup... I feel like she's the type to actually run with the money without delivering. She kept promoting her horrible raw vegan diet and juice fasts even though she KNEW it made her sick after all
Abbey is the mug empty be honest
Megan Smith maybe it’s a comfort thing like a blanket. I know a lot of speakers who prefer a hand held mic as opposed to a head set because they’re more comfortable that way. Maybe having something to do with her hands in comforting for her
@@laceygreen693 I get that. I was being facetious.
Megan Smith we want to know !
Lol oh 😂 interpretation over text is hard. Partially why my husband and I rarely text
I thought this the whole time 😂
“I know what its like to lose myself in diet culture” *starts an extreme diet* oml
Michelle Wild 😬
When Freelee and Abby agree on something you know it's bad
Melon lol
Wow
Mood. 😀
Hahahaaa TRUE!!!! 😂😂
Hahaha
Fun fact: she says in the video that her digestion was fine, but she said on Instagram that she pooped her pants twice during this 30 month challenge. Real interesting that she chose not to mention that in the sponsored video 🙄 Incredibly misleading, especially considering her audience is largely young women.
Kaitlyn Russell wow good to know
Lovely...
That's friggin hilarious! She shat her pants! LOL
Same with Joe Rogan. I don't believe for an instant that the digestion is amazing.
@@queenofswords420 I just think about the people in my gym who down protein shake after protein shake... The smell in the bathrooms is horrible 😂
I wish raw vegans would try actual regular veganism before jumping on the "veganism ruined my health" train 🥱
Right! Shows what kind of impression veganism leaves behind.
I know right. Or try a vegetarian diet. Most people struggle with the social part or the restrictions. I prefer a pescetarian diet myself. But like no one has to cold Turkey switch your diet and then when it doesn't work bash it
It does ruin your health
Ashley Gibson A vegetarian diet is worse for the environment than an omnivorous one. I understand why it would be easier, everyone knows it would be, but veganism is rooted in it's ethics. It simply isn't ethical.
Its no coincidence that people dont stay vegan or even vegetarian for long. You just need animal products, PERIOD. Do you think your ancestors could survive on a vegan diet? Vegans think that eating animals and animal products is cruel, but buying cocoa and cashews with toxic compounds gathered by kids and slaves is fine.
One of my favorite things is when the person she’s reviewing says something ridiculous and then Abbey gives us THAT look 👀
Rae17 KRB 😂
Haha. Same!! 😂
Her diet when "raw vegan" was far from balanced, she did juice cleanses, ate only fruit, ate only lettuce and crackers and also water fasted. Veganism isn't for everyone but she never gave a fair balanced vegan diet a shot. I could see her "ex vegan video" coming from a mile off. You can't sustain yourself on lettuce crackers and juice or on just meat. Alyse needs to stop promoting these extreme diets to her young impressionable (mostly female) audience.
leah jenner totally
@@FABIOof119 The problem is not with a vegan diet. You can get everything apart from B12 from a well balanced vegan diet. The problem is with her specific raw, low protein, low fat, high carb, low-calorie diet. Which was stupid. Check for example Unnatural Vegan, Cheap Lazy Vegan, they eat in a healthy way, while being vegan
Can we please just say this is orthorexia and shes promoting the devlopment of orthorexia in young women? I fell victim to this, ive been on extreme diets, keto and paleo, extreme fasting, I was severely underweight, and i eventually fell on vegan which did actulaly help me break the cycle (i could finally not feel guilty about eating stuff, had every food group, etc.), but a healthy relationship to food is not reflected by jumping from extreme diet to extreme diet and young women need to know this.
@@FABIOof119 "consumer sheeple" veganism is still a niche movement, its only in the past year its become slightly more popular but its like only like 3% of the population, hardly a "sheep" move to be vegan.
And the biggest lie these women say is "i did it cus i felt sick all the time.. candida.. etc.", many of my friends and I can attest, and you can transparently see it in these women, they adopt these diets for extreme weight loss, thats why I went paleo, i wanted to be rail thin.
The problem is...on her channel EVERYTHING she tries seems to help her. "WOW I LOVE what I'm eating right now it helps me SO MUCH with XYZ". Then X months later tells everyone about her health problems. EVERYTHING seems to help her, but ultimately hurt her, and none of it is balanced.
Erika Anderson totally
She is the epitome of extremes
Exactly 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 she just got into this diet so she should wait until she’s had more experience with it before she shares how great it is . And imo she needs a balanced diet
Vegetable Police does the same thing and it’s so silly and sad
Then don’t forget how she eventually circles back and says she didn’t know how bad the issue was before, or that the cure wasn’t actually helping her as much as she said it was.... But do you think she will take down that video where she advocates the original ‘cure’ that she now says doesn’t work? Not a damn chance. Gotta get dat coin.
“Elimates all food sensitivities”.... lactose tho.... isn’t that like the second most common food allergy behind peanuts
PotatoJess yes
Lactose intolerant people usually have no problem with raw milk.
Pasteurized Milk destroys all the enzymes and microorganism that help us in its digestion.
PARAPOLITICOS milk consumption after infancy also isn’t natural.
Surprisingly "Lactose Intolerance" is not an allergy, but an enzyme deficiency that makes it difficult to break down the sugar found in milk (lactose). Milk protein allergy is a real problem though-particularly in infants and toddlers.
@@parapoliticos52
Aaand what is your excuse for milk protein allergy, which has also been mentioned? Curious. I mean I assume you have an excuse lol
When she says eating “animal food” I literally think she’s eating Purina
Sarah Shae lol
I laughed so hard I teared up
If she were it'd be the healthiest diet she's ever been on.
She would def do that if Purina pays her...
Don’t make me laugh my mom is near me lol
Are we not gonna talk about her manipulation of perspective on the before and after photos? She looks the same just tried to appear smaller further away from the camera. She seems to be struggling with self image which is awful and I hope she gets help- HOWEVER- it is dangerous to promote extremes to an impressionable audience.
memetasic good point
I even thought her face got more puffy, don't know if that's the diet or other factors or my imagination but that's what I noticed
The channel My Thoughts Will Probably Offend You has some great examples of how people fake before and after photos. Check out the 30 day vegan challenge video (which is not actually about a 30 day challenge but is actually about how they are often nonsense scams).
Her nail polish is also the exact same in both the before and after close up of the scale...I don't know about you but mine would not stay the same over the course of 30 days
She does that in most of her videos where there’s a before and after shot
Alyse is just diet culture rebranded.
Samantha Shelley unfortunate
Carnivore and paleo sound really logical to me as we are just not made to eat certain foods. Also you actually dont need any rules to lose weight so no point in following a diet like that if you only want weight loss(just maintain calorie deficit). A carnivore/paleo style diet is good for people wirh inflammatory conditions as many of the foods not eaten cause inflammation.
I dont think she ever got over her eating disorder, she just stopped completely starving herself
Tiff Targaryen 🤷🏼♀️
Sadly, that is such a common outcome after someone struggles with an eating disorder. I recovered from my eating disorder by going vegan and although I’m doing much better than I was a year ago, I still have a reason to restrict and it is very comforting. I’ve spoken to some of my friends and my therapist and they mentioned how relatable/common it was for other girls/guys as they slowly begin to transition into a healthier lifestyle.
It’s very obvious that she wants to be perfect and healthy. I’m worried she could become orthorexic.
From anorexia to bulimia...
-sourlemonade- this is actually me 😣
I claim this was done for two reasons:
- she wants to lose weight even tough there is really nothing to lose
- beefy sponsor deal
Johku probably to some extent
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do these people continue to go from one extreme diet to another? where's balance gone??? I just can't
SeiraVonKarma who knows 🤷🏼♀️
SeiraVonKarma I'm not necessarily criticising your comment because we all say it from time to time, but the word 'balance' in the nutrition space has no meaningful use.
What does balance mean to someone who can't consume many plant products, or any other restriction from other foods.
If someone finds a style of eating that seems to work for their individual health and adhearance to sensible eating, does it matter that they cut out large food groups, provided the micro nutrient needs are being met ?
I think it's actually just pivoting between different food obsessions. Many vegans on RUclips come from an eating disorder. A close family member of mine is recovery from anorexia and we always talk about how overwhelmingly close to an ed the obsession with healthy eating and diet etc sounds... It's so hard to know what to do, especially when you're young!
I asked a carnivore channel this very question, and she said they HAVE to swing the other way this radically because they are SO MALNOURISHED from the vegan diet. W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R. lol... I was like oh, ok... yet all we see you eat is steak. So nourishing. SMDH
A Dori Type Situation I think a true Carnivore should be eating nose to tail.
The organs are important as they provide micro nutrient needs not present in high quantities in the muscle meat.
Making a 30hr bone broth out of the bones, ligaments, skin, feet, head etc... is a great way to extract more nutrients.
I'm not sure if a Carnivore eating this way will experience nutrient deficiencies.
Is it a good way to eat long term ?.....I have no idea, nor am I interested in ever eating this way as I enjoy eating plants & animal foods.
It will be interesting to see how these long term Carnivores are going in 10-20 years time.
I don't think she really did it. She didnt even show her everyday meals.
Malaci Ann hopefully not
@@lounakin that's true. She first said that she felt amazing on a vegan diet... Years later she took that back. Then she said that she felt amazing on an omnivore diet... Then in this video challange took that back... Again. Now she says that she feels amazing on a carnivore diet. She will probably take that back either at some point.
@@lounakin she only does things for money. She doesn't really do it or leaves it after a certain amount of time
@@ecor150 yes... money and shock value and views.
EcoR1 Kinda gross to assume she does it for money.. i followed her since she started on youtube and it seems more like a serious psychological thing. She just has a very unhealthy relationship with food and needs actual help. Not people leaving constant hate on her videos.
“It has been shown to relieve symptoms from many illnesses” SHOW YOUR WORK HOW DID YOU COME TO THAT CONCLUSION PLEASE EXPLAIN
Genna Sitero 👍🏼
Look it up it's actually helped alot of people with autoimmune diseases. People who've been in critical pain for years aren't with this diet.
Did she just say "benefits" and "rapid weightloss" in the same sentence?
Of course, so many see people see weight loss as being the same as health.
This reminds me of something: I looked up “stretch marks” on Pinterest and instead of showing me pics of stretch marks it showed me “homemade recipes to get rid of stretch marks”
Julia Freitas yes!!! I hate when that happens when I want to feel empowered by somethinh like my leg hair. Society smh
If someone sat next to you on a bus and said ‘hey I did this thing for 30 days so you should do it forever’, would you do it or would you change seats?
Tyne Baker no I wouldn’t do it 😂
What a great POV. ✌🏼
Tyne Baker change seats
The bus would stink from all her carnivore putrid farts so i would get the hell off that bus.
LOL, If all the person next to me wants to do is talk about her diet i would stay put because she's going to keep the other crazies at bay.
Oh could NOT click on this fast enough. I've always been so fascinated/horrified by this chick's diet.
Kristy Joy totally
Same!!!
Right? I was originally following her for dreadlock videos (she fd them up too, btw), then I stayed for her awful diet and extreme lifestyle choices. It was so sad and funny at the same time. Unsubscribed like a year or two ago though, sad to see she still hasn't learnt one bit.
@@AbbeysKitchen Vitamin c and glucose competes for the same path-way, so cutting out carbs and sugar will reduce your need for vitamin c, that's why the eskimos and maasai people could survive, with good vitamin c levels despite eating only/mostly meat.
I'm actually against the carnivore diet, you can survive doesn't mean its optimal Evolutionary we should also eat fruit we developed tri coloured vision and can taste sweetness unlike dogs and cats.
Some carnivores dieters never eat plants because the idea is that animals don't want to the eaten so they can run whilst plants develop toxins because they can't run away, these common toxins found in plants include phytic acid, oxalates and lectins which can cause gut problems and is linked to autoimmune issues. Although this is true it doesn't mean that all plants are bad most hunter gatherers would eat more than 20 different types of medicinal plants and would know which ones would kill them and which will cure them from illness.
It can get complicated if your northern european during the long cold winter months you would'nt find any fruits or vegetables you can only access fruit within a few months of the year, just eat what works for you, you can eat nightshades like tomatoes whilst in some people would cause there lupus symptoms to flare up. That why the people who follow the carnivore diet are getting such good results I recommend her to add in fruits and vegetable slowly to truly find out what she can tolerate.
Same. She is clearly suffering from an eating disorder. I fear for her long term health and the health of the people she is influencing:(
Alyse can have her eating philosophy through her whole life described very easy "extremely restrictive and lacking a lot of nutrients"
Out of The Hat totally
I’m not sure how a 30 day extreme diet challenge is going to make someone “more open minded”.
Musty Fan I feel ya
it's because she was anti-meat before so it helped her change her mind about eating meat by doing something so extremely different than what she was used to. And yes, as clickbait for more views. If you watch her videos now her normal diet is eating everything and she doesn't restrict.
@Sarah If you honestly believe going on a carnivore diet is what is necessary to stop being “anti-meat”, that’s pretty sad. I think your definition of open mindedness is a bit skewed.
@@SarahEsmaeWolfe she DOES restrict, she follows keto.
@Myth Tree You’re a psychologist, not a neurologist, physiologist, or literally any other profession that deals with what you’ve mentioned. And most importantly, there’s absolutely no evidence that a carnivore diet would cure any of those things. Maybe just try a balanced diet.
Yes THANKYOU for your third point- ‘disjointed relationship to her body and food’. Alyse so clearly has an unhealthy relationship with food, she has a constant obsession with restricting her food and manipulating her body. These food ‘challenges’ aren’t a challenge for her, they are a socially acceptable way for her to fuel her eating disorder. A true challenge for her would be to eat intuitively, balanced and WITHOUT restriction. I hope she gets some professional help before she wastes her whole life obsessing over her diet.
Kobi Hatsy me too
Notice how her before and after, the after is farther away making her look more small.
you genius!
She’s a scam artist and nothing more.
Rainy Midnight 🤷🏼♀️
a “charlatan”. we had that as a vocabulary word and i can finally use it 💀💀💀
I wonder if part of the “mental clarity” some reported with IF, carnivore, keto, etc diets is coming from the relief/comfort those of us with ED tendencies get from heavily restricting our diets.
JT Brooks perhaps
Well I got mental clarity changing my diet. But I also quit drinking everyday because of it. So who knows?
Ketosis can lead to mental clarity and improvement in brain health, especially for people with neurological disorders including epilepsy and brain injuries.
Or it's just ketosis. Personally, I don't find ketosis all that pleasant, it screws up your electrolytes if you are in ketosis long enough.
Coffee and meat but great digestion? 😂 OKAY. I drink coffee everyday and if I dont balance with fibre correctly I will full on have diarrhea and I'm sure I'm NOT alone on this one.
Katlyn Aguilar lol
I don't have that problem. Maybe, because you eat a lot of carbs?🤷♀️
@@evenstar04 coffee is a stimulant and a diuretic, so yeah it can clean you out. However, not everyone is sensitive to coffee. Not everyone respond the same way.
Katlyn Aguilar c. er
Girl that does not happen to me 😳
I've heard some people believe she didn't actually do it and just took the money. It won't be the first or last time a RUclipsr promotes something unhealthy or something they haven't actually done. I can't decide if she really did it or what.
Trekkifulshay that would be horrific
She definitely didnt do it shes si flaky and selfish. Loveable on yhe surface
Trekkifulshay yeah because she never actually showed herself eating the dirty and a lot of the clips were from older videos
and because she only lost 2lbs lol... I don't believe it for a minute. The depletion of muscle glycogen would be more than 2lbs. Even though she is a small person.
I sincerely hope she didnt honestly
'Ethically' sourced meat is a big lol
Alexandra Lewis anything to make them feel better about their crappy decisions 😂
Personally, I would argue that hunting is probably the most ethical of options, with buying from a good local farm being a close second. Not everyone can thrive on a vegetarian or vegan diet, so making the best choices you can is important.
Exactly, ethical meat may be more ethical for animals then factory farming, but a HUGE part of the reason eating an excessive amount of animal products is unethical is not because of what it does to animals but what it does to the environment. I try to eat a fairly low animal product diet, but I do eat meat and even I can say that eating meat every day, or every meal is not ethical
Leah Sauter totally agree. My best friend was vegan for a long time, and tried every b12 supplement out there, but just had really poor absorption with all of them (she’s anemic). Her doctor told her she CAN’T be vegan or vegetarian - she has to eat a small amount of red meat two times a week (because she can only handle so much at one time). Not everyone can do veganism or vegetarianism. I’m trying to be mostly vegan, but when I’m out, it’s just easier to not have everyone order different food for me. I live in china so we eat family style, and it seems more wasteful to have them order a dish made for tons of people that I won’t be able to finish on my own. We should definitely reduce meat consumption where possible, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to not be entirely vegetarian.
There is nothing ethical about meat. Period. If someone doesn’t want to die it doesn’t matter if they’re farmed in a factory or grass fed on Joe’s farm. I mean... eat meat if ya want and if you feel like it’s a healthier option for you but stop sugar coating it by saying it’s ethical.
Yet when she ate vegan she said that her digestion was good and her poop smelt less... I mean I found that super strange to mention but makes you wonder why she’s suddenly ok with the complete opposite and claiming her digestion is now amazing. Let’s face it, she doesn’t actually know what good digestion or good health should feel like or look like.
The lumen in all my arteries has been reduced by like 20mm just by watching this
Kazoo Gal 😂
Lolololololol 😂
Bullet-proof coffee - yet another waste of time and money...
zencat55 👍🏼
Not when you make it yourself...
zencat55 and so bad for your health as well
Actually a lot of Centenarian populations including those in "blue zones" drink bulletproof Coffee or Green Teas, though their overall diet includes a lot more fresh Vegetation and local farm fresh foods with significantly less sugar and saturated fat than the standard American diet.
@Kari Nora I am quite sure that in some Himalayan villages is a thing. I read back then on "La Cucina Italiana" a super important magazine about food and diet here in Italy
she just has an eating disorder and switching to any ‘fad’ diet she thinks will make her the leanest; veganism isn’t a fad but her highly-restrictive diet concealed under veganism is extremely destructive
What's next?
An all mushroom diet? Ice age diet? Pre- out of Africa diet?
Unfortunately it's dry fasting where people believe that drinking water is bad for your kidneys 😭
Big bang diet
We already have paleo diet so kinda like ice age diet
Hopefully balanced healthy eating....
Fad diets are glamorized and then people quit because they don't feel well...
If they pay her, she'll do it!
The sentence when she said ‘eating mostly animals’ actually made me so sad, coming from someone who was once all for the animals 😭😠
Lucy Martin she was never for animals. That is bs. She is for trend and ED’s
She was for money
Gotta move on vegan
Eating animals is natural, but then again so is eating fruits and veggies
She never did it for the animals. She did it for “health”
Thank you for doing this. So fascinating! Especially since her explanation of this diet is easy to believe for someone who does not know a lot about this subject..
Daniëlla 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Next time : « I only eat purple food for a month »
Vince Vince lol
If she can make money out of it.
Even that would probably be more varied and healthy than this weird "carnivore" binge, I can think of a bunch of purple things in every food group that would keep me going for the month
Alyse never followed a vegan lifestyle. Remember when she was raw? I saw a video once where she only ate crackers and avocados in a day. Everything she has done has been so extreme.
Jane Z totally
Just because she did it badly doesn't mean her diet wasn't vegan / raw vegan.
Highly suspect she didn't really do the diet at all. Highly suspect she was never vegan either.
Rachel Right maybe!
Highly suspect that she is anorexic/bulimic and will "do" whatever diet for the money.
you know that girl is lying when she said her digestion is even better than when she was vegan. her "challenges" are a joke. I'm sorry to say this in a blunt way but she needs to get a life. Or another job...
She did that challenge for the big money. That's it
Natasha Lapierre unfortunate
There's no way liquid is in your cup the way you whip that thing 😂
Molly Ryan 😂
hahaha I was coming here to comment this same thing. I was cracking up!
@@AbbeysKitchen That also looks like a mug you got from a Loblaws company. I am pretty sure I got my friend the same one.
I totally understand why you like holding it bc it gives you something to do with your hands and it’s a cute mug but now I’m really curious if it’s empty imma take your laugh emoji as a yes. Really glad i found your channel I’m vegan and you seem very educated on all aspect of food and don’t seem biased or rude
your hair looks really lovely Abbey
Kx thank you!
You are so professional. I like how you point out the dangers and inconsistencies of this diet without personality putting down Elise, or any of the peoples diets you review. Great content, that’s clearly evidence based, and educational.
currently binging your videos! Thank you for speaking about nutrition so gently and with kindness. You have no idea how much this helps! Subscribed!
Really appreciate how you consider cost in your videos. Also, I’ve had issues with food in the past and I find your intuitive eating, positive approach so reassuring! It’s been the best way for me to pull myself out of disorder eating
chose to watch this video instead of giving “raw alignment “ revenue by watching her video. no way in hell im supporting her. thanks for doing this video
Emily Gonzalez 👍🏼
A review of her “what i eat in a day” of when she was vegan would be very nice!
Danique Cramer okay!
There’s so much miss information on food and diet, I’m really happy I find your channel! I’m a young adult and have overcome eating disorders in my youth but still struggle to find reliable information. I appreciate you!
I love how your sponsored my ritual! I’ve been wanting to try it, but I was worried about if it was actually a good supplement. Hearing you supporting them makes me feel more confident in trying them myself!
Juniper Lilac ❤️🙏🏼
You should review pickuplimes! They have been such a lifesaver since switching to plant based!
Annika Frost I love her!
Annika Frost on my list
Price issue aside, factory farming is necessary to respond to the current demand. You can’t be against factory farming and promote a carnivore diet. There would be literally no way to have everyone on a carnivore diet and have it all be grass fed, organic, etc.
Charlie R 👍🏼
Charlie R I guess you’ve never heard of regenerative agriculture. You might want to look up Allan Savory and the Savory Institute.
As an (8years) recovered eating disorder patient and a specialized dietitian from the Netherlands, I'm so happy that you exist! Not specific this video, but your whole channel. Thank you for beïng here and sharing your educated thoughts!
Marloes Biegel thank you!!
Where did her morals go tho??
Un Known 🤷🏼♀️
She ate it 😂
Aimée Goudreau-Côté LMAO
that’s all i’m thinking 🤔
Imagine the smell of this diet. In any way possible. 😭
I feel like these people actually smell different.
Unsolicited Opinions perhaps!

Honestly I struggled for a while to see the purpose of this channel Abby. I didn’t get the whole judging others but lately I really get it. I have felt that some content from youtubers have felt off to me but I haven’t been able to sort out why and then I found your observation on the nutrition and I really appreciate your knowledge and kindness. You are a great barometer of wholesome perspective in all these fads and strong opinions of “right & wrong”. This content really have me reflecting on balance and long term health. A big thing for me is contemplating on food freedom and mental health. Thank you Abby 💛 (English is my 2nd language and I hope I don’t come across as rude, all this is said from a place of love)
As someone who used to watch her many years ago and then stopped, it is so disappointing and sad to see these extremes; hope she's ok...
I watched Freelee’s review of Alyse’s carnivore video and actually enjoyed it! I usually avoid watching her because of her drama, but this one response video honestly just came off as a thoughtful critique to me. Alyse’s video is probably nothing more than an ad - it’s likely not even real.
Danika Destini Key 👍🏼
Same! I think it was the first video of hers I liked, lol. It was really factual and not too drama-filled.
I'm really glad you didn't rip her a new one. She seems very lost and self absorbed. I hope she can find purpose outside of sensationalizing aspect of diet culture
Sarah King thanks!
@@FABIOof119 veganism is the least self absorbed diet lol do you even hear yourself
@@FABIOof119 please do your research on the subject, then we can have a civil discussion. Everything you said is wrong, and I don't have to argue with you, a quick Google search will do the trick.

@@FABIOof119 I'm not vegan. I don't have to be vegan to see that you're full of non-sense. You'll learn as you get older, though. :)
I was kinda where she is at when i was severely eating disordered and exercise addicted. I lived on one salad without dressing and one chicken breast a day, while going to the gym 3-4 times/week for 3h each.
Of course i felt "light" and "clear". I was barely eating, and i never got the chance to feel full and heavy after a meal (which can be a nice feeling). I thought i was being "healthy", according to my mother's "low carb diet" self hell books. When i couldn't afford to go the gym anymore, i gained back A LOT of weight. But i also felt a lot more "content"...? Not in a psychological sense, because i was flipping out over gaining weight, but my body felt more content.
Today I'm about 10kg heavier but i eat what I want, i don't weigh myself anymore, i take walks with my dog and go to a martial arts gym when i have time and energy. I eat unhealthy things. I work out less than i maybe should. But I've come to truly feel at home in my body, and IDENTIFY with my body, for the first time since i started counting calories when I was 9(!) years old.
Any form of restrictive eating CAN lead to an eating disorder and health problems, if you aren't very, very careful. If you have to restrict because of allergies or illness, ALWAYS check with an actual doctor to make sure it isn't getting out of hand. Be especially careful if you already struggle with mental illness like depression or personality disorders (bpd in my case).
A skinny body with "abs" is not worth ruining your (mental) health over. No matter what any influencer says.
I love that you mention indigenous diets! So important for context and acknowledgement
As someone with a history of seizures and who used to take epilepsy meds for nearly 10 years, absolutely can confirm: never felt better in my entire life than when on a keto diet (which I tried when not on meds any more). My focus was razor sharp constantly, never had better quality sleep, overall super high energy levels. I now alternate moderately low carb, keto, and "normal" mediterranean style diet because keto requires too much planning for my busy schedule, is expensive and I really don't want to eat a lot of animal product for all the ethical and environmental reasons. But I can't deny how much worse I feel when my carbs are up. And I eat a pretty good quality diet at any carb level, so it's not like the junk food makes me feel bad when eating more carbs. It's honestly a miracle how much my cognition improves when I minimise carbs.
Iva Čukić thanks for sharing! Medical nutrition therapy for epilepsy is definitely different compared to using it for the general population
@@AbbeysKitchen Thanks Abbey, love your channel! Thanks for bringing some sense into online nutrition!
Fabio119 healthy animals and local farms mean nothing. And ANIMAL agriculture is proven to be worse
Fabio119 nit what the evidence says.
Fabio119 tearing down forests to have farms for beef, which isn’t natural in North America. Killing billions of small animals is dubious and even so, there’s a hierarchy of sentience.
Abby, I just want to tell you how much of a positive impact you have had on my mental health. I had stopped watching your videos for a while due to simply being busy, but after I've started back up again, I remembered how important your presence here on RUclips has been for me. It is so easy to get caught up in the diet-culture of today since it seems to be everywhere. I know that, at least for me, it has been difficult to find popular influencers who talk openly about nutrition on the internet while also having the proper credentials to do so. I have struggled with unhealthy eating habits for so long, but when I discovered your account, it became refreshingly easy to drop them. The way you talk about food/ debunk unhealthy beliefs about eating is extremely important.
This woman's personal negative approach to the girl who did the challenge is so overwhelming that the content that she performs suffers from that bias big time. Almost everything she says is pointed against the girl rather than analyzing the matter with due consideration. It's like as if the goal is just to prove her wrong.
well the girl doing the challenge should be proven wrong, because she has many supporters that will believe what she says. (which could be harmful because of the misleading information and disordered eating habits she promotes and encourages)
Eating out on carnivore is super easy, just order meat or fish. That’s all.
Dietician Reviews series is my fave at the moment!

"Elimination diets aren't meant to be permanent."
*sobs in lactose intolerant*
I would just like to say that I had so many problems with my diet before I tried carnivore. After I transitioned to it not only my weight came to normal, I got so much energy and generally feel never better, especially mentally considering that I don't even have any cravings for junk food. It healed me so much in just a couple of months and of course I will continue with it. Now, I don't ever recommend it to others because I know that it sounds completely crazy and I know it's not for everyone. I just wish that people wouldn't judge this so harshly, especially those who never tried it and never had to deal with certain issues. It saved me in so many ways.
Thank you for sharing! love to listen to your perspective of things 🤗
Caroline Livino thanks!
As a person that can't eat meat dairy or eggs without...digestive issues, I have considered Ritual vitamins. However, in every nutrition course I've taken we were taught that you need intrinsic factor which is why lozenges or gummies are best. Also that b12 doesn't do well in the processing required to make multis. Any input would be awesome, Abbey.
all meat interventional diets are actually used sometimes also there’s an n=84 metabolic ward study that demonstrated 100% remission of severe constipation with the complete removal of fiber.
Don’t have to worry about vitamin c. It competes with glucose in the body. So, when that is no longer present with the carnivore diet (yes vitamin c is in meat) “c” becomes a lot more potent in the body...therefore, scurvy won’t happen...especially if you aren’t a pirate drinking loads of alcohol which in turn translate to sugar in the body which would compete for “c” from the carnivore diet.
Yes! Its amazing how people that eat carnivore for years don't actually get scurvy. Dr. Ken Baker, Kelly Hogan, Dr. Ken Berry to name a few...
Thanks for mentioning vitamin c!
That eyeroll at the “ABS” part
Dana Tromp Meesters 😂
There were some good points here but really wished you'd maybe looked into the therapeutic role of this diet. So many people, myself included, have seen some improvements in chronic autoimmune conditions when eating a carnivore diet. I totally agree though that it can be a restrictive way of eating and not even that enjoyable unless you completely love the taste of meat day in day out. I don't do this all the time as I miss the meals my family consume but then I do relapse in my symptoms which all come back. I've heard that studies are being done now on the carnivore diet which will be released some time in the future and I'm curious to see what they show when meat consumption is studied outside of the confounding factor of a standard Western diet full of processed foods.
22mononoke thanks for sharing your experience
@@AbbeysKitchen Your welcome Abbey! Just hope it gives people a different perspective to consider regarding this diet x
22mononoke, thank you so much for writing this and I 100% agree! I myself do not follow a carnivore diet but I've seen it do wonders for people with a wide variety of health conditions such as yours. Recently, I have been following a low carb/no sugar diet that is rich in eggs, fish, grassfed beef, and antibiotic free/free range chicken. My skin is amazing - collagen and omega 3's do wonders for the body!!! Glad you found a way of eating that supports your health and wellness!
@@corrinmonroe3854 Thank you! I'm grateful I've found a method I can utilise that can help these symptoms and so glad that you've found something that helps you too. Chronic pain and fatigue are seriously not nice!
When you eat your body's natural diet, it will begin to heal itself. Our bodies are made of animal protein, fats and cholesterol. Our digestive system is not made to handle large amounts of plants, we have a hard time extracting nutrients from plants because they are protected by indigestible fiber that sits and ferments in the gut and causes gas and bloating. Plants don't want to be eaten. They've developed chemical and physical means to prevent them from being eaten. There are so many ex vegans who feel better after adding animal products back into their diet. I encourage people to do their own research without any preset notions. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you
I kept sing scurvy from the SpongeBob episode with P!no even before you mentioned it lol 😂 but I wasn't sure if I should comment it until you said something
Jane Justice Doe lol
Fiber feeds the good but also the bad bacteria. As the majority of people has unbalanced gut flora, eliminating fiber is a must if you want to restore your microbiome. Once more you are wrong. Good bacteria thrives on animal fiber, which is present in marrow bone, tissues and ligaments of bones so beef stock or broth has everything our body needs to thrive
Just wanted to say that I'd been having a bad eating day (and bad eating week, have put on a few kgs lately in anorexia recovery and it just all got a little too much and I'd been having a small relapse) and just got home from school hungry and I was going to ignore my hunger but then I remembered you and your videos and snacked on as many cookies as I wanted for my before dinner snack! Recently discovered your channel and have been binging your videos, and as someone from the ed community I can confidently say you're one of the very few dietitians and overall health/nutrition focused youtubers I can watch that don't have me devolve into a more anorexic state, and, if anything, you and your channel have the exact opposite effect. Keep up the good work!!
yomzu I’m sorry you’re having a rough day ❤️
I have never met a nutritionist who knows about nutrition.
johnny p clearly you’ve met the wrong ones (anyone can call themselves a nutritionist...not regulated 👍🏼)
And now you've watched another one.
@@VSS1 I don't think Abbey understood what I was getting at. The information she regurgitates is the common dogma. Funny thing is that Alyse is giving carnivore props based off of her experience. And like all the other nutritionists out there Abbey just goes with the same cookie cutter directions for us to listen to.
@@AbbeysKitchen You should take the time to talk to more people who've been eating this way for an extended period of time. Or, give it a try for 30 days yourself so you can see how you really feel about it. Sometimes the best way to become educated is not through what people tell you, it is by what you yourself experience.
I have been following the carnivore diet for 7 months and I feel amazing. All of my arthritis from wear and tear in the military went away. In 2020, we (nutritionist, doctors, scientist) still do not know how we need to eat to thrive. I suggest that you give it a try and see if you feel amazing also.
How long did it take for your arthritis to go away?
I have been eating a carnivore diet for over a year now. I am 33 years old and am in the best shape of my life. I wake up every morning with so much energy and don’t need caffeine to keep me alert and focused during the day. My skin is so clear and never have to worry about break outs, my hair is healthier then ever, and I have managed to get control over my PCOS which has been an issue for me for quite some time.
I feel like diet is unique to everyone and it’s important to find what works for you as an individual.
I just wanted to note that many people on the Carnivore diet also follow OMAD, Intermittent Fasting or incorporate longer fasts each week (mainly because they don't have as much hunger as a diet utilizing carbs as their fuel source) so they aren't eating as much per day as you are estimating. Another fact is that many people don't eat 3 lbs of meat a day even if they aren't. The fat and protein in the meal will satiate you much longer than a carb based diet and so many people end up eating 1.5 lbs - 2 lbs per day, especially if they are not trying to build muscle. I have seen many people who have documented that their appetite is sometimes minimal and sometimes larger so the estimate is not really a fair representation of the diet.

Apparently holding a cup when discussing make you look more relaxed and so more confident. Nice trick.
Love these videos!! Do you think you could do a video on low FODMAP diets and the pros and cons of an elimination diet sometime in the future?
Erika MacKenzie yep!
This is totally off topic, but I just wanted to say that you look amazing 😊 and I love your videos, they’re helping me get through quarantine with my favourite topic, nutrition 😊
Do the medditerraian diet it was the top diet three years in a row, any time I mention it no one knows what I’m talking about people need to know. It’s the only diet with science behind it
Anastasia krisman 👍🏼👍🏼
The only diet with science behind it? Mmmmm 🤔
My husband’s Cardiologist recommends the Mediterranean diet as well. It is a balanced diet, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, olive oil, fish.....
Yes!!!
Abbey Sharp yes please do a video! It was recommended to me and my mother in law.
No such thing as "ethically sourced" meat.
While I respect this view, and as a vegetarian obviously ascribe to it myself, there is definitely degrees of ethics in meat production. Reality dictates that most people are not going to become vegan (and telling them about ethics is not going to change that fact), so if people can be convinced to eat less, but higher quality, meat, produced in a way where the animal, while killed, was at least not literally tortured in the lead up, this is a win for animals and a win for reduced suffering. We have to let people move within the boundaries they can manage for themselves, and celebrate success even when it isn't 100% perfect.
@@knz730 Even if an animal is not tortured prior to death, they still end up murdered for a sensory pleasure and did not want to die. As long as there are victims there are no "degrees of ethics".
@@knz730 Thank for you respecting my views but if you think there are different degrees of ethics when it comes to slaughtering an innocent being, then this conversation is done. A life without being "literally tortured" does not justify unnecessary death.
Watch more Unnatural Vegan. There is.
@@junipercat6202 I agree that not being tortured doesn't justify unnecessary death, but expecting people to pretend that killing something is the same scale of bad as torturing it and then killing it is ridiculous. Of course there are degrees in ethics
Everyone always explains why this is a bad idea for some people, but nobody ever talks about why it so drastically WORKED for others. Mikhaila Peterson for example.
i was on carnivore for 2 years and my health had never been better i reversed type 2 diabetes and went from nearly 23 stone down to 18 st once i came off it i put all my weight back on to 21 stone diabetes out of control i am back on it now and have dropped a stone and feel so much better just like when i was previously on the carnivore way of eating
What about the fact that the brain mainly uses glucose for energy? I feel like a ketogenic/carnivore diet would have the opposite effect then of mental clarity?
Through gluconeogenesis, the body converts proteins into glucose. This and other processes in the body supply the body with glucose for the brain and other parts of the body. Keeping the body in the constant state of low or no carbs makes the body adapt over time and becomes efficient with this way of eating. They call it being fat adapted as opposed to sugar dependent or sugar burning.
I've did the Ketogenic diet for most of 2 and a half years and there really is a high level of mental clarity because of the Ketones. I've also used a Ketone supplement containing BHB, beta hydroxybutyrate and that also has an affect on mental clarity in addition to fuel for working out.
I switched to the Carnivore diet because there's some veggies that I get a bad reaction from and also giving me digestive issues. I'm using it as an elimination diet and will slowly introduce foods back in to see what is giving me the bad reactions. What's crazy is I'm only on day 8 and it feels like I was on Keto with the veggies but better. No reactions, no bloating and I still get the times of mental clarity and laser focus. All with zero carbs.
@@CrazyRaiderRad I agree! Having gone carnivore has helped me in a number of ways. It is far from making me a perfect human specimen, but I function so much better than I had been all my adult life.
Abbey's advice is sound for those without autoimmune issues, generally good health and no GI distress. For the rest of us, we have to just ride out others' derision, disgust and misinformation.
Its actually cheaper to source your meat from a farmer directly you can feed your family for around 1500 a year for a full butchered grassfed organic beef
Vesi brooker 👍🏼
I love this channel because as a professional dietitian here educates us , I really don’t like people who thinks they know stuff and Post on it and mislead people, very frustrating.
I wish there had been more people like you around when I was younger (like counsellors in school, visible people, etc.) I feel like I would have grown up healthier and with a less disordered mindset. Thank you for trying to help and educate people x
