The problem is that they only ever consider anorexia when talking about disordered eating. For me as a binge eater and purger, counting calories and following food rules helps massively
THISSSSSS. Everytime I try to go off tracking for a few days I start to binge. And I'm not eating a crazy restrictive diet- I eat candy, pasta, sandwiches... but my brain struggles to determine when I'm full if I'm not paying attention to it
@@kenziesunshinee925 100% ! I could eat and eat pasta and never feel full.
Same. Structured eating, tracking, and sticking to a schedule is what helps me the most. Bulimia is seemingly ignored in most of the conversations.
@@mistyblue9610that’s because anorexics are more attention seeking than those who are bulimic. Mainly because there’s a stigma towards bulimics which instills shame and disgust by society because how they waste food and such, and anorexics get more sympathy.
Most ED dieticians will put you on a strict plan at the beginning of your recovery. They won't count calories and i dont think they should. They will make you eat certain amount of exchanges/servings of type of food so you get a balanced meal.
The whole point of avoiding unhealthy foods is that healthy food is filling. I can eat 1600 calories a day from Wendy’s, but I’ll be more hungry and thirsty by the end of the day than if I had egg whites, oatmeal, and salad. This is like saying the sky is blue.
That's because there's no nutritional value in most junk foods, you can live off of it but your health will start to suffer, and your organs too
Anti diet Dieticians also don't tend to have any experience with binging.
They also completely neglect the point that their degree gives them access to a lot more nutritional information than the average person. The vast majority of people do not have even a base level of information.
The idea of moderation has also gotten way more difficult the last decade. A sweet treat was once understood to be around 500 calories. But these days we have singular milk shakes and cookies that are 1000+ calories and you have to jump through hoops to even find the nutrition label.
A Twinkie was once considered one of the most unhealthy things you could buy but now its not uncommon to see something with 3x as much calories and sugar. There's just so many things that you can't moderate. You can't eat a 1000 calorie cookie in moderation. The moderated version is still very unhealthy
right the only way to eat in moderation and still have foods i ate at my most unhealthy is to literally not be able to eat anything else to accommodate that one meal, not even to lose weight, to just not relapse and swing back on the pendulum
@@uncomfortablecucumb exactly! You used to be able to have a cheat meal or a cheat day. Now if you want anything take out or grocery you have to basically go OMAD for the day
Anti-Diet dieticians also ignore that when someone has disregulated hunger/satiety signals due to YEARS of overeating, they can’t just “follow their body’s cues.” Because their body is going to always tell them to eat more than they should to lose weight.
But then if they intentionally try to “be hungry” knowing they need to so they can lose weight, if they’re not tracking, they could end up UNDERCONSUMING food and eating unhealthily little, setting up a binge-restrict cycle. So tracking helps many people get into a HEALTHY DEFICIT and lose at an appropriate rate, while still being able to eat some of the foods they enjoy.
I immediately swipe when I see any Dietician, Nutritionist, etc start by saying something like, "3 foods you should never eat..."
Never is such a permanent word, especially when as our bodies change, so can our tolerance and preference for occasionally having something that they'd consider a "never" food!
As a dietician myself "never" is so unnecessary 😭
@@juliii_g 🙌🙌🙌
I’ve never seen a dietitian online say that tbh. And as a dietitian myself, I never say that either.
@@deeka123 Very grateful you don't say that, because for me I don't find it beneficial. Maybe it can be helpful for others though.
But the way I see dieticians and nutritionists online mention this is like I stated above; something like "The Top 4 Foods You Should Avoid at All Costs", and a lot times they will add that you should avoid those foods to "heal gut health" or lose fat more efficiently. And many times, it's the ones that label themselves 'Anti Diet Dieticians'. There's an example of the woman on the thumbnail saying it in this video. Again, I know this may be helpful for some people, just not my preference.
Also some of them think any kind of restriction on your desires is an ED. Unless you have a medical condition, even if you're a vegetarian you supposedly have an ED. Even if you avoids bacon despite loving the flavour because you have a pet pig you have an ED. That's just so so weird to me
It reminds me of how anxiety has been so overused to the point people conflate the feeling of anxiety vs actual anxiety disorder. They dont understand that the severity to which it negatively impacts your life is a HUGE diagnostic factor.
This is what concerns me the amost. I limit my fatty meats, in part because of my family health history and in part I grew up eating leaner meats because of said health problems. The health issue in question is not life threatening (normally) but very discomfortable. So far I have nor had any issues but I eat to avoid them.
I tried the anti diet/ intuitive eating thing. I gained 20 pounds. The thing is, these people insist that if you're eating too much its because you have an unhealthy relationship with food, you have a binge eating disorder bc you feel guilty for eating "bad foods," and if you eat intuitively you will be fine.
But I don't have an unhealthy relationship with food. I don't binge, I don't like feeling too full. I was raised to eat healthy but to still enjoy a delicious meal from time to time bc food is tasty. My problem is that cooking is hard, and a healthy home cooked meal will *never* taste as good as fast food. I wasn't binging, I was just eating calorie dense meals every single day bc they're delicious.
Everything is ok I'm moderation, but these dietitians don't teach moderation. They say "eat whatever you want and heal your relationship with food and then you'll be skinny like me." But have you literally ever met anyone who has it all together to the point where they can do that? Bc I haven't. They don't exist. Everyone has things they struggle with, even if they're one of the lucky bastards that doesn't suffer from mental illness. And your diet is always tied to how you feel emotionally. In this day and age where food is built to be addictive, most people have to restrict in some way.
Amen.
A key part of the anti diet movement is letting go of the pursuit of intentional weight loss. It's building in habits that support physical, emotional health without that pursuit or obsession on weight. The thing that I really dislike is 99 percent of anti diet dietitians on social media are naturally thin, white, conventionally attractive women...who know absolutely nothing about what it's like to be fat in this world. And that it gets extreme and rigid and "culty" rather than being person centred and focused on body autonomy.
I used to have a binge eating disorder and my relationship with food was messed up for almost 4 years. Last year I decided to change my habits so I would stop binge eating. I started to eat breakfast and stopped restricting my calories during the day, which in turn reduced the cravings at night. I tracked my calories so I had a better understanding of what I was eating. After a year of counting calories, I can finally say that I feel confident enough to stop tracking them. My relationship with food is great and I have actually gained weight in muscle during this period of time. I’ve never been happier with my body!
Congrats! That's amazing! 🎉
That's great! ❤ I too find that restricting my foods makes my BED worse. It's a struggle sometimes but soemthing I am actively working on.
This makes me so happy to read ❤
That's great 😊 working on it myself
Emotional eating is so hard to deal with😢.
I keep popcorn at home, air popped popcorn is something I can overeat on without doing too much damage.
Why do these things have to all have sweeping blanket statements? Why can’t people just be like “I’m gonna quit planned diets for a while and try freestyling weight loss”?
I like that! There are a ton of skinny boys in my gymn now that summer has started who are freestyling their lifting and diets... My girlfriend's best friend freestyles her bank account. Her fiance has threatened to call of the wedding because of it.😂
@@Antigone10 🤣Yeah, maybe you all need to not listen to my fat broke ass!
I went online to check my health insurance claims and Anthem BCBS showed me an article about making sure to include my favorite foods if I'm trying to lose weight. If the people who PAY MY MEDICAL BILLS are ok with me having an imperfect diet, then I'm good with it. 🤷 But calories definitely count. F these "influencers."
There are bad foods, though.
Ultraprocessed foods are addictive by design.
People are not bad for eating them, but the foods themselves and the corporations that make them are OBJECTIVELY bad.
It is ignorant to say "there are no good or bad foods" whilst living in a modern food landscape.
100% agree, some food is just objectively bad. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and eating it anyway. It's like they're trying to hack their own thinking by changing the labelling because they have a history of ED, but most people don't. Telling random people they should see ultra processed food in a neutral light is messed up when the companies making those are spending billions trying to get you addicted to them. Not very neutral imho.
Absolutely. The 80/20 guideline is a good place to start but UPF are so addictive by design, some people might need to cut them out in order to control them
@Chelseabee55 I know I had to and Ii don't even miss those "foods" now.
Bad as in "detrimental for our health" to be clearly since food has no morality ( like many fat positive advocates often claim )
💯
I love your channel and influnce bro. Dropped 75 lbs over the last seven months and running my first marathon in 2 weeks!

@@money50863 Big W indeed
Congrats!! 75 lbs in 7 months is insaneeee 👏
Hell yeah!
*influence
most “bad foods” aren’t technically even foods and they are most certainly bad nutritionally, if not morally
“You can remove shame about some of the foods you eat and still lose weight.”
Is this 2009 again? This is like elementary level one of any weight loss research. Calories and bloating from water weight. Macros. Do people just have no memory of anything?
Not me getting a Noom ad right after Regina said she was giving up and getting cheese fries 😭
I really love @nutritionbykylie who’s an actual dietician and gives very balanced and realistic advice. She’s very sensitive about not triggering EDs and about disabilities/time restraints that many people have, WHILE still giving great advice. Her whole mantra is about adding rather than subtracting. So rather than “I can’t eat this, it’s bad for me” it’s “what can I add to this to make it a more nutritionally well rounded meal and make it more satisfying to my body?” It’s so fantastic. Her advice has helped me SO MUCH as someone who needs to lose weight to manage my PCOS, but has a history of ED and also has other factors that make it difficult to cook every single meal etc.
Me too!!! Her advice has helped me curb my binge/restrict cycle. I had an "all or nothing" attitude that would make me super strict with myself, but then go completely overboard the second I slipped up. Her more relaxed approach has helped me form much better habits.
Yes I love her!! Even just teaching myself to add broccoli or Brussels sprouts or just SOMETHING nutritionally dense to a meal, it feels like a world of difference mentally, physically, and for satiety
As someone who counts calories, and has lost 30 pounds so far, I can say it helps. I still eat what I want, I just eat less.
I'm a diabetic and I eat very low carb. It's not a diet, it's a way of eating I will do for the rest of my life.
Yes, I'm one. I eat less of my food and take Ozempic. Helps me eat less a lot.
Same. I have to do it.
It's funny hearing reactions from the non-chronically online mainstream people. They sound so level headed and full of common sense cuz they haven't been tainted by TikTok logic
Refreshing
if a thin person is saying you can eat whatever you want, you know they don’t believe it because they’re clearly not living it themselves
There are good and bad foods. I don't mean that morally, I mean from a nutritional standpoint. But I've found that argument gets me nowhere with anti-diet adherents who will continue to insist it's a moral judgment and keep hammering on junk food being "morally neutral." Big Food must freaking love this new dynamic.
By good vs bad in terms of food, people really just mean healthy vs unhealthy, I don't know why they twist it into anything different.
Tysm for this! I've lost 22lbs by not restricting so hard (like I did the first time and gained it all back)! I want my loss to last, so I'm taking it day by day and making adjustments along the way
Yess you go girl!! You‘re doing great! I‘m on the same health journey and so far since december 2023 I‘ve lost 15lbs. Even though I was never severely overweight, I now feel more comfortable in my body. I feel like you just need to change your perspective because for me it‘s a lifestyle change and I don‘t focus that much on loosing weight rather more on improving my eating habits and exercising/walking more.
I did try following my hunger and fullness cues and eating what I wanted last summer. I lost about 20lbs, I was 294lbs and I ended up around 274lbs and maintained that. But losing anymore weight that way seemed unlikely. At least for me. I’ve since gotten on medication and I’m currently about 60lbs down from that, 80lbs over all and I don’t think I would have been able to do that just following my own internal cues. I do, however, think that I could maintain my weight that way.
I hate those videos too. I’m a former anore*ic (RUclips will delete my comment if I spell it out!) so of course I need to be careful about too many “food rules” however, like many people in recovery, I’m also prone to binging if I don’t make an effort to maintain boundaries with certain foods. Balance is a wonderful and necessary thing that so many don’t seem to appreciate or understand. Moderation is not starvation!
It's so wild that people will be totally okay with you managing your finances, your alcohol consumption, your work-life-balance, but woe-is-thee if you even mention that you also manage your food intake. Very few people would try to talk you into overspending, but overeating is apparently totally fine.
@@juliajs1752 so true! We demonize excess in almost every other scenario but now we’re supposed to celebrate it where food intake is concerned? Make it make sense
I recently found out I've had food allergies my entire life. Literally since elementary school i was put on diets and when i said they made me feel worse or made me GAIN weight nobody believed me. They all basically said i must not be sticking to the diet and was cheating/sneaking food. Turns out three of my main food allergies are chicken, eggs, and wheat.....which are a MAJOR part of most diet plans....i finally dropped those and the other foods from my diet and i feel better than i ever have and have started losing more weight with no extra effort than i was already putting in [i was already VERY active which always made me confused about why i couldn't drop the weight]. I'm sure there would be TONS of negative comments about how i eat now, but i literally used to throw up EVERY DAY and no longer do, so i couldn't care less how they feel.
What I don’t like is when these people say you have disordered eating if you weigh your food or track your calories. It’s untrue. I would have not lost 91 pounds and would not still be losing weight if I didn’t track my calories and weight my food.
Exactly! Being aware of what you’re putting into your body and having a goal you’re trying to stick to is not disordered eating. Now, if it controls your every thought or your goal is significantly lower than what your body needs to function; that’s a different story. People wanting to be mindful about what they’re consuming isn’t a bad thing.
So many dietitians are literally paid by companies that are owned by fast food and processed food companies. It’s kind of wild how they don’t disclose who they sponsored by before giving life-changing advice to their audience. I think it’s super super unethical and unfortunately very prevalent. As a counselor myself, I could not imagine trying to pull something like this, so deceptive and gross.medical professionals should never sell their morals for sponsorship
If you are anti diet, you are not much of a dietician. What is the point of your job then? Tell people that all food is equal, nutritional content and calories don't exist, so there is no point in monitoring what you consume? Last time I checked in America you are much more likely to get obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart attack, etc. than a restrictive ED just from slightly minding what you eat
It must be the easiest degree to get then, day 1: “all food is good and equal, eat whatever you want” 😂
I hate how much content i get recommended that encourages people to stop paying attention to nutrition and calories. As an obese person who struggles with moderation and telling myself no sometimes, its not helpful at all lol
I see Obese to beast and I click. Its simple.
I recently had to give my cats a diet. Just adding more excersize and using food puzzles wasn't enough. So with help from our vet we calculated the average amount of calories my cats ate as overweight and where they need to be, and gradually decreased the amount. They each lost about 3 lbs and are now healthy weight. Does that mean I have ED by proxy lol?
Btw despite cats now being on maintenance and not on diet. I still give devide portion of their food in a food puzzle, just because they love having some of the food in their puzzle toy. Sometimes they wouldn't eat until I took some food from their bowl, put it in the toy. And only after toy challenge was defeated they would eat from their bowl. I diagnosed them with Orange cat and friend single braincell disorder
😂 Omg this has me rolling! I adore my single-brain-celled cat but I am worried about his weight. I try to reduce his portions but he’s an outdoor cat and there are always neighbors leaving dry food out for all the outdoor cats! I literally put an AirTag on his collar so I can find the latest buffet and ask the people to stop putting it out 😂
@@kristin7762 I wouldn't worry about it unless your vet says something (like mine did...) some cat are just big. One of my cats is 7.6 kg after diet and he's not obese and not even overweight.
I do recommend food puzzles even if your cat is healthy weight and doesn't lack enrichment because firstly it's fun for the cat (cat version of game achievements) and secondly it's hilarious to watch! One of my cats is very very dumb and I had to gradually teach him to do puzzles by putting a snack under a see-through plastic cup and an empty toilet paper roll full of treats to teach him to just use his freak$$@##ing paw! All the while spouse and other cat were looking from the side thinking "how can he be so stupid?!?". Other cats even demonstrated how to get the treats and left them for first cat until that single brain celled cat finally got it lol. It's worth doing solely for the hilarity
@@msbroomstick1 🤣
Looking great my dude!
There are so many people who think their way is the right way, and unfortunately a lot of people won't do their own research in order to come to the simple conclusion that basic thermodynamics is where it's at for weight loss.
On this note, people are also very stubborn and refuse to realize theres more than one way to solve a problem and get the same answer.
2:46: ''And we need to find a Happy Meal'' yep I agree :D
Wow, I’m shocked that the news put out such a great video! It really spoke to me. I have bulimia but especially struggle with binge eating, and I think a lot of anti diet influencers frame their advice as one size fits all-which is absolutely not the case for me, lol.
When I got out of recovery (I’ve had every ED, but this time it was mostly bulimia/binge eating) I went into support groups and there were a few that were very adamant about never being able to lose weight in recovery. I remember being in a binge eating support group, and one person shared about their realization that they would never be able to lose weight and be recovered, and that they had to let go of the idea of weight loss altogether. Everyone in the group agreed and shared the same sentiment, including the group moderator (a clinician). I remember leaving the group feeling hopeless, and also disagreeing. I do agree you should be in recovery for a certain amount of time and be very mindful with how you’re going about weight loss. Once I decided it was safe enough for me and was approved by my ED therapist, I started counting calories. I’ve lost 23 pounds in 4 months and counting calories has actually been incredibly HELPFUL for my recovery. It’s giving me space to eat whatever I want, just in moderation. For the first time in my life I feel like I can actually enjoy food, because I’m actually taking the time to think about it, to learn about nutrition and to savor s smaller portion. I stopped doing cheat days because it was so triggering and I would end up eating stuff I didn’t need and feeling sick. If anything, counting calories has taught me more about intuitive eating than a treatment center and support groups ever could.
I recently had to start tracking again because I was going back to old habits of bigger portions, less filling foods, and gaining weight. I’ve struggled with weight for a while & I think pushing certain philosophies when it comes to nutrition & dieting can become problematic. We’re human, we only hear what we want to hear & then take it to the extremes. No food is bad but processed foods are so far from natural & shouldn’t be “pushed” to a consumer who blindly follows what anyone says if they claim to be an expert.
You are correct - You need to “earn that freedom”. Dave Ramsey says about getting out of debt: “You need to live like no one else so that you can live like no one else”. This also applies to a weight loss journey - Like it or not you’re gonna have to say NO a lot but the rewards will be paramount.
Common sense + empathy + entertaining content = obese to beast
I'm at a point where I don't want to only eat 800kcal anymore and constantly lack energy but I also don't trust myself to not count calories at all. It's quite difficult to find a proper balance. Especially with so many different people giving opposing opinions on what is actually 'healthy dieting'.
Body weight is only one component of food…as someone with a low bmi and fairly low body weight, turning 60 this year and moderately to heavily active with both strength training and cardio, I’m completely metabolic w autoimmune problems, eye problems, moderate a1c borderline type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, anxiety, hyper pigmentation, exercise induced hypertension, post menopause and alopecia… I eat okay now but not so great for years because I never really gained much weight. so you know nothing is bad for you until it is and that happens exponentially as we age. You can eat and be thin and still get sick later in life from cumulative food choices along the way. I think it’s a good habit to be mindful of what your body may or may not do later in life as a result of nutrition or lack of. Our highly processed American diets aren’t always going to make us obese but they can make us sick. I’m learning that now :( salt, sugar, bad oils, chemicals…ugh
I remember when food labels weren’t even a thing, so at least we have that info now! Cocaine 80s was total diet culture and everything was fat free and carbs and then heroin 90s was just starvation…idk… seems silly nobody can get food culture right w all the media we have access to. It’s all sort of hyperbole and cash 💰 grabs…
❤ ugh so yeah good luck 🍀 with food journeys… they are complicated.
I go to school for Dietetics, and I saved up enough money to go to The National Food and Nutrition Convention and Expo (FNCE for short) this year. Thousands of dietitians and nutrition experts attend from all over the United States and territories. One of the top names I saw when I looked at the sponsor list were Cargill, General Mills, Pepsi-Co, and so on. I would say I am surprised but...
Tracking calories, both in and out, along with macros has been an absolute ~life changer~ for me.
Before that when I was eyeballing, free-spooning and getting suckered by Health Halos, I was pulling my hair out cos I couldn't lose weight. THEN I saw why. Tracking enabled me to crack the case!
It also provides the structure to allow me to fit in a cheat meal a few times a year.
And you're so right: being in tune with your hunger (vs cravings) and satiety is a ~skill~. Until that skill is honed, plus if you're a newbie with an impaired palate; temporary abstinence from foods that "awaken The Snakken" is just easier in the beginning.
But tracking calories and macros, et al, is no more "disordered" than checking your bank balance.
I’ve lost 30 lbs in 2 1/2 months just from counting my calories and working out. I’ve eaten sweets and some other stuff. I learned it’s not every day is what makes the difference and I don’t even work out a lot. 40 minutes 4-5 times a week.
All of these dietitians are American as the BDA in the UK does not allow this on social media, you would be stripped of your registration. You cannot take sponsorship from food brands as you're no longer unbiased. One of the main reasons I cannot stand Abbey Sharp is the amount of sponsors she has. I've just finished my first year of my dietetic degree, 3 years to go 😁💪🏼
Makes sense to me! I wish it was like that here in the U.S. Best of luck in getting your degree completed!
I just listened to a podcast about “big food” co-opting the anti-diet movement and one of the big focuses was dietitians posting sponsored content without being clear that it was sponsored and/or who sponsored it. I wish the US had that same rule. It’s very problematic.
We are often unaware at how many calories we are eating - but also how many we are burning.
At home I try and watch what I eat and I still sometimes gain a bit of weight if I am going through a stressful time, simply because I don’t move much aka have an office job/ work from home. On holidays I never watch what I eat and just order whatever. I rarely gain weight - sometimes even loose some. But that is not due to healthier food, but because I just move my body sooooo much more when travelling.
My friend said she gained 5lbs in 2 months because she simply walked less in her new job. She didn’t change anything in her diet or workout routine. It’s the “hidden” exercise that can make a huge difference and that we often forget….
I’m not much younger than you, but I feel like I was never pressured to be super skinny. Even as a teenage girl, I don’t remember ever feeling pressured to lose weight. Given I was not a very overweight girl, but I remember doing a BMI test as a freshman in high school and the coach doing it emphasizing that this is not indicative of your health, or even if you truly are obese (I was a three sport athlete so my muscle mass was relatively high). I did not watch a lot of media, though, so I’m sure that those women were pressured to be really thin, but I found that as somebody who did not go on social media or watch a lot of fashion TV I never felt like I needed to be rail thin. I definitely did not want to be “fat”, but the threshold for what was fat definitely was not super crazy low.
But it is kind of funny to me that people even have this criticism of the media causing eating disorders when obesity is continually going up and obesity rates among youth are also increasing. Like yeah, maybe there is a lot of media pressure to be thin, but it’s clearly not working…
The more I see and hear people talking about diet culture, the more it seems to be becoming a scapegoat to excuse people from thinking for themselves. It comes back to media literacy, IMO. If you're fat and desperate to lose weight and willing to try anything, you need to do what's best for you and slow down and take the time to figure out what's actually going to help you achieve your goals. Listening to anything and everything you hear on social media is foolish and I don't think just blaming diet culture will help. People need to take what power they can into their hands and go out and get the knowledge or help they're looking for, not scroll their phones and wait for someone else to spoonfeed them the solution.
I talked to one of those dietitians once on Instagram, she told me, someone with binge eating disorder, that I should eat whatever I wanted, until I didn't crave it anymore, and I should give up on losing weight, cause trying to lose weight only makes the binging worse, I'm glad I didn't listen to her
I just don’t understand why we can’t all just live our lives how we want to? I love low waisted jeans but if everyone is gonna get offended when I wear them that kind of sucks. I’ve got BED, some years I’m bigger some years I’m smaller, sometimes I’m fit asf. I just don’t give a fuck about anyones option anymore especially when it’s such a pointless opinion.
The 90s messed up millennial body image so bad 😞 I do appreciate how much more diversity in body type and shape is normalized now vs then.
🙌🙌🙌
The problem with the junk food sponsorships isn't necessarily whether the dieticians actually believe what they're saying regardless...the companies don't care what you believe! They just want as many eyeballs on their products as possible, and they don't care how unethical this method is.
Plus: One part about the whole "we *had* to eat junk food or our entire family would *literally* starf to deaf while traveling to houston!" and similar is that: Yes, you *can* do that.
*However* That requires you to *still* stick to the diet. Had a burger and fries? Cool. That is *all* you can eat today. Period.
"But I'm still hungry!", doesn't matter. You choose the burger and fries. And you can do that. But: You still can't exceed your daily intake.
You had 4 donuts? Yeah well, that's all you can have today then.
Seems to me that most of these anti-diet dietitians have struggled with over restriction themselves and this colors their perspective (cough, Abby sharp, cough). They can’t really understand those of us that need to restrict because we struggle with overeating. I will say though that I have found removing shame and guilt for eating certain foods has helped me get over the all or nothing mentality.
Having tracked calories pretty diligently for over a year now the last thing I'd call my lifestyle is disordered. Though a lot more goes into in then simply tracking food, from resistance training to consistency with steps and guidelines but not hard rules about how I live my life in the long term and less focus on the short term because life happens.
People love to hear good news about their bad habits.
This type of advice is terrible. What’s even worse it a lot of these food freedom people say it’s ok to gain weight in the beginning because your body will settle at a weight. Didn’t work for me
doesn’t work for anyone
Maintaining a 100lb weight loss, there are foods I don’t eat. At this point I can take a bite of something and immediately tell if it’s hyper-palatable. I usually don’t eat it- not due to guilt- just knowing it’s literally engineered to be addictive. It’s just not worth it if I have to fight my body’s chemical response.
im an idiot, here I've been counting calories when I could have just eaten whatever I wanted and lost weight???
The gossip sites and magazines would call celebs fat than when they lost weight they looked sick. So now the mags and sites are telling them to eat a cheeseburger and making fun of how skinny they are. As someone who lived through the early 2000s low cut jeans.. I hope to god they stay away. You’d have to strategically bend down to avoid flashing your ass crack to the world.
The word diet in and of itself just means the way you eat. “Anti-diet” just means that you want to continue to have a shitty diet. You know you need to reduce calories, and get more healthy nutrients so you have the strength to exercise as needed by the human body. And as shown over the last several decades, that just isn’t for everyone 😢
Tracking calories just keeps me accountable. If I realize that I'm going to go over my calories if I eat whatever it is the I'm making a conscious decision about it. And if I don't lose weight said week after eating to maintenence or alittle over then I'm not in denial and I'm aware of what happened. When I tried to listen to some dietitian on RUclips about not tracking and intuitive eating it didn't work for me. I didn't lose any weight and Gain some back. I track and eat what I want.
When i hear someone say macros. Right away i think oh they must be protein gym bros.
What's wrong with that? 🤔
@@kreskin0079 It's a starvation diet that's why lol
@@josemama1 bro, what. Counting your macros is a starvation diet? No.
Or they have a chronic illness and keeping track of carbs, fiber, protein and fat is very helpful 🥰
Starvation means uhm... Not eating enough. Not making sure you get what you need 😊
I remember watching Tucker Carlson once and he brought up how on NPR, there were dieticians who were triggered by diet-culture. I was stumped.
I eat intuitively these days but i had to track every single bite for more than two years. And learn portions. And learn how to eat properly and sanely. I had to no longer be addicted to sugar.
I can't do intuitive eating because I want A LOT of food and I can eat for at least 3 people. This would never work for me. I have to follow some kind of meal plan or otherwise I'm just gonna binge on everything
If I don’t monitor my caloric intake most days, I will start to get back to a place where I think it doesn’t matter and then eventually I’ll gain weight again. So for some of us, calories absolutely matter and we don’t have a relationship with food that allows us to eat intuitively and not gain weight. Because my intuition still tells me to eat emotionally and to eat past the point of fullness which is something I am still working to heal. But I am very much against trying to convince the masses that we should just be eating whatever the hell we want and however much we want. Clearly that’s not working.
I think anti-diet dieticians have their place in the wellness community the same way I think holistic nutritionists do, even if I don't agree with all of their approaches. The issue comes with the fact that social media is free for everyone in that you're probably going to see their content even if it's not directed at you. People should be able to scroll by if it's not for them, but they don't. Everyone in my nutrition program had mostly different approaches to food and diet, it was difficult but it also just shed a light on how everyone has different needs. From my experience, anti-diet dieticians just want their prospective clients to get out of the guilt and shame around food which many people, whether they've experienced disordered eating or not, have probably experienced. When your head is not clouded by this self-judgement it's easier to actually find things that work for you.
You can't cut certain foods out of your diet b/c you need it. Just like sugar and carbs, you need that for energy.
Glycogen and gluconeogenesis.
I come from an anti-diet background and I do think it's ok to stop eating certain foods for a while if you feel like that food is taking up too much space in your diet. I personally wouldn't cut a whole macro group out though. But jelly beans are not the same as milk sugars (lactose), fruits, starches, legumes, etc
anti diet means anti FAD diet. Its simple. People deserve food freedom. But it’s about a balance. You don’t need to cut out carbs or sugar to lose weight. There’s a basic principle that people forget about. And THAT is why there are anti-diet dietitians.
There needs to be a better understanding of eating for survival… what food is going to give me energy, going to fill out the vitamins that are needed to function. I empathize because I understand a lot of people have mental and emotional attachments to food… going off of wants - and less of what is needed.
I want to ask for advice on my current situation, I lost weight about 2 years ago and went from around 35% bf down to 15% or so. I have maintained this until now and I have to say that in the last 2 years my lifr has been miserable. I was maintaining around 2500-3000cals a day yet I was constantly starving and exhausted. I was eating a lot of protein, mostly whole foods and sleeping well, thos it really didn't help. I had initially lost the weight slowly over 6months or so but things never got easier. In the last month I got a breaking point I have been eating like crap, I'm probably back to 25% bodyfat or so, but I am mentally cheked out on dieting. I tried different strategies like Intermitting fasting and carnivore but they don't help. I feel like it's a loose-loose situation. Either I keep forcing myself to diet and live a miserable life or I give up on it and hate the way I look.
I tried to find a "balance" but honestly that was even worse, I tried eating around 3500-4000cals a day but that way I'm still pretty hungry troughout the and I don't even look lean, so I still have to put up with the hunger but I don't even get the satisfaction of looking good.
Don't really know what to do now because I feel like I'm at a dead end
It sounds Ike you may want to reach out to a legit registered dietician to analyze what you’ve tried so far and help come up with a plan that doesn’t make you miserable. A good one will keep your goals and daily routines in mind while planning with you. Exercise routine will likely play a role too. You didn’t mention what yours currently is or was and that plays a role too in how you feel / how many calories you can consume daily without gaining.
So many variables, but it comes down to individuals and their goal, yes it's possible to lose weight and continue eating junk food, but good luck with your health on the long term, the person will have to train hard all his live to try to counter the harmful effects of this type of food, or there's the approach of eliminating the addiction to this type of junk and taking a healthier option with real food, no need to deprive yourself just eating the right food.
"Evidence based" does not mean the truth.
ive lost over 200 pounds and yes, count calories. AND I have BED. NO FOOD IS OFF LIMITS. I just eat a small amount of them. I have something chocolate every day. I eat out. I have a drink on occasion. MODERATION IS KEY.
I honestly think that a lot of these specialty diets like keto, fruititatian, paleo,ect look at what they remove from the diet all if not most processed foods .... is it the specialty diet or processed food with added sugar, salt, preservatives ect that make them hyper palitable and inflammation. We started having more and more issues when the middle area of the grocery store ballooned, so I wonder if that with the availability of food is what has caused the obesity.
Changing the food you eat aka your diet will make differences. Just eating less doesn't work for everyone.
And counting calories for sure can become disordered ... I mean for years I weighed every morsel of food that went in my mouth and I did not loose weight ... it made me stress and think about food more than I ever do regularly.
I wonder if it's just the combo of high fat/high carb, because people seem to have success on both HCLF and LCHF diets, and a lot of foods people demonize as being high carb are actually also high fat.
@@xtinkerbellax3 I don't know but there is definately something... I mean my great grandfather was a barrel chested smithy, but by the time I could remember him he was in his 90s and didn't do much but sit around reminisce and garden and feed his birds. If he built his own sandwich he would put butter on the slices of bread, because they had homemade bread at home so butter kept the sandwich contents from making the bread soggy. He never did get fat. I find it interesting.
As a Gamer Macros mean something else to me.... But they can still be tasty.
I also remember the days of thigh gaps and getting called fat for having a butt, and it's so interesting to see objectively overweight people get called a healthy weight.
I think that calorie counting is good to gage what you are actually putting in your body. Seeing if I normally eat 3,500 calories a day and then seeing the difference after lowering the calories is great. I do think that calorie counting can become an obsession for many people tho.
After years and years I've finally gotten to a point where I know restricting a food group causes my BED to be worse. Telling myself I can't have bread or sugar leads to bad results.
I'm current just doing an easy calorie deficit. No restrictions just trying to be more mindful of my daily things. Adding little workouts when I have time. And working on the mental part of my BED. Slowly I am getting better even if my results seem a bit slower for my size. But In the end I'm getting better and better everyday.
Do people genuinely think that good/bad food refers to morality somehow? I keep seeing people mention that but I’ve always thought they were joking or just using hyperbole. It obviously refers to the nutritional content of the food?
Thank you, John (AKA “Dimi Lovato)!!! 😉 🤗
"FACTS." ❤❤❤❤
It should be called the anti -FAD - diet movement.
We all have a diet, even if its not a conscious one, and its varies depending on what your goal is , or the lifestyle you have.
Restricting carbs will cause you to binge eat in the future. Check out the Minnesota starvation experiment.
Idk if I'm missing something, but all of the people sponsored by General Mills looked like they were showing plain Cheerios. Those aren't a sugary snack. There is only about 2g of sugar per serving.
The video they showed had cocoa puffs, cookie crisp, and trix. Cheerios just happened to be the one they poured into the bowl, probably for that reason.
My full button is broken and I'm not kidding.☹️
1:44 We need to get back to this. Idc what people say. This is why Asia has a low obesity rate. They call you out when you gain weight and it works.
So I think that in the beginning, you need parameters so you can develop healthy eating habits and learn about yourself along the way. Understanding your food triggers and your actual hunger cues takes time and it’s not a linear journey. At some point, hopefully, you’ve learned enough about yourself so you CAN eat anything but you DON’T eat everything all the time.
Not to discourage anyone, but sometimes the professionals you meet with 1:1 are pretty steeped in this sort of mentality too. I learned recently, after years of research and trial and error that pre-made meal plans work best for me personally, especially if someone else has calculated calories and macros for me. I don't want to know the numbers, just what i'm supposed to prep and eat. I tried to explain this to my new nutritionist, that what I needed from her was a new meal plan that fit my goals that used her nutrition expertise.
Instead I got 35 minutes of lecture about intuitive eating, even after I already had explained how my brain and stress habits were not capable yet of fully eating intuitively. It really felt like a "I'm right, you're wrong, I'm smart, you're dumb" moment from her.
Bruh. I am still so angry about that. Luckily for me, I had put in the work enough to know she was full of it. I worry for folks who don't understand themselves and how things work well enough yet to know when this is almost magical-thinking bullshit that could hurt them a lot.
To be clear, the ideal is intuitive eating, but not everyone is very close to being able to eat intuitively. THere is a ton to unravel in some folks before you can even start talking about intuitive eating, and there is no quick solution. All the techniques out there are tools in a tool box, and you just have to put in the work to figure out which one/s work best for you and your situation and when.
Yea, intuitive eating is the END goal, it's not something that's going to work when introduced right away esp when someone is having issues around food intake.
People do realize there are eating disorders caused by overeating and bingeing right and a lot of us developed these issues from trauma not stepping on a damn scale. I’m tired of people acting like we don’t exist because science is inconvenient to them

Bro!
I don't like making fun of obese people or shaming anyone but I love the 80s culture. Yes, at a certain time, Brithny was too fat to look good dancing. She knew it herself. I don't like it when my BMI went up to 24. I didn't like how I moved, I didn't like that my thighs were too thick and the dancing movement didn't look good. Same as I wouldn't want to look like MTG although she is supposed to be a CrossFit trainer. I keep my BMI in the 19-20 range and I feel the best at this range. I assume, that, for guys, this range could be higher because they have more muscles and they don't need to look too slim.
But I am not sure about anti-diet. Definitely, we have to count calories. It doesn't mean we have to stop eating candies or cakes, but we need to know how many calories we can consume and how much protein, minerals, and vitamins should be in those calories. That most likely eliminates the cakes and most likely shifts the proportion between carbohydrates and protein in favor of protein. Again, it doesn't mean no cakes, maybe a small piece, and more veggies like broccoli. It should not be a diet it should be a lifestyle. You should train yourself to enjoy broccoli and hate cakes. It is possible. I did it :).
For those of us who are triggered to overeat, we have to get away from those foods for a good long while. Sort of like how a junky needs to quit using heroin. Letting a junky use just a little heroin is a recipe for disaster.
Anti-diet dietitians are directed to people battling with Ed's as an0r3xia or bul¡mi@, and people from the HAES movement.
As a person that suffered from eating disorders (both restrictive and binging) throughout the years, even in recovery, you do need some rules to regulate the way you eat in any of the extremes of the spectrum and even as a recovered person, is important to be mindful and aware of what you eat to make sure your body is nourished and also that you're not relying on food as comfort, not because food is good or bad, but because everyone needs a balance.
I used to find anti-diet dietitians reliable and as someone to look up to, but now I believe they're falling in unethical practices.
I have to lose 10 kg. I am 17 years old ...and I like to think about balance to lose wheight in 3 years I lost 13 kg...not too much but it is progress
I def don’t agree with this movement. Weight-loss should be more about health goals and less about vanity. If health is on the top of a persons priority list, junk food should be at the bottom. Lost over 100 pounds myself. Knowing what you’re genetically predisposed to and basing a healthy diet around prevention is the best medicine in my opinion. Diets/lifestyles a very individualized for a good reason. That advice from this dietitian can be very harmful.
