Note: SO SORRY GUYS for the crappy sound. I know it sucks! UGH. We tried so hard to fix it but we had a new person in the studio while my usual videographer was away and clearly, something went wrong.
Hi everyone, welcome to Abbey's Kitchen! In another edition of What I Eat in A Day UA-camr Reviews, we will be taking a look at controversial MUKBANGER and cheat day enthusiast Livia Adams from the UA-cam Channel Always Hungry.
TW: Today’s videos are particularly triggering for any of my followers who are currently or have previously struggled with disordered eating.
A reminder that everything in this video is for entertainment purposes only and you should always seek the advice of a health care provider for your unique case.

I only speak for myself and have nothing against Livia at all. That being said at the height of my ED I would watch her videos to validate that what I was doing wasn’t unhealthy (it was) I would also watch cheat day videos obsessively because I was malnourished and food was all I thought about. Her calorie counting, low carb food and obsessiveness is very triggering for me personally. Thanks for another great video Abbey!
Tatiana Ringsby yeess I agree! I would watch these cheat day videos religiously when I was super starved! And now I cannot stand them....I‘ve realized that this behaviour is still disordered
LifeofJassi me too
Basically same
same
Yess!!! This🙏❤️ i remember i used to binge watch her videos when i was super malnourished. Now it seems surreal, absurd, kinda cringey that i was watching someone else just eat and eat and eat.... i had to unfollow her because she triggered me too...i just hope she gets better and sees health differently than binge/ristrict😔😔
"If you have time to make a UA-cam video about it, you probably have time to put something in your mouth".
Best quote 😂
😊
I agree. That was the line that made me like the video.
Would love to see you review the show supersized vs super skinny
I'll have a look!
Abbey Sharp thanks!! There is plenty of episodes on youtube you might need to prepare yourself lol
Yaaaaaaas please
Love this idea
YES PLEASE
To me doesn't make any sense eating like that. If you wanna do a cheat day, just eat a burguer for your dinner and then a donut. You don't need to eat an unnatural amount of food.
Yea it makes no sense to me. I'd feel sick & wouldn't enjoy it. I eat really healthy but if I want a piece of mom's fried chicken I'll just eat it - I wouldn't stuff myself for a full day. I think people who do that are either just trying to get views on UA-cam or maybe have a binge eating disorder
When you have a binge eating disorder you eat 1 piece and you feel like you can't stop even when you want to puke
Just to add to what other people have already said, her binge-eating habits have also become her, probably, main source of income. I think that's also what is clouding her own judgement
@@notverysur3rightnow145 yes, I have this problem, and I couldn't stop eating even my stomach hurts.
yeah the chugging 5 glasses of white chocolate milk to start the day is the most disordered part to me. like if you want to be lax about your calories for a day fine I feel u girl but she was just forcing herself to chug all that for the numbers. and like Abby said 9 donuts ? if they 9th donut is still enjoyable to eat that's scary 👀 2 donuts have me feeling like I need a nap after I can't imagine eating over 3 at a time at the absolute most
I love her, she's so sweet. I used to watch her videos but I had to stop as I've been going through my own recovery. I hate to say but I feel like she hasn't fully recovered from an eating disorder, it just switched around a bit. It makes me so sad to see because I know how much it sucks to be stuck in an eating disorder. I genuinely hope she's okay.
I stopped watching her because it got to be triggering. She sits in the car and eats like....6 donuts at a sitting.
Gina Marie Livia and Nate are bad people. Livia is bulimic and Nate enables her because they are successful youtubers. It’s really evil to lie to their viewers and for her to claim to be a fitness influencer
@@GunGlutton I don't think they are evil people per say, though I do agree that what they do isn't good, I think Livia is just struggling and uses UA-cam as a way to cope. It's a bad thing to do, sure, but she's not a bad person.
The point where she brought a “nutritionist” on to justify her disordered habits and make them seem healthy, and then got him to trash anyone who might have a problem with that as being a “jealous hater,” was the day I stopped seeing her as someone who was misguided but nice. She knows there are young girls watching, and she encourages them to mimic her unhealthy lifestyle for clicks, views, and $. She’s awful.
The farther along I get in my recovery, the more boring a "what I eat" video is to me. This is not a coincidence.
@@sharneemac1014 omg I was obsessed with supersized v superskinny when I was bad in my ED. It was so comforting for some odd reason
@@sharneemac1014 same, all of them!
that’s because food is energy. when your in an anorexic or extremely low body fat state, your mind is screaming for you to eat this the food focus. as you put on some body fat (needed healthy or possible excess body fat) you are reaching homeostasis and your mind isn’t always focused on food, you essentially don’t have extreme cravings or weird food fascinations, it’s not some weird anomaly it’s literally logistically what happens as you escape an anorexic or low body fat state
@@sharneemac1014 I'm weight restored but still have to compulsively watch supersize vs superskinny every night before I go to sleep 😬😬😬 just can't stop!
I am in the same situation!!
I feel like she eats when I was very much still severely disordered. The fact that she does mukbung and cheat day videos, just makes me think her disorder has perhaps just evolved and not really gotten any better.
Emily Antoinette reminds me of like binge eating disorder or something... or binge purge cycle of eating a tonnne and then restricting the next werk
Ya I have an ED right now and her what I eat in a day is similar to how I eat sometimes with protein bars and caffeine instead of actual meals. She also restricts during the week to make up for her cheat days which is just her binging on calories. To me its clear she has an ED still.
@@Sierra-cl9xr I used to watch her and it got to be too triggering. It's more like she's very restrictive then binges. She works out a lot and eats very little then does mukbangs or "cheat days". I don't know if she purges.
Maureen Seel “purging”’ can come in few different forms, like working out more and etc
She’s bulimic and lies about her challenges she purges after every cheat meal! I’m friends with her bf Nate and it’s extremely messed up they lie to their viewers and promote such an unhealthy lifestyle
The fact that she restricts most days then dedicates a day to eat freely is disordered, if she ate like that daily as a way to honor her extreme hunger and fight her disorder it'd be fine.
Isaac Hicks I would definitely agree that eating donuts in itself is not problematic if that serves your body and mind, but doing so only on occasion and Then restricting is a potential issue
Right, if she honored her hunger that way everyday, she probably wouldn’t even have the appetite to eat that much on a “cheat day”. Or feel the need to have a cheat day. She’s obviously still mentally working through her disorder. Hopefully she eventually becomes more balanced and the part of this video at the end shows she slowly is. I love that she is so open about her process
Yes, you should see Rebecca Jane's videos! She had ED and now has a really good relationship with food- always eating what she wants daily and whenever she feels like it with no guilt! It really helped with my previously ED and is not triggering at all
@@martapeixoto8700 pois é!
No, it wouldn’t. 10000 calories is not ok. Binging is a disorder too
I always felt this about Stephanie Buttermore, before she became open about needing to change her relationship with food. She would also do massive cheat days, then claim to “intuitively” eat cauliflower rice and egg whites on other days- ie severely restrict while claiming to have “balance”.
The thing is, viewers like to watch slim women eat excessive amounts of junk food. There are profits to be made 🤷🏾♀️.
if you watch stephanie's videos (pre all-in) you will see that she never restricted herself on normal days, i don't think she had an eating disorder, she just felt pressure to eat 'clean' and look a certain way, but never restricted or punished herself and had quite a balanced normal eating schedule, bar the cheat days
@@seerpou I disagree, only because Stephanie said that she used to have an "insatiable hunger" but wouldn't eat to fullness, which to me would imply she was restricting. That's my take on it
@@seerpou She did restrict pretty strictly, she just never documented it. She posted a few what I eat in a day videos and most of them rounded up to 1800 calories, which is good for most people. But then she admitted in her year long recap that when was competing in body building competitions she tried to hold onto her extremely lean physique longer than needed which I would have to guess would be around 900-1200 calories. And for the amount of weight lifting she did with that, that's dangerously low.
@@JulietteVeronica1201 that "900-1200 calories" is pure speculation hunny. she ate very normally, she just restricted in the sense that she stopped herself from eating 5000 calories a day because she was still hungry
seerpou The reason why I said that range is because in that same video (the year recap one) she said she ate roughly 900 calories for her competition. I didn’t grab it out of thin air. If she needed to eat 5000 calories to feel satiated during her all in process, I guarantee you she didn’t eat normally beforehand.
1,500 calories on average * 6 days + 10,000 is an average of about 2,700 a day. I’d rather “fit” a donut everyday then have 9 in one day and be stuffedddddd
I went through therapy and shit, but your videos really remind me of ED things I still do and don't notice! It feels like I am in active recovery and can continue to get better! Especially eating a lot for dinner after restricting all day. And you never have a negative or judgemental tone which is super healful.
Hayden thank you 🙏🏻 I’m so glad it’s helping
Claire I’m the same and this video I think is helping me get out of denial about my disordered eating, I don’t know if I am yet at the point I am stop yet :(
If you don't already, I highly recommend Alice Olivia on UA-cam. She has really great, informative, personal videos. She's really open and sweet.
Also Lilykoi Hawaii - great playlist, fantastic foods, science, her own story.
That is not pleasure eating. I LOVE to eat and watching that made me ill. That is binging.
MustardSeedish Everyone’s pleasure eating is different and can have different volumes, nothing wrong with that
Well you've obviously never had an eating disorder :) never underestimate the body's capability to eat enormous amounts of food after a certain period of starvation
@@talidadirnu2486 Doesn't mean it isn't binging, though.
Same. One or two donuts, great. Half a dozen or more? Yikes. I'd be sick after all that.
Well there is a huge difference between binging and responding to extreme hunger after a prolonged period of energy deficit. You can watch Tabitha Farrar's video on this topic,she's great :)
As someone currently struggling with an ED, seeing this really helps remind me to not slip back into the disordered mindset. Thank you
So glad it was helpful!
Every time Abby mentions peanut butter on toast. I make it as soon as I can bc she makes it sound so great 😂😅
😊😊
I was brushing my teeth when she said that and I tried to yell, "I love peanut butter on toast!" through the toothbrush. That went about as well as you might expect 😅
@@statistical-cats-sophia Add sliced banana. So yummy. Or honey. My mom used to make these sandwiches for me as a kid. Toasted bread of course!
Cavelle Ardiel ooooh nice recommendation!! I'll try it later today :D
Cavelle Ardiel ooooh nice recommendation!! I'll try it later today :D thanks!
hi dear abby, would you ever do a video on how to handle stress eating or being hungry even after eating a balanced meal(messed up hunger/fullness ques) when you cannot afford to work with a registered dietitian
yes keep watching my intuitiev eating series
Ooo love that idea!
How is this a cheat day? She doesn't seem to be enjoying any of this 'food'.
Judith Russell 🤷🏼♀️
That´s exactly what I thought! :)
It feels almost like a punishment. Like maybe this is a way of punishing herself for having these cravings?
she doesnt enjoy it. shes miserable. She is bulimic and purges after all the cheat meals. Her bf nate makes her do these videos so they can be famous youtubers
This is not one of her cheat days. This is a “normal” eating day for her. Her actual cheat days are insane
Please please please review Sadiya from Pick up limes. Who agrees. Hit the like so the comment will be more noticeable
On the list!
@Ayu Natalia yes she is. And she's vegan that's why I would love to see what's Abbeys take
Yes!!!
Love Sadia and Pick up Limes!! I’m not a vegan, but I really appreciate Sadie’s practical and nonjudgmental approach to food!!
@@AbbeysKitchen that woman is amazing!!
when she poured the "maple" syrup and the white vinegar directly on the lettuce
*shudder*
Can you do a video on NaturallyStephanie? She’s a vegan weight lifter and is pretty awesome!
On the list!
@@AbbeysKitchen can you do a video on yourmomashley
Stephanie is great!
This is a common theme with fitness influencers and was part of a “guide” I used when my orthorexia was at its worst. I would see these really fit and toned people that I wanted to look like and copy their eating patterns: extremely restrictive during the week and basically bingeing junk food on the weekends. Which, personally for me, was not healthy mentally or physically for me. Nothing wrong if this works for some people, but when watching videos like this, especially as a younger girl, it’s easy to be influenced into these habits and can cause serious issues with food down the line.
totally agree
Can you review “damn the diets”??? She has an interesting story and is a huge advocate of the “all in” process
I'll have a look!
@@AbbeysKitchen But careful there, Kayla is really saving some lifes :-D
I think she would really benefit going “all in” like Stephanie Buttermore 😁
Kate Black lots of influencers could probably
Unfortunately not, people should not just binge and eat unhealthy. They should more likely learn about basic nutrition and apply it!
@Sierra Bdawn Exactly...
@@callidus713 you are so lucky to never deal with that.. you seem not to understand the struggle at all.. I don't mean it in a bad way just that I'm jealous
Kate Black I’m not sure she is mentally ready for that.. idk though, I’ve only seen this video of her lol
I've been reading "Brain Over Binge" by Kathryn Hansen and have found it SOO helpful in combating the type of eating patterns displayed in this video.
Make Art Eat Meat I think there’s a work book as well. Have you used that?
That book was the only book that helped me in 15 years of EDs. And I read soooooo many. It's phenomenal if you are someone who needs a more logical approach and not all this deep soul searching to find the childhood origins of your EDs. For me I had to separate the hunt for "why this happened" from the hunt for "how to stop" and that book was perfect for that.
Sarah Clement me too, I found that far more helpful than reliving childhood trauma and trying to connect it to why I was f***ed up over food.
i havent heard of it
After reading your comment this morning I looked up the book. After seeing soooo many glowing reviews, I decided to buy the ebook and her more recent recovery guide. Wish me luck! If this works for me too: thank you so much for your recommendation!
Can you review stephanie macedo please. I think shes eats quite good but she's only 1200 cals restriction. So it would be interesting to have an overview of being in a caloric deficit for so long
I'll have a look!
@@AbbeysKitchen awesome, thanks :)
Who is she?
@@danielacastanozuloaga8531 I watch her too. Stephanie has some great recipes but I will never, and I mean NEVER- mix water into my dressings and condiments to make them "lower calorie" ........ its just wrong
@@hannahaustin272 yes, she has awesome recipies but I think it is too liitle and I totally understand that she is in her journey to lose weight but Im not sure if a long calorie deficit is the way
I used to watch her videos a lot back when I was struggling with orthorexic thoughts and behaviors. It sort of made me feel like I was 'eating' the foods i wouldn't allow myself (wich is kinda weird). After a while I had to stop though, since I realized her behavior wasn't healthy and there was just something about her normal 'what i eat in a day' videos and her cheat days that made me feel uncomfortable and didn't sit right with me.
I wish her all the best ✨
I did that too! It worked for a while but it was really disordered, then I ended up with bulimia and those videos started to trigger BP instead.
When I was losing weight, I ate healthily (balance of fruits and veg, lean protein, and stuff like that), I had Doughnut Thursday to keep myself on track until the end of the week, and then maybe had some extra carbs or a non-fruit dessert on the weekend. If I wanted, I would do “burgers and beers” with a friend one evening during the week instead of a doughnut on Thursday. It ended up being half a burger and a half pint of beer. It worked really well for me! I have ocd, so it was really helpful for me to have a really standard routine for my treats.
Oh man. Every time I watch these challenges I just can’t fathom people being able to eat that much. I used to feel the same about Stephanie Buttermore but I was always such a fan of her I watched anyway. And I was sooo happy when she went “all in” and even happier when you had her on your channel! You’re both two of my fav youtubers. Keep up the great work! I think Livia is a really sweet girl whose probably been through a lot mentally and will eventually find her balance. As always, very well done. Totally agree about the responsibility in these type or videos. 💕
thank you!
I bet she would feel much better and less hungry if she divided her cheat day calories, evenly through the week. Rather than eating 1600 cals per day 6 days per week and 10,000 cals on a cheat day, she could eat 2800 cals per day everyday. The 'balancing' cheat days with restrictive days, is still a very disordered behavior. Her ability to eat so much in one day, suggests that she's still in a state of starvation.
Lily Duke great idea!
Nope cause she definitely puke after the cheat meal
Could you please do a video on Matt Stonie - he really defies biology, physics and chemistry with his eating
I'll have a look!
i wonder how many mukbangers chew food, spit it out off-camera, and edit
Could you please review “Nuttyfoodiefitness”?? That would be SO interesting!!
On the list!
@@nala3055 She also does or did cheat days and what I eat in a days :)
@@nala3055 she is this girl with a super fast blessed metabolism. Check out her YT
@@angimg she doesn't do "chead days" bc she doesn't need to. She always eats whatever she wants and wants to make that clear for her audience
I had to stop watching her as I found her videos sad and triggering - she so clearly still has an eating disorder, it's just a different eating disorder. The cheat days are crazy, no one would be able to eat that much unless they had an eating disorder (binge eating or bulimia). Even during my worst periods of bulimia I couldn't eat more than 4000, and even then I'd feel so horribly uncomfortable and wouldn't be enjoying the food after a certain point, I just felt a compulsion to keep eating with no control. She must restrict & over exercise to counteract the effects of the cheat days (she's really tiny), I doubt the 1400-1600 is something she does daily and even this is too little considering she works out. She seems like such a sweet girl I hope she can fully recover one day.
Hazeydaze22 it’s so hard to know
on one of her older videos she said that during the week she basically only eats salads and low calorie foods and goes to the gym. So yeah, that's a sub type of bulimia I believe, Eat a lot of calories and then restrict for a certain amount of time so she doesn't gain weight or feel guilty
Abbey these videos have brought me so much peace as a woman who works really hard to stay in recovery. There are disordered messages everywhere disguised as “recovery”. Today, you’ve given me peace of mind with eating normal meals and snacks at appropriate times. I think a lot of us need to hear these messages right now. I know it’s been tough for me to not double down on my orthorexic tendencies out of fear. Ironically, that usually leaves me in a state of complete depletion which i know is not good in what I’m trying to prevent (coronavirus).
totally. these are difficult times.
Let Healthy Crazy Cool be your next vegan to review. I already know his diet is balanced and varied but I want to hear aboyt your thoughts on sustainabillity, attitude etc.
On the list!
@@AbbeysKitchen I love HealthyCrazyCool too! I like this video and Stephanie's! It highlights all in vs binging.
And also, about the quantity of food
Fullmetal Alchemist was the greatest anime of all time. Brotherhood was my favorite, but the 2003 version's pretty good
my absolute favorite
This was typical of my eating habits when at the height of binge eating. 😬
Same. And some days I still have to tell myself not to do this. Instead of fretting over consuming as few calories as possible in the morning, it's so much easier to have a filling breakfast and lunch and going from there.
Same here. Watching her eat this way was super uncomfortable and reminiscent of my own eating patterns in the past.
Yeh I am really struggling to see how I can stop this if I am successfully losing weight this way...
I’m currently in the process of training my body to eat enough. So I’m measuring quantities for now. The eventual goal is to be able To trust my body to know what I need, but right now I’m still incapable of feeling satiated from years of binging. I’ll get there. It’s a process.
@@ivylonnen4 thank you, good luck
Erik the Electric seems very similar to Always Hungry with both of them having an anorexic past and partaking in extreme food challenges. Last year, Erik's 100,000 calorie challenge popped up in my recommended over and over again until I eventually watched it. If I remember correctly, his goal was to eat 100,000 calories in 100 hours; it's doesn't seem like an attainable goal without the magic of editing, but he did eat enough to appear pretty unwell. Even though I'm recovered from an ED, seeing him sick was difficult to watch, and it just makes me wonder why eating past making yourself sick is thought of as something healthier than anorexia in some people's minds.
Elouise I’ll look
Erik is a competitive eater and usually donates money to charities as he hits certain goals. He has a few videos up about his struggle with anorexia and how he worked to get better. He did also check himself into a center to go through therapy and help for his ED. 😊 he and his girlfriend have a channel together as well- The Elektrics which is more laid back and shows more of their normal eating!
xilovekayyx He is the biggest faker on the internet. All his famous videos are just heavily edited and fake.
a video on megan mccollum would be cool! she also does cheat days, mukbangs, weightlifting
I'll have a look!
Hey Abbey! Could you do one of these for Nick Dompierre's What I Eat In A Day & Cheat Day?
I'll have a look!
Yes please do this!! Compare his normal day of eating to a cheat day! He also loves donuts 😊
Oh no! I was waiting for this one. I always want to just hug her when I see her videos.
😊
Yeah, her cheat days are really problematic. As for the salad dressing, I’m pretty sure that Livia is from Germany. My mom is German too and she always makes salad dressing that are mostly vinegar with herbs and a pinch of sugar so I don’t find that too weird (not usually much if any oil). I don’t find it weird and I really enjoy salads with vinegar dressing. Just wanted to mention that
Yeah, you're right she is German and we love vinegar dressing😍😍😍😍
She’s German, her boyfriend is American. This cheat day was filmed when she was in the US.
She is German and also living in Germany in a city called Bonn. As far as I know she is in a long-distance relationship with Nate, who is US American. Her mum is Swiss German
Sounds yummmmyyy
I saw her a few times in Germany . But mostly around Köln .
THANK YOU! Thank you for acknowledging that some of us don't always get those cues. My background is likely familiar to you: born overweight, indulged eating in childhood, emotional eating as a teen, food addiction as an adult, then finally atypical binge eating disorder in middle-age. And yes, it's really true, I just did not feel hungry so would eat on the clock. Nor did usually I feel satiated, but would stop before feeling full as being full equates nauseated (due to gastroparesis). So, Abbey, here yet again is an example of why I love your videos. You're so MINDFUL!
React to nuttyfoodiefitness, it would be a good diet review, because many people are confused about her food intake and energy spend
On the list!
This is a really great recommendation, excited for the video!!
I was coming to ask for nuttyfoodiefitness too
@@AbbeysKitchen I need this video!
marian oceanblue hell ya that girl can EAT
Hey Abby, the audio is a bit weird on this one 😘
Marlene Santos I know I mentioned that at the start!
her name is literally "always hungry" lol. That doesnt sound healthy to me
right lol
I really liked that you manage to talk both respectfully and frankly about someone who is clearly struggling with her eating behaviors. Thank you very much for this content!
So glad it was helpful!
Could you please do a video about the relation between food and body temperature ? It will help me solve a lot of my problems related to eating disorders
I'll have a look!
@@AbbeysKitchen thank you so much ! you' re the best
Barely eating during the day and then having a huge dinner (but one that is still rather lite on fats and carbs and nutrients) is CLASSIC eating disorder behavior. Good lord. I hope she gets a wake up call soon and gets some help and support to improve her relationship with food.
i hope she can find some peace in this
When I cook for myself I’ve started to think “ what would Abby do “ my meals are so much more balanced and delicious
The deodorant cap being open is making me lose my mind
Now I see it too
I'd love for you to review Helena Rose or Diana Hime's what I eat in a days ... love what you're doing, thank you for keeping it real!!
I'll have a look!
Will you ever review a man's what I eat in a day? x
Josh Henry I have a bunch coming
Josh Henry// she has in the past
I have been curious about why AlwaysHungry seems unstable but no one criticizes people like her boyfriend or Nick Dompierre who do the same thing.
“I couldn’t eat 9 donuts” yeah... 😬 same 😬 definitely “couldn’t” do that 😂😂
i love donuts but yah, i couldnt right now
As someone who's recovered, I thought it was worth mentioning that after I began eating as much as I wanted, my hunger cues gradually died down. There's still times where I get overly fixated on a particular food (like chips or icecream) so I may overeat them a bit, but after doing so, I find that I no longer have that craving. So if you're also recovering, I encourage you to trust your body and your hunger cues. Don't restrict during the week and binge on the weekends but eat what you want EVERYDAY, and eventually you will eat regularly and intuitively because like Abbey said you won't have that "last supper" mentality.
If you're struggling with binging in recovery like I once did, I also encourage frequent snacks and meals :) For the past 2 years since I've recovered I've had 3 meals (with dessert sometimes depending on my mood) and a snack at 3:30pm and another at 8:30pm. It's kind of become habit at this point and the snacks always vary. Some days I feel like chocolate, other days I actually naturally crave a banana with pb - it's really amazing what your body can do when you listen to it - it knows what's best
Woahhhh, This reminds me soooo much of my past disordered eating, especially regarding everything you say about cheat days... I don’t miss it lol your channel has helped me stay on track with daily balanced nutrition, including “treats foods”. I am so much happier as a person now that food doesn’t rule my life. So, thank you for your videos! I love your channel ❤️
im so glad
When I read ED recovery I thought erectile dysfunction.
Me too.
not quite
Wanted to say I am always really really grateful for your regular, reliable trigger warnings. I appreciate them so much!
H Kristin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Perfect day to watch Abbey Sharp. Who am I kidding, every day is the perfect day.
😊😊
I would also like to mention that there are a lot of cuts in her cheat day videos and I am not sure weather it is for the purpose of the video or she actually doesn’t swallow her food.. I hope she’ll stay safe because she is such a sweetheart
i also hope so
omg I noticed this too! she seems to take a bite and either cut or show the camera the food so her face is blurry
I can’t say this with 100% certainty because I’m not Livia, but she does have a completely uncut cheat day video. I honestly think she makes cuts like that for time. It does take a gazillion years to upload any video longer than 20 min
@@AbbeysKitchen Quite obvious. You hardly ever see her swallow. In her previous videos, she chews, bites, chews, bites again, until her mouth is completely full. No swallow in between bites. Then suddenly she shows the food close-up to the camera (one burger or donut just as many times as she wants to spit out the food), there is an unecessary cut (why would you make a cut in the middle of showing your food close up for 2 seconds???) and tadaaam there's no more food in her mouth. She was called out on this several times before and as a result In her last few vids she does a lot of speeding up instead of the old trick.
I don't usually watch mukbangs, but I had clicked on one from Cheaplazyvegan(who I like and follow) because she was trying a new vegan item, and sadly there was a jumpcut with the napkin going to her mouth after literally every bite. I think so many people eating these large amounts of food aren't really doing so.
The whole post workout thing is debunked already recently. Just eat enough during the day and eat enough protein during the day. That's important. Eating within 30 minutes after a workout doesn't matter, unless maybe you are an Olympian. Most of us are absolutely not an Olympian xD
But....she’s a dietitian
Ma'Rya having credentials of some sort doesn’t exclude you from being wrong and making mistakes in your field of “expertise”
siciliancannoliandanespresso It doesn’t but, it makes it less likely than someone who isn’t.
I would think trying to replenish your body as soon as you can after a workout is pretty important. Especially if you're doing intense workouts and burning a lot of energy...
From personal ED experience, this reminds me a lot of the stage I had to go through post-anorexia. It's commendable she is trying to recover, but when I was at this point in my journey, I was still very much in recovery (even if it didn't feel like it at the time). It felt like I was controlling my food with these rules about eating next to nothing all day and then LOADS at the end of the day, but the food still had control over me. Livia is working her way through her relationship with food and I'm sure she'll get to a more balanced and intuitive place in time, as recovery can be a life long process and requires strength and resilience to get through! Sending lots of love to her and anyone else making their way the confusing journey that is food and our relationship with it xx
100% thanks for sharing
my goal is to have meals that I don't need a "cheat day" from
edit: hahah.. i'm at the tail end of a mild ed recovery and I love what i eat every day!!
You'll get there
@@maja__5047 Thank you maja
The audio was bugging me until I thought of it as an old timey broadcast and got more into it!
FlyingWonderGirl hAhaha I love you
plz do Rebecca Jane
I'll have a look!
Was I the only one who thought the french toast was steak or pork chops until she put powdered sugar on them? 😂
I kind of get the feeling there´s only black and white: restricting or over eating... :-/
thank you for this video! so incredibly informative. can you talk about tips for avoiding binge eating / bored eating while stuck at home during quarantine?
Elana K yep shooting this this week
Thanks for this video, Abbey. I see a lot of myself in this girl, especially in regards to restricting all day and then eating HUGE dinners. That are primarily vegetables. I think a lot of us recovering from EDs think that being able to eat these huge meals are a win; when in reality they are just a seemingly less harmful restrict-and-binge cycle. Your commentary on her habits has reminded me to eat more throughout the day to avoid this beahviour. So thank you again for sharing! And I hope this girl continues to get better. Along with any other viewers who may struggle with this.
Melissa Lilley thank you! Wishing you healing too
I'm glad you're tackling this topic of overeating aswell as undereating. As someone who has struggled with binge eating and over eating in general it felt like you were neglecting that side of disordered eating in relation to the UA-camrs you chose to comment on. But happy to see you branching out. I hope you do more!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
It sounds like her ED behaviors changed from Anorexia nervosa-r (restricting subtype) to EDNOS or Anorexia nervosa-bp(binge-purge subtype) behaviors of restricting, binging, and possible over excersising to compensate the extra calories from binging. Her "cheat days" is a label to try to mask the fact that they are binges. In a way, her disordered behaviors are worse now than when she "had" an ED.
I was waiting for this 🙈
Edit: as I’m done watching , thank you for your analysis, I hope she sees this and rethinks what she’s doing, hope she’ll be better soon
Jules Weng 🙏🏻
You should also review one of Grackle's What I Eat in a Days! She's so fun and intuitive I think you'd love her :)
I'll have a look!
Yes! I absolutely love this girl ♥️
I really enjoy these videos! I’m an RDN, so not only do I appreciate your fight against diet culture, but these videos also help me with how to approach these topics. I get really passionate and fired up about nutrition on social media, so my approach with these topics can be a little overwhelming (I get really sassy), because they upset me. Listening to you speak helps me mellow out and relax, and remember to communicate calmly and clearly, so my message doesn’t get lost in emotion. Lol.
I used to watch her videos while I myself was restricting (1500kcal a day) and lifting heavy at the gym almost daily... Watching her videos somehow made me feel less hungry... Things didn't end so good, as I lost my period for three months. Looking at this now, it really make me realise HOW crazy this way of eating, restricting, binging is... So sorry for her and hope she soon starts her Intuitive eating journey!
oh wow thanks for sharing
Can I ask why you choose to use a natural deodorant? I’m curious because I know you love science-based information, and natural cosmetics aren’t necessarily better for you (as someone with sensitive skin, I steer clear of natural products) and aluminum gets a bad rep. I’m no expert at all, but I love cosmetics and so I’m curious if you have a reason for choosing a natural deodorant. 😊
Thought The same Thing. Natural is not always Best, and it seems Odd for Abby to insinuate this.
moths from neptune that’s the thing, there is no evidence to support that. If you want to learn more @labmuffinbeautyscience made an instagram post all about it
I can't speak for everyone, but I ended up with hidradenitis suppurativa a few years ago (harmless and common, but ow) from using conventional antiperspirant deodorant because it was clogging my sweat glands. Also, some people are just allergic to antiperspirant. Not speaking for Abbey, just providing some insight as to why some people avoid the conventional stuff! ♥️
The Blacktress Diaries Yes, of course! This comment was not meant to shame Abbey in any way, it’s all about personal preference and I’m always interested in peoples reasoning when going the "natural" route. Thanks for sharing yours! 😊
@@The.Caroline you didn't come off as shaming at all! I think it's important to pursue knowledge and ask questions. Stay well!
Trying to impress on someone the reality of their evolved ED is really difficult.
Have a friend who is somewhat recovered but still decided to lose weight while doing hardcore lifting to get rid of that "extra pudge" around the lower stomach...yaknow. where the womb is 😐
Logic doesn't always work on disorders like that no matter how much we wish they would.
I hope people who are in that position do find a way out and forward that isn't more disordered eating.
saw “always hungry” and clicked, bc samesies
also, those costco brand (kirkland) protein bars are the shit
😊
Really now! I need to try them
I want to try them now! Maybe I'll look for them the next time I'm at Costco. I've never seen them in store though, what area are they generally in?
@@alexandriatorres6428 check by the vitamins and other supplements :)
So excited, I like clif bars when I hike but the carbs are literally insane.
I was only ever able to eat like that when I was on a low carb diet (similar to her first day of eating) I craved carbs so much that I’d have a cheat day and way over eat. I wish her the best of luck on her eating journey.
I love your reviews. I like how you say your opinion in a respectful way, and even encouraging people to be kind and respectful with each other, because we are usually in our paths to become our better versions, without the intention to hurt others in the process :D
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I’m very good friends with Livias boyfriend Nate. Livia is a bulimic and purges after all her challenges. It’s extremely fucked up but Nate and Livia only care about becoming big youtubers unfortunately
GunGlutton oh wow 😔
I struggle with bulimia, and there are physical giveaways like chipmunk cheeks (from swollen glands) and bloodshot eyes. Livia doesn’t seem bulimic to me, and I think it’s harmful to spread gossip.
Ta Ran not gossip but fact. Who would know more? Me being good friends with her bf or you and your assumptions
GunGlutton you don’t sound like a ‘good friend’ saying all he cares about is becoming a big UA-camr 🤔. It just doesn’t add up to me 🤷🏾♀️
@@taran2762 its the truth unfortunately
I love that you're not giving a generic professional opinion but that you've deeply researched her channeled and are relaying an educated analysis --
Please talk more about the effect of overeating, it is really helpful for someone strugglimg with BED.
On the list!
I love how you started mentioning that not all people may have hunger and satiety signals. Really appreciate that!
I cannot wrap my head around these challenges or mukbangs.
Jaimee K people watch them
I guess we should make sure we don't watch
Thank you Abbey for this amazing review. It was so nice that you were so kind to Livia, she’s such a sweet soul, and as I suffered myself with disorder eating it really takes a LOT OF time to heal and start to make good decisions for your health. I remember that I didn’t care at all about my insides and the only thing that mattered was the supermodel body. 😔 Can’t say that I still don’t wanna have the perfect body (clearly cause I’m so insecure and I don’t think I worth anything without it), but I want you to know that I watch again and again your videos about intuitive eating and they help me so so much. Thank you so much for all this free information.
Since watching Abbey, am I the only one who makes a plate of food and thinks: I have my grain, protein, veggies, and a healthy fat? lol I love learning on your channel, Abbey.
Jennifer I am soooo glad
Omg! I didn't expect you to react to her but as soon as I saw the video I got really excited to hear what you have to say about her!❤ much love💋
❤️❤️
Cheat days are very much the same as bingeing in my view.. It takes a lot of hard work but I find intuitive eating to be a much better way of eating, at the start it was very unbalanced but almost a year on and I am eating better than I ever have without obsession. I wish more people ate this way and found food freedom. Love your message ! X
Allanah Hickey so glad you’ve found that!
I used to eat like this and since I have been intuitive eating sometimes I think I am eating too much and get restrictive thoughts, but watching this I have realized how far I have come and actually don’t restrict and binge at all anymore, I’m eating “good” and “bad” food everyday, very informative thanks Abbey!
So glad it was helpful!
Hi Abbey! I saw a "what Kelly Rippa"eats in a day" video and would love to know what you think of it. It was a nightmare for me as it reminded me of my very restrictive eating. I love all your videos and Intuitive Eating book--huge help. Thanks!
I'll have a look!
As someone who spent nearly my entire high school and college career with an eating disorder, I can tell you this still looks soooo disordered. I’m finally in a place (3 kids later) that I’m able to recognize this kind of thing. I’ll definitely be hoping she works on this. ❤️
You should review all the what I eat in a day - quarantine editions.
I'll have a look!
I loved the info on how binge eating affects your body. Gave good rational! Makes me want to eat more balanced meals and be more intuitive so I dont do a shark attack later. I look forward to seeing upcoming videos! Thank you for your insight and knowledge:)
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Eamon & Bec! They’re vegan van-lifers! :) love their channel and how they manage to have a variety of meals from living in their van!
I'll have a look!
cheat day videos remind me of my obsessive personality throughout my early twenties. i was obsessed with food, money, my appearance, etc. it’s truly so boring to revisit that content because there is so much more to life than food
She needs to take a page out of Rebecca Jane’s book - that girl has the healthiest relationship with food I think I’ve ever seen
I'll have a look!
Abbey! Thank you for everything you’re doing in the UA-cam community. I get so concerned about the “what I eat in a day” videos misleading young girls, or enforcing bad habits. I feel like these videos help create more positive habits and help us to see more regular eating habits and point out disordered eating in the kindest way. ❤️ This is so important!!
I'm so glad it is helpful!
I'd love to see you cover Sarah Therese. She is gluten free, dairy free, vegan (for the most part) and is constantly talking about health and diet for her skin issues and health issues.
I'll have a look!
Abbey Sharp a
I feel bad for this girl. She reminds me of myself a few years ago at the height of my ED not even realizing it & thinking I was being “healthy”. In my opinion it appears that she’s traded one ED for another. It makes it worse that she’s promoting it. But, it’s all about growth. I have faith she will continue to get better. ♥️
Hey Abbey Thank you for your perspective. Id love to chat with you about topics you left out and I think are really important for people to know! Looking forward to hearing from you :)
thanks for your note! Please email me and I would love to share your perspective in the description. I truly wish you health and happiness and I hope you're taking care of yourself during these really challenging times.
you can leave, she clearly exposed your disordered way of eating in this video and without hammering you like swolenormous, she did it in the nicest way possible and she’s just being logical, like honestly look at what you’re doing, this is clearly not ideal and definitely not balanced, it’s plain and simple DISORDERED
you also don’t get how this can effect people who went through the same thing yo go through, an ED, very inconsiderate, insensitive and hypocritical since you’re “recovering”
@@picknick3 let them work or out. Abbey's response was perfect. She's compassionate while pointing out problems, and has taken the discussion to email.
I'm very small (155cm, 48kilos - just to give a frame of reference, not to reinforce that anyone has to be or should be my size) and even I don't eat just 1400-1600 calories. I've been on diets before that restricted me to that and it was NOT good. I also used to use the same excuse that I "just don't have time" to eat a proper breakfast and lunch. My eating was so disordered back then, my relationship with my body was messed up, and this type of eating triggered some binges. I'm not claiming that this is exactly what is going on for Olivia, but it reminds me so much of my former self, I really feel for her. I hope she can find a balanced way to eat and live a happy, healthy, life.
oh no the audio is messed up :o
laura limone I know we had issues w another person helping us while our usual videographer was away and it obviously was a mess 🤦🏼♀️
@@AbbeysKitchen nevermind, your video is great anyway :)
