Hey at least she is honest how she got so skinny, most influencers don’t
@@Tania-rg7jp I think you’ll find it’s not healthy to eat one meal a day at all. That’s not enough to fuel an active body. There’s very little evidence to support the supposed benefits of intermittent fasting. I understand some people do this because of cultural or religious reasons - this video was not about that. This is not a healthy or safe way to lose weight. I think you’ll find abbey would agree with that
@@riribeasley4741 yea
completely agree. I do bodybuilding and powerlifting and eat very similar to Blaire. Its my sport. I also eat more flexibly when I am not competing. You will find a lot of athletes have to eat in a very 'obsessive way'. I love food and love life. But I know If I told people about what I eat during a prep I would get roasted by this dietitian. Sick of people pretending they can eat 3000 calories and be 10% fat. Truth is-they don't!
@@riribeasley4741 it is enough if you get enough calories from it. Shit you can still gain weight if you ate 3,000 calories (unless you’re a body builder or sum) in that one meal every day. It’s all about the calories not the frequency you eat.
Seriously!!
Thank you Abby ❤️🥺 appreciate you more than you know
I hope you're doing ok Blair 💕
I hope u can overcome this blair🥺❤️ we love u
Be kind to yourself Blair. Sending lots of love ❤️
Here for you 🥰 you've had a tough year
Take care of yourself. Be kind to you and your body.
I feel more empathetic than enraged. Yes, she’s an adult that should 100% be held accountable for giving these bad advices. But I think she also needs a lot of compassion atm. Calling off an engagement/long term relationship breaks you as a person, I’ve been there, esp. when her ex is now somehow already engaged again and publicly said mean things about Blair. I truly wish her well.
Me too. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
Completely agree!! Adults don’t know it all and we all get wrapped up in our problems or life struggles but I think this calls for education, empathy, and support for her 💛
Yes this is such a good take... not to mention her ex is clearly intent on lambasting her and is *engaged again.* poor Blair has no home - the Internet is the only place she lives. She seems so lost, I feel for her.
Omg he’s already engaged? Heartbreaking. Sending lots of love to B 💕
Nik isn't REALLY engaged. If you know how he is you'd know how much of a troll he is. He hasn't even been "physically romantic" with his "fiance" yet. It's a gag. He LITERALLY did an entire video of how him and Blair ended. They agreed to go to therapy and instead SHE decided to go on a Yacht with Azzyland and called Nik and said, "Therapy is for losers and she will never go to a therapist. She has bashed him many many many times on her Instagram and videos.
She used to be such a lovely person that seemed to have such good morals and values. Yes, I completely understand the heartbroken state she is in. But she literally CHOSE to NOT fix her relationship. All men aren't dog water and to "get over someone" you shouldn't get "under someone." (Her advice) She has an extremely young fan base and personally in her recent videos she is setting horrible examples to her younger impressionable audience.
I have been watching her for years and she has changed. Not for the better and it's so sad. She smokes cigs now...its just....idk. I hope she finds herself again. She TRULY seems like a sweetheart and kind soul.
She has always had issues with her body. There is absolutely nothing wrong with therapy. Therapy is like a workout for your mental. As important as it is to exercise and work on your physical, it is the same when it comes to your mental.
I feel horrible for Blair. She used to have such a positive bubbly humour and a zest for food and Life in general. It's so heartbreaking to hear about her breakup and how it seems to be affecting her. I'll also say as far as her describing her diet as low effort: it definitely is low effort to not eat until well into the day when your experiencing depression. It is so much work for me to actually get up and eat when I'm in a depressed state to the point where I literally will wait until I'm about to pass out to put something in my body. I hope that's not what she's referencing, but I do understand kind of turning that into an intermittent fasting mindset.
Your last sentence is what my shrink told me few months ago
Absolutely. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
I can relate. I went through a phase of severe depression for around a year. And yes, I wouldn't get up and eat even the food was already prepared and available for me to eat (food available in college mess). I will get up when either when I'm extremely fatigued from lack of food and water. I wouldn't get up even to bring a glass of water. Hopefully I am over that phase. I went under clinical supervision to overcome that.
Yep, when I was depressed and felt lonley it used to take me until mid afternoon to muster up the energy to eat but then I would snack on chips until midnight.
That is so true and relatable 😐
Blair has definitely gone through something after her breakup with her fiance because her videos do seem more chaotic and stressful than before. I am sure that stress of the breakup reflected in her eating habits
She was with Nick for years. She probably is having a rough time with it and she isn't able to deal with the fact it's over
Possibly. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
@@heyheyhey7988 I think Blaire said it was mutual
I agree. I used to watch her all the time and thought she was so funny and after they broke up she started changing and it was very hard for me to watch. I really hope she gets help
I can't imagine the pain she is going through. I don't know who she is but having an engagement/relationship end would be so tough.
When I hear Blair talk about her eating habits, it really sounds like the voice my eating disorder has in my head. The downplaying of her restrictive eating, using hot drinks/soup to reduce hunger and consume less calories, etc is just so familiar to me as someone currently struggling with anorexia. I don't think she posted this realizing how triggering and dangerous it can be, I think she might be unaware or in denial that she has an eating disorder (not that I'm trying to diagnose her!)
I understand, I’m so sorry it’s triggering for you. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
she also is super addicted to vapes and probably uses it as an appetite suppressant !!!
She does have an eating disorder.
She cares about her appearance and doesn't want to look fat.
I used to watch Blair a lot but I had to stop because I could see how disordered was her eating.
This is so triggering for me too. I'm also suffering with anorexia.
honestly while her diet was kind of triggering I don’t even know if I can criticize her about it because I feel like she has been in a really awful place mentally. I just really hope she gets the help she needs
I hope so too
She can be criticized for posting it online though.
yes, it was super triggering to me too, i used to do this and think it was the "right way" to eat healthy, i also hope she finds help
@@priyaravindran6150 exactly! She definitely should be criticized for posting it when she has a younger audience who might not understand that it’s so unhealthy
@@katherine5797 she deleted it.
I haven’t watched Blair in a super long time, this transformation is shocking.
SAME it's been a good two years.
This is not really a good representation of who she is, it's one anxious video that is all
Same. I don't know what to think
me too! I don’t really remember what her content was, but this still shocked me
Havent started the vid yet but I'm finding out from the comments her and nick broke up??!! 💔💔💔💔
I feel like this one vid of hers I haven't even seen entirely misrepresents her channel. She used to make a lot of "eating like____" vids that were super well researched and would even get into how they dressed and acted. It wasn't REALLY about losing weight, at least that's not what it felt like. It was about being open and honest about how diet culture really affects women at that age. She would always point out how terrible she felt on the harder diets and would show us her body in an effort to be relatable. I found her when I was trying to maintain my disordered eating habits and I stayed with her because it actually made me feel good to see that These Diets Do Not Work. And because her channel just didn't support my disorder eating ideas????
I feel like this review of her video was a bit unfair and was definitely looking for things to find disordered. I am still working through the vid and trying have an open mind.. but knowing Blair, I just dont think it's accurate...
She's definitely going through a "mental health disturbance". She's basically admitted that she went off the rails with the hair bleaching because it gave her sense of control and accomplishment and I image it was the same case for the food. Ending her engagement and relationship must've been such a huge blow to her life.
I can’t even imagine. I went through break up recently and we only dated 10 months. Reminds you how hard they can be. Hope she heals soon!
Oh wow. I hope she is doing alright and is able to find the help she needs
Not a class act to speculate in someone elses life and mental state :)
I'm so early, I have no comments to read
Read this 🤣😂🤣
😂👍
@@AbbeysKitchen 👸🤩🙌
well that’s impressive
ya reallypueott
Once again Abbey handles an extremely sensitive topic with eloquence and professionalism. Was a little worried this one would trigger me, but your insightful commentary helped majorly.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad it was helpful ❤
how are you not enraged that shes basically uploaded this again for ppl to find and use ??
@@alabaz2302 what are you talking about?
the way she said she eats "between 1500 and 2000 calories" reminds me so much of the way i reassure people i'm eating enough... and i have an active eating disorder and am often, you know, lying. (i'm in treatment and working hard to get better - if you're reading this and you're struggling, you deserve recovery and i believe in you!)
I hope you are doing alright ❤
It's a process, not perfection, body wise, or in other ways. A great quote from Buddha- "Perfectionism is self abuse of the highest order."
A major thing she failed to mention is that she started smoking a lot.
Wow!! Why am l not suprised.
Weed or cigarettes?
@@sallysmith7664 cigarettes and vaping (nicotine). Aka hunger suppressants. No mention of weed.
@@SimonMetin I see! I vape (because I quit smoking) and can concur that it suppresses appetite. (Please don’t tell me it’s unhealthy, it’s an addiction I know I need to stop. Also I’m 25 not a teen.)
@@sallysmith7664 I won’t preach here even though I’m a doctor haha
"wait until I'm so so so hungry that I want to flee the country" "share most of your food with your friends" "avoiding high calorie things" "hot liquids to keep your stomach full" "fries on their own as a meal"
....... This is *literally* how my eating disorder is currently operating. And it was like this without ever seeing her video.
Same, these were the same things I would say while in an inpatient unit regarding food. Being afraid restaurants were sneaking in oils and extra calories, only drinking hot drinks to curb hunger, the salad barely being lettuce and tomato?? Now on top of that I don't even believe shes eating as much as she says if shes eating breakfast at 3pm as she says, thats barely time to eat dinner before back to bed. She needs serious help and this is only going to get worse until she receives it.
same girl i am in recovery right now but i felt called out lol
@Kay E ah yes go watch 2 other people with severe eating disorders to 'calm down' there is no perspective when it comes to ED's that stupid little stigma that some people dont have it 'as bad' is such a shitty thing to say. Thats like me saying oh your cancer isnt that bad because you arent dead yet, cancer is cancer the dame way ed's are ed's.
@Kay E you make no sense shut up
As a mom, I really hope those of you who realize you have an eating disorder go and get the professional help you need. The fact that you recognize it makes me believe you are, but if you aren’t, please, please go seek out professional help.
This is exactly how my ED spoke to me. It’s so scary to hear it out loud. 😭 I hope she’s doing okay and will feel better soon.
I hope you're doing better from that right now! Sending love and support 💕
@@anya0410 You're so sweet. Thank you. Happy to report I'm doing much better nowadays.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I hope you are feeling much better now and have a lovely day. An ed is such a horrible thing I wish it was talked about more
@@liaasage thank you so much. To be honest, there are good days and bad days and it's really something you never 100% get rid off, but I am feeling better now than I did before. Thank you so much for your words...it means a lot more than you know! Hope you have a good day too!
her "low effort diet" sounds awfully similar to the rules i started putting up for myself, right before going off the ED deep end.
This is why people yoyo diet and live miserably, even when weight loss is the goal. No reason you can't lose weight AND not be hungry. Listening to people like her and their extreme hot takes on nutrition. Abby you've seriously helped me with my disordered eating and education about nutrition SO MUCH. Thank you 💖💖💖
I’m so glad my videos are helpful for you! ❤️
Also what is she 23 at the most? Please come talk to me after you've had some kids you're 30 you have to do way more than just not eat until noon. I feel like just not eating until noon and going on a few walks or whatever is a very twenty-year-old thing.
@@leahswenson7776 exactly. My metabolism has slowed heaps in my mid 30’s and with two tots and a secular job, I have little time. I used to have an ED in my teens and early 20’s so what’s she’s saying is similar to my thoughts back then. She’s preaching a toxic, shallow relationship with food. Interesting to see where she ends up in 10-15 years time.
@@leahswenson7776 you’d be surprised the effort ppl with EDs put in. I’d juggle school and long ballet classes every day while not eating until I got home at 7:30pm. Felt awful and on the verge of passing out or falling asleep all day but I still “fasted” while having things to do.
@@lilypoppy3388 I've had an ED and it consumed my every thought and my every action I took throughout the day. I still have issues with serious image issues. I'm sorry you have had to know the pain of an ED
I know Blair pokes a lot of fun at herself but I had to unfollow her over a year ago because her humor about dieting and other things completely lacked the criticism needed to actually make it funny. So while I think she INTENDS to poke fun at content on the internet, it comes across as very empty to me.
I understand. I’m sorry if those jokes were triggering for you
I always felt like there was something off about her videos and you just put my feelings into words. That‘s exactly it, her videos do feel empty and lack some sort of reflections process about the things she tries to make fun of.
That's what happened to me around the same time. Initially I felt she was very positive in general, but that eventually wore away.
Couldn’t say it better
SAME. Still care for the girl but things were getting weird.
The fact that you said that 200 wasn’t a meal has actually made me feel so relieved, I try to eat vegan a lot and I see proportion sizes on all the packages and the calories for each and I notice 3 nuggets = 190 calories and it makes me so anxious and makes me feel like I should just have that so I do and then I binge in the end and I never understood why when I was eating the proportion I was told.
Portion sizes make no sense in the real world of a person eating, tbh idk what logiv there is behind, completely ignore them. Eat what you think is a fair amount for your needs. (I also never listen to the vegan nugget suggest portion, the other day I ate a whole pack of vegan bratwurst)
also know that eating veggie is way different than eating animal products. normally animal products have much more calories and fats in them than if you were to eat just veggie. also you do need to eat more on a veggie diet because eating a salad is not the same as eating it with steak. best way to stay heathly on a veggie diet is add mulitple groups of food in your meal and then you should cover the bases!
@Hannah Dailey this is such a big thing for me to realise. I stress when my meals are 300 calories +.
I truly believe it comes from dieting since I was 11, but I'm working on it. Changing my mindset from weight loss to performance has helped. But it's still a hard mindset to shift.
I've been vegetarian since I was 12, so I've spent a lot of time trying to learn about how to have a balanced diet. With things like veggie nuggets, the portion size is set with the idea that they will be a side to a larger meal. 190 calories is a snack, not a meal. On days when you're feeling lazy and the nuggets are going to be your whole dinner, go ahead and eat multiple servings. If you have more energy, make some sides to go with the nuggets so you can have a full meal. Sometimes I like to put mine in a wrap or on a salad. I've also tossed fake chicken into a curry sauce with some veggies and put it over rice. I like to aim for a good variety of foods in my day rather than a specific calorie count. I think Abbey has a playlist of good vegan WIEIAD videos that you can watch for inspiration.
Those portions are definitely not supposed to make an entire meal, just a part of one. I'm glad that part was helpful for you!
I just want to say thank you so much Abbey im 14 and you have really helped me on my anorexia recovery and helping me to reconstruct my relationship with food. You’re genuinely such a knowledgable, warm hearted person and I’m so glad I found your channel. My mum really likes you too. thank you for everything you do❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing! I’m so glad my videos have been helpful for you ❤️
❤❤❤
Power to you hun. You can do this.
Hi Ellie :) I also had anorexia at 14 . I am 26 now, and life gets so much better trust me x
The thoughts will always be there but remember you are stronger than them.
❤️
Because of Abbey, I have a better relationship with food.
I’m so glad ❤️
I was just thinking the same thing 🥰
I totally agree! My OB suggested taking an iron supplement with a glass of OJ to help it absorb and for years I was so scared of "liquid calories". It was still a scary thing to buy orange juice but I've been drinking it every day without (much) guilt or fear. I'm a work in progress!
Same here!
Same
As a mom of a little girl watching videos like this really makes my heart hurt for all the little girls struggling with body image and watching videos like hers. Really working on teaching my daughter that when you're hungry you need to honor your body and eat.
Me too. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
Same here. My daughter is 12 and already compares herself to her friends. It's a tough situation. Hopefully talking with them helps. I know my mom never talked to me about body image etc and I had dealt with body issues for years. I wished I had gotten support at home.
YOU basically reuploaded it...@@AbbeysKitchen
As much as I'm disappointed in her change I can't even feel upset at her because I know she's currently going through a traumatic experience with her breakup
She is still a grown adult who's completely responsible for her actions. She's intelligent, she's not stupid, she's far from it. She knows better than to romanticize and share her ED, yet she still chose to.
@@corablah9809 Exactly. No one gets a free pass to promote diet culture because they're going through shit. We ALL go through shit.
I’m sorry about that. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
@@findingkia3971 but no one is perfect. Maybe she really didn’t think that what she’s doing is wrong.
@@sharonngongo175 i agree with u, some ppl just lack empathy and compassion. everyone is growing and goes through ups and downs in life & sometimes ppl share hurtful ideas and advice, unintentionally - ppl forget that things aren't black and white
I got to “poke bowl with no rice” and was like nope too much work, no can do. I’d rather actually workout at that point lol
I get a poke bowl but just eat 1/2 the rice. I feel like they give soooo much in the first place. 🤷🏻♀️
@@eileengalindo4949 nah I tear that shit up
this hurts so much to watch. it feels like the breakup spiral that happens when you think you're getting your "revenge body" by starving yourself and doing all this other stuff, but you are really just making yourself sick. I just went through this over the summer, so I feel it. I hope she gets this disordered eating under control. she deserves better.
"...your body will hack that hack..." Yep. I felt that.
Yup!
same
Hearing her talk like this sounds like it is straight out of my ed's mouth that spews against me in my mind. The everyday walking part hit very close to home. Having to move everyday and not be allowed to rest is a definite thing I struggle with, in a relapse into my ed. Thank you Abbey, for making these videos and giving me rational knowledge to combat the ed thoughts
I'm so glad these videos are helpful for you ❤
So hard for my ED brain to not be like "ohhh good tip" I have to give myself good shake and say NOPE! not going back intermittent fasting, filling yourself up with hot water and feeling so hungry allllllllll of the time. So glad she took the video down.
Me too. I hope this video was not triggering for you!
Me eating buttered chicken and buttered naan bread while watching this and enjoying my food.
Sounds like a great meal!
lol totally. I ate fried eggs on buttered toast while watching this. It was magical. The apple made it healthy lol.
Happy for you
Hahaha I was eating a chocolate donut. Nourishing the heart.
i used to like watching her videos but she's changed a lot honestly and though I wasn't aware of her breakup etc, either way this and she is pretty triggering for me as a 15 year old trying to recover from anorexia so I chose to avoid her videos. thank you for sharing this :)
I’m sorry those videos are triggering for you. I hope the review was still helpful!
@@AbbeysKitchen it is!
Best of luck on your recovery, it can be so hard to avoid triggers and I’m proud of you for being mindful of it!
Just wanted to add a positive voice for you! I know recovering can be a struggle and wanted to remind you how strong you are! Every step towards recovery, no matter how small, is something to be celebrated. Keep on that path! You're not alone and many will cheer you on ❤
This reminds me so much of what I used to do when I was mentally unsound. I used to fast until I was dizzy, only eat low calorie healthy foods, binge at night, then repeat the process. I still struggle with the fasting and binging but this made me so sad for her. It’s such a sad and exhausting way to live, hoping she heals.
I'm so sorry for your experience. I definitely hope she is able to find the help she needs
You would have A LOT to touch on with Jaclyn Hills new weight loss series, there's just so much going on and with that a lot of toxic diet culture. Would love for you to talk abaout it!
Review is coming soon!
Omg, come on, leave jaclyn alone 😒🥱🥴 not a fan of her but she's been through enough IMO and it must be pretty difficult to gain so much weight in front of literally everyone and now doing your best to try to lose it.
Ahh I agree I am watching it and i feel so bad because she restricts to heavily only eating “good food” and then binges and feels horrible it’s so sad to watch
@@jettpeaches6389 I feel like jaclyn would do amazing with help from a professional to help her eat the way she wants to and learn the healthy habits.
@@ivanavasquez2475 I don’t think anyone, especially Abbey, is out to attack Jaclyn over her weight gain/her trying to lose weight. If Jaclyn is advocating for unhealthy eating habits though, that is a problem! She has a lot of young and impressionable fans and it’s could be damaging to them. I think it’s important to recognize that
Scary how much I recognise all these mechanisms she's explaining. Mechanisms that took years of therapy to undo.
Sadly, I remember spending my teens counting calories, avoiding all fats, being vegetarian because the doctors told me to, and drinking a lot of Diet Coke. What I got out of it was 100 lb weight gain from age 13 to 19, bad pcos, and bladder nerve pain (4 to 6 on a pain scale of 0 being no pain and 10 being childbirth/kidney stones/infection of the bone.) Blair’s caffeine intake and avoidance of good fats is harmful to her body and a bad example for others.
I’m so sorry for your experience. I hope you are doing alright now ❤️
That’s because fats don’t make you fat. Carbs do. Try keto or just low-carb
What does pcos have to do with side effects? Did you mean you also didn't take care of it and then it added up to other bad results or that it just caused it
@@apfelsaft2404 carbs are problematic for those with pcos because pcos can cause insulin resistance. I eat about 60 grams of carb per day.
@@MM-uw5tt which part did you see as a ‘side effect’? My urologist recommended avoiding caffeine and aspartame because they irritated my bladder. Eating vegetarian in a low fat style didn’t work for my pcos, my gynecologist recommended a lower carb diet for my pcos and eating healthy fats (olive oil, avocado oil.) the diet has really helped my hypoglycemic episodes.
Oh, Abbey, thank you for saying that it's OK to have "more meal-like snacks, like a sandwich, at snack time". I always feel like having something like a toast when it's time to snack and I've always felt guilty and gluttonous about it because I always see something small, like a single fruit or some nuts, as a snack recommendation.
I don't know, it just feels good to hear that one's behavior is normal and accepted.
not sure if it helps, but in my country a sandwich is probably the first thing people will think of when thinking of a snack 😅
Abbey thankyou for this, a memory came up on my phone today from when I was in the grips of my ed 3 years ago and it made me kind of miss being that person and having that body. This video reminded me why I decided to get better and treat myself with more kindness.
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you ❤
I haven’t watched this yet and I am commenting.
I used to really like Blair ! She would eat freely and be so funny and the second her engagement broke off she changed and it all went downhill and I couldn’t stand her and found her relationship with her body and food etc changed a lot !
She really used to be relatable in a way and now I don’t even recognize her . I don’t think she’s okay mentally and I hope she’s getting the help she needs .
Okay I’m
Watching it now .
Same!! I used to love her videos and vibe but when her engagement broke she move out to Mexico with some weird people than she become another person.
I can’t recognize her anymore and I strongly believe she needs mental health and support for accept the breakup.
Thank you for sharing. I hope so too
@@sofiaalves8124 I’m glad others see it too and I’m not alone . I really hope she gets herself surrounded by the right people and gets better soon . I miss the old Blair a lot .
I need to go find out who this girl is, I feel so sorry for her going through a break off of an engagement.
I miss the old Walnut too 😞
I think it should also be said that she goes out drinking often, by her own admission. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s saving calories for the alcohol.
holy shit, this is literally a list of pro-ana tips.
😫
personally, i dont think there really is that much wrong with her diet, per se, maybe the way she delivered some of the information i would find questionable. but overall what she said she was eating sounds like she was just trying to lose weight eating healthy foods. last time i checked rancid oils and butters from restaurants ... not too healthy for the body. way too much free radicals put into your body. also she was in mexico at the time, and hot, humid weather doesnt make you want to consume as much calories as you would normally.. makes you want to reach for fruits, veggies and fish. i lived in Miami for years and i honestly didnt really crave as much heavy carbs like rice, pasta etc. as up north where the climate tends to be cold.
Her video and entire channel was grossly misrepresented here.
@@NeekkeKayla i agree..THANK YOU. i wanted to say more to defend her but didnt want to be politically incorrect and have the trolls come for me lmao
thank you so much for saying this! Idk who can tolerate a greasy fried egg with fried bacon first thing in the morning but definitely not me
i’ve honestly never seen abbey look so concerned as she does in some parts of this video and I know a lot of Bs followers are worried about her too :(
I definitely hope she is able to find the help she needs
Abbey, I just wanted to thank you so much for the content you create. The education I've gained from your videos has made such a huge positive impact on my life :')
I’m so glad the videos are helpful for you! ❤️
Abbey take a look at Jaclyn Hills weight loss/ health journey. She seems to have good intentions but toxic diet culture and food guilt have made her journey very difficult and she is very hard on herself. I feel like you could be very beneficial
Review is coming soon!
Staying healthy after an ED is never low maintenance… if you say it is, there is disordered eating still there…
Did Blair have a ed at one point then
I used to love Blair, but she has changed so much recently, and after this video of hers I had to say goodbye for my own recovery maintenance. I really hope she is okay.
Thank you, Abbey ❤️ Lately I’ve been finding myself having the same thoughts as Blair- “drink hot teas and soups when you feel hungry”, “don’t eat from restaurants because you can’t control how they prepare it” and this was a big wake up call for me. I appreciate your channel so much
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you ❤
I’ve been feeling this way too.
I think for the snacking thing/mindless eating thing, you're looking at this from a very neurotypicals view. Personally, I have ADHD and idk if Blair has said it but I think most people think she does as well, but for me, you put food in front of me, I WILL eat it, regardless of whether I'm hungry or not, which sucks bc sometimes I'm so full it hurts and I. Will. Keep. Eating. Easiest solution is just to not have access to that food. Personally as well, bc again impulsiveness is a big thing for ADHD people, if I just think about a certain food, it's very hard to make the thought go away unless I eat it, regardless of whether I'm hungry or not. Again, just not having it in the house is the simplest solution.
Overall, while I do think you have some good advice, I think you're also taking her advice to the extreme. Realistically, if she was only eating 1000 kcals a day, she would have lost way more weight in that time period, so clearly she wasn't. And idk I like avocado and eggs on toast, I don't see how that's a boring breakfast haha, it's quite tasty and filling. Whats your idea of an interesting breakfast?
I agree with the mindless eating when my adhd was untreated that factor controlled my life
OMG THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS u took the words right out of my mouth
Thank you for covering this video. I’ve seen a couple of other UA-camrs review it, but I was really waiting for your take on it. You always address videos in a knowledgeable and respectful way.
Thank you so much! I hope the review was helpful
this is crazy omg, it's exactly how my ed talked to me and it's crazy to hear it out loud. i really hope that Blair is doing well and that she can overcome this soon!
Oh Abbey, you have helped me to change my mindset about food. Before seen your videos i wouldve follow blairs "advices". Thankfully you are here. 💝
I’m so glad my videos are helpful for you ❤️
I was really sick from celiac’s disease and then got my brain stuck in this weird mode where food was the enemy (not for weight reasons, but because accidentally eating gluten with celiac’s is awful- at least for me). So I realized recently I had gotten in the habit of eating around 700-1,000 calories/ day. The side effects are terrible. I’m building back up now and repairing my relationship with food. Food made me really sick for a long time because I was unaware of my allergies. All this to say: those calorically and nutritionally dense foods are my favorite right now. Ya girl adds olive oil to anything I can. I’m this week up to 1400 calories/day and continuing to build 🙌🏻
I'm so sorry for your experience, but so glad to hear you are doing better now ❤
I'm dealing with a similar issue but I have gastritis and acid reflux. I can't have anything in the capsaicin family. I didn't learn that from my doctor but from a culinarian friend. No peppers or tomatoes for me for at least a few years if I manage to heal my stomach. For a year after my diagnosis, I struggled to find food to eat and got to the point where I would just starve because it was less painful than my stomach feeling like it was on fire from being set off. Also, the fatigue from it all... horrible. All my doctor told me was what to avoid, not any ideas of what to eat so it's been not fun. I finally feel like I'm figuring it all out though. I have been at a steady weight for about a year now, I'm eating well and I feel pretty good.
Food aversion/allergies must feel nearly impossible to navigate and they can certainly lead to disordered eating if one isn’t careful. I’m sorry you went through that but I’m so proud of you for figuring it out and making it a priority to fuel your body.
I changed my diet for health reasons and was accidentally undereating. I'd been used to eating smaller amounts of calorie dense unhealthy foods (lots of sugar and highly processed food). The healthier foods I switched to filled me up after 800-1100 calories. After noticing I was below my healthy weight range, I tracked calories and realized I needed to make more changes to my diet--and I countinued to keep track until I learned how to meet my daily caloric needs. I also found out those calorie dense healthy foods are my friend! I love using avocado oil, avocados, eggs, peanut butter, cashews, almonds and almond flour, meat, etc. It's really hard to gain back weight once you go below your healthy weight range, especially if you are used to eating smaller portions. It took effort and I still have to pay attention, but I was able to increase calories over time and make it back to a healthy weight. I did lose some muscle and haven't gained all that back yet, but I can work on that later. I don't regret changing my diet at all (my health has improved), but it was definitely a learning curve--it was rough being underweight (did not feel good at all).
@@0nly0NE. I experienced the same thing! I needed to cut out a lot of food due to food intolerances and felt awful. I couldn't figure out why - I thought I was doing my body a favour. And I did, BUT I wasn't eating nearly enough. Calorie counting was a big no no in my mind but it really helped me once I tried it. It helped me figure out the proper amounts of food I need to eat in order to not slip into a drastic calorie deficit. Lesson learned!
Counting calories actually helped me, because I realized that before I was eating like 1300kcal 🤡, counting I eat around 2000kcal
Glad that works for you!
Same for me. I could never put on muscles, even though I did most things right. Started using myfitnesspal, and I was eating over a thousand calories less than I should be. Intuitively eating isn't for everyone, it should be the end goal, though.
Wow, this is like exactly how I ate when I was in a bad place. I lost 30lbs and ended up underweight, tired, cranky and 100 times more anxious. Poor Blair, I hope she gets help :(
I'm so sorry for your experience. I hope she is able to find the help she needs too
I had the exact same effect super tired always sore, always cold🥶😰
@@cherish7279 yes!!! being cold walking outside in the middle of July should have been a wakeup call for me
I did too after breaking up with my boyfriend of 6 years I went from 135lbs to 120 in a month and a half. I didn’t eat hardly anything at all, I over exercised every day, worked overtime, only drank alcohol and ate crackers occasionally.. it was very unhealthy but I was just too upset to eat. I remember feeling like my heart was literally going to give out and feeling on the verge of collapsing often. I have gained back 5 in the past 4 months, but the sad part is that was the only time I’ve ever felt confident about my body because I was able to tell myself no so easily.
Blair has spiraled since her and nick broke up it’s so obvious she’s not even herself anymore it makes me sad I hope she’s okay
I hope she is able to find the help she needs
I love you so darn much. I love your honest reactions. I love how you don’t fat shame, are soooo careful about your audience and their possible triggers…Youre just a wonderful person and I thank you for sharing your content.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you find the videos helpful ❤️
I honestly think they should add Abbeys videos to school curriculum.
So many of the men I’ve dated have crazy restrictive eating and are following weird diet fads they saw their parents using in the 80
Young children could benefit so much from this channel
Always a reality check for me when I start going down the ‘wellness restrictive eating path’
So easy to get caught up in what a beautiful celeb is claim works
This is not low effort weight loss this is low effort restrictive ED and exactly what I do whenever I start slipping back into the disorder...
I always love how much fun the editors have with the build bar segment
I think it’s so misleading and dangerous to market a diet that “doesn’t count calories!!” Sometimes losing weight and counting calories is actually HEALTHIER so you know that you’re getting enough fuel, and not just “hacking” out as much low calorie foods as possible and ending up eating only 1000 calories a day.
So true. I actually used calorie counting when I was recivering from my ED to make sure I would eat enough every day.
Especially if you want to keep muscle
It just differs from person to person. Whatever works for you is great. Blair mentioned that she gets obsessive while counting calories, she probably eats less when she does. For me, it can go both ways depending on my mental States. Counting calories can push me to trying to eat less than I need, but most of the times it helps me be reasonable and eat enough for my body. Whatever keeps you sane and healthy is the good way.
@@dianana7371 I totally agree and I’m very sympathetic to Blair since she seems to be going through a tough time right now- having said that I worry that her “hacking” calories away and avoiding anything with substance that’s high calorie is causing her to under eat. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but it looks like she’s having 1000-500 calories less per day than she says she’s getting, which is worrisome.
Yes, definitely for most, I believe. As someone with anorexia and orthorexia as well as OCD, counting calories or weighing myself (anything with numbers) I become totally obsessed and I will eat less and less. So that’s another reason I believe this video is def geared towards people with EDs.
I love how you always find a way to highlight the positive notes in a video (and knock down the crap of course) but I'm always left in a positive attitude after watching
Thank you, I'm so glad!
Wow this is such dangerous information and so triggering. Thank you for reviewing this video. We need to put an end to this type of content. Also - can you please tell my toddler that french fries on their own are NOT a meal 🤣 🤣 🤣
I’m glad the review was helpful!
These videos are so helpful to me. It really helps me be kinder to myself because instead of thinking I don't have enough willpower, I can now see how unhealthy those advices are in the first place. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad they are helpful for you ❤
I love Blair. She is definitely struggling with her body image and hiding it behind humor. Her popularity grew and now she has the diet and surgery bug like most female creators.
I hope she is able to find the help she needs
Yeah it‘s because society is sexist af! If u don‘t look like a doctored barbie you‘ve lost. And keeping that up really isn‘t ever gonna be healthy.
It's funny because no one ever critiqued her body. She always got compliments before for being hourglass
@@totally_a_spy I think she was receiving comments on other platforms and some comments she deleted. Not saying it was a lot … doesn’t seem like it was… but she def had some trolls.
@@totally_a_spyI am not familiar with blair's content, but even if no one commented negatively on her body (highly doubt it, she is a female creator on the internet after all), and instead they said positive things about her body shape, it could also make her feel pressurised to maintain that figure. The bottom line is that social media is poison to everyone's mental health, people are fixated on looking perfect and criticising other people's appearances as if they are just objects.
That snack pinpoint, I loved! It's so problematic that whenever we mention that we're having a snack it's always associated to something more calories dense/fatty.. it can be, but it can also simple be a slice of bread with some spread that kind of helps you till dinner time.
Exactly!
Hi Abbey, this isn’t relevant to this video, but I wanted to say thank you. I’ve had some serious health struggles and nausea that resulted in me developing ARFID and living the better portion of 6 months barely eating and in pain. I was reflecting some today, and found myself crying in gratitude. For almost a month I’ve been able to eat an appropriate amount almost every day, and because of you and all my binge watching of Abbey’s Kitchen, I am more in tune with my body than I ever though possible. As I started learning to feed myself again, I incorporated your intuitive eating tips. I swear I can tell when my body is asking for a veggie or a complex carb now. I’m gonna cry again writing this. I’m so grateful to you, thank you for helping me be healthy and happy ♥️ It feel so indescribably good to feed myself well
Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad my videos have been helpful for you and that you are doing better now ❤️
Omg I thought I was the only one. My nausea was so bad I had to take nausea pills every day and even then I was unable to stomach eating enough food. It was so bad my hair started falling out and all my clothes were falling off of me. My parents tell me I used to look like a ghost back then
God I used to love Blair, she was so funny and had a healthy attitude to food. Her attitude now makes me so sad. She’s giving up some of the best social years of her life to diet culture. Good Lord, enjoy the Mac and Cheese and some wine 🥺
I know. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
But she says she does enjoy the mac and cheese and wine...did we watch the same video?
Blair has given terrible dieting advice and has been following yo-yo diets for YEARS. Y’all act like this is recent. She needs to be held accountable for the damage she has likely done to her following.
Yup the only way I knew about her channel was when I was trying to loose weight and saw all her “challenge” and “eat like” videos
@@jurneyhalden4391 me too. It seems like that’s all she would ever post.
I struggle with anorexia right now and it's actually really helpful to listen to your tips about ADDING things to my meal. Like adding more fruits or protein or carbs~ It's really helpful and not triggering at all, so THANK YOU!
Hey Snow I hope you’re gaining confidence in yourself through your recovery. ED recovery is such a challenging thing to do. If you can access support services including counselling that’s a really fantastic way to help you move forward. There are lots of online resources as well and without knowing where you’re located, there are hotlines and things as well. Keep going because you’re worth it ❤️
Am I the doofus here? Because I always thought Blair's channel was completely satire... like nothing she shows on her channel is real, or how she actually feels, or acts in the world. Every single thing she says is supposed to be fake, & making fun of some trend going on somewhere. She's really good at pretending to be that kind of person tho. So I get why so many fall for it.
These are pretty much all of the tactics that I used to use when I was struggling with disordered eating. I hope she manages to find a healthier way to view food
Hey Abby! Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to study dietetics as a degree! Thank you for sparking my passion ❤️
I'm so glad! ❤
Love you so much, Abbey! Thanks for keeping it real for all of us. Also, your facial expressions are GOLD. 👏
Omg u made me laugh so much during that video! Love it! Thank u for all the good info ❤️keep them coming
Thank you for the work you do, it means so much to me and you’re a gift to the recovery community.
As for Blair, I could see her going down this road well before the breakup. You cannot cycle through so many different ‘diets’ and expect to maintain any semblance of sanity. She was bound to break at some point. A very devastating, life changing break up led to me losing my appetite and developing my eating disorder when I was much younger. I’m hoping Blair can figure this out before it takes over. I think the worst part for me while watching this was that I’d see glimpses of her old personality at points, which is how I KNOW I came across when I was in the throes of my illness. Having my old self back has probably been the best part of recovery and it is so much more important to me than looking the way I did. I’m just so heartbroken for Blair, I hope she realises that so many people love her and we just want the best for her.
I'm so glad my videos are helpful ❤ and I hope she is able to find the help she needs
Abbey, that headband with the pearl earrings is so classy and so cute! Going to bug a headband today! And another great video!
Lol buy not bug
Thank you so much!
Abbey, you’re always so tactful and helpful with your explanations of science and your opinions. I always learn so much!
You are the only UA-camr that I can listen to for hours! The content is excellent, educational, fun and really nourishing. Thank you Abby
Thank you so much!
I did *not* expect to hear Abbey say “balls deep”. 😂. 👏🏻. Very funny.
I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum I guess. I'm almost 100 lb overweight for the last 10 years and it feels like a black cloud that follows me everywhere I go and keeps me from being happy in life. Some people have situations they can't change like cancer, but my biggest issue in life is something that can be changed and I still can't find the strength to change it. Sometimes I'm jealous of people that are able to control their eating so much. I cannot even make it through one day eating healthy. I'm never going to change if I can't get control of what I'm eating and by get control I mean restrict myself!!
You are so spot on!! I appreciate all of your videos, you are the foodie we all need. Pls keep it coming
Thank you! So glad it was helpful
Abbey my new thing is to watch (listen to) your videos while I clean. I’m getting the house pretty spotless! Thanks lady :) 💪🏼keep ‘‘‘em coming
Blair used to be someone I was really proud of supporting. I loved that she proudly represented someone with fluctuating weight. Now I feel like it's harmful to give her the views. I hope she takes a step back and gets help.
abbey! always love your videos. also, your mama bear vibes are strong here and i love and appreciate it :) also super cool blair actually responded and sound receptive... would be cool to see her response video if it ever happens
So glad you enjoyed the video!
SO glad you’re responding to this video! I was dying to know your reaction…
I hope the review was helpful!
I used to really love Blair’s videos - she was quirky and sweet and relatable. If this is who she feels is the most ‘her’ I’m glad she’s coming into herself! But it’s just not for me. A little too triggering unfortunately.
I completely understand
She said she fasts and then eats and you think she should break her fast with pancakes or cinnamon rolls?! 😳 what the hell
Thanks for reviewing this one. Much of the “advice” you’ve highlighted here was almost identical to the advice I got at 12yo. Advice that eventually led to my ED.
People with a large platform (like BW) really need to be more mindful of the messages they send…unless, of course, they actually believe that they are giving good or healthy advice. In which case, they probably need professional help.
For sure. I’m glad you found the review helpful
Abbey Sharp I love your personality and wit in all of your videos! I’m learning and laughing at the same time! Thank you so much
Abbey, have you ever done a video about your history with EDs before? You have always seemed so grounded, I'd be interested to know more about where you came from and how were able to get to the amazing place you're in today. 🙏
I have an older video about this topic on my channel: ua-cam.com/video/lDmkSlyLFpM/v-deo.html
I used to follow her, she was smart and funny. She had already lost about 30 lbs before her breakup, and I was shocked to see her behavior when she moved to Mexico. I actually think her behavior reflected someone who was on drugs...and that was contributing to her rapid weight loss. I haven't see her in many months, this is shocking...
yes! Her behavior in Mexico was so off-putting to me, because I liked her for her relatability (even though she lives much differently than me) but I swear, her relatability went out the window during that time and I have not watched her since :/ I hope she’s okay
She’s partying with the devils dandruff. So it seemed.
I was thinking this as well. Any time I’d see or hear of Blair, Ever since her breakup, I just summed it up as she was experimenting with drugs and partying. I hate to put that assertion on ppl tho bc it’s a sensitive subject esp if you have been afflicted with substance abuse. But as someone who has been down this path she seems to be headed to, I hope she is being careful. Partying from a breakup is typical but I definitely went too far at times and found myself addicted later. Since I had both an ED and an addiction (seems to be Blair’s case too) I loved how much weight I would lose and ofc I felt good and didn’t have to deal with the trauma I dealt with or feel things. It’s a dark road and I hope she doesn’t let it take over.
This! I had to unsubscribe once she moved to Mexico because I did not like her behaviour, and this video is the first time since then that I have heard about her…
I’m just here to say a HUGE thank you for introducing me to Built bars! They have completely revolutionized my diet, and I have lost another 10 pounds by incorporating them into my diet. They are DELICIOUS!
I'm so glad you enjoy them!
I subscribe to Blair but haven't watched her videos in a super long time. This is such an informative video! I'm overweight with disordered eating habits, and this video showed me how problematic/dangerous my relationship and behavior with food is. I always knew this, but some of the things you mentioned made me think, "Wait, that's not normal/good/healthy?!" Super eye-opening and helpful for me to think of ways to be more mindful of how I treat myself and my body. I will lose the weight, but I have to go about it in a way that's not damaging. Thank you!
I can only imagine if my fiancé broke up with me, it would fuck up my life including my diet and my self-esteem.
For sure. I hope she is able to find the help she needs
Hey Abbey,
I would be really interested in a video on salt intake and what a healthy level looks like. Salt is definitely one of my fear ingredients!
Thank you for these videos Abbey, they always bring a healthy perspective and it helps me in my journey! I was wondering if you'd ever consider reviewing a completely normal person's what I eat in a day? I feel like most of the videos are reviews of celebrities and influencers who have all the time in the world to cook fancy meals, buy healthy groceries and eat out at restaurants. I'd enjoy a review of "what I eat in a day as a single mom" or "what I eat in a day as a college student" or something similar!
I can put this on my list to do!
appreciate the compassion for her and respect but shedding light on the risks of this kind of material... i always come back to sound advice and at end of the day want to be healthy.. but even at 42 i get tempted to watch this kind of thing and think what can i do? it's tempting so talking about it helps. Thank you Abbey.
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!
Damn, I used to love Blair’s videos. I haven’t watched her in a while. She’s really changed. I hope she gets help for whatever she’s going through.
Counting calories works out great for me because I go to the gym 5 times a week and it helps me track my macros and to make sure I eat enough.
I also found that I eat way healthier if I track my calories because I am more concious about my choices.
I cannot tell you how helpful and humorous your videos are Abbey. Thank you.
i feel like this video really called me out and i needed to hear that...
i'm not eating like blair but some of the things she said in the clips (i haven't seen her video before it got deleted) reminded me of my fcked up relationship with food and feeling the NEED to workout / move everyday lately.
it even got to the point where when i go out (which doesn't happen often) and there's food involved i will just start feeling sick in my stomach ugh. it sucks i don't want to fall down this rabbit hole again
