Video Contribution By: Katey Davidson: tasteofnutrition.com/
In this episode of Abbey’s Kitchen, I’m reviewing UA-camr, Stephanie Buttermore’s ALL IN videos. Buttermore is a former fitness bikini model and through that experience she experienced symptoms related to hypothalamic amenorrhea which is a very common condition in the sports world. Some of the risk factors for HA are: low caloric intake, low body fat levels, excessive exercise, psychological stress and genetic predisposition.
What is Set Point Theory?
Set point theory is when your body tries really hard to maintain its comfortable weight range by regulating its metabolism. It will speed metabolism up when its been overfed and slow metabolism down when the body’s been underfed in an effort to eliminate large fluctuations in weight. Basically our body wants to be whatever it wants to be, no matter what we try to do. One of the best ways to increase your set point is to diet.
Stephanie believes that by going all in, she’ll kickstart her metabolism, reach a weight plateau and no longer feel extreme hunger, and lose this “overshoot weight”.
Going all in may put people at risk for referring syndrome, however it is unlikely that this will happen to Stephanie.
Here’s where I think Stephanie is really rocking it.
Her enormous amount of bravery in coming out speaking freely about this lifestyle change.
She’s prioritizing her health, energy and future fertility over aesthetic goals and being “thin”
She seeks out the advice of experts that are actually evidence based
She vowed to stop tracking her macros and calories and weighing herself
She talks about buying new clothes which is a fantastic step in recovering
Here’s where I think Stephanie can improve?
Getting rid of diet culture talk
She still has some food rules
She’s still exercising quite heavily
I want to close off with a great quote which is: “The more that you control food, the more it controls you.”
If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. Leave me a comment with other diets and/or youtubers you want me to review. Also if you have any questions for me, please leave me a comment with them, and I will hopefully answer them in one of my future videos.

I liked your quote :" The more that you control food, the more it controls you. "
Obesity is not an offensive term, it is a medical term.
Karlene Krause i think she meant offensive as in a harsher sounding term, but that was really just my interpretation.
I think she was being sarcastic because people get offended easily
It’s a medical term, but it’s also used frequently as an insult or slur against fat people. So it can indeed be offensive. Similar to how the word “ret*rd”.
Was literally about to write this!
I thought she was talking about starvation as these people aren’t starving as in in less developed countries where they don’t have enough food
Your channel has really helped me. I'm eighteen and have put on weight in the last year and my parents kept telling me how fat I look and how I need to lose weight to look pretty again, despite having a healthy bmi. It's really depleted my self esteem. Your videos have helped me to be positive, now I don't eat healthy to lose weight but because I love myself and my body. I don't do "cheat" days because I allow myself to eat intuitively. Anyways thanks for the encouragement, I know you probably won't see this but thanks for everything!
Funmi F so happy to hear that! Keep doing what makes you feel good. Thanks so much for sharing
I started dieting when I was 15 years old and started to eat intuitively one year ago, I am 20 years old. My parents do the same, so much love and a big hug from Germany, don't ever listen to them! ❤️
The fact that your parents are saying this to you says a lot about them, and not about you. You don't deserve to be treated that way, it's not right, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it :(
My family also has unhealthy ideas about weight. The fact of the matter is that eating intuitively, whether you gain or lose weight, is what's important. Trying to take care of your body and eating healthy but not stigmatizing snacks or emphasizing restriction is the most important thing, and it's awesome that you're doing that. Also, as a 22 yr old woman, weight gain at around 18 is super normal. Your body is changing as you start to become an adult, and as you start coming into womanhood a bit more, you gain weight in some areas. Keep taking care of your body and don't let your family shame you for adopting both a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. You're doing great.
@@evilbananatwins Well it sounds like you've done quite a lot of research in this area, and are a bit more emotionally mature and educated than your parents are. Keep going, you're doing great!
What I learn:
Do exercise, but not be obsessed with that.
Dont diet, just eat well.
And last but not least: DONT BE IN THE FITNESS WORLD
Knedaphi I’m going to do a competition and I don’t think the fitness world is the problem. People without strong mentalities are honestly the issue. I don’t want to offend anyone but we have to be responsible for ourselves after a certain age and if you feel pressure to be something you’re not or do something you don’t want to do and you STILL do it... there’s no one to blame but yourself. Not everyone is mentally strong to do everything and that’s ok. I love the medical field and working with elderly individuals but I could never work in a cancer unit, I don’t have the mental strength to do so.
my mom was a personal trainer and i grew up surrounded by the fitness industry. i don’t think that the fitness industry as a whole is the problem because of how large it is, it’s just too vague to say that the fitness world in general is the problem. i think that stephanie buttermore’s transparency during her fitness/health journey while being a part of the industry shows that. there is toxicity in every community!
Sonotemo I agree and disagree. I agree that at the end of the day you need to learn to be mentally strong enough to take care of yourself, regardless of what other people do or say. So if you know you can’t, not being part of the industry would be good for you. At the same time I don’t think it’s right to pretend like the fitness community can’t be toxic. It’s like the beauty community. I love beauty and I love being part of the community. And not everyone can be part of it because it comes with a lot of drama and judgmental people. But I would never say that the beauty community isn’t doing something wrong. And I will always advocate for the industry/community to change for the better. The reality is that a lot of people in the beauty community are toxic and judgmental and make other people feel bad. I don’t think that the fitness community or any other community is different. I think that pointing it out and working on the community being better is needed. Not only that...learning to stop caring what other people say can take YEARS to do. Some people never learn and others don’t learn till they have lived most of their life. It’s a very hard thing to overcome and it is natural to care about what others say or think. I don’t think it’s fair to say that the only issue here are the “weak mentalities.” Just because someone is “strong enough” to overcome what others say doesn’t mean that what the communities do is fine. Personal responsibility will always be part of the equation to your own happiness and health. But looking at the bigger picture, there are other factors. And the fitness community is doing things that isn’t alright. Just like the beauty community or any other community.
lastly: delete any social media where you rely on putting out pictures of yourself for others to rate. It really fucks with your dopamine response in relation to your looks.
@@Tezah89 but like mental strength wont help medical downsides? Like you could be mentally strong and end up w HA. Which isn't the best for anyone?
Natacha Océane plsssss
Georgie Jeremy on the list
@@AbbeysKitchen
Abbey Sharp yes!!!
Agreed!! I love Natacha!
Yes!! I love her relationship with food and I love how she does all of these fun workouts like gymnastics and stuff not just weightlifting
Abbey getting excited about the body's hormone regulations is so cute
Kylie Andrea it’s amazing!
Yes, I feel like I'm the only one who is like that😂
She’s such a perfect nerd 😂
I love Stephanie so much she's so fucking beautiful and seems sooo humble and nice.
Britt Gelabert totally
Ive never clicked on a video this fast before
inaritales love it
Same! 😂
Me too 😂
Stayed up late on a school night to watch!!

"The more you control food, the more it controls you".
Wauw. That really hit the nail on the head on my disordered relationship with food, and tears are still streaming down my face from hearing a sentence that condensed it so beautifully. Finally I have a mantra I can say to myself when I realise that I'm yet again slipping back into my disordered patterns. Thank you ❤️
yayy so glad it's useful for you
Thank you talking about set weights. My set weight for most of my adolescence and early adulthood was 125 lbs. I’m 5’9” so that’s extremely thin, but I ate like a horse and never could gain a lb.
Then I had a baby and after losing the baby weight, my set point is between 140-155 lbs, a much more appropriate weight for my height, though still hard to accept just because it was different than the body I was used to. I recently stopped fighting this set point and instead began to focus on increasing my protein and weightlifting. I have never been so happy with my strong, bigger body.
Gaining weight was the best thing that's happened to me, I feel so much better than I ever have before 😁
J Marie that’s great!
J Marie me too
Same here! I feel like I have so much energy now
I love Stephanie. She’s so smart and takes such a scientific approach to diet and exercise that it takes out all the sensationalism that we see from so many influencers who are unqualified and are just looking for followers or to push an agenda. She really takes the responsibility that she has as a public figure seriously and I really respect her for it.
OMG!!! I just started following her “all in” journey, love this.
Samantha Jenea ❤️
Her cheat days are all in the past, pre her all-in journey and were a way for her to try to do something about her extreme hunger before she decided to go through the recovery process. She explains it in her "let's talk about cheat days" video she did recently. So I doubt she'll be doing cheat days anymore since she won't need to do anything like that because she can instead just eat food. :)
Thank you for reviewing her process! It's great to hear from a professional. I'm doing a similar recovery process (on my own, because I've found that it is difficult to get anyone to take a restrictive eating disorder seriously if you are at a high point in weight when you decide to recover, alas) and it has been a revelation after over two decades of being mired in ED and diet culture.
Annie Bellet thank you for sharing Annie
Same...I dont think any doctors or nutritionists where I live would believe I had an ED because I did not look emaciated. Good for you for finding your own path.
I am a final year dietetic student from South Africa and I absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you for your enthusiasm and evidence based nutrition information.
Hi Abbey, I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting this kind of content out there. I have a long history of binge/purge anorexia but over the last 6 months have been eating more intuitively and have gained a lot of weight. I've felt very mixed about it, and more recently have begun feeling more body shame and regret, and have considered trying to lose weight again, but videos like this remind me that my body knows what's best, and if that means gaining even more weight then that's ok. I can also confirm that it feels so much better to throw out old "sick" clothes and get new, better fitting ones. Clothes are there to serve us, not the other way around.
You just reminded me of the mindset to not allow the food to have the power. That's incredible. Thank you for the reminder, Abby!
Angelica Garcia yesss! Thanks love
Abbey, I don't know what you're doing with you hair and makeup but whatever it is is working girl. You're like glowing!
Funmi F thanks love
I absolutely loved this video!! I'm super happy that Stephanie is going All In and shifting into a more intuitive approach! Thanks for all the hard work you put into these kinds of videos. I love them!
Mani Fitness thank you
I have never heard of Set Point theory and it is FASCINATING! I love what you had to say about weight not telling us about someone’s morals, willpower, and what they/we actually eat... such good information 💙
Omg haven’t even watched it yet but I’m SO EXCITED you made this!!!!
Pearl Goldenberg ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. I'm in recovery from anorexia, and I was doing really well. Weight restored for over 6 months and I became less anxious around food. Then I lost three of my grandparents, and I feel very tempted to start restricting again. However, my body is finally calming down, I'm at a healthy weight, found my setpoint and I'm not as extremely hungry anymore. I know that if I start restricting again I'm going to mess it all up again! Stephanie's videos are so helpful, and I'm really happy you made this video as it emphasizes what Stephanie tells us in her videos. So thank you again!!!! I'm going to watch this video whenever I hear the eating disorder voice. Now I'm off to cook myself a nice dinner. :) Greetings from the Netherlands!
Could you do a video talking about hypothyroidism and diet there's a lot of misinformation/pseudoscience out there
Isabella Yes!
Yes! I’d love to hear what she has to say about that.
Yes
Yes!
YES PLEASEEEEE I have no idea what to eat lol
OMG really love this video. I'm following Stephanie's journey for the past 4 months since I'm also trying to recover from an eating disorder. The last two parts of this video are really on point. Thank you for sharing, Abbey!
I’ve been through “all in” after 2 years diet. Without any scientific knowledge, I just wanted save myself from period lost and grievous depression caused by emetic. And now my weight is stable for last 6 years, to be honestly I feel so lucky that I made that decision. More importantly it’s changed my thoughts of beauty. All the best for Stephen, she’s such a good role model.
OBESITY is NOT an offensive term. It is an official medical term. That's like saying the chicken pox is an offensive term.
Thank you. It is a medical term nothing more.
Correct it is a medical term but we don’t need to pathologize people. It actually means to eat oneself fat. Using “fat” or “in a larger body” is more neutral and seen as favourable to this population. I’m not part of this group myself so I am just an ally trying to respect them
Faye H
The funny thing is...in German (for example), it’s just the other way around. Calling someone ‚fett‘ (fat) would be highly offensive. Calling someone ‚übergewichtig‘ (overweight) is the correct and polite term here. Although granted, ‚overweight‘ and obese aren’t quite the same thing. I think, the literal translation of obese would be ‚fettleibig‘ (fatbodied)...which is a term, almost no one uses, however.
Just shows, how arbitrary these rules are. People suddenly decide, that a certain word is ‚offensive‘ and everyone then has to jump through hoops to avoid it.
What’s really going on, is that people can’t get a grip on their own problems/bad habits, so they tyrannize everyone around them instead, in a desperate attempt to regain some measure of control over their life. It’s classic bullying.
Rara Avis, brilliant comment! I couldn’t have put it better
chickens and their pox offend me buddy
LOVE your no shame discussion in this topic! I work with many clients with eating disorders who really struggle with weight restoration and increasing their caloric intake. Your research efforts are apparent. I'll be refering my clients to this video!
Sometimes i still need to fight the ED mentally that hasn’t left me and your videos help me a lot, is really fascinating information and it reassures me that i’m doing things right with no need to overthink that much.
So thank you and keep up the good work 💕
giulia coiro so glad to hear it helps. Thanks so much for sharing
Oh my god it took me 10 minutes to notice the dog 😂😍
When you said fitness I was buckling up to something bad but this was nice. Glad Stephanie is taking good care of herself.
yes shes lovely
Love the hair abbey looking amazing
Jaafar A thanks
Jaafar A she reminds me of Gwyneth Paltrow, in a way. Gorgeous woman.
Love these videos because it helps me see food, diet, nutrition, and my relationship to it in a more relaxed way. Really enjoying your reviews of other youtubers diets. Thanks for the hard work!!!
Yess!!! Im so happy you reacted to Steph ❤️❤️ I love what you both are doing on your channels for health
Sana A yes!
Thanks, Abbey. I have never heard of HA. I lost my period after getting my body fat down to 13.7% and I'm always hungry. I'm always asking trainers about food/diet. This was very informative.
Yass! Love this! I went "all in" and recovered my cycle and mental wellbeing. I lost my period for two years due to over training and under fueling prior to diving into the "No Period. Now What?" guidelines. Within a matter of months my cycle returned. My only exercise was yoga, Pilates and walking and my food was at or above 2500 a day. The freedom that followed was simply amazing. My energy and spark came back and my body began to respond to training in the ways I always dreamed-- hello booty gains! I am 7 cycles in and am back to working out but with a more focus on strength than cardio. I still struggle with my demons from time to time and diet cultures loud presence can tempt me back into my restrictive ways, but I am more aware of the dangers of under eating and over training which has allowed me to get back to doing what needs to be done. Eating more and moving less.
Thanks for your educated take on this topic.
that's so awesome! Thanks for sharing your journey with us :)
Such a brilliant, honest and informative video! And I love that you have talked about the fact that she still struggles with the diet culture talk (but not in a judging way) and explaining how it takes time to get rid of that mindset. ❤️ Your videos are always super educational, unbiased and just so brilliant. Thank you! ❤️
I really appreciate this video so much. I dont know much about this creator but your explanations on how the body works in this way was so helpful
I always love your videos! You should do a video on IBS and the low FODMAP diet.
Maren Hines yes!
@@AbbeysKitchen yes pleeeeeease! I've been diagnosed with Crohn's disease for three years now and I still can't figure it out.
@@mmartins8455 I've had crohns for 4-5 years and the low fodmap diet helped me so much! Definitely go to a dietitian tho and get them to help you because they know what they're doing. Best of luck, you're not alone in this 😊
M Martins I have a rare neurological disorder which give me Crohn’s like symptoms... i take Crohn’s medication to manage it. I would 100% go see a dietician. I saw one for a year and it honestly changed my life! I know it seems daunting, time consuming and expensive but you won’t regret it.
Honestly same, and low FODMAP recipes in videos and on her website.
I love how positive of a review this was! Extremely informative and well articulated. I feel like many people are misunderstanding Stephanie's All In approach as she is part of the bodybuilding /fitness industry which can be very superficial and not entirely focused on health... Some miss the point and think she is letting herself go or intentionally bulk but that is not the case, she struggles a lot but just wants to get her body back to where it's healthy and happy and I applaud her and anyone who is brave enough to do that.
MrsStinnnsfire for sure. Thanks for sharing
Ahhhhh I love the both of you so much. I agree about the diet culture talk, but she's just so brave, I adore her and what she's doing. Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Finesstra ❤️❤️❤️
I'm just passing by, but I have to say....this is so wonderful as are you!! Thank you so much for sharing your TRUE knowledge. It is desperately needed. Eating is so essential. I am so grateful for people like you and Stephanie. 🙏🏽🙏🏽I love how you keep referring to "see a professional". Bravo!! Wishing you continued success.
I struggled with HA due to my eating disorder/overexercise for years. I've since gotten it back though (: It was interesting to hear you talk about how it's a lot more common for set point to increase than it is for it to decrease!
Omg congrats! I've had similar experiences but luckily it lasted only for about a year. Hope ure doing okay
how’d you get it back?
I'd love it if you could make more vids on eating disorder recovery and intuitive eating because I feel like there's so much misinformation about them, esp on the internet
~ ashton elliot ~ working on it
@@AbbeysKitchen YES I SECPND THAT
@@AbbeysKitchen THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
~ ashton oliver ~ agreed
Have you checked out Tabitha Farrar.? 👍
Thank you so much for this video Abbey Sharp. I’ve been watching Stephanie’s journey online for months now and it’s been fascinating and educational. Thank you for talking more about the science behind what she is doing, it helped me to understand. I enjoy Stephanie and I enjoy you! New subscriber here!
This video is so good. Intuitive eating and set point are so important to know about, but so many people are resistant to the idea. Understandable, but frustrating. Thanks Abby!
Ummm I can agree that my being obese doesn't have anything to do with morals or if I'm a good person or not but it ABSOLUTELY has to do with what I do and eat.
Are you a nutritionist?
@@kyrah.13 no. You dont need to be a nutritionist to know that how much you eat and how active you are directly affects your weight.
@@kyrah.13 anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, being a registered dietitian is the real deal
@@efolinsky abby is an RD (registered dietitian) just in case you didnt know 😊
@@maegangershon1711 oh that I know! I was replying to the person who was asking the OP if they were a nutritionist 😊
I really want to thank you for your videos! I am 36 and just finding this stuff out about diet culture. I have been dieting since I was 11. I started with drinking Super Dieters Tea with every meal. For those that don't know, that is a laxative tea. I was a completely healthy weight of 75 lbs, but thought that I was fat because my abs were not muscular. I was just a little girl. I should have been having fun. Not obsessing over my weight! This led to a lifetime of unhealthy habits and negative food and body relationships. I want better for myself, my health, and my children! I just hope that I am not too late. I have 4 daughters that are ages 10, 8, 5, and 1. I am also currently pregnant. I have dieted with every one of my pregnancies because I was afraid of gaining weight. I had no idea that it was the dieting that was perpetuating my weight gain. Now, I have a BMI of 44.1. I would be lying if I said that I am ok with that, or if I said that I don't want to loose weight. But, how do I have positive body image while still being truthful?
THIS is the video I've needed. I am currently dealing with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea due to over-exercising and caloric restriction. I've been enjoying Stephanie's All In series, and am also SO HAPPY to hear your word on it. Thank you!
Maria Buhne 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
OMG I can't believe two of my favorite channel are colliding!!! I just luv u gals
yay! Thank you
For a fun review try Grackle, she's just fun and living her best life.
Tine VO I’ll look
Abbey Sharp yes!
aww I agree Grace is so wonderful and wholesome
Ahhh grackle is my favourite! Not sure if she’d appreciate someone going through her food intake though she’s so each for their own and everyday for her’s different
@@ST-wj3fu yeah! That was kinda my insentive behind it. So much is about distorted eating, Grackle is an ex model, who is (by todays popular opinion0 skinny, and she doesnt give a cr*p about it.
She embodies "intuitive eating" like no other. To do an in depth vid would be kinda hard I guess but just on the perspective of healthy relationship with food and eating what you body desires..she's the one to get!
Can you describe how to start intuitive eating? I understand the concept and it sounds great, but how do you get from a place of constantly wanting to eat hyper palatable foods to intuitively eating mostly nutrient dense foods? Is there a transition phase and if so what does it look like? Thanks xo
Carmen Audrey Thank You for putting my thoughts into words
Think of a pendulum:)
YESSS PLEASEEE
That’s great! I have the same questions! It would be great to know how to start. I’m constantly snaking and I don’t seem to realize when I’m hungry and when I’m just eating because There’s food around. I’m not overweight but I don’t think I can eat intuitively.
I second that!!!!!
Your sleeping doggy is so cute! This video, and meeting Stephanie is so healing!
Hillary M thank you
I’ve literally been wanting this video for so long! I tried doing my research on the all in and none of it made sense so thank you!!
aime perez you’re welcome ! Also get the book in the description
I really trust your judgement and the fact that you hate "cheat days" meant a lot to me, because I was considering those. I will make a better effort to not judge myself just on my weight, thanks Abby 😊 you're amazing!
Glorian Aponte thanks love
Obesity is not an offensive term, it’s a medical term. You know this, you don’t need to apologize for saying it. ♥️
How about the people that get diagnosed as obese instead of having their doctors listen to their symptoms and provide them with real medical care? That's incredibly offensive and probably why Abbey doesn't like that term.
Ok, I heard your point......Agree to disagree
Power Squirrel she used the term correctly so thats shy she has no reason to apologize. Not her faults others use it incorrectly
Obesity is not a medical term. High Adiposity is a medical term which describes the amount of abdominal fat. Obesity is a psuedo-polite way of labelling, boxing, 'othering' a particular group of people! Similar to the word coloured!
@@mairpotter8856 if you're using that reasoning then doctors need to stop saying heart attack. Medically it's called a myocardial infarction.
I’m studying to become a dietitian and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel!
I had Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and was so confused and my period was gone for two years. I was eventually diagnosed with celiac disease (a year ago) and gained about ten pounds in eight months. I've been at the same weight (within three pounds) for three months so I think this is kinda my new set point, but I've legitimately struggled with adjusting to my new weight.
Watching these videos have made me appreciate my body more and stop focusing on the desire to lose weight. I am at a healthy bmi of 21 and if this is my set point, I can just let my body do its thing. Thank you.
This is spectacular. Abbey, you’re a queen.
Alexandra M thank you
Your video is so informative! I stopped getting my periods and started feeling extremely cold and tired after dieting. Never knew it had a name or that the lack of periods and food was related.
YES! So excited you're reviewing this!
Clair Jones ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to let you know that your videos have made me interested in trying to become a dietitian. I am currently taking the year off school trying to rethink what I want to do and honestly stuff relating to becoming a dietitian sounded so interesting to me. I am definitely not someone who’s good at all in science but I am willing to try because I found something that actually really interests me and makes me want to actually try harder in school.
For a q&a questions, what would you recommend as a strategy for losing weight permanently? What's the science behind keeping weight off in a healthy way! Thank you, love your videos 💛
Thank you! Our weight has nothing to do with moral character etc. it has everything to do with our body fighting to be what it wants. This is true! I did something similar a few years ago because I was sick of restriction. I ended up losing weight and got my thyroid health back!
Thank you so much for making videos, I have struggled with eating for years and being able to listen to a knowledgeable dietician helps me gage how I am doing, and has really helped me see how I am wrong despite thinking I'm doing everything right.
so happy to hear that. Thanks for sharing
I really enjoy watching all of your videos. It's so nice to see someone with an actual Dietician background giving others knowledge about "diets". I feel like if I just let my body decide what and when to eat I would feel much better, like I did in my twenties, than to try every fad that comes across my Instagram to try and lose weight. My body knows best and that's the reason it stays between a certain weight range regardless of what I'm consuming. I'm very pro the intuitive eating and thank you for sharing.
Kimmy Liberda 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Absolutely love this video. As a Master's student in Nutrition and a future Dietitian myself, I love learning more about how we can encourage intuitive eating, body positivity, and health (mental and physical) focused goals. My question, though, is -- for somebody who holds these values, how do you as a professional approach a client who is seeking to lose weight (fat) in a healthy, sustainable way? Especially if it is not a substantial amount, say 20lbs. Are simple behavior swaps such as more vegetables, more movement, non-weight focused goals, etc. usually enough? Sometimes I feel there is a disconnect in the body positive community around the topic of weight loss, as in some people may feel as if they are "not allowed" to want to change their body composition for fear of being judged or deemed as "not truly loving themselves".
Another huge consideration for losing periods is the long term possibity for bone loss and osteoporosis. I was anorexic as a teenager and now at 58 years old this is a huge concern for me. Great video.
wow, this is soooo fascinating! also love how abbey always makes these things so easy to understand :)
thanks love!
Finally!
Thank you Abbey❤️. Liking and commenting way before watching
enjoy!
Oh god thank you so much for these videos. I'm 27 and still in the (and it's probably going to be a long one) recovery process of getting out of eating disorder, and it's been a messy journey, along with 15 years history of bipolar disorder and trauma recovery.
I do have to admit that I kind of see you as an anti-diet culture advocate, and having such a smart and educated being as yourself on this side is so helpful, as well as the fact that you do take a stance and aren't afraid of voicing legitimate, scientific and social criticism.
I feel kinda uncomfortable with people who walk on eggshells when it comes to talking about dieting and all that, as if celebrities or influencers didn't make money on putting other people in a mental place where they will make decisions damaging to their health.
And also thank fuck for the internet, I didn't come across voices like yours where i'm from (Poland), so hallelujah to youtube lol.
Thanks a bunch, I'm really looking forward to the intuitive eating video.
Thanks so much for sharing
Would love to see you do a video about PCOS or reviewing a PCOS diet! I'm still coming to terms with my PCOS and trying to figure out ways to manage it through better eating
I've done a two part blog post on PCOS treatment here: www.abbeyskitchen.com/pcos-diet-part-1/
I LOVE the bullet points you add to your videos. Thanks!
I hesitated to click on your video because of so many UA-cam experts blasting Stephanie! I was pleasantly surprised with your review, I learned a lot from listening to you.
I was holding on a full drawer of size 2 clothing for the longest, some of them with the tag on! The first step in accepting my body was to donate that stack! I am a size 4-6 and loving it now 🥰
How do you know you’re eating intuitively versus overeating as a habit?
This!
Not eating bad foods. Eat whole calorie dense foods that are healthy.
Overeating as a habit is being passive and not thinking twice about what you eat and how it makes you feel. Eating intuitively allows you to recognize if whatever you're satisfied already from what you've eaten, if you're bloated, if what you're eating is beneficial or not.
When we overeat we can tell, because its uncomfortable. If we are eating to an uncomfortable point on a daily basis, then we might not be truly listening to our hunger and fullness. There are many reasons we overeat too, it can be triggered by stress, lack of sleep, over exercising, or eating a small variety of foods. But if you feel comfortable but satisfied at the end of a meal most of the time, then you probably are eating more intuitively. (though its important to mention there are many other parts of intuitive eating outside of hunger/fullness)
I doubt this will help you but I started just waiting till I got hungry and keeping myself busy
For the Q&A - how to you manage pre-diabetes without diet? By just intuitively eating? It really seems like intuitive eating is meant for people who are already a healthy (or perhaps below) weight. Overweight or obese can’t just rely on their body’s cues many times. Mine mis-signals all the time.
Awesome! I was waiting for this! Thank you Abbie xxx
Mair Potter enjoy!
I actually screeched when you said hypothalamic amenorrhea. My doc is doing labs to test to see if I have that along with PCOS and outside of my doctors apt I had NEVER heard it before. Your videos came into my life right when I needed them ❤️❤️
YESSSSSSSS! I have been waiting for this😊😍
Pamela G enjoy!
Love the pup sleeping in the background
Magdalene Laginya hahaha yes
'The more you control your food, the more it controls you'. This sentence just get me... Thank you 🥺
This video was incredibly informative and explained a lot for me. I had a period of intense stress basically all last year and I have hyperthyroidism. I was basically restricting calories without conscious thought because I was so stressed. It went on for awhile before I realized what I was doing and I had lost like 15 lbs and I’m not a very large person to begin with. I got to a point where I went from having no appetite, no libido, hair falling out, nails cracking and no energy to being absolutely starving all the time. When I finally felt hungry, I ate and have continued to eat. And as I’ve gained back weight and started supplementing with vitamins on my doc’s order I feel SO MUCH BETTER. It literally never occurred to me I was starving myself basically. I’ve gained back some weight and feel so much better.
Yay I was waiting for this !
Syd&Cooper Vlogs enjoy!
Abby, I just had an oh my god moment watching this. In my teen years, I stopped having a regular period and was put on birth control. My gynecologist thought I had PCOS. At this time I was hiding an eating disorder that no one in my life knew about. I went to my gynecologist recently and she did blood work and said I no longer have PCOS, if I ever did. What if I never had PCOS and stopped getting my period because of my eating disorder? This seems entirely possible.
You did an AMAZING job on this, Abbey! After my diagnosis with hyperthyroidism, my gyne diagnosed me with HA. I experienced all of those symptoms she mentioned, including amenorrhea. It was one of the darkest times in my life! Even my gyne was baffled that I was experiencing HA because I did not fit the “eating disorder” criteria. I have been receiving treatment for HA through hormone therapy, treating my thyroid issues...and am a changed person. I also get giddy about how amazing the human body truly is!!! Xo
Amanda Hamel amazing !
I always love your take... this was really interesting! And I love the touch on intuitive eating.
Alice Olivia soon?
I was so excited to watch this. Stephanie rocks & so do you!!
She is prioritising her health, energy and future fertility over aesthetic goals and being thin! We all must do. I wish I could take the time back and never do strike dieting and crazy exercising. Sorry to my body! I am experiencing tons of problems after that though... All of those stress...
Idiots who put "thin" in quotation marks are the reason so many people are so goddamn FAT.
Yes
Thank you so much for it this video 🙏🙏 Truly needed this! ❤️
Abbey thank you soooo so much for this video. Thanks to that I realized I still have an unhealthy relationship with food and body and now I can think about recovery. I had depression for most of my life, mild one so no one noticed. And finally a year ago I started pharmacological treatment. It changed my life for the better. But in a process of lettin go I gained 10kg. I didn't even notice because I was happy. My clothes stopped to fit me :D And then I pulled myself back into this unhealthy circle. I started to obsess about weight, food, body. Trying to diet and exercise as much as I can and then binging and feeling guilty. I can see it now. it's so hard to let go :( Thank you! I love your videos and voice of reason
Thank you so much for sharing and good luck with your journey.
I’d love to see a video on Abby Pollock!!
Kiersten Allison OMG YES!! Abby got me to watch this channel! ❤️
Could you please do a video on pcos and diet, as it seems to be very common with young women these days . The common misconception is that it makes you overweight but myself (and have met quite a few other girls like this) have actually struggled to keep my weight up with it and all the info out there is for women with pcos to loose weight not those of us who struggle to gain it. There's so little help out there I get confused on what type of diet would be best /what foods to avoid.
Love your videos!
leah jenner for sure. I’ve written a blog post on it here: www.abbeyskitchen.com/pcos-diet-part-1/
Lean pcos is so frustrating because we can't loose weight and fix our symptoms :(. I even tried strict low carb diet for a year with no results, and it was horrible trying to keep my weight up!! I wonder if there is some connection to being underweight and pcos, because my symptoms are always worse when my bmi gets too low.
@@chaolinchao8332 It would be very interesting to find out if there's a link between underweight and PCOS symptoms (or period symptoms in general). I've never been underweight, but my period symptoms were horrible when I was significantly overweight. I've had relatives that said their symptoms were terrible when they were underweight or eating way too little.
michelle khare did a video with a woman who also has pcos. while that woman did want help losing weight, they have a really good talk about what your body needs and what your body is doing with pcos. there is a dietitian there talking about everything too! highly recommend. good luck!
@@chaolinchao8332 I know! It's like we can do the super low carb /no sugar healthy diet to help the symptoms but then our weight gets too low making the lack of periods /infertility worse! So frustrating how all the info is help for losing weight! I know there really needs to be so much more research done as it's so common now!
This is such an informative and 'eye opening' video, love this kind of encouraging videos ❤️
YES YES YES. Also, the start of this video had SO much good info that I wish everyone knew as common knowledge. Thanks for this :)
Haley Burrill thanks
@@AbbeysKitchen This entire video is gold. Thank YOU!
I love Stephanie Buttermore because her journey showed me how toxic the fitness industry really is. Fitness "gurus" and youtubers that focus mainly on diet for content seem to be the most critiqued online. It is so dumb to judge people on diet when theres so much conflicting information regarding diet. We are in a period of time were we have an abundance of access to food. Our bodies have not adapted to this. Our bodies still work as if we have to search for food. People attack obese people and not obesity. She looks amazing
I would love to see a video about how to lower those set points healthily!
threehundredquirks I’ll address this
Thank you for making this video!!! so interesting & love your insight!
Wow... I am SO GLAD you did a video on this... I don't completely lose my period but I go from a 5 day period to a 3 day period and get a lot of those symptoms (plus a short temper/easily annoyed and frustrated) when I am trying to lose weight (after babies). I knew losing or shortened periods were common, but I never knew that is was something to be concerned about!!!
Kerri Higgins oh yes definitely
Question: What's the best way to start eating intuitively?
J Chantale Sutherland thanks! I’ll share these answers in my intuitive video
Just listen to your mental and physical hunger and respond to your cravings.
@@annapomelo3818 My cravings include some amount of milk chocolate everyday, usually at least 100 grams of it. How does that fit into a healthy eating habit?
I highly recommend looking up "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
@@EudaemonicGirl I think 100g of chocolate is a lot. People usually have cravings on sugary stuff when their diet doesn't have enough of natural sources of sugar (like fruits) or not enough of protein. Try to eat that and see if you still want eat chocolate. Personally, when I eat enough of protein and fruits, and don't even think about chocolate, cookies etc.
12:25 how she’s celebrating someone else’s achievements 👏🏽♥️
Ugh Abbey, I absolutely love your videos and appreciate you sharing your professional opinion on these topics. I find them really helpful! I can't wait for your intuitive eating video. It's something I'm really interested in and I'm looking forward to hearing someone that I trust and know will have evidence and experience behind them introducing me to it.
awesome
Wow, this video really got me motivated to get my period back. Thank u!!! 🙏🏻
