I have a feeling he misunderstood the assignment of what do you eat in a day, halfway through he was just listing his favorites lol
LOL
🤣🤣 you’re so optimistic about him!! I love it!
😂true!
He was stoned lol. So yeah probably.
@@caffpillz - He's not stoned. You don't know how stoned people look and sound. He's not stoned.
This man was definitely baked out of his mind when this was filmed
He doesn’t do drugs or drink
@Daniel Abraham Fun fact; that is a myth. Sugar is not a drug. Not at all. But humans have a preference for sweet taste from the day we are born, hence we tend to want sweets, ESPECIALLY when we restrict them and label them as bad. If you don't add guilt, after a while sugar will just be one of many components in your food.
He looks pretty clear headed to me.
Definitely 😂😂😂😂😂
Dying at Abbey’s suggestion to pair his breakfast smarties with eggs and nut butter toast 😂
Dude, he'd be like , there's gummy eggs too!
LOL
My man Lil Yachty really just mumbled his way through 10 minutes of listing his favourite junk food
😂
Lmao
😅😅😅😅
I was a foster parent in New Orleans and he just described the diet of many people that are raised in "food deserts" in the south. One of my most difficult jobs was to introduce vegtables to teenagers that had never eaten any veggies of any kind. This is a typical "corner store" diet
It’s funny cause I know a ton of people that are grown that never had a fresh veggie. I don’t have fresh broccoli until college
Food deserts are a serious problem, we are lucky enough not to have too big an issue with them in the midwest/heartland but still
Truly sad…I grew up in a 3rd world country (Haiti) and we all made an effort to eat veggies…a lot of us had little gardens… the one country is a food dessert but people in the US are complaining 🙄🤧😮💨 miss me with the bull.
Genuinely curious, in food deserts are there really no canned veggies etc or vegetables in the frozen section of the closest supermarket? Truly just genuinley wanna learn
But also confused because he can afford more now so i think education and parenting is a big part of it
Abby: Is there really a difference between a gummy pizza and a gummy hotdog?
Abby like 10 seconds later: Yellow M&M’s are the worst! Blue are the best!
😂😂
Blue are the best that’s a fact 😂
I love the yellow ones 😂
#allmnmsarebeautiful
I’ve never believed there was a difference and my wife insisted there was. I had her blind taste them and she could reliably identify them. It was bizarre.
When you said "is anybody else just dying for a vegetable at this point?"...I felt that. That's just so...much...sugar.
Yup! 😂
Seriously after this video I went downstairs to eat a small veggie soup as my snack today
@@annalouiseplease I am going to get some Dutch pea soup! Maybe he thinks it is a video about his favourite foods? I legit don't like candy that much. More of a chocolate/cookie person. But my favourite foods are.. eh.. actual foods.
@@online4christ660 that sounds delish! I def think he took the liberty to do something different than the typical and went on his favorite foods tangent. I also am more of a chocolate/cookie person. After my veg soup I ate a handful of chocolate covered almonds ;)
After watching first 10 minutes, I ran to the fridge, frantically scrabbling out some left over salad. And a crunchy apple, becoz I could feel that sugar in a yukky gunk plaque all over my teeth!
I notice that they didn't ask him what his "cheat meal" is. Haha! He seems quite passionate about his sweets.
For sure!
I am very passionate about my sugar like straight up addicted but I’m noticing as I get older its becoming less socially acceptable to eat a pack of Oreos for dinner
Can you imagine if his cheat meal is a salad?
I really like that you are a REALISTIC dietitian
Thank you!
Except for the fact that she rips vegans apart because they eat too much fruit all the time but you can eat all the process shit you want and she’s like no problem do you at least they’re eating whole foods...
@@TheVeganVixenBlog the difference there is that he doesn’t call this a healthy, life changing diet but the fruit-vegans do...
@@TheVeganVixenBlog I feel like she mainly just talks about the downfalls of solely eating so much fruit, (just like she spoke about the downfalls of eating so much candy in this vid) but she’s definitely pointed out some balanced vegan diets as well.
@@TheVeganVixenBlog she just doesnt do that though. she is very fair when discussing vegan diets, but she does explain that vegan diets can be very unhealthy and do not mean you will lose weight, which is what a lot of people think. just like meat eaters diets can be unhealthy.
As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder, you are SUCH a lifesaver and your videos just make me feel a twinge peace with food and myself. I cannot thank you enough, Abbey. You're such a positive example for many teens around the world
Thank you! I am so glad you find it helpful ❤️
Hear, hear! I agree completely. As someone who battles orthorexia, it is refreshing to see a dietician speak in this way.
His diet reminds me of a kid given 20 dollars by his parents on a road trip to go into a gas station for snacks 😂 (no judgement- just sayin’). He’s just living the dream lol
😂😂
I can't stop laughing. He doesn't eat real food, he eats gummies in the shape of food!
😂
He's just listing all the snacks he likes. We can't be sure if he really eats like this on a daily basis
For sure
Yeah I could list stuff like DQ ice cream and cheesecake when talking about stuff I like, even though I eat them like once a year
The dieticians response to his what I eat in a day hand me laughing multiple times throughout the video. She has a fun sense of humor but brought it all together so professionally. This is such a great channel with great information.
😂Thank you so much!
👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿
Omg. Someone must have suggested Abbey to analyze this as a prank 😆
Watched 1/3 so far, but it's hilarious.
Maybe he was having the “munchies “ when they interviewed him.😂
This is how my brother eats but I’m the one who gets food policed cuz he’s a man and stays skinny and I don’t even though I eat healthy.
My brother was staying with me for a week awaiting a second negative COVID test so he could return to the dorms and he ate like all of the sweets in my pantry... some of that shit was expensive man
I'm sorry. I have a video about how to respond to food police if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/lu17qMt7g30/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharp
You’re worth more than that. I’m sorry. I wish you the best ❤️
@Pineapple Owl Hey! There is a person at the other end of your comment. It's not very nice for a stranger (or even a friend lbr) to up and comment on someone needing therapy based on no information. Let alone judge someone's relationship with food and men because they don't like getting policed for what they eat in a family.
Would you like to receive a comment like the one you left? Would you feel like that person knew you enough or was welcome to make a comment like that? How about if you wanted therapy but couldn't afford it, how would a stranger telling you you needed it make you feel?
@Pineapple Owl don’t be a prick
"Who gonna make me do it?!" Sent me straight to god
“Stop it. You crazy.”
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol yeah she goes “like a doctor…” could not stop laughing
I think he forgot it's what I eat in a day not what are my favorite snacks lol
😂
"Thank you for supporting the girl-scouts of America, nothing wrong with a cookie or two." 😆 I love how Abbey manages to turn every concern of hers into a positive.
Aw thank you!
When he mentioned the spongebob gummies.... that's when I lost it lol. First, how is he still listing off candies! Second those are the grossest gummies of all time!
😂😂
Strongly disagree!!! Those gummies are the epitome of childhood and the lettuce (green) part is the best.
Red M&Ms are the best, but yellow are the best for Peanut M&Ms. I can't explain this; I just know it in my heart.
Agree haha I love the yellow and green the best!
😂😂
Omg same!
😂
I believe it's because they are respectively the mascot of those flavors.
I had the “wow I’m an adult” moment when I had a Crunch bar (my childhood favorite) and realized they are disgusting fake chocolate 😭
😂I still love them!
That happened to me too. Someone brought in mini candy bars to work for Halloween a few years ago, and I was excited because I used to love them. Turns out that Snickers, and Milkey Ways actually taste really bad to me now, and aren't even worth all the added sugar.
Trueee I found DunKaroos at the grocery store one day. Was so excited and was extremely disappointed. I really used to think they were amazing.
I'm the queen of loving all the reject candies: circus peanuts, candy corn, Necco wafers, conversation hearts...
@@aubrienader6049 dude I had the same experience with dunkaroos 😭 it was so sad!
I like the girl's comments who was interviewing him, like she was trying to steer him to say something healthy so hard 😅
I know 😂
Poor thing just didn’t want it to be true. 😂
I worked for Frito-Lay. All R&D for flavors is done in Plano, Texas. The maple/bacon hasn't made it to mainstream production. I do think Kettle Brand had a maple/bacon flavor, though!
I'll definitely look into that, thank you!
Cool to get some inside knowledge!
@@AbbeysKitchen happy to send a kettle cooked bag if you’d like to try it
It does sound like an amazing taste though
My favorite thing is when lays has the flavors contest. That’s really the only time I buy chips and I buy ALL the flavors! Lol
And it's almost like you're reviewing Buddy the Elf's diet bahaha
😂😂
OMG, yes!
@@AbbeysKitchen wait...you should do that! I'm thinking... Christmas special???
Abby I can't tell if you're trolling him or he is trolling you. 🤔😂
😂
The thought of breakfast is what gets me out of bed in the morning, even if I don't eat or am hungry straight away I could never relate to people who are like 'yeah I don't eat in the morning' cause they're just not bothered
I love breakfast too!
Breakfast is my favorite meal!
I love a big breakfast. Eggs,slice of toast,hash brown and a piece of fruit or veggies yummmm
Or oatmeal banana pancake with loads of fruits and a little canadian maple syrup 😋
I wish I could be a breakfast person, but I just can't make myself be hungry in the morning 😂
I can't see him eating very healthy or paying much attention to his diet in general, but I do think that this likely isn't an accurate depiction of what he eats for breakfast lunch and dinner, but rather interpreted the video as a way to talk about your favourite foods that you find exciting, which for him was a lot of exotic and interesting snacks
Yes for sure!
Why can't you see him eating anything healthy?
@@MoniMeka I didn't say I can't see him eating anything healthy ever, but overall I just imagine he doesn't prioritise the nutritional value of his everyday diet as much as other artists might, and is more of a eat what I want when I can type guy, but that's just the impression I get from him and a lot of rappers I see when they work in the studio drinking energy drinks and snacking a lot on processed foods (and sometimes drugs) but I could be completely wrong, it's just the impression I get from him
I’m a fan of his. I believe in another interview he sad he doesn’t eat anything other than snacks, and for actual meals he’ll just eat pizza.
His snack list would be my husband’s grocery list if he was in charge of the groceries. Just add some Spaghettios
😂😂
He's only 23 there's still time for him to turn his diet around
Oh my god! He's 23??? He looks way older
@@gracem1231 yep just a baby still
What, he looks 10 years older
@@rewerka1443 naw, he's just tall. Lol
I'd really appreciate a video on type 2 diabetes. Some key points that I think are important:
•Type 1 vs. type 2
•Common type 2 myths
•Reasons why talking about type 1 and 2 interchangeably is upsetting to some people
•Risks that come along with both types
I feel like if you talk about type 2 then it is important to discuss type 1 as well.
-A type 1 diabetic who deals with misguided advice constantly, lol!
I'm a type 2 and there are so many misconceptions about both types.
Thank you for sharing! This is on my list to talk about
@@spidermiss2426 it's so frustrating! Sorry you deal with that.
Please also talk about LADA. My doctor suspected that in me.
My husband has Type 1 (actually LADA @lynncrf), and he cannot stand it when people police his food choices. I mean, don't police people's food choices in general. But he loses it when people ask "are you sure you should be eating that?" like they know more than he does about this life-altering disease he's had for ten years. He's often eating something carby because his blood sugar is low, so he actually needs to eat it to survive. (And the hypoglycemia makes his emotions more volatile, hence the excess rage). Like when a diabetic is hypoglycemic, *do not* get in between him and his carbs.
Just gotta say: yes, Abby! the gummy hotdogs, pizzas, and hamburgers do actually taste different and he's totally right about the pizza being the least good. lol
Totally!
Can you do Michelle Khare? She has a body make over series (extreme body make over) which I would like to hear your comments to 😂
On the list!
Yes, please!
My teeth tingled throughout this entire video with all that sugar.
😂
“You don’t win friends with saaalad!” 🕺🏻Best edit.
😂
Abbey feeling rebellious for drinking root beer and driving. Abbey taking a grown man and his sugar high seriously. Fave episode.
😂😂
This was so much fun! He is a candy master! I love the way you gently offered ways to balance out candy with other foods. 😆 Especially the part where you paired the smarties candy gel with scrabled eggs! Honestly, you made me feel liberated from any shame I feel about my constant cravings for Reese eggs during this time of year. 😂
I'm glad that was helpful!
I demand a series where Abbey reviews people's muchies snack stashes :D
😂great idea!
Abbey looks chill in the video but she definitely sent Lil Yachty a hefty email about his eating habits 😂
Facts 😂😂
No emails here! 😂
The peanut butter ones are addictive. I also like the lemonades
Yum!
🙌🏻
I’m obsessed with lemonades!! Just tried them for the first time...where have they been all my life?!!!
I feel like he’s just listing different types of snacks he likes 😂 there’s no way this is what he eats every day. Right?!
Totally! 😂
Yes, would love to know more about type 2 diabetes especially related to diet and genetic risks.
Also again a great video! And don't know what this guys talking about, I've only felt better after starting to drink tea. :)
On the list to discuss this more!
@@AbbeysKitchen Yes please do this!
Abbey, you are so right. That same experience happened to me. When I was young, I was more concerned about convivence and less focused on nourishment. I ate for "fun" but also didn't really know or think about that food can be fun and nourishing. I remember my school breakfasts was a cookie, _nothing_ or sometimes a cold, dry, white bagel. College was more of the same except add coffee. It was cheap, fast, extremely "tasty" aka quick hit. It was a treat to have a little debbie honey bun for lunch.
My parents both worked long hours, 6 or 7 days a week (they immigrated to the US in the 80s/90s and had to earn their GED; they are SO strong and I love them dearly. They are the best people I know on this green earth). That being said, I was left to my own devices for almost all meals, every day. After elementary school, 5th grade and higher, I found myself having to imagine up two or three meals a day. I was not equipped with the information to make very healthy choices for a growing kid and forget about school or stores around me providing healthy options. I am so glad I found your channel and I just wish I had some information like this when I was growing up. Luckily, it is never too late :) I have had a weird relationship with food since then and it is healing every single day because of you. Thank you Abbey, so much. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and personality. It has literally changed my life.
oh and the Shortbread/trefoils all the way
Honestly watching this helped me a lot, I clicked on while eating chocolate and you not demonizing any of this really helps me not feel as bad about it
Okay but true story I knew a guy in first year of uni who legitimately got scurvy twice. The uni doctor was threatening to come to the dining hall during dinner and watch him eat a vegetable.
🤣
Lil Yachty might end up on Chubbyemu's channel one day...
"A Rapper Ate 6 lbs of Gummy Hot Dogs... This Is What Happened To His Spleen"
🤣🤣
Please review Carb Loaded: A Culture Dying to Eat documentary. I watched it today for my class for P.E and I had some differences. I’m in middle school and I know a lot of girls that have E.Ds (I’m recovering myself) and seeing that was pretty triggering. Thank you!
I'll have a look at that!
...I was shocked but then I remembered in high school I had a cooking/life skills class and the teacher was talking about the ph of saliva being an indicator of health. Apparently basic was good and acidic was bad...
Abbey you did such a great job with this video! I was on the floor ROLLING with laughter. Thank you for not taking this sugar mayhem too seriously!! :)
I love hard you try Abbey to not roast this diet HARD🔥😆 im totally craving som veggies after seeing this
😂
I would love a video on type 2 diabetes please!! It runs in my family, all of the women on my mom's side gets it by the time they turn 40 and it's terrifying me.
On the list to discuss this!
When you said rank m&m s I got a bit angry haha, who doesn’t just shovel handfuls into their mouth at once? I can only compare the different types and pretzel m&ms are definitely up the top, with the caramel ones
😂true!
I was looking for a comment like this because that’s what I do lol 😂😂😂
Shoveling is the only way, lol. Tho I do have to disagree in the best type - pb filled ALLLL the way
No no no no no, peanut m&m’s are the superior m&m thank you
The hazelnut ones are the best
7:45 “Did we find them...?” Somebody was liiiit.... 😅😂
This is the best dietitian review I’m having the best time watching this😂😂
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I guess I'm neutral on the cookie debate. I LOVE them both. I usually stockpile a couple boxes of both when I have the chance haha.
Yum!
Ok. I went to watch the Lil Yachty Harper's Bazaar video. Before the video, there was an ad for a non-Insulin treatment option for diabetes. Interesting....
😂
even the potato chip flavors he likes are sweet (honey bbq, maple bacon)
True!
By the end of the video, I was praying for maybe pizza or tacos or any other grown up food.
Abbey: health, nutrition 🍏🍌🥕🥑🥦🍗😊
Lil yachty: No😐
😂
more like: no ❤
Abbey giving nutrition advice like "add toast and nut butter to your sugary goo" is peak comedy to me :D
😂
That's how i used to eat in high school and no one had an issue with it, except for my mother, until I gained weight. Honestly, idk how i did it.
Maple bacon chips do exist in Canada! They're from the Presidents Choice brand world of flavours collection, you can't find them in many stores, since only bigger loblaws stores will sometimes have them, but they definitely still exist. And they're amazing.
Frozen thin mints 🤷🏼♀️ what can I say?
Whatever works for you!
YES THANK YOU
YESSSSS THEY’RE SO GOOD
He doesn’t eat plants, he just smokes them!
He’s said publicly that he stays away from weed (whether or not that is true I guess is a different story).
@@Milo915 ”One be must aware, that what is being said is not necessarily the truth”
“Chips are kind of cool!” Spoken like a true mom.
Lol so many times! I watched this right after Martha Stewart’s review and it was a breadth of fresh air and laughs!
Him: tea sucks
Me: *sipping my watching this video* 👀👀
😂
My M&M order since childhood 😂
- Blue 💙
- Brown 🤎
- Green 💚
- Red ❤
- Yellow 💛
- Orange 🧡
Thanks for sharing!
Team tan m&ms. They just hit different. Sad they discontinued them. Blue is good though!
Haven't had m&ms for years.... the tan ones & the red ones were my favorites... sad to learn the tan ones are discontinued.
i have no thoughts on that order but.... the heart next to red looks completely blank and white to me. i realise you're probably just using a different operating system to me though.
@@melb1806 I used to LOVE the tan ones!!!
All M&M colors taste the same! Now skittles... that’s different lol
😂
@Pia Olesen all pasta does taste the same to me, apparently I’m missing out on life or something 😂 I thought it was the sauce that made it taste different (Alfredo, meat sauce, clam sauce, etc) and the different pastas were just a texture thing! Lol
This reminds me of some of my family members. I don’t think they’ve eaten a vegetable in 20 years lmao.
😂
I've been waiting for this one!!!! When I watched his interview I couldn't stop laughing!! He is just so passionate about his snacks....
He definitely is!
"adulting can feel like such a disappointment".........giiiiirrrllll...........don't even get me started
😂😂
oh my goodness your responses to all that was amazing! so funny!
Thank you!
This is the best WIEIAD so far. Your reactions. I’m dying. 😂🤣
Definitely thin mint’s 😂 can’t control myself I eat the whole sleeve at once sometimes
Yum!
Same
The random clips throughout the video make my day😂 especially the Michael Scott one 👏🏻
I'm glad you enjoyed them! 😂
As a mother of a type 1 diabetic child I want to say thank you so much for always clearly stating type 2 when you discuss diabetes. if you do make a more informative video on the subject I would love it if you could point out the differences and let people know that t1 has nothing to do with diet. Thank you!
I'm glad it was helpful, and I'll put that on the list!
I think my favourite thing is Abbey showing who much she loves Canada/maple syrup. It gets me every time.
This one made my anxiety off the charts lol. Kept checking my insulin pump to be sure my sugars were in range .. I felt the highs just by watching this video. LOL
Lots of love from Nova Scotia ❤️
😂❤️
OMG this is my favourite one! So many important questions about gummy pizza vs gummy hotdogs etc
Hearing what he eats in a day remind me of high school days lol lived off bagel bites, hot Cheetos and starburst, or any thing candy lol
This was a different level of entertaining.
Also kinda makes me feel super good about my food choices. Lmao
*Bacon-syrup is a classic cmbination for Dutch pancakes.*
Interesting!
Its soooo good! Especially with some melted cheese aswell
Woah I truly hope this is his favorite sugary treats list, not his daily diet list... 😂
I hope so too!
We have maple bacon chips in Australia😋😋
Yum!
THANK YOU! for your comments on diabetes. I'm a type 2 diabetic and so many people have so many misconceptions about diabetes. Mine is a combination of medication induced factors as well as PCOS, not my diet.
I'm glad that was helpful!
Yess this is what I got on the internet for today..
The scurvy thing is crazy! I actually had a friend in college who went through a breakup that left him depressed and he ate only cereal with milk and cookies for several months. He started having a bunch a problems and the doctor was shocked to diagnose him with scurvy as well. It’s crazy that this happens to people with so much access to vitamin C.
Man, I've been there in terms of eating lots more of these foods than my body wanted, and I felt tired as heck. I bet lots of these treats could be incorporated into meals that are healthy overall, like crushing up chips on top of a casserole or mac n' cheese bake. 🧀 Fritos "croutons" on top of burrito bowl or burrito salad are required. 🌯Maybe stick a few of the candies in a mug cake? 🍬
Great ideas!
He's young. Many young (newly rich) people go crazy on a horrible diet, usually alcohol consumption and after a few years get sick.....fatally sick and make changes. There are many stories of that.
i love the nice community Abbey has created ❤️ we need more of this
Aw thank you ❤️
@@AbbeysKitchen omg thanks for replying!! you’ve really helped change my relationship and mindset with food! ❤️🥰😘
“Pair your candy with eggs”..
SUBSCRIBED.
I wasn’t craving a carrot watching this. I just wanted some real food bc I would’ve had a such a headache.
Can you do a video on balanced snacks for kids/toddlers? Or like a what your kids eat in a day? Pls and thank you🙏🏻
I have tons of recipes on my blog you might find helpful! www.abbeyskitchen.com/category/recipes/baby-toddler/
I think they just filmed this when he was a little under the influence and had the munchies.
If I had the munchies, I would want everything he mentioned.
oh my goodness this guys is ME. ive been intuitive eating for a few months now and still can go HARD on the sugary snacks no prob
Every super thin person I know eats like this, it pisses me off so much.
Gosh i know
It’s because they’re technically malnourished since they’re eating but not getting nutrients and/or have a high metabolism which won’t last forever
Oh man! I hate sweets so just looking at his diet made me queasy, haha!
Oh no!
@@AbbeysKitchen It's okay, it was...eye opening. 😂
Thank you for the information about Type 2 Diabetes. I would love more information about the risk factors and some ways to help prevent or correct some behaviors that could contribute to developing diabetes. I have a family history of Type 2 diabetes so I’m trying to give myself a fighting chance.
I agree! I would love in-depth info. My dad passed away from type 2 diabetes. I don’t want to get it. How do I eat intuitively with this condition in mind especially with a sweet tooth. Any and all info you have to share will be greatly appreciated.
I will put this on the list to discuss!
The bit about scurvy made me laugh - on a university work trip to South Africa one of the other students I was travelling with came down with a mysterious illness. Bleeding gums, pale, tired... The person running the training we were there for started panicing in case it was some kind of tropical disease. It turned out he had scurvy - to save money for beer and nights out he had eaten only brown sliced bread from the supermarket for a year! (This was a choice btw, you could eat very well on his beer budget). In the UK at the time (not sure about now) white bread had to be fortified with vitamins but brown bread didn't - if he'd only eaten white bread he wouldn't have had the problem. He was obviously referred to as Scurvy Mike by everyone on the trip for the rest of time.
Wow! Thank you for sharing!
