Is it just me or are these people pretty obviously not best friends
its pretty clear
Its clear! they even seem surprises when they discover the other's diet
but isn't that a pic of them together on the fridge? 1:32 *proof*
samantha iacoboni trueeee
@@gaah Imma agree with that.
Can buzzfeed only let people who are really going to do it into these challenges? It is so unsatisfying as a viewer when one person doesnt even try at all.
@Alexis Moser pretty sure they're talking abt the other girl who barely attempted these
Yeah. What’s the point?
Kacti Triplett I know right so freaking annoying 🤦🏽♀️
i don’t understand why everyone gets so mad
Ya but Lara has a chronic illness that prevents her from eating anything
Lara put no effort into this. What's the point of the vid when you barely step out of your comfort zone.
Right? When you think of the typical lazy airhead... its the nail on the head haha
Agree
Plus, because of her condition - nutrition is key!!!!
We truly don't know what's going on in someone's life, Lara has health issues and I think she did the best she could
She has a chronic illness. Leave her alone
On a more positive note, Farah did a GREAT job in this challenge! She actually stuck to Lara's guidelines despite not liking the foods. Farah is also the only person I've seen do these challenges who seems to eat a regular amount and has a well rounded diet.
Daphne yes exactly thank you for being so positive and looking on the bright side! Keep that up you’ll go far in life!!
What’s the point in swapping if you still eat your regular food? 😆
Yana Veligurska ikrrrr
Yana Veligurska yeah they really didn’t try
I understand because for a lot of people, they think that cooking is hard and also, switching your whole diet is hard
@@crometic-3982 For 1 week, is it really that hard?
No more diet swaps for Lara she failed miserably
If she starts out saying she has a pretty restricted diet, then what's the point?
@@recoil53 Exactly, if she can't eat certain things bc of her illness that's fine but then why is she doing this vid?? Does buzzfeed like make their employees do this??
Why do so many people take pride in not knowing how to cook? It isn't hard. Practice makes it easier and knowing how to feed yourself is part of growing up.
Thank you for this comment ❤️
Honestly there’s so much easy stuff to cook- whether it’s pasta with some garlic and oil or rice with veggies. It really doesn’t take that much to cook.
They literally make boxed pasta with sauce packets, and she could cut up some chicken & cook it & add it. Steam some veggies- boom meal
Why’d Lara even do this challenge? She complained the entire time.
like seriously i was like why did they even upload this. and what is her problem she's a complete downer. like was she forced?
Lara has a chronic condition, they have a video on here about her telling about it
@@Pl4n3tVenus I heard her when she said that and understood that the challenge would be even harder for her. But does it have anything to do with her attitude toward the whole challenge to begin with? ( I know how this sounds but it is a real question. Honestly.
To try?❤️
Taylor's Daily Mistakes the chronic illness comes with an attitude on the side
I know that Lara has a chronic illness but why is she such a downer? Some of the foods didn’t seem that bad and aren’t that hard to make. She relies on her protein bars maybe she should start cooking more often so she can feel better?
Doesn't the first part of the first sentence answer the second part?
she's like that in every single video. Even if she has a chronic illness it doesn't mean she has to have an attitude all the time.
@@LiTTleGAmEFreAK1 exactly. I have an illness very similar to her and honestly there is no reason to be miserable as if the whole world is against u, u need to accept how it is and continue to live ur life as best as u can under ur circumstances. She put 0 effort into this video, there was absolutely no point doing this with her
Most people (myself included) that have a chronic illness or illnesses do not always have the energy to cook every single meal or anything at all. We resort to smoothies, yoghurt, easy fix meals; for example: rice and veg or chicken and veg in the oven, salads, etc.
She was rly proud that she cut an Avocado in half ??
This is ridiculous content. Lara basically says from the start she’s not doing it.
she has chronic illness and its very difficult for her to do even simple things because of the pain. i also have chronic illness so i understand why she doesnt do it and it is also very difficult for your body to adjust to a new diet or a different routine
@@beatricetham8517 then she shouldn't be in the video?
@@carolinegrace6500 i know that she shoudn't be in the video but i think she doesn't have a choice as maybe her company asked her to do it or her friend forced her to be in it but i don't really know so....
Beatrice Tham They legally can’t dictate what she eats & she definitely wasn’t forced into it. They literally send out an email & ask Who wants to do this video series or video & ppl respond
Working at Buzzfeed seems great. Lara didn't do what she was supposed to do and there seems to be no consequences.
Lmao!! 😭
Why would there need to be consequences? It’s not that serious.
@@MelissicPerfection It's their job. They were given a task and they didn't do it properly. At any other job, there would be consequences.
It’s good someone said it. I’ve never liked her attitude much in other videos either. I understand it’s hard to do certain things when you have an illness, but it was actually her job to give it a go.
@@fgcfelice true, she could have altered foods to fit around her conditions. Imogen Horton did this sort of thing with her sister, and she altered the foods to be gluten/wheat/soy/dairy free that her sister would normally have and her sister did the same, having GF foods.
I don't understand why Lara signed up for this when she is literally putting zero effort into it or even really participating. It's disappointing.
Lara's diet is so sad. Girl has a chronic illness. She needs to feed her body sufficient nutrients and calories
She even said she would probably feel better if she did Farrah's diet.
Brittany 2H she even said how clean she eats too!
True, but part of having a chronic illness is not always having the energy to cook for yourself. We have to eat a lot of convenience foods unless you hire a home health aid to cook for you.
It seems like she tries to get "healthier" convenient options at least.
What chronic illness?
@@lanaisgod6314 maybe her chronic illness is anorexia. Because she looks like a stick figure. And according to what Farrah ate it was like bird food bits. (Also known as nothing)
I have a chronic Illness that drains my energy, so I get that it’s hard to prepare food after work. Honestly though, Lara shouldn’t have even volunteered for this because she just couldn’t do it and it took all the fun out of these swap videos.
I do as well that's why delivery and meals on wheels exists or shakes with vitamins and a Dr telling you how to eat for your illness since you can't cook . It's called being creative so you don't die
Seriously. Cook a couple of chicken breasts, throw them on prepared salads/greens, and you have a couple of meals. It's not weird/difficult.
100%. I have the same "chronic illness" as Lara, and even if my stomach is cramping, I'm able to either order food, prepare a meal with a heat pack wrapped around my belly/back, or have my family bring me a meal. Part of having an illness includes relying on others. I understand how endometriosis can be crippling, but nutrition is literally your body's bare minimum requirement, and she ain't meeting hers, which would explain her lack of energy.
Lara put no effort into it. She didn't even try..lol not a very good episode.
@@sabbathstd8500 so that's when she should have said I am not the right person for thus challenge
The only thing Lara puts effort into is shopping at target...
Anytime buzzfeed has Lara do a challenge she complains the entire time. It’s getting annoying.
Alexis Black Seriously it’s so annoying. she was such a baby in the tampon video
Julia Cooper RIGHT!!! like why do videos if you’re going to have an attitude and complain
It may be because she's in chronic physical pain, it would definitely take its toll on an emotional & mental level too 🙏
Not only that i cant stand her in anyone video
If you feel tired all the time and are constantly in pain you won't enjoy anything. I have a chronic illness and I have to drag all day. I don't completely blame her. I do think her california accent makes her sound annoying
This was the lowest energy video ever for this channel 😂
I understand that Lara has dietary restrictions, but what's the point in her trying this challenge if she knows she can't participate with any dedication? Also her diet is shocking; celery juice cannot seriously be considered a healthy breakfast? As a drink in addition to solid food, maybe... I get that she wanted to participate, but maybe not the right subject matter for Lara
PSA to buzzfeed employees:
If you’re not going to actually DO the challenge, don’t agree to do it!
This swap was lowkey pointless
Why bother if the girl isn't going to follow anything?
I know right
Farrah: I have avocado toast in the morning
Lara: makes smoothie with a teaspoon of avocado and a crumb of toast "woops"
Hats off to Farah for sticking at it despite the lack of nutritional value.
How can you literally be too lazy to toast bread? It really doesn’t get much easier in terms of cooking stuff. But no, she got a smoothie instead...
i dont like Lara, her „whatever“-attitude really irritates me. When I think that this is the future generation of parents in the US, i really feel bad for your kids guys.
On a more positive note: Love Farrah and her sunny demeanor!
She's not going to be a future parent, her medical condition - the one that puts her in varying degrees of pain - means her uterus won't work.
Lara can't have kids because of her medical condition.
She also has a very limited diet because her condition gets inflamed easily. Plus she's nauseas a lot.
I do think she'd be a better candidate for a different series though. Something where her talents would be highlighted better.
Alright, that makes me feel sorry for her, it’s terrible if she would want to be a parent and cant have her own children.
I wasn’t necessarily talking about Lara only, more like about most of millenials
@@mytoenailjustfelloff8997 that doesnt make it any better? She sucked at the challenge. That's it. Imagine somehow having that mean that all millenials are bad parents lol
I cant help but laugh at your "future generation of parents" line. I'm a millenial with three kids. My spouse and I dont go out often (a few times a month) and we cook almost everything from scratch. We expose our kids to all sorts of cultural foods to expand their palates and expose them to how other people eat and live. And I have pretty severe chronic fatigue. Not sure how ONE PERSON in this challenge makes everyone a bad parent? Idk. Couldnt help but laugh
They were clearly not best friends
They never are in the videos similarly titled. You can always tell
'physically I feel pretty much the same as I usually do' - girl, because you did not swap diets but ate the way you always ate. haha
Lara barely tried I also have a lot of dietary restrictions and I still eat ACTUAL FOOD THAT ISNT PROTEIN BARS AND CELERY JUICE
You feel better about yourself after writing this comment?
@@victoriacavazos8928 actually yes
And lady wonders why she's tired all the time. Your body needs something to work off of. The protein bars aren't going to cut it.
How do you not know where the bell peppers are at the grocery store? 🙄
KashiDoll right?
i love lara but what's the point of doing this challenge if youre gonna put no effort to actually do it??
Lara's ENTIRE brand is complaining. Even outside of videos where she talks about her illness (in which case, plase share your struggles!!)ALL she ever does is complain and put zero effort in whatever the task for the video is. If you can't do the job sis.... dont do it.
Wait, what did the toaster do to the dog to make him hate it?? 🤣
Right?! 😂😂😂😂
That's the story I really want to hear. Preferably from somebody who has inflection in their voice.
Ikr, but then again, dogs are weird 😂
Maybe it hates the pop but just put the dog in another room or something.
Pepper is very bouji🤣(I know her name because I watched Lara's chronic illness series)
Sibilings swap diets for a day?
sad yeehaw me and my siblings would go crazy lol one sister is a vegetarian, the other barely eats, and I’m a runner so I eat lots of carbs and protein 😂
All these negative comments about Lara, can we just congratulate Farah on actually following the diet and sticking with it
People witch chronic illnesses need more vegetables and fruits. Her eating all theses protein bars and frozen empanadas isn’t helping her condition. And what Farrah was cooking wasn’t hard it was really simple.🙄😔
Seriously. Vitamins and minerals AND fiber. Protein bars are decent in a pinch but eating them everyday for a meal? Nope.
*married couples switch diets?* (Just a future idea)
They probably eat the same cus one cooks and two eats so yej
Vladmir Puddin i meant 2 different couples :)
@@tyler-mj6qi OSHI SORRY I'M ST0PID
That would be an awesome idea actually
Vladmir Puddin it’s fine 😂 and thanks
Vladmir Puddin ur not stupid i thought what u thought
Laura literally made her “best friend” starve
Lara: *doesn't do the challenge*
Lara: *complains the whole time*
Also Lara: "ummm, this diet doesn't fit my lifestyylllleee"
This is one of the worst "best friends" swap diets. Pro tip:DONT get lazy,unwilling people to do these types of videos.
Lara literally aet nothing that the other girl told her to eat
Girl, I understand the nausea from chronic pain, it makes sense and I'm sorry about that. But girl, your diet is clearly not helping. I bet anyone, ill or healthy, would get nauseous after a week of eating protein bars and smoothies on the go.
Also can we talk about the fact that "lean and plain" food to some people is prepackaged stuff, protein bars and store bought smoothies? 😒 what?
for a women who constantly mentions her illness, you think she’d eat things that are good for her body, stuff with nutrients and eat enough to actually fill her up.
Farrah is gorgeous.
Can we please give Farah kudos? She did a great job!
who doesn't know how to cook garlic?!
I don't either
Me , but I've seen it done and I could figure it out
Lara "i can eat this but I'm not going to"... girl did you not know it's a challenge?
okay but that chick talking about how proud she was to cut an avocado IN HALF was not cute lmao like what u cant be serious.....
I love this series and I love that you can tell why each pair of friends goes together so well. These ladies give off the same chill vibes and I like that.
The best thing you can do for your body is to feed it well and right--saying that you have a lot of dietary restrictions and then having JUST celery juice or chips and salsa for dinner is really awful for anyone's body, especially someone that really needs to treat it right.
Lara is the human form of that Kim crying meme
Farrah cooks for herself & eats a lot more vegetables. That’s enough to know.
Lara eats nothing but bars & smoothies.... not the healthiest...
"I don't have the energy to cook" - yeah, because you don't really eat? 🤔
I got so confused, thought they were only filming one person cause the food was the same the whole time
Because Lara didn't really try so they only got footage from Farah
lol if no one puts any effort into the video and neither of you actually did the challenge... why post the video?
Its like she wasnt even trying..srsly? Smh,
The whole point is to match/swap each other's diets.. not to mess them up or not even follow them everyday 😕
Lara seems toxic....
I don't like Lara. she spreads so much negative energy. she didn't even try
This was very poorly done. Either commit to the project or find someone else who isn't so unwilling.
Showing us more than 1 meal a day would also come off as more effort put in, like if buzzfeed or the people that throw these videos together could create a better end product that would be great. I'm consistently disappointed when I see such a short video that's meant to span a weeks worth of video. Where are the rest of the meals in day 1/2 etc? Probably scrapped because Lara didn't stick to anything?
10 seconds into this video and Lara looks like stress itself
i’ve never seen a boring buzzfeed video until now
I have gastroparesis and the only thing i can really stick up for is that sometimes smoothies and bars are the only thing i can stomach without feeling bloated and nauseous. Some mornings I'm crying, standing in front of the fridge, taking a deep breath and taking sips of a smoothie is the only thing i can do. But girl... You didn't have to complain the whole time?
Edit: My only con was the negative attitude towards the foods and process. Telling people to eat more or "better" isn't the cure. Eating better can make you feel better but on the inside, no matter what you put in your body - it's gonna hurt. (Personally) My body doesn't process raw vegetables/fruits well so blending it up is recommended for me for breskfast. Fruit puree, smooties, yogurt, etc. So i get that. Whenever your chronic illness can make things feels "limiting" you tend to make your options quick and easy. That's not to say though that she could have at least tried with some positive outlook.
I loooooove these types of videos!
Why am i so addicted to these videos?!
Farah seems like a sweet person and Lara seems to complain about everything. It is hard to believe that they are really good friends🙄
Sometimes you gotta like your own comment to get the ball rolling!
Jerin Antony Xavier I’ve seen this comment on every single video is really annoying
True
Proud of Lara for going out of her comfort zone and trying new things
💀
honestly, what’s the point of participating in the challenge if you don’t follow it? really wasn’t entertaining to watch. lara was complaining the entire time and basically keeping to her own diet
They don’t seem like they’re best friends lol
Farrah is sooo pretty and her voice is so soothing
Love this video!!
I swear there is somebody who has their notifications turned on for all the buzzfeed channels and dislikes them as soon as they pop up. Because literally every time I get on the video it has 1 dislike. EVERY TIME😂
Lara is the type of person you DO NOT want in these As/Is videos !!
Strangers have more sympathy to each other than these two girls with each other
More of these pleaseeee
ok why was she so proud of cutting an avocado in half?😂
Not trying to be rude or anything, but Lara basically just refused to the challenge. Don’t sign up for it if your not going to follow through with it!🙁😤😠
Please keep making this videos !!!!
Farrah’s eyes are soooo beautiful!
"I feel the same as I usually do" well you didn't do much so nothing will change...
Lara eats lara bars!!😂
who else thought of smoothie boy from lara’s ig stories whenever she said she gets smoothies in the morning?
I loveeeeeee this challenge😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hello to whoever is reading this....
I love you,and you are sooo beautiful,and I hope you succeed in everything you do in life❤
Weird that you love a random person
Lisa Hewitt thanks... I guess 😬😑
I’ve got to say, people may be disappointed that Lara didn’t follow through with the diet and that’s fair enough. However, I think it’s unreasonable that so many people are totally bashing her in the comments. There’s no need to criticize her as a person or make judgements about her illness. At the end of the diet both girls took away a lesson which was great.
I love how the other videos were healthy versus unhealthy whereas this episode is healthy versus healthy
What is "healthy" on laras diet?
Niva Raven gluten free siete chips and salsa, gluten free empanadas, celery juice, protein bars, vegetarian protein salad, and the Impossible taco salad
@@robinvasquez93 Her diet is not healthy at all.
First of all:
Gluten is NOT bad for your health. It only makes sense to avoid it in case of an allergie.
And also:
Protein bars and vegetable-juice is a pretty bad diet and has really nothing to do with a healthy way to eat.
This should be an addition from time to time , not the main meal.
Niva Raven Gluten in a mass consumption is bad for you, but it isn’t in moderation. Celery juice, protein bars, and smoothies are a breakfast replacement so they are considered a “healthy breakfast” depending on what you put into the smoothie and the brand of bars you eat. Celery juice helps the food go through the body with the help of fiber (in her case the bars)
@@robinvasquez93 this gluten-thing you are talking about is a conspiracy theorie...
Has Lara tried Zofran for her nausea? I also have endo, and when I’m nauseous, I take Zofran and that sometimes helps.
Farrah is soooooo pretty 🌸✨
Excited for another one of these !!!!! 💗💙💗💙
I love how everyone is just commenting about being first 😂
Ly As/Is ❤️❤️
I was confused when Lara said that cooking didn't work for her 'lifestyle'. It may be because of the illness she mentioned, but she didn't really have a 'lifestyle' after work. Anyone who plays in a band, or plays a sport, or goes to any activity afterwork might find it hard to make time to cook because of their 'lifestyle.' These videos seem to show lots people who refuse to cook, but totally have the time.
I’ll save everyone 7 minutes- the first 5 days are either fails or bars/juice. The last clip is a success. They both didn’t really like the food.
Whenever I watch these diet swap videos I'm shocked by how many people don't cook! I know it's hard to cook elaborate meals every day, but simple things aren't hard! Eating out it so expensive and protein bars aren't a healthy alternative to a meal! There are definitely days when I come home and just cook some frozen potstickers or something, but most days a stir fry or other one pan dishes are easy and fast enough
I love yall
I clicked on this right away 😂
Everytime is see a video of this series (i.e. swapping diets) i legitimately get concerned at how little everyone eats and how restrictive they are with food, to the point where, to me, it feels more like videos about "how few foods can i eat just to get by."--I understand people have their fitness goals, and one of these girls in particular has a chronic illness--but really, a juice, a salad, a couple of pieces of watermelon, and a protein bar? that's the diet?--Maybe a nutritionist or dietician could weigh in so i don't sound like a concern troll--but it really doesn't seem like they are getting enough food/nutrition in a day. I don't know, this might be the last vid I watch of this series.
I feel bad for Lara. Everyone is beating her up in the comments. I understand that maybe she shouldn’t have agreed to the challenge, but honestly, I wouldn’t switch diets with anyone either. I like my routine. I don’t want Lara to feel too sad. ♥️
Cinnamon the Guinea Pig The reason why everyone is mad is because the entire point of the video is to switch diets whether you like it or not. If she was not comfortable with the challenge, them she could have said no, but she did not.
Lavender Hazel
I know, but she probably feels bad that she didn’t do it correctly. I just don’t want her to look in the comments and feel bad over a little video.
Cinnamon the Guinea Pig That’s true.
These videos literally just make me feel bad about myself like everyone in these videos eat so healthy and the SAME thing everyday like how?
I seriously upload waffles every day
Farrah can get that ring.
Edit: Is Lara a toddler?
Lmao!! 😂😂😂😂😂
