“Your body is craving carbs because it needs more fuel” 😂😂😂 babe my body doesn’t need 1000 calories of French fries

Colleen cracks me up because, if you watch her videos closely, she NEVER shows herself actually swallowing any of the unhealthy food she's trying to get other people to eat.

You're not losing it, it's exactly how they think. They're in a recovery from restrictive ED echochamber and they want to be the thinnest girls in the room. They're not even speaking to the actually millions of overweight and obese Americans. They're only speaking to other thin women obsessed with being thin and with food like they are.

Just like the McDonald's CEO that doesn't eat his own 'product,' dieticians don't follow their own diet advice.
In real life they are *extremely* selective of what they eat.

On the carb cravings. Brussels sprouts are 75% (net) carbs. Sweet potatoes are 90% carbs. Black beans are 73% carbs. No one with a “carb craving” is ripping open a bag of Brussels sprouts and demolishing them by the fistful whilst standing over the sink. They’re craving refined sugar and processed snack foods. Which is fair. That’s tasty stuff. But it becomes an issue when someone says “you need carbs to live, so honor your carb cravings” when there’s only some very specific carbs being craved, and they happen to be the ones creating more cravings and worse health outcomes.

Colleen is the worst. Her offensive depiction of BED behaviours (eating with her hands, food all over her face, basically acting like an animal) is VERY telling about her own relationship to food.

When I was much younger, highschool age, I had a friend that was very slim and cute and  I was the heavier one with acne and hermoine hair. When I started losing weight and putting effort in to my appearance she gradually stopped hanging out with me. I found out later in life, through mutual friends, that she liked to have me in the group because I made her look better comparatively. These dietitians give me that same vibe.

“It’s so controversial to say it’s ok to eat food”
Every other ad I see on tv: gEt your trIpLe dEcKer doubLe cheese macaroni fondue chEeSeburger today!

it’s like they don’t get that overeating is also an ED!!! and one that 3/4 of this country has

The whole “you can’t perfectly count calories” thing always feels beside the point to me. Like… yes, obviously. But if your estimates are consistently off in the same direction, you can still calibrate around that. If you tend to overestimate burn by a bit or underestimate intake by a bit — okay, then adjust. I do not need calorie tracking to be exact. I need it to be consistent enough that my estimated intake and estimated burn, over time, move me toward my goal. That is the actual point.

okay but colleen cuts the vid immediately after she put the cake in her mouth, i bet you she promptly spit that bite out.

They don’t like it = disordered 😂

what you assumed about a lot of influencers that are on the thinner side wanting others to continue eating and gaining weight is SO TRUE.  as someone with an ed and who was immersed in an environment with others who struggle with eds, it is pretty common - but not exclusive - of people with disordered mindsets to feel better when other people around them eat more or are bigger

Abby is promoting built bars and eating $10 boxes of protein cereal and complaining about how fitness influencers are promoting expensive products... 🙄

I have BED and it feels like it isn't taken as seriously as the other EDs. If I ate whatever I wanted and didn't worry about gaining weight, my insulin resistance will turn into diabetes.

As someone that has been on both sides, had ana and then swung the other way into overconsumption, these hypocritical "anti" diet people piss me off even more than the fat acceptance. Thank you for exposing them.

Ever since that Washington post article came out 2 years ago about the dark money that the  HAES/ Anti Diet Dietians have been taking from big food companies, I cringe even harder when I see these people. THEY ARE GRIFTERS

something that makes me mad about these anti-diet dieticians is that how they disparage people when they’re pursuing any kind of weight loss, even in a healthy way. losing weight is such an important, personal, and vulnerable decision to make for yourself when you realize you want to be healthier. and actually losing weight is a difficult process that needs a lot of determination and focus. for these women (most of whom who have never had to lose weight before) to discount and demonize that is so disgusting
