A dive into the disturbing world of 'diet cults' - a recent trend prevalent on social media.
The goal of this video is to highlight the fundamental flaw with 'diet cult' mentality.
Nutritional misinformation, fear-mongering and an elitist mentality around food, has serious consequences so mainstream awareness of this growing trend is essential.

why are you then providing information on fat LOSS, while according to to your video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6pmZ6yTt9-ypmQ.html) you've struggled with muscle GAIN. So you're probably way different from the people that want to lose fat, and so you might just be adding to the confusion :(

@arnijulian6241 Ай бұрын

Never dieted in my life though have done ketosis as it is a metabolic state & not a diet as I was instructed by my GP to do so for a time which the benefits were minor to modest. The One thing I always limited my consumption was sugar though I halved my starch consumption replacing it with fat, fibre & other food sources as I aged because I can't sustain what I once did as a child or young man. I think one of the leading causes for people weight gain & poor physique is one reason being 'sugar'. I never had a sweet tooth like most while my mother was the opposite which she mimicked my eating habits in time & lost multiple stones though she can't help but eat chocolate for hidden sugar she is far better off. My rule is the same as my Cockney elders which is ''waste not, want not'', ''you are what you eat'' & ''variety is the spice of life'' What Most do is they think their is 1 super food & they waste so much in their pantry because they buy fruit & vegetables they pretend to eat fooling themselves. If it is quality grub & not the same thing every day then I eat it though I have no sweet tooth making my life easy. You have to break that sweet tooth as my brother is of the same genetics to me but is overweight. People tell of the health issues of smoking, alcohol etcetera but I'd argue excessive sugar is the real life ender.

Years after I was still in a cycle of sports bulimia and binge eating, I tried veganism, was scared of "unnatural" food. In my 30s now I've given up on the idea that I'll ever fully recover and be able to eat normally, I still count calories but manage to stay at around the same weight although I'm vulnerable to phases stress eating or subsisting for coffee for days.

Some people think drinking soda and eating JunkFood with a meal of self cooked veggies once a week is balanced.

We have a toxic diet vulture that’s often about restriction when it should be about what do I need to eat everyday to support my physiology. The CICO model needs to emphasize how metabolism plays a role. Your metabolism will slow following a long term calorie deficit and regular fasting protocols. It’s effect on hormones will make it even harder to lose weight and u can’t cut calories indefinitely. Also makes binging more likely, insatiable cravings from a major energy deficit

@zerrodefex 2 ай бұрын

Your body is not going to start creating fat out of thin air, it will though force down your energy expenditure making you slower and lazier. This is why deficits cannot be extreme and also where diet breaks come in where you go back to your new maintenance for a while and let your body stabilize before starting a new deficit.

I got very ill from arthritis 12 years ago. I was on crutches and exhausted. Every dick head with an opinion on my lifestyle and diet came out of the woodwork. I realised if they blamed me for getting sick because I was "eating the wrong food" then they could believe that they will never get sick, because they are eating the right foods. It's a defence mechanism they use to deal with their fears. And some sociopaths see that and create diets to take advantage of those fears

There are people who genuinely want to help others. Some of those “dickheads” may have been sick themselves at one time and healed it through diet. Diet does affect illness. Consider they may have been offering you a possible solution for your pain out of empathy. I don’t doubt it would get annoying to be offered constant “solutions,” but assuming everyone has selfish reasons isn’t productive.

What dealing with anorexic and orthorexic behaviour has taught me so far is: Fats, Carbs, Protein all have use and can be part of a healthy diet. Constantly thinking and researching what foods to rule out and what foods to eat for optimal health can be a lot more stressful and harming for a person than eating food that is not very nutrient dense occasionally or even for a burst of time. Whenever I slip into a Burnout I tend to not eat anything except for protein bars e.g because the immense irrational fear of "unhealthy" foods overshadows the rationale of eating whatever being more healthy than not eating. I now have learned that eating industry bullshit is not healthy but far more healthy than starving (surprise) Frozen veggie blends safed my ass because you can pop them in the microwave for ~10 minutes and you have a bowl of steamed veggies ready to consume. Also a well formulated multivitamin taken with something fatty like nuts will be beneficial for anyone not having the energy or mental capacity to eat vitamin dense foods (a lil fat makes fat soluble vitamins far more bioavailable for absorption, which can be essential for some kinds of vegan diets)

@@npplscorpion eating disorders are not about the physicality of eating exclusively, yet people can develop aversions to the physical process that it feels impossible to them. Telling a person that to their dear life obviously struggles with eating, let alone eating a nutritionally sufficient amount or complex of foods just to eat real food might sound reasonable but afaik it most likely isn't (to the extent of my personal experience with ed and what I observed in others). Of course I and everyone with brains would wish for those people to do the "obvious" thing but that's very far fetched for people very acutely struggling imo. In the end what I talked about were harm reduction strategies for when any other option feels scarce. I hope this clarifies my point and sheds light onto perspectives some eating disorders folks might share :)

Nutrition isn't easy, but I feel like many of these diets stem from inner denial and cognitive dissonance of what you really have to do. I know it sounds basic, but eating less (especially of things like soda and mcdonalds) and exercising more really are the answer. Not cutting out entire food groups, depriving yourself of nutrients, or doing weird cleanses you got from a shady influencer. It's hard work to change your habits over a long period of time, but it really is the answer. I'm not perfect, I still have lapses where I eat a crap ton of cupcakes at a party, but over the past year I've finally worked away from my stress eating and binging and I've started making homemade meals and exercising 1-2 hours a day. I really enjoy and look forwards to daily nature walks, and I'm not constantly thinking about food as much. To all those out here who are struggling, I'm rooting for you! You deserve to take good care of yourself, and you deserve a healthy life!

I've been thinking pretty much the same thing for a while now. I was a vegetarian for 6 years and I gave myself anemia lol. I know vegetarianism has helped a lot of people, but it wasn't for me. In truth I was using it as an excuse to hide my eating disorder and excluding foods just fueled the fire. What works for me is everything in moderation, no food is forbidden, I just eat more of the healthy foods. Right now I'm at a point in my fitness and health journey where I don't need to loose any more fat, I'm so happy with my body and what it can do, so I find it easy to tune out all the noise of all these fad diets and cults. The people who fall for this are at a vulnerable time in their life and like you said, looking for control or also want to have a sense of purpose and identity, and it is so sad how many of these influencers are taking advantage of that. There are also the influencers that believe their diet actually IS the best diet and get sick and lead others to illness.
