Why I Won’t Post “What I Eat in a Day” Videos

The psychological component of an eating disorder is based in negative thought patterns. The brain has deeply rooted neural pathways often triggered by food or certain images that continue ruminating negative thoughts like “If I eat that, then (something bad will happen)”

Individuals with EDs also tend to have black and white thinking. Foods are good or bad. Bodies are good or bad. There is no comfortable gray area. These individuals have highly disciplined thinking and many have the capacity for great restriction. The neurobiology of those with specific EDs have unique characteristics which contribute to psychological and physiological alterations.

WIEIAD videos are often recorded by individuals with a very specific body type and size which tend to correlate with genetics, affluence, and very often disordered eating behaviors.

Videos depict one day of carefully curated events, outfits, and eating. Those with EDs are highly sensitive to the triggering content.

Large-scale clinical studies have proven that Each Body responds to food and supplements in a Unique and highly Individualized way. Weight, metabolic function, fat distribution, muscle density, and muscle mass are all unique to each person. This is why some people maintain a healthy weight and blood profile with one type of diet, while others do not. In other words —what one person eats in a day does not matter to others!

Many nutritionists offer high-quality science-based nutrition advice for the masses, but for those who struggle with ED, the content is too hyper-focused on certain elements of eating. I will continue to offer foods from all food groups which are known to promote brain health, gut healing, and joy. Through conscious eating practices, you will find recovery
