This is almost exactly my routine when I was deep into my ED. Back in those days Tumblr was the place to go for this kind of "advice". The thought of another vulnerable person watching vids like hers for "fitspo" makes me so sad

I'm totally relating too! I've lost over 30 years of health and happiness to ED. Mine was type 1 diabetes specific, so I have serious long term health complications because of my desperation to be "thin enough". Therapy didn't help.... no one had really recognised diabetes specific ED yet. I was too ashamed to be 100% honest with anyone. I finally orchestrated my own recovery by focusing on "healthy mind, healthy body". These vids help my daily battle! 😊

This video was far beyond extreme. The normal ones you react to have at least 1300 calories which is still pretty unreasonable but this one tells young girls how to bring themselves close to death. Another extremely dangerous thing in this video was using high levels of water to cope with hunger. While drinking plenty of water is awesome on a normal diet, for someone who barely eats, the water will deplete the already dangerously low levels of electrolytes and minerals in the body.

1300 calories is not unreasonable; it all depends on the person’s height how many calories they have to consume.

be for fucking real. as if eating disorders were a silly diet to hop on and off anytime yoh feel like it. people need MEDICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP, not shame and ostracization.

i was almost put into psychiatric care to be treated for my anorexia, i ended up having 2 simple partial seizures, and i was still eating more and exorcising wayyyy less. this girl desperately needs help before she kills herself doing this

TW ED! Just sharing part of my story. Watching this video felt so familiar- and I hope that she can break out of it. It's hard to watch, but I've been there. A few years ago I struggled with anorexia athletica and exercised 6-8 hours a day, every day. I starved myself the whole way through it. So many people in my life were either aware of the harm I was doing and afraid to intervene or supportive because they were jealous that I was "so athletic." A year or so after I fell into a more binge-restrict cycle, and even now I still catch myself trying to force myself to work out when my body clearly needs rest. It takes a lot of work, but I'm beginning to actually be conscious of my body's needs and cues while I try to rework my motivations for moving my body. Good luck to anyone else struggling out there. It's not always easy, but you *can* find a healthy relationship with food and your body. I know it. ❤ p.s. thank you adam for reminding me so often that my body and food are not the enemy- you're doing great work :^)

Wow they should of said I don't eat. I drink water and over excerise. Saved everyone the sadness of seeing it.

If she’s still eating this way she’s going to end up in the hospital, or worse. I almost lost my life to an ED, it is not worth it!

Oh my goodness, this reminded me of a 500 calorie a day diet I was put on by a doctor years ago. It was such a miserable experience. That doctor isn't allowed to practice any more.

Oof I was like this in HS. It’s taken literally ALL of my twenties to heal my relationship with food. It’s still tough at times but mindful eating, therapy, and self-compassion have been life changing. I hope she starts her healing journey sooner rather than later. ❤

This was me in college. I are just enough to not pass out walking to class and then ran my guts out. Thank you for these videos. They help so much.

This is the tough love we all need right now ❤

Thanks for making this video. I used to have bulimia and used to obsessively exercise. I'd be like 130-140 pounds and still think I was fat. It wrecked my body badly, I still have health problems from it to this day and this was 20 years ago. Also, it's very likely if she chooses to resume a normal lifestyle she will gain all the weight back. Slow and steady wins the race.

Oh my, flashback to my 20s when I did stupid diet as such and at 93 pounds thought I was overweight. Love your channel thank you for making great videos and letting people know that we must be healthy and not just skinny ❤

Last time i had a bout of anorexia/eating disorder i was really really upset. I was going through something emotionally and i just started fasting. I fasted for like 3 days straight just water and coffee NO fruits or food . I ended up in hospital because i was in horrible pain, when i was there i did a pee sample and ny pee was brown / black and the nurse said i was in ketosis and if i dont leave the hospital and eat something decent im going to ruin my kidneys ....... I didnt even begin to start dealing with my issues untill a year after that happened. Thats the worst part of the story. I had to roll into the deep end and get sick of living like that before i decided to begin recovering.

yeah this is how you end up with organ failure. it doesnt even take this much of an extreme tbh. so dangerous i hope she gets help

Yeah I lost weight not cutting anything out its really just all about moderation. Too bad it took me like 4 times to finally get it right!!

I went on every diet possible because I was desperate to get rid of the excess weight.

@@nicolefranjevic5380I’ve done intuitive eating for a while and I’ve never been close to overweight(closer to underweight) when COVID hit i started going on 2 hour walks daily and lost 10 pounds. Despite being at a healthy weight and very active my grandpa can’t stop making comments whenever I eat anything with sugar, or eat a lot of food at any meal. And they’re very clear you should lose weight comments. And lately I’ve gotten into the habit of skipping breakfast and having a light lunch mainly because I can’t find anything easy enough to make for breakfast, but also now his comments are actually getting to me and now it’s partially for weight loss.(I weigh 125-130, depending when I weigh myself, and im 5 feet 7 inches)

I'm really glad I found Addams videos. I've been in recovery for years now but it's not easy to stay on track especially when you see things like that everywhere. when I start to get into an unhealthy mindset I get reminded of what you've said and it's helped a lot. Thank you ❤❤

Yikes, this poor girl... Absolutely terrifying. I worry so much for my daughter when she gets older, and can only hope she stays away from videos like these and this toxic mindset. On a side note, I skip most breakfasts: but it's because I'm genuinely not hungry. I work late and don't eat until get home, sometimes around 11-12. I'm normally not hungry until after I get home from the gym, or just later in the morning on my rest days. If I ever AM hungry, you best believe my ass be eating that breakfast, though!

No need to worry if you're teaching her about health and food and just generally building a good relationship with her. So she's more likely to talk to you about diets and weight loss desires etc and take your advice about how to do it safely.

I'm so glad i started going to a dietitian. I'm overweight, overwhelmed and have a lot of fear of food. I struggle with binging. This is something i would be following if it wasn't for my dietitian. I just want a healthy relationship with food. BTW if you have insurance check and see if they will cover it. Mine covers 100% 1 session per week for as long as I have them.

I would really like to know your views and opinions on bariatric surgery. Post surgery and weightloss dieticians advocate 800-1200 calorie diet as maintenance calories. What would your approach be towards someone who has had surgery to getting back to a realistic level of eating and whilst also maintaining weightloss. As statistics show that many end of regaining the weight around 2-5year mark.

This reminds me of the "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" thing

This is literally what I did. It's so shocking to look at it from a new perspective.

As someone who is recovering from a ed and (sadly) a young person, what this woman is doing was exactly what I did. We need to spread awareness so this doesn’t happen to more people, firstly by stopping these creators from posing harmful content like this. Thank you Adam for posting this video.

I see these and I feel so sad for these people. I know how miserable I was when I was this deep in my ED. I never admitted publicly what I eat in a day though because I didn't want people to be concerned for me. In my head, I was doing "just fine" but other people "wouldn't get it." But deep down I knew it was because I was doing something very dangerous and I didn't want anyone to try to make me stop.

Brb! I have to do all this!

also as someone who needs to drink a ton of water everyday, you need to supplement with salts and electrolytes otherwise you're just flushing all the minerals out of your body, which can be literally life-threatening!!

In Dutch the word "diet" or "dieet" sounds the same as "Die eet" translated as (they) who eats. So it reminds people to eat during their diet.

I'm 27 and I still have an eating disorder. I either binge eat or I only eat a small amount of food and exercise too much

Absolutely

and not a single vegetable....

This is so sad. This is like half of what i would eat at my worst! After i had my first child my eating got to the point where i stopped producing breastmilk, my periods stopped, and i couldnt get pregnant again when i wanted to. I improved my eating and got pregnant again a year later and even though my diet and exercise was normal, i still needed iron supplements during my pregnancy.

the way im literally gonna do it

I would really appreciate tips if anyone has some currently I go to XC practice in the morning skip breakfast skip lunch go track practice have an hour of rest go to my other track practice then eat like a 300-400 calorie dinner does anyone have some tips on helping me to start feeling hungry again? Because I’m not eating because I don’t feel hungry

it's scary too that even her single 'proper' meal doesn't look nutritionally balanced - she's running on sugar and water and eggs

I used to barely eat. Like- 1 meal a day MAX and mostly either drinking too much water or none at all and only like coffee and stuff. I still struggle. Although my question is.. is this like..an ED? Because now whenever I try to eat I get really nauseous very quick..

I have a question about those of us who don't like to eat until around lunchtime. I have my coffee with creamer or milk then eat at about 11:30 or 12:00. As long as we hit pretty close to our calorie/protein targets is that okay?

Omg reminds me of my 500 day diet before a performance weekend. Walked like two hours, did yt workout vids and ate 500 calories morning and afternoon ans nothing in the evening.

O…my god. Ya I don’t eat breakfast most days as I just don’t feel hungry before noon. Never did. But this child eat maybe one meal a day (with all meals combined) and train like a professional athlete. It looked like a K-pop diet and it’s distressing. I don’t know how much she eat and I’m not going to count to prevent triggering but oh my god. I can’t even get to the person like that. I know being disturbed won’t help but I can’t help feeling like that. I’m sad.

I’m guessing she is a teenager herself, who posted this.

Sadly, this isn’t just unhealthy, people will most likely gain weight even faster, if they don’t eat or barely eat. I feel bad, I’m old enough to know what my sister did, even if she started gaining weight after leaving a tox!c relationship, I’m just happy she’s healthy. I’m struggling and used to have her as my role model because I had no one else to look up to, since most of my closest family are overweight or obese. I’m happy it wasn’t too late before I followed her path too far.

my 12 yo ass coming for an advice on how to loose weight really fast (idc if it's dangerous)

I’m sorry, I know it’s not meant to be funny but this made me laugh so hard.

I'm confused why she points out that she doesn't eat rice or "junk" food when she already showed us that she only eats bread and eggs. Like obviously they are not rice or much of any other type of food

This person is trolling, they're trying to get somebody to starve/hurt themselves on purpose. Her video should be banned.

There's no way she would've had engergy to workout!

I skip breakfast because I'm not hungry in the morning.

Man. This is how I eat when I'm having a really bad executive function day, and people are doing this to themselves on purpose?

videos like this make me sad. This is the kind of shit i'd have fallen for & tried to emulate when I was 13-14 years old. I would tell myself all sort of things to justify it. From "I'm not that hungry" to "i don't have time to eat". Now I see how ridiculous it is. The fact that people are putting out this content thinking they can actually "help" others is disturbing. At least Adam's voice is cutting through the noise a little bit.

Yikes. So sad that so many young girls probably watched her video and are trying to copy that now

Make a good breakfast or its definitely gonna make you crave for more, I experienced it ;-; and you end up thinking about food all the time

If they like eggs so much make a quiche with spinach, mushrooms, either chicken, black beans, turkey, ham, or bacon, pan fried butternut squash, and a hashbrown crust. This is ED advice and behaviors. I've been anorexic for too long to put up with this bullshit.

Bro! Wtf was this? I really hope it was satire or something because no way😭

I’d say maybe 500 calories but this is definitely ED behaviors.

This is anorexia. I really hope she got some help

Thank you for calling it what it is. Anorexia!

I’m thinking this is probably just another case of a person being dishonest on the internet for views.

As a recovered anorexic, I ate and exercised very similarly to the girl in this video every day for months. I ate maybe 500 calories a day and ran 3 miles every day. When you are determined to be skinny at ANY cost, you will do whatever it takes to get there even if it means you are exhausted constantly. It is 100% believable for me, and I just hope she gets out of this mindset.

So she succeeded, and you say that if she continues down this road she'll die... Well that's a bit dramatic. It's like telling someone who slammed on the brakes to avoid a crash that if they continue suddenly stopping like that, they'll wear out the pads and need an expensive visit to the mechanic...
