The thing that I can't stop thinking about is how EXPENSIVE his diet and supplements are! My beans and rice could NEVER

Is no one going to talk about how this guy called his smoothie 100% plant-based, then proceeded to talk about the animal collagen that was in it? 👀

So! This is COMPLETELY unrelated to your video, but I feel like you would love to know :) My husband and I recently adopted an adorable Akita named Keto. Any time you say Keto in any of your videos, he walks up to the TV because he wants you to pet him. Well, he took it a step further today and began looking for you around our house. He REALLY wants you to pet him :) You have officially won his heart❤️

This guy hitting all the buzzwords every other sentence actually sounds like a parody of healthy eating lol

Thanks to Bobby, I’ve learned so much about ingredients and what nutrition labels mean. I don’t follow all of his recommendations or his way of eating, but I find a lot of his videos pretty informative. My health and nutrition journey actually started with his channel. So I’m very grateful to him for that.

Thank you for your review, Abby. I love how respectful you always are.

We're living in a world with an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc. Being conscious of reading labels and focusing on healthy foods shouldn't be seen as a disorder.

But i still do want to mention that Bobby Parish is indeed a quack. The vast majority of his advice isn't based on any science whatsoever.

I have fatty liver disease and I downloaded Bobby’s app and followed it and within 6 months my liver panel was back to normal!! He has helped me so much!!

As the child of a mom obsessed with being fit & healthy, I can confirm how much the well-intentioned demonizing of “unhealthy” foods messed up my relationship with food, body, & self. I have memories of sneaking candy as a small child because I thought it was bad & shameful. So grateful to be unlearning those beliefs! You have helped me so much to neutralize food, & I feel so much more free now! Thank you! 😊

As a type 1 diabetic, there's nothing I find more irritating then when people call a food 'diabetic friendly' because it's low carb. There are 2 things wrong with this: 1. type 1 diabetics can eat carbs!!!! We just have to match our insulin dose and insulin timing to the carbs in the food we eat, so we can literally eat anything everyone else can. 2. if a diabetic does choose to go low carb (which is totally their right and should be decided on personal preference, NOT what other people think is best for you), these foods still aren't 'diabetic friendly'. In the absence of carbs, protein and fat affect blood sugar levels, and a type 1 diabetic will instead have to calculate insulin ratios for protein and fat, rather than carbs. Can we stop seeing 'diabetes' as a one size fits all disease?!

Abbey, women like you are the reason I decided to switch my career and study dietetics, you're respectful but show them the facts, debunk harmful "Wellness" "facts, " and you're just overall strong and knowledgeable. Thank you so much :)

I feel like the man's diet is mostly powdered and "processed" for someone who cares so much about the words "natural" and "organic"

[edwardwilliam]

Bobby has pioneered the education of common people about how to read labels and make informed food choices

[kyla]

I know you're gonna get backlash from this and probably from Bobby but I agree 100% and it makes me really upset to see a parent talking about food that way in front of their very small child. I hope she grows up to have a healthy relationship with food.

[katsasi]

I personally like some of the tips Bobby has. But I also have found myself at the supermarket saying, “this would not be Bobby approved, but eff it, it’s what I can afford!”. This was a reminder that balance is key.

[bextree]

I grew up with a dad who has a very similar attitude toward food as Bobby, and I even followed Bobby's videos every week for a few years, and while I'm glad I developed a taste for healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, I would have REALLY preferred to have my parent be less obsessive about what we ate. It made me really anxious about my food choices, and like Abbey said, once I did get the chance to eat what I want, I went wild and ate just about anything that I hadn't eaten before. I'm fortunate that I didn't develop an ED, but I did have an unhealthy relationship with food and I'm glad I have a much healthier relationship with it now. To this day though, I still deal with health-related anxiety because my dad kept hammering the importance of how certain foods will prevent cancer and others will cause it every single day. So, I do believe there is definitely something to be said about how obsession with clean eating can have detrimental effects on one's physical and mental health. Also, I wasted a lot of money as a broke college student on simultaneously trying delicious "unhealthy" foods I'd never gotten to eat before and grocery shopping expensive "healthy" supplements and powders and oils to "counterbalance."

[amandaesposito]

He’s nothing but an overpaid salesman! I used to watch him but he’s just way too obsessive! Who packs a whole suitcase full of food to take on vacation to Bulgaria? Orthorexia! He also gives out medical information he has no business giving out!

[Val-nvui]

I hope his daughter doesn't grow up to have an unhealthy relationship with food. I feel like I would be terrified of food if I was raised around this kind of talk

[miszer]

Watched this entire video abby .
I’m still a fan of Bobby and appreciate his efforts on trying to help us be more aware of purchases at grocery stores.
Personally, I have learned so much from him and I’ve made a lot healthier choices for my body since I began watching his videos months ago (while working out).
I’ve made great progress since then and still now.

[danams]

Okay, as a fellow dietitian-nutritionist who enjoys your videos, this is one I've been waiting for!

[kerisallee]

If hear him say “best in class” on more time I might choke myself on those dumb mushrooms.
