I am convinced that 99% of those videos are staged. As well as the "morning routine" videos.

I was wondering why your channel is relatively "small" considering how long you've been working on it and I think I know why. You dont share popular ideas or bend to what is attention grabbing. But for those of us here, we cant find content like yours anywhere else and I hope that is encouraging to you. Thank you! ❤

I agree with you. Our culture has become obsessed with physical appearance, perfection, diets, etc. It has become idolatrous. Personally, I find that putting firm boundaries on what I allow myself to view helps me to avoid being roped into these trends that aren’t healthy at all.

Everything is available to me but I will be a slave to nothing. We have become a society of extremes. Deep, lasting health and happiness is found in moderation. I enjoy butter, heavy cream, lots of fruit, veggies, whole foods. I love baked goods! But I don't eat the whole pan. I've maintained a healthy weight and relationship with food for my entire life. Why? Because I was taught moderation. I'm very thankful to my family for raising me this way.

Very disturbing indeed ! I have stopped following certain youtubers because of this exact problem....thank you Jennifer for KEEPING IT CLASSY 👍

[ariaemily]

To be honest, I am amazed at this video. I was expecting an angry woman criticising everyone of every little thing possible, but you actually had really good points and you conveyed them so well without seeming too harsh and negative. There is so much more I could say but just well done I'm really happy I hope you have a good day : )

The Madame Chic books changed my life especially about eating. I will thoroughly be enjoying tacos for dinner tonight!

[carolthomas]

I agree with Jane Buckhart - do these people really eat what they claim to ? Also these are not family meals - these are meals for someone who is self obsessed . A meal is a social occasion not a laboratory experiment .

I just had to pause to say your hair looks gorgeous today. Back to the video :))

Thank you for shedding some light on this YouTube phenomena - some of them are way too personal to be of general interest to the viewers. I have noticed that some of the channels dealing with critiquing the eating videos of others claim to be "dieticians" and I am shocked that they would violate medical ethics when they get into using another person's video to harass them about content. A few days ago I watched the video you referred to, the first time I viewed that channel, and my overwhelming reaction was, "how dare you abuse this woman so publicly!" The general definition of a dietician is: Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. Who gives them license to use a public forum in this way?

I SOOO appreciate you calling this out. Immodesty is not classy! I admit I've fallen prey to thinking I can count on someone's advice by the way they look. I will say however, you are in the fortunate percentage of people who eat in moderation and see results. Those of us with insulin resistance usually need to take a stricter approach for two reasons: Our bodies aren't as adept at managing carbs and sweets without consequences, and having carbs and sweets can actual trigger addictive behavior where we can't stop. Those might be reasons people need a stricter approach. I have in the past year begun IF in a similar approach to yours and I'm working towards more regulation of carbs due to pcos.

I’m in recovery from anorexia and The reason that I like making what I eat in a day videos is because on the days that I’m struggling to eat I feel like making a what I eat in a day video so I “have” something to eat for. Idk if that makes any sense to you but it does to me. It helps me 🤷🏼‍♀️ & when I can’t decide what to eat sometimes I’ll watch them to get some ideas.

I am excitedly waiting for my mug to be delivered! I noticed the trend right away as you scrolled. Something else to remember is that thin does not always equal healthy.

your house looks so clean in the background I just love it

Great message Jennifer. It took me years to be able to enjoy food again after my autoimmune diagnosis. In the days when I was desperately trying cure my disease, my focus was mainly on which foods didn’t hurt my body and cause pain. Pleasure was certainly the last thing on my mind- avoiding pain was my top priority.

I’m very compassionate towards those still on that journey. I pray that they too will one day cure their food related issues and enjoy food again. ❤️

[suefrack]

I agree, and it's not just food ads, it's in car ads, furniture, you name it! What a skimpy clad woman has to do with any of it is beyond me. The world is going downhill fast!!

Whatever you eat with joy will be digested with joy and received by the body with joy. When we eat with joy, one rarely overdoes it. Love your channel. Well done!

[carolthomas]

It’s me again . I’ve just remembered something I was brought up with, “ don’t eat anything your grandmother wouldn’t recognise “ . Now I’m that grandmother
so it’s real food for me .

[elinamason]

Beautiful Jennifer saying beautiful things. So true! Enjoying the moment, not wishing the life away.. so easy and so hard to do.

Another/probably number 1 reason why these videos prominently display very scantily dressed women in their thumbnails is b/c there is an enormous male audience on YT who watch certain YT videos not because they have any interest in the content of the videos but b/c the videos feature one-step-up-from-porn content or images.
