Folks wowwweee wow wow my mind is blown! I don’t know why I didn’t think about minty coffee or coffee breath. These are things that apparently do not bother me / I don’t notice lol but morning breath on the other hand terrifies me clearly lol 😂 I just cannot start the day/talk to people/ see people that way. Haha. Like I’m thinking about it right now and again cringing in discomfort haha so funny.
I guess I am in the minority on this on! Thanks for the lively debate as usual friends ! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

“Emma could try ground beef”
Emma 2 second ago: “I’ve been vegetarian my whole life”

emma has actually had some serious issues with food in the past. i think shes doing amazing!

Registered Dental hygienist here! I’m glad shes brushing afterwards. Coffee stain is such a pain to get rid of. Wait 20ish mins post coffee because acid from the coffee needs to dilute a bit before you brush. Same rule of thumb applies to women with morning sickness, don’t brush right away! Your scrubbing the acid around! I recommend a pH neutralizing mouth rinse as well! The acid from the coffee can also be neutralized with a fatty creamer!

Hi! Advise form a dentist here 🙋🏻‍♀️The most important part of brushing your teeth is the brushing itself, what breaks the plaque is the mechanical act of the toothbrush against your teeth, so if you’re going out for breakfast you can brush with only water and no toothpaste paste and then brush with toothpaste after breakfast.

[annat]

I brush my teeth after the coffee because (1) coffee tastes weird directly after toothpaste and (2) I feel like I have 'fresher' teeth when then leaving the house 😁

[olithetwist]

Definitely coffee first, otherwise you’ll have coffee breath all morning?

[cassthegodslayer]

I had an ED and have been struggling since recovery to try to eat healthy but not restrict. These videos definitely help with my education and call out toxic habits. Love Emma's laid back approach too!

TW: Disordered eating.
I used to think that maybe some of these weird celebrity/youtuber diets were strange and bad, but not *really*harming anyone. But the other day my cowoker came in and was super distraught bc his daughter recently became obsessed with Chloe Ting. He noticed that she drastically started cutting her food and was getting anxious about having a single donut on Sunday mornings after church. He and his wife are going to have her work with a sports dietician so she can learn (from someone who's not her parents because what teen wants to listen to her parents) about healthy balanced eating. I sent him some of your videos so he can leave them on the ipad for her. Thanks for what you do! It matters!

Coffee tastes like shit right after tooth brushing
Also I brush my teeth after coffee and breakfast so my breath doesn’t smell like food and coffee when I leave my house...

I think the reason why Emma is so relaxed and balanced in her approach to food, is probably related to her history with disordered eating and body dysmorphia. She has mentioned it on her podcast !

[thedorkettereads]

Part of why I love her video on Harper's Bazaar is because her audience tends to be pretty young so she's combatting a lot of the "wellness" rhetoric without really even trying.

[nimahazam]

i really dont think this is accurate to what she actually eats in a day because the videos on her own channel give vibes of extreme undereating plus it looks like she's losing more and more weight but idk

[Hazeydaze]

I think she was brought up eating very healthy food so naturally goes for the healthy options

[julib]

how does her mug match her shirt so perfectly???!

[Amber-bbbi]

I absolutely love dietitians like this. She’s so relaxed about eating healthy rather than obsessing over the macros. Very positive influence :)

[denicepedersen]

Love how shes like “she could shift from beef to mushrooms litte by little” aften Emma was like Said she was a vegetarian haha i get that it has prob meant in general bit still funny

[mollymullen]

you make me feel so much better about my eating habits and i appreciate how you focus on the good ingredients in all foods rather than the bad. thank you so much!

[meganleave]

Abbey - in response to your thing about foaming milks, Emma drinks iced lattes, not hot ones. The little coffee clips they put in there are deceiving lol

[christinaarundale]

Honestly I feel like the images they used when she was describing her coffee aren't the most accurate bc (and I only know this bc I watch a lot of her videos) she uses the califia brand almond milk and doesn't froth it or use it in hot coffee, she just mixes it all together with ice in a mason jar😁
