Normally, I’m a bit wary on reviewing peoples “what I eat in a day” videos, because there can only be so much said within 1 minute and 30 seconds. However, when a follower approached me with this video, I felt led to review it just because of the persuasion she was trying to portray on “ if you eat like this, then you will weigh less”. I truly believe in bodily autonomy and that is a huge part in everybody’s nutrition. However, when a diet like this is going viral, I feel, as a registered dietitian, that it’s my responsibility to warn against possible adverse effects that could happen by partaking in a diet similar to this. Even though she consumed an adequate amount of calories, I was not a fan of the macro-distribution throughout the day. For the general population, a diet this high in carbs and that low in protein and fat, would result in not feeling the best due to blood sugar dips and highs. Even though she’s eating a quite a bit of fiber, the blood sugar still needs proteins and fats to help regulate it. Not to mention if you struggle with insulin resistance or have diabetes, this diet could have even more negative effects. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not negating the fact that she’s eating a ton of micro nutrients and fiber! I love that. However, we don’t have to have an all or nothing mentality. A healthy, balanced and a well-distributed macro-distribution throughout the day can help maintain a good blood sugar balance, as well as feeling satiated. #nutrition #health #fitness #whatieatinaday #WIEIAD #review #education
