Registered dietitians warn against harmful and inaccurate weight loss tips circulating on TikTok. These 'healthy recipes' often demonize carbs, promote unrealistic expectations, and can be triggering for those with eating disorders.
From cucumbers dipped in stevia to Cool Whip ice cream, these"recipes" are proof that you shouldn't rely on TikTok for diet advice.As a 32-year-old journalist with a master’s degree in nutrition, it’s pretty clear to me that at least 90% of the nutrition advice onis total garbage. It’s rife with young, thin influencers showcasing their daily meals in an attempt to “inspire” others to eat like they do.and triggering for those with eating disorders .
“When influencers create videos saying something is ‘healthy,’ not only are they not factual but they are usually harmful,” said Sam Previte, a dietitian and the owner of Simply scoop out the seeds of the cucumber, TikTok says, and fill the cuke with some cream cheese topped with everything bagel seasoning. Voila! A low-carb bagel!“This speaks to both the cultural demonization of carbs as well as misunderstanding of what a nutritionally balanced, medically supervised ketogenic diet is,” Harbstreet said.
It’s no wonder that the young, impressionable TikTok audience falls for food trends like this since many are willing to go to great lengths to lose weight or be “healthy.” As evidenced by this list, there’s a lot of unnecessary fear of carbohydrates, and this crazy stale cheese trend is just another misinformed attempt at eating fewer carbs.
