Yep, I fear she's just going to cycle through her "I wasn't recovered before but now I am!" videos for the rest of her YouTube career, she needs to be talking to a real counceller and go through a proper recovery plan. If she's in a better headspace now then maybe she would actually be able to take their advice
yeah I agree, a few years from now it will just be "i thought that now but..." has she taken those old videos down? she really should if not

im just watching the next video.... so after oz she was worried about her family seeing her in bikinis etc.... could there be any other indiaction they are very toxic?

I think she does seem better mentally and physically than the 2017 video but I still find it hard to believe she's 100% recovered. She still over exercises (even with injuries), she eats very little still (avoids fats still and makes it seem like she eats more with large plates of low calories food) and I think veganism is a way for her to keep restricting in a socially acceptable way.

agreed, she looks better than then, but not difficult as she was SO thin before, but her mentality hasn't really got better imo

This is an excellent point, so often her 'recovery' videos have a before and now photo of her in the thumbnail. I wonder if she is still conflating how she looks with being recovered when in actuality you can still appear healthy on the outside and still have an eating disorder
 
The "eating like x for a day" genre isn't really for me, but it seems like Youtubers usually go out of theit comfort zone more. Someone who creates fitness or bodybuilding content might eat raw, might eat stuff from fast food chains for the day, try to get free food, eat on a really low budget, eat food from another country's cuisine etc. With her food videos and the morning routine swaps, it seems like Holly just picks routines because they are similar to how she lives her life already, which... isn't exactly riveting content 😂

Now, if she isn't comfortable doing something fast food based, that's fine, it's not like you need to be able to eat McDonald's for a day in order to be recovered from an ED. Eating like a bodybuilder could be fun and should be possible to do on a vegan diet, or only eating e.g., Korean or Indian or Chinese food (or maybe from the Oceania region, since she likes Australia) could mix it up a bit... savory breakfast options, cooked food, doesn't have to be the hot kind of spicy but can include more than just turmeric sprinkled on food. I'm not a good cook but like to try new things, and content showing how to cook something can be helpful in that way too (whereas, shocker, I already know how to boil rice and steam veggies). They shop at Aldi a lot and eat a lot of affordable staples, but eating on a budget for a week (where protein powder, a lot of seeds and nuts, avocados etc aren't all easily attainable) could be interesting, too - just to try out something new, not bc I think Holly is sending an especially problematic message in that regard.

I came across a TikTok the other day that went like "when you think you have covid symptoms but remember you're in England and that's just what the food is like" I had to think of Holly's food...
 
She's eating like Molly Mae but doesn't even have her exact food... Wonder what the actual reason is for that?

She said in the video that she wanted to diversify a bit. Obviously she couldn't copy Molly Mae's WIEIAD to the T, since MM isn't vegan, but it was more about taking inspiration from it than exactly copying it exactly. Tbf i thought it was a decent video. She cooked with oil (y) Showed how you can veganise meals, and tried some new things. Obvs it's a pretty good way to get views too.
 
Because Holly's just repetitive and boring with her hideous bun on top of her head and her nonstop running and exercising and repetitive food and so on. We're all speachless xD
Well yes, I couldn't agree more. Why doesn't she stop making these ridiculous videos where she talks about how great she has been lately (which could most definitely be the last 2 days). Her channel just seems like mood swings got a YouTube channel. "I feel great" "Oh, no I wasn't that great back then, now I am" "Oh I'm better now" "Oh sorry that was a lie"
 
I took one for the team and watched her evening routine video !
She made some kind of pasta dish with baked beans and then let it sit while she did the washing up. Just why ! And why leave your main meal ( and dessert) until just before bed ! Make it make sense.

Ew room temperature baked beans. That meal would have been better eaten hot, or even chilled.

I find it weird that she always does all her washing up before she sits down to eat her food.
 
No I guess I kind of clean as I go so never really have that issue, or I'll just pop everything in the microwave for 1-2 mins before I sit and eat!

Honestly I do the same thing - my housemate thinks it's the weirdest thing but I find myself having a much more relaxed, peaceful meal (especially if it's dinner!) if I don't have washing looming over my head lol. Microwaves are lifesavers
 
I have to say I'm really glad for Holly after watching her recovery vid, I'm glad she finally got help and she seems to be in a much better mental state overall.

Then again it still seems to me like she's eating relatively little for someone who's training for a marathon and doing these massive long runs? But I'm really not an expert on marathon training so what do I know. I'm glad she at least seems to be better
