video description
Symptoms of Orthorexia Does Freelee have it? :
Elimination of entire food groups in attempt for a clean or perfect diet: Yes, but it is truly healthy. Otherexics cut out things that actually help you.
Severe anxiety regarding how food is prepared: No? She doesn't care how her food is prepared as long as it's vegan.
Avoidance of social events involving food for fear of being unable to comply with diet: She obviously doesn't cut out the entire world.
Thinking critically of others who do not follow strict diets: Yes and no, she's an educator.
Spending extreme amounts of time and money in meal planning and food choices: She doesn't spend any more money on her food than any other person would. Also she's eating lots of RAW food, so it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to peel/prepare the food.
Feelings of guilt or shame when unable to adhere to diet standards: She's stuck with it for many years and she hasn't gave up yet.
Feeling fulfilled or virtuous from eating healthy while losing interest in other activities once enjoyed: You should be happy you're eating healthy. Is it a crime to be happy and healthy? She obviously didn't give up activities she enjoys either, she still bikes and runs and does things she loves.
So is Freelee an otherexic? Absolutely not.

Freelee, you seem to no understamd the reason why you're being called orthorexic. It's not because you're vegan, it's because you're on a super low fat, low protein, high carb anti-GMO, anti-processed foods, super low sodium diet. Your diet is excessively and unnecessarily restrictive, as backed up by real science, not the pseudoscience you love so much. There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating 20% fat or even more. There is nothing wrong with consuming more than 1000 mg of sodium in a day. There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating more than 10% protein. GMOs are perfectly safe, and claiming they're not pushes for more unnecessary animal testing. Freelee you have absolutely no self-awareness. Just a few years ago you were making videos claiming that cooked foods made you sick and raw monomeals healed you. Now you're eating cooked foods again and you're obviously not sick. It's because you're deluding yourself into thinking that if you eat differently than this super restrictive way that you're eating, bad things will happen. Thats why you're orthorexic.

It's not the popular opinion that All vegans are crazy extremists, first of all. I know plenty of vegans, vegetarians, raw food people, etc. who are fine. Nobody thinks you're an extremist because you eat plants, everybody with half a brain can see that YOU'RE an extremist because YOU take your diet to an unhealthy, obsessive, bizarre extreme. If I didn't know what veganism was and saw one of your videos first, I probably would come away thinking This is an extreme diet/lifestyle, so. yeah, you're the one that's giving veganism a bad name. You help feed into the Vegans Are Crazy Extremists stereotype with your own shit. Get help, dude, you don't even look close to healthy. Your body looks stressed out.

Yeah, if you ate 51 bananas a day you'd get plenty of protein. However, you would lack most other important nutrients you need as well. Balanced diets and exercise are important, not veganism. Yes, you can live a very healthy lifestyle as a vegan, but that doesn't mean you can't do the same thing even easier on a diet incorporating the right amount and type of meat.

take advice from people who are getting the results you desire Tons of meat and dairy eaters who are way healthier than you and in way better shape lol so i think I'll take their advice instead of taking advice from an anorexic who excessively exercise

Well if you can't be naturally skinny without being accused of having some secret diet. Then you freeleethebananagirl can't be healthy skinny without being accused of orthorexia. Sorry but you're full of shit just like everyone else.

Do you even have the required qualifications to be giving this crappy advice on diets and nutrition? Ask most proper nutritionists/dietitians or even a doctor and they will also say its unhealthy. I think you should educate yourself.

if you have to make multiple videos on how your not orthorexic then you probably are. But here's just a suggestion, if you want ppl to stop telling you that you are go see a professional and debunk this.
