On social networks, and in particular the TikTok platform, influencers offer products and diets that are supposed to have spectacular effects. However, some tips can be dangerous for your health.
To lose weight before summer, it is not always easy to know what to put on your plate. On social networks, advice for losing weight is numerous, with diets more dubious than each other. “Most of the time it’s effective in the short term. From the moment we deprive the body of a single nutrient (…) inevitably, there is a deficiency, the body adapts by destocking”, explains Adélaïde d’Aboville, dietitian nutritionist. According to her, it is normal to lose weight, but during this time, “we damage our kidney, our liver”.
Tips that pay off big for influencers
In these videos, it is said that it is possible to lose fat on a particular area of the body. But in reality, it doesn’t work that way. “Fat is one and the same organ. When you lose weight through diet, you can’t know where the weight will go”, confides the nutritionist. Influencers give false information, because the gain behind can be significant, with the sale of their slimming products, for example and these products are only available for sale via social networks, as asserted by an influencer who fights against scams. Videographers can earn huge amounts, thousands of dollars, selling unhealthy slimming products and programs.
