00:00Just a reminder every single thing that you put in your body will show up on the outside of your body
00:05This influencer got kicked off tik-tok for asking
00:08Is it a sin to want to be thin Liv Schmidt is a 22 year old influencer who built a platform sharing tips
00:14Tricks and testimonials on how she stays thin while working a nine-to-five office job in New York City
00:20Tik-tok shut down her account which had over
00:23700,000 followers for violating its community guidelines on promoting disordered eating
00:27So why is Liv's content being called dangerous and harmful by some critics while others flutter comments with gratitude and praise with some even
00:35Subscribing to her skinny group community chat for nine dollars and ninety nine cents a month
00:39I'm gonna show you guys what I eat in a day to stay slim lean fit
00:45One main reason Liv's tik-toks got so much backlash was for her blatant glorification of malnourishment and her outrageous
00:52Tips like sharing food instead of consuming an entire portion and bragging about fitting into
00:57Kids-sized clothing to save money at designer stores Liv describes herself as not naturally thin and is skinny by choice
01:04According to her social media posts
01:06She works hard to maintain her size and she enjoys sharing her methods with her audience for me and my personal aesthetic
01:12I like to be skinny and there's nothing wrong with that
01:14She claimed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal weight is a touchy topic, but that's what the viewers want
01:22There's no questioning Liv's devoted fanbase
01:26But there's just as many haters who are happy to see her account removed from tik-tok creators and commenters with a range of experiences
01:32From nutrition professionals to personal trainers to people recovering from disordered eating are all reacting to Liv's hyper focused thin
01:40Spirational content you're telling your followers how to stay skinny and promoting being skinny all the time is leading to negative body image issues
01:47While many detractors consider Liv one of the countless creators on social media with a fitness obsession
01:52She considers herself different for one major reason. She doesn't really care about health. Just being skinny
01:57She told the Wall Street Journal. I think the reason I'm so successful is because I don't have any food off-limits
02:02I'm not dairy-free. I'm not vegan. I'm not gluten-free. I'm not a health freak
02:06I saw this on tik-tok somewhere someone was like skinny is the new Birkin and that's so true because not everyone can have it you
02:11Have to work for it yourself
02:13While it's shocking to hear speak about being skinny in such straightforward
02:16Matter-of-fact terms her statements don't contain any pseudo health claims or wellness manipulation tactics
02:22Unlike most of her peers on social media who preached that thinness equals health Liv doesn't really care
02:27She just wants to attain her beauty ideal and help other girls do it, too
02:30The way that eating has been portrayed on this app is actually so
02:34Frickin scary if the live Schmitz of tik-tok making people think like oh
02:38This is how you stay skinny doing this and this and this which is not the way you should think all the time
02:42Even though she's been booted off tik-tok Liv is just as active on other platforms
02:47Including Amazon storefront where she earns Commission by linking her favorite skinny girl lifestyle products for her fans to purchase
02:54She doesn't feel any remorse for the content that got her banned because the way she sees it
02:58She's just saying out loud what many weight-conscious people are thinking and feeling so whether you think her skinny lifestyle videos are
03:04Aspirational or completely cringe just know that potential rage baiters like Liv Schmidt are turning those views and clicks into cash in the bank
03:11Kate replied there's nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
