Alexandra Cane

[Babysnark]

Literally so many of us on this thread knew this would happen... honestly hope she hasn't caused serious problems for any of the girls following her shit plan and advice.

So no FOOD then Alex? She is so unwell... trying to portray this happy independent lifestyle... not a chance is she happy. She’s so lonely

Has she put ‘to-do list’ on her to-do list??

 

[accts20]

That's so irresponsible for her to say I'm absolutely gobsmacked

Same here.

650 is “super high” if you are restricting yourself to 1200 odd calories a day, which I am certain she is still doing.

not only that, she even offers suggestion on how to make it lower calorie.

if she had just written 650 with no comment on if it’s high or low, that would be fine. Or even better, to say 650 “but don’t focus on calories, this dish is nutritionally balanced and great for your energy levels.”

not because if Alexandra cane or any of the others, I’ve started getting obsessed with counting calories and I know it’s just going to spiral out of control

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this

I am going to be very blunt with you, and tell you that this is precisely how my ED started. By focusing on calories and nothing else. A plate of food would just be numbers to me. No nutrition, no fun, no enjoyment in eating.

the difference is it seems like you have got a great level of self-awareness from early doors. You are already checking yourself and recognising your feelings,making predictions of what this can lead to. You are already on the right track.

I know it seems scary, but the best thing you can aim to do now is ditch the calories - they are your trigger. Start recalibrating your relationship with food. Remember how it feels to make a delicious dish and enjoy every bite, feeling full and content afterwards, no guilt or worry about the numbers.

it is easier said than done, and there may be slip ups, but I believe this is a good goal to try and aim for. I could write an essay on this but I will say that my inbox is always open if you need to speak to somebody who has been there, no judgement (I’ve done some crazy things during my ED) and full support to you. Xxx

I knew this would happen!!! Happens to almost all if the celeb diet videors. They get skinny, blast about it like it's the best thing that's ever happened. Sell it and force it on their minions and make it seem normal and then a couple of years later come out with the whole "I wasn't happy being skinny" kinda thing. I called it last lockdown, although I definetly didn't see it happening so soon

I don't follow her so I've just been catching up this morning.I unfollowed her in the summer as I felt she was sending dangerous messages and it wasn't the kinda thing I wanted.

so she'd gone from a natural size 12 and the whole "love your body, be kind to your body, love yourself no matter what size"... to a size 4 of over eating and exercising andsending the message "eating is greedy, move your lazy body", to abother contrast of "be fit and happy"...... who is she really.... she doesn't know herself

Dr Alex dodged a massive bullet

 

[accts20]

Really sorry to hear so many of you have struggled/ are struggling.

She is the only influencer I have ever I followed because I was instantly triggered by her image.

I too have suffered with various EDs. The image that made me unfollow was one of her laying in a bikini, ribs sticking out. I’m so ashamed to say I felt overwhelmed with jealousy. I instantly unfollowed. It made me angry and upset to know I felt jealous of her look.

I feel like if you’ve had an ED you see it in others. To me her problems were obvious from the start.

I’d never wish an ED on anyone. It’s a trap. One that I feel you never truly get out of and it’s repugnant that she is influencing young girls into disordered eating behaviours.

I couldn’t have put this any better. I too saw signs of her ED developing, especially in her YouTube vlog where she had no scales to measure her oats, and instead of saying screw it, she decanted her oats into 10 separate bowls to get rough calorie numbers.

Also when she went to a restaurant, and brought her own steamed veggies to eat.

the reason I feel no sympathy, is because she was pushing her thoughts onto her followers and even now is up-selling the very plan that made her develop disordered eating/exercise habits. I could never do that and don’t understandhow she sleeps at night.

She defo convinces herself/believes she’s done nothing wrong.

So sorry to hear you are also struggling with an ED, it can feel so lonely but you are not alone and I’m here with you xx

I also believe her 10,000 calorie challenge was the perfect opportunity for her to binge under the guise of ‘educating’ her followers. So patronising and little regard for anyone but herself.

God I hate that dancing she does to the camera. How very, very sad

It’s the smug face for me.

also, if it is “pure joy”, why feel the need to record yourself and post it? What is this personality type? Is it narcissistic or just incredibly insecure?

 

[Its_Me]

That is, quite possibly, the most, CRINGE thing have ever seen on Instagram

 

[Randomlyorange]

That post reminds me of those people who location tag the hospital and then when someone asks what happened they say “I’ll dm you hun”

 

[Rodney2208]

A workwear haul on her YouTube... loooool Does she not realise that I’ve not stepped foot back into my office since March and we are about to go into another lockdown!

 

[Noradora]

I love the people like ‘this isn’t really on Alex, be kind’
So it’s not Alexandra canes happy body plan? Who’s is it?

 

[Its_Me]

Basically, nothing has happened, she’s just craving attention.

 

[Its_Me]

If she’s going to be ‘raw and open’ then she needs to be HONEST about the fact she led others on AND give them back their money they paid for her shit programme! This is so damaging! It’s breaking my heart reading your ED stories and thinking how many others out there following her advice! I’m literally fuming I would be suing her if I was a mother of a young girl who had paid for her programme! I dunno on what grounds but I would find one

 

[Tammy8888]

Sometimes I feel sorry for the girl, she is clearly unwell.. but then I have to remind myself that she continues to take money from vulnerable girls buying her disgraceful plan.

 

[AllSeeingEye123]

Any guesses as to what MILA stands for?

Must I Lie Always.

 

[champagnemami99]

As a plus size woman I took this skinny womans "look at the size of my tummy be comfortable with it" post to be really REALLY annoying.

She is flaunting the fact that she is very very skinny, so even when her belly is bloated, she still looks aesthetically pleasing/ attractive to general beauty standards and not 'fat' by any means. Again, another polished, well-planned post to show her in her bad time (like the crying video) when actually she is posing and eye-fucking herself.

 

[Sickofinstacrap]

honest to god, this girl, that’s a fucking spot, impetigo is crusty, it’s weepy, it’s not circular like that, the skin breaks down, it’s painful. She drives me up the wall. Where are her friends? Her family? Surely one person in her circle can smack her across the head and tell her to cop on for the love of god

 

[Tammy8888]

She is an absolute beg, I noticed that when ever she is looking for a product (one example a £400 massage gun) she keeps leaving comments on brand page like “I need” “in love” in hope they follow her back and offer her a freebie or a collab

today she is at it with a Luxury Maldives resort, “i want to visit” lol well then pay and book it & stop begging it ffs

 

[Blakelycakey]

‘I’ve been keeping myself to myself lately’ Has she got fucking memory loss or??? I know more about her life than my fellas at this point View attachment 416305

Her smug face in this picture like fuck off! Your words and images do not match! She’s a joke! She’s discussing a very important and heartbreaking subject why do we need a posy smirk to go with it! Cannot take her seriously!

 

[Dont swipe up!]

She really does love herself doesn't she

Again I repeat my comment from a above
She is fucking LONELY AS FUCK!!!!!

 

[accts20]

Her response to a follower asking how many calories in her porridge...

650 is not “super high” and god forbid the girls reading this start thinking that they’re eating too much for breakfast

this is how it starts.
