And that's the point. She's not got the commitment to stick to treatment plans because what she really wants is something that'll 'fix' the bits of her that negatively react to the lifestyle choices she makes. We've been on this roundabout before.

FYI, ADHD isn’t a mental health condition, it’s a neurodevelopmental disorder. Sorry to be pedantic, but I have it, and it’s something that even well-meaning people misunderstand.
I'm so sorry! Thanks for correcting me, I really know nothing about it. It's interesting because she's only ever talked about the condition during Mental Health Awareness Week or in reference to mental health.
Getting off her excessive 
addiction would help her too but then again, she would put on weight.

I feel like the answer to this is really simple - if you know that some people find the calorie counts triggering (or "an aggressive act" in her words), then ... just don't do the calorie counts? Post the pics and say they're healthy low-calorie meals but don't include the calorie numbers?
The fact that she says she wants to lose another stone “fast, but healthily and sustainable” tells me all I need to know.
She has no idea.

Wow, she really doesn’t get it does she. She’s just completely missing the point. I don’t even know where to start.
I think she’s irresponsible and annoyingly self absorbed/tone deaf but I don’t find calorie counts triggering personally. I understand those who do.
What bothers me more, is as others have said, she is clearly completely clueless about healthy weight loss and nutrition based on her own words (and saying she wants to lose weight fast and sustainably, no idea about protein or how to make food healthy without the nutrition team that probably helped on her books in the 00s, when even they had some odd ideas about nutrition that have since been disproved) and yet is positioning herself as being able to essentially prescribe a diet that other people can follow.
Also her emphasis on how the calorie deficit diet is making her “stuffed to the gills” as a big eater. I get she hasn’t been immersed in diet culture and EDs like many of us as she clearly didn’t really need to watch her weight in her 20s and 30s, but this is some fucked up triggering tit.

We all know calorie counting works just don't post the actual calorie count if you truly care about triggering people. I don't understand how that is complex. Its not even only about triggering, It doesn't really sound like she knows what shes talking about when it comes to dieting so why try to sound like some expert? I don't believe for one second that someone who eats the way she normally does is "stuffed to the gills" on the meal she's posted. Peep the Plenish gift/sponsor as well.
There will be some people who want to see the calorie content though, and not in a problematic way. For example, I know people who have counted calories when trying to gain weight following having Covid and cancer respectively - their appetites weren’t great so it was helpful for them to monitor their daily calorie intake to ensure they are on track.
I suppose there are likely to be more people who will be negatively affected by the calorie content so perhaps their needs should be prioritised. It’s a shame she can’t ‘spoiler’ the information like you can on Tattle.

Does anyone know what happened with mare street market? All seemed kind of dodgy to me and like there was some kind of fun gossip
That was strange - suddenly was just out of it and it didn’t happen. I think there was a falling out.
I don't begrudge someone wanting to document their weight loss journey etc, but I think Gizzi needs to decide whether her main account is a business account, or personal. It's weird to see her 'what I ate in a day' posts juxtaposed with a massive pie and mash dish from her cafe.
Why is the mash smeared on the edge of the plate like that. Looks like it's been plated up by my 9 year old after watching an episode of MasterChef
I wondered that too! I'd prefer school ice-cream scooped mash as opposed to it smeared on the edges.
Seems guaranteed to cause a mess to me, mash on the edge like that.
That's a traditional way of serving pie and mash in London.
That's traditionally how pie and mash is served
snap! just saw your response !
Gercha! nice bit ‘o pie n mash n liquor round the apples and pears wiv the hon griselda.
Why does she have to rip off working class food so much?
First Dominoes, then pie and mash, kfc. She makes posh overpriced versions of it that are almost exactly the same. I don’t doubt she’s a good cook but I find this super jarring. Probably because she’s the daughter of a baron from Wandsworth (and unlikely to be the dodgy end, there’s plenty of not dodgy ends in Wandsworth)
