I mention it only as Chessie King raved about catching up with 3 others (+ their 2 children) which makes a group of 6 before you even add Rhi, her little one and her OH.

Her latest banana bread post, she looks seriously unwell. So gaunt. She's clearly not coping well
She bakes so much but she can't possibly eat it all? She's so obsessive as well about Zachary's diet.
I feel like a lot of Instagram PTs/nutritions actually just have a really fucked up relationship with food and are actually just foisting their disordered eating habits on vunerable people

Can’t remember the exact percentage but a very large percentage of people who study nutrition have , or have had poor relationships with food
I’m going to struggle to make my point coherently but here we go
Rhi sits in a space of being an influencer, your friend who is a mum and just like you but on the internet, someone who frequently has sponsored content and makes recommendations to her followers on products
Except she’s different to other influencers as she is ALSO a nutritionist with a paid private clientele who she treats for serious things like eating disorders, health conditions, weight loss etc.
Therefore the issue I have with her is that by having an Instagram profile that covers the personal and professional parts of her life she is blurring the lines between the two. The average woman following her because of Zachary is being bombarded with posts about in depth studies of specific nutrients or diets, weight management, why we should all eat more almonds etc. No average person (eg someone not actively managing their diet with the help of a nutritionist) needs to think about these things that much, just eat a balanced diet and exercise sometimes and you’ll be fine! And she’s therefore normalising having a scientific and diet based relationship with food, not everything you eat is going to be nutritionally optimum but that’s ok
TLDR - by combining her nutritionist posts with her personal ones she’s exposing potentially vulnerable followers to content that could cause them to overthink their relationship with food and move it into a dangerous place
Hope all that made sense!
I wonder how long she’s been having a nanny 2 days a week? Nothing wrong with that of course but she’s always saying how she’s squeezing things in while Zachary naps and how’s she’s juggling everything all the time but actually she has a nanny!
Probably since the beginning, she’s probably got a Norland nanny who does overnights aswell!
Oh my god. Thank you for this! Genuinely, yes I had not even thought about it this way. She does totally make me overthink my diet and I had never even thought of it in that way!
I know @giraffe95 already mentioned this. But yikes

New here but came in shock after seeing her latest post on Instagram. She looks sooo frail! It's aged her so much. Don't get me wrong, since I've became a mum I look a little older it comes with the territory with lack of sleep and less time to look after yourself. But she looks malnourished and seriously unwell. It is madness she has gotten to this point when she is a nutritionist!
I think people are referencing how skinny and frail she appears to be rather than her not having her hair and makeup done. I agree with the above posters that she doesn’t look well at all and that’s nothing to do with not having a blow dry and a full face of make up. She looks skeletal at times.

. I know the food at these places are not the best and I wouldn’t let a 1 year old eat it but honestly for an older toddler once in a while it’s going to be fine. Isn’t she always preaching about eating in moderation and intuitive eating but obviously doesn’t practice what she preaches. Guess what Rhi, Zachary is going to eat a chicken nugget in his lifetime and it won’t do him any harm.

She just exudes snobbiness. Pizza and chips isn't going to kill anyone, especially if they're spending two hours running around soft play like mad. Let your boy have some chicken nuggets and just make sure he eats some fruit for afters. BALANCE.Rhi posted this story earlier and now she has deleted it
They also have fruit and vege dippers so I don’t really see her issue....
She has major food issues herself. She is projecting.
Yeah I’d like to see her explain why soup, jacket potatoes, veg and hummus or beans on toast are bad, and like other posters have said any of the rest in moderation is absolutely fine
How will she cope the day Zachary goes round a friend’s house after school and he gets fed something she doesn’t approve of?

Some of them are free after school in term time too, not all parents can afford to do both soft play and food. Pizza/nuggets and chips in moderation isn't a big dealRhi posted this story earlier and now she has deleted it
I send my 1 year old to daycare that provides food. I can’t say I love what they feed him but you know, he eats well at home so if he has jam on toast at daycare or processed food, he will be ok! 
(also one less thing for me to do not having to pack a lunch 
)
(also one less thing for me to do not having to pack a lunch )She is so snobby it’s unreal! She posted the other day that they shouldn’t put calories on menus because 1. It can trigger people with eating disorders (valid point) and also that without a nutrition degree how could you possibly understand the calories
Christ - that poor boy is going to end up bulimic. What’s wrong with having a choice? She could pick some of the healthy options if she wanted to! That post emphasises everything that is wrong with influencer culture!
I honestly believe enforcing such strong and obsessive views on kids can only go a negative way. My baby is 8 months and I haven't felt the need to give him a pouch for example with being on maternity leave, but when I go back to work and he is being looked after,there will definitely be days where this is taken out of my hands! The odd more unhealthy meal will do no harm but the toxic mentality restricting your kids will.
