Good point! She indeed talks about food a lot, and then shows an empty poke bowl container to prove she had eaten. A person with a healthy relationships with food would not do that, imho. I mean, I cannot imagine myself throwing my dirty empty lunchbox into my colleagues faces

She's acting like a toddler that secretly flashes food down the toilet/ gives to a pet and then shows mom an empty plate, as if they were finished.

On another note, the more I think about it and connect the dots, the more I'm convinced that she wears fakes 95% of the time.
My reasoning:
1. Fil is an employee, not a CEO, so, what is his salary, what do you, guys, think? Imo, it's € 100,000/year with bonuses, max. Would he be able to buy at least two Hermes bags for his girlfriend a year + jewelry?
2. It can be argued that he has some inheritance money/investments made, but think of his lifestyle before Tamara. Where did he even live before if they both rented at first? He had no car as well. He's wearing the same clothes, or at least he is not splurging on himself. He likes that Chrome hearts brand, but what does he buy from them mostly? Costume jewelry and sunglasses. I do not see rich habits there at all. For his age, he's not even a middle class Italian. And you tell me he's buying Hermes and diamond rings left and right? And again, for the man his age, he is not very well secured financially, again, imho.
3. Their summer vacations are all three-day breaks somewhere in Italy. Every. Single. Year. Exotic trips are all sponsored. Does this speak wealth to you?
4. Now, look at Tamara. Yes, it does seem like she shops a lot, but those are all sponsored hauls on rotation (NaP, Missoma, Mytheresa). And what is she wearing on a daily? Same white Khaite top in 90% of her videos in the past three years. Notice, how every time she actually splurges on something, she wears it to death (black Bottega heel to every single fashion event this fashion month, anyone?). On the contrary, 99% of her purchases we never see again. Her wardrobe is not even that big, considering the amount of hauls. So, where is the clothes?
5. They went to Japan recently...What did they buy exactly? A Chrome hearts necklace and a tiny Chanel purse. Cash poor? Seemed super weird to me.
6. She receives her treatments (body/skin/hair/face/nail) from far remote locations. Why would you only go to Belgrade for facials, or only to Paris for body sculpting? That does not make sense, unless all these services are freebies. Note, how she stopped showing her body sculpting appointments all of a sudden.
7. I do know that top influencers might make € 10,000 and up per post. And she might have some investments. But their general lifestyle screams of a wannabe to me. Everything is always somehow in excess with her, so, that it makes you question the validity. Several of the same van Cleef&Aples necklaces/bracelets in different colors? Multiple of the same Hermes bags in different sizes? The most random Chanel items in a bulk? I don't know, I follow a good amount of fashion influencers, and their more selective and unique in their choices. Tamara reminds me of a hoarder. Remember, her blog name was (is?)
All that glitters (...is not gold, isn't it?

All in all, her alleged lifestyle does not make any sense to me, unless, she's a trust fund baby, and she'll get her access once she's married, or something. Which contradicts with her sister's lifestyle. Personally, I see no other explanation to that level of mindless spending other than most of it is either returned, or fake.
