Chantal Sarault / Chantal Al-Refae / Foodie Beauty - Delusional drug fiend hamplanet mukbanger from Canada trying to be a glamorous online influencer. Pathological liar, huge bitch, narcissist, animal abuser

She's tried to argue before that carbs aren't a problem for her - does she not realise we've seen all the crap she eats? Even when it's fatty stuff like pizza there are still tonnes of carbs in there...
Were Chantal to admit that carbs (or at least certain sources of carbs) are in any way a problem for her, she'd have to face the fact that she simply cannot eat her favorite foods any more because they contribute to, if not trigger, her bingeing.

There is definitely a connection between compulsive binge eating and certain foods that are high in both highly-refined carbohydrates (including sugars) and fat. Chips, cake, pastries, ice cream, cookies, donuts, pizza, french fries, deep-fried foods, pasta dishes with lots of cheese, candy, and fast food are all commonly craved and devoured by binge eaters. In a pinch, if there is nothing else, and if they're too poor to buy much food, I've known people who binged on white bread spread with margarine or even mayo. Anything to get their fix.

Amberlynn's orange chicken? That shit's classic.

And really, the only way to get over that is to recognize what your binge foods are (and which foods can trigger the urge to binge), and treat them the way recovering alcoholics treat anything that contains alcohol--cut them out of your diet completely. Given that most of them are utter crapfood, and even the best of them are marginal as far as nutritional value goes, that leaves all kinds of tasty, nutritious food that is perfectly safe and won't trigger a binge, or that can't really be binged on because they require too much chewing or make you feel full too quickly--and don't give you a dopamine hit.

Going Keto, or even just an eating plan that allowed some low-GI carbs (such as South Beach, or old-style Atkins in its maintenance stage), would work wonders for Chantal--if she ever stuck with it. And to do that, she'd have to admit she has a major problem with carbs, and that she can no longer eat all of her old favorites.

That ain't going to happen. Food is literally her life; it is the only thing she is interested in or cares about; she has nothing else to live for. So we get to watch her eat herself to death, in between desperate, flailing attempts at "miracle" weight-loss schemes.
 
Yes! Even if she doesn't realize it herself, this is the subconscious reason why she cyclically embraces raw food diets that even the most extreme vegans can't keep up. (also, as other people pointed out, she has the delusional dream that she'll end up as a 120 lb. pretentious L.A. diet guru with a permanent green juice in her hand and a haunting, thousand-yard cult stare.)

There is a certain Catholic style ritual to her "cleanses". It's like she's sinned all her life but a quick confession and taking of communion via a "holistic cleanse" will fix her right up, maybe dip her hands in the holy water on the way out for good measure.
 
I sympathize with REALLY loving food. Look, if I had a bag of puffy Cheetos, I'd eat the whole fucking bag. Spinach, mushroom, and garlic pizza? I'd grind it down like AL was being whipped and driven by a thousand binge monsters. Nothing but sympathy from me on the inability to control yourself when it's THERE.

You don't keep that shit around if you can't handle it. It really is about little choices. Instead of baking the cookie dough in the fridge, you do some squats and push-ups. You choose the oatmeal over the croissant. You go to the bakery and get a single delicious treat instead of a bulk box from Costco. You celebrate going down a size in clothing with a new swimsuit and a trip to the waterpark instead of a Horrid clothing haul.

This is probably why "cleanses" are so popular - it makes people feel like they are washing out their soul as well when they drink green juices and get diarrhea.

Chantal is balls deep in that Saturday night sinner/ Sunday morning saint mentality when it comes to food.
 
The classic illustration of this is her dieting strategy: she alternates between unhinged pig-out mode and ludicrous ascetic diets that could only be adhered to by mentally ill anorexics. There's no middle ground: a sensible diet option would be to gradually reduce her binge sizes, or switch to healthier options for certain foods while still eating her favourites.
She literally quit the diet given to her by a weight-loss professional because it encourages moderation. You can't make this stuff up.
 
Much like her appetite, her stupidity knows no bounds.

I think she’s genuinely going insane from being stuck at home, deprived of human contact for most of the day. Netflix and cats are her sole company until Bibi comes back. It wouldn’t be half as bad if she had a hobby or even a shitty Etsy store, something to add purpose to her day-to-day existence.

At this point, I believe she should see a therapist and work on fixing her head first. Her recent behavior is really worrying.

This is spot on. Even if she were to go to the best binge-eating clinic in the world, in-patient, and actually followed their guidelines - she'd still be a huge mess. Her main problem isn't BED, assuming she does have it. As others have said or alluded to, the binge-eating is just a symptom of something much larger (TEEHEE). Without regular intense therapy, she will never conquer whatever huge underlying mental problems she has. Whether you believe it's a personality disorder or not, the result is the same. She's obviously got major life-long issues that she's never even attempted to address with any dedication.

Say she got actual help she couldn't just cancel for the food issues - which she never will IMO - it would just take another form. Whether drugs or other self-harm, promiscuity, whatever. Solving the eating part of her problem wouldn't solve the root of the eating problem. She is "trying" to tackle things from just the food perspective, which is part of the reason she hasn't made any progress at all in 35 years.

She clearly self-sabotages. I mean that couldn't possibly be any more clear. It's not just gluttony and food that leads to her quitting every diet she ever tries. She's based her entire identity on being fat, so that's another issue. She tries to mold her identity around other idiots like Freelee or the latest IG gurus, but that's always too hard and so she goes back to what she knows. All of this shit is consistent with Borderline Personality Disorder, but I think we're pretty split on that so I'll refrain from sperging there.

The bottom line is that she needs fucking therapy - immediately, regularly, and for a long ass time. I honestly believe that buying decent CBT/DBT/mindfulness self-help books and reading those would begin to help her. Or buying anxiety/depression/gratitude/DBT/CBT/whatever workbooks and just committing to completing a section daily would help her. But the sad truth is she doesn't want help. She really doesn't.
 
Hamberlynn is the exact same way. You'd think they'd be fast friends instead of middle school frenemies. Their cycle is as much in sync as an office full of women's menstrual cycles.
Why would they be friends? They ARE so alike, and they hate themselves and their inability to control their actions. Each sees in the other the image of herself she hates the most.

They can’t stand each other because they ARE so similar.

I watched a (really sad) documentary which featured a bulimic woman with two young kids. To try to avoid binges, she froze all their bread and only defrosted what she'd need for the kids' packed lunches each day, because she "hadn't yet reached the level of binging on frozen bread".

That's how much effort some people put in to avoid triggers. Chantal? Naaaaaah, this time she tooootally won't eat the entire pack of salami!
 
I think that medical medium is leaving some details out of that little trailer where he fondles grannies tits and diagnoses cancer.

I imagine that little boy touched a lot of male relatives and diagnosed premature ejaculation more than once. That voice he's hearing is repressed abuse.

She's a bit like an episodic version of my 600lb life, we haven't got to the part where the denial stops and Dr Now gives them an ultimatum. I don't think she'll ever get one last chance, her faulty c-pap machine will cut out and she'll suffocate. RIP the coroner's back hauling that out.
 
cant wait for chantal to breakdown. i really want her to go to the eating disorder clinic. i was in one in 2007 for anorexia/bulimia and midway through my treatment they brought in a binge eating disorder patient. all she did was trigger everyone to the point where she left after 4 days thinking they didnt serve her and it was "unfair" that people were uncomfortable around her-she weighed around 400 pounds what did she expect? chantal strikes me as the type of person that would go and then try to pursue legal action because she felt personally attacked
 
If Chantal is going to try every wacky diet she stumbles upon can she go carnivore/zero carb? I'd honestly be interested to see how that would work if she stuck to it.

All the talk about aesthetics is spot on. Raw vegan food is bright, colorful, pretty. Now most keto food, say that salami, doesn't look like food fit for a dainty health guru like Chantal.
 
Our girl has become so predictable, we really ought to come up with Bingo cards for this newer, dumber iteration of the water fast/grape fast series.
Spaces could include (in no particular order):
  • Celery haul!
  • Lecturing us about nutrition
  • Juicing montage
  • Misprouncing medical terms
  • "My skin is already looking clearer!"
  • Drinking out of a mason jar for maximum aesthetic
  • Downplays the whole "ghosts from the future" situation
  • "I feel more spiritually connected to the Earth!"
  • Fast food/Western medicine sperg
  • After 1 day, no longer has urges to binge
  • After 2 days, has developed Spidey Senses
  • Admonishes haters for not doing research and being brainwashed
  • Talks wistfully about cheese
  • Disables comments/nukes community posts
  • Instagram flooded with glamour shots of vegetables
  • Unhinged rant about Zachary Michael
  • Discusses all the cool shit she'll do and wear when she's thin
  • Turns on AmberLynn for eating processed lunchmeat
  • Angry livestream
  • Uh-oh, diarrhea!
  • Needs to take a few days off YT to "focus"
  • Visit to ER
I feel like we could come up with several separate, unique cards at this point. Never change, Chantal!
 
Before the dangerous cancer risk excuse, the first two reasons she gave for giving up the doctor's diet were that it was restrictive and "felt like punishment". I'd like to know how she has convinced herself that the ghost guru's more restrictive raw vegan plan won't feel like punishment.

I guess she forgot about the "punishment" excuse when she realized she could pin her failure on the suggested snack of two pepperettes and a babybell cheese. IF she sticks with the ghost diet for more than a couple of days, and that's a BIG IF, she is guaranteed to binge on whatever shit she bought for this diet. Unless of course she feels punished, banishes all of the veggies to the Health Food Graveyard, and calls Aziz, the Pizza Pizza man.
