What Is ‘Skinny Tok?' Experts Debunk the Harmful TikTok Trend for Weight Loss
' Skinny Tok,' an extreme form of dieting that equates thinness with health, continues to trend on TikTok. Experts warn that the trend perpetuates negative body image and toxic diet culture. Extreme calorie restriction has mental and physical consequences. There are many sustainable, evidence-based ways to achieve a healthy weight. A harmful and misleading body image trend continues to surface on TikTok. So-called 'Skinny Tok' is a controversial corner of the social media platform where proponents tout extreme thinness under the guise of wellness and lifestyle advice. Leading the Skinny Tok movement is Gen Z influencer Liv Schmidt, who rose to internet fame by sharing what she referred to as 'skinny girl hacks.' Her content, which included low calorie 'What I Eat in a Day' videos, sparked widespread concern about its potential to normalize disordered eating. After being banned from TikTok in 2024 for violating the platform's community guidelines, Schmidt resurfaced with a new username. Skinny Tok content continues to gain traction. There are currently over 74,000 videos shared under the #skinnytok hashtag, many of which share extreme calorie deficits and regular body checks, where users document their shrinking bodies. Skinny Tok: A dangerous way to lose weight Registered dietitian Emily Van Eck, described the trend as a 'dangerous' and 'extreme' take on weight loss and health. 'Glorifying thinness as a marker of morality, health, or discipline is harmful to physical, emotional, and mental health,' she told Healthline. 'Dieting is a major risk factor for eating disorders, and the younger someone starts, the higher their risk. Because these videos often feature teenagers and young adults, they're especially concerning.' Van Eck noted the vilifying of essential macronutrients (in particular carbohydrates and fats) as another red flag. 'Our bodies need these nutrients,' she said. Lindsie Meek, founder of HumanMend, an eating disorder and anxiety psychotherapy practice in New York City, said the trend perpetuates harmful diet culture, celebrates extreme thinness, and promotes unrealistic body standards. 'The 'What I eat in a day' content is particularly harmful because it suggests all bodies have the same nutritional needs,' she told Healthline. 'These posts don't take into consideration individual body factors, such as genetics and health needs.' Risks of extreme calorie restriction Some influencers promoting this trend share very low calorie diets. Both experts agreed that extreme calorie restriction has mental and physical consequences. 'On 800 calories per day, it's virtually impossible to meet your body's nutrient needs,' Van Eck said. 'Deficiencies in iron, B12, and calcium are common, which can lead to fatigue, low mood, poor sleep, and muscle loss. Over time, undernourishment can cause immune dysfunction, hypothalamic amenorrhea (which causes infertility), and bone loss,' she noted. From a mental health perspective, Meek said dieting to the extreme could contribute to 'exaggerated or limited mood fluctuations and obsessive thoughts about food and body image.' Many of these videos frame weight loss and extreme thinness as the ultimate sign of health, a narrative that is dangerous and misleading. 'Weight is not a reliable indicator of health status,' said Meek. 'Health is multifaceted and cannot be determined by appearance alone. 'People in thin bodies may or may not be healthy, just as people in larger bodies may or may not be healthy,' she continued. Meek noted that true health isn't a body size; it encompasses physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Healthy weight loss vs. disordered eating Not all weight loss is bad. There are healthy, sustainable ways to reach a healthy weight, but with so much conflicting advice online, it can be difficult to know what's helpful and what's extreme. Van Eck agreed. 'The line between intentional weight loss and disordered eating can be blurry, especially online, where extreme behaviors are often framed as wellness and get rewarded with massive attention due to their polarizing nature,' she pointed out. For Van Eck, health-supportive behavior change feels like part of a broader self-care routine. 'It's flexible and rooted in nourishment, not fear or punishment,' she said. Disordered eating on the other hand, often shows up as rigid food rules, food guilt, and obsessive control. 'If someone feels anxious deviating from a plan, skips meals to earn food, or thinks about food and their body constantly, that's disordered, even if it's normalized online,' Van Eck said. If in doubt, Meek recommended assessing how the behaviors impact your daily life. 'If weight loss is the goal, it's important to consistently assess flexibility and anxiety levels when plans change, as disordered patterns are often rigid and distressing,' she said. 'Disordered eating also typically interferes with relationships, work, and life enjoyment, whereas balanced approaches enhance overall well-being.' Achieving a healthy weight Despite recent strides made by the body positivity movement, mainstream culture continues to conflate thinness with health. According to Van Eck, part of the issue may be tied to misconceptions about healthy body weight. 'Healthy weight is a term I often find problematic. The metrics we use, like BMI, are deeply flawed and don't account for natural, individual variation,' Van Eck said. 'If we define it more functionally, a healthy weight is the range your body naturally lands when you're eating enough, moving in ways that feel good, and not caught in the restrict-obsess-repeat cycle.' There are many sustainable, evidence-based ways to get into this healthy zone. 'If someone wants to support their health long term, the most sustainable approach is to focus on behavior, not the weight. 'That includes eating regular, balanced meals with enough energy, fiber, protein, and fat to support fullness and satisfaction,' she said. It also means honoring hunger cues, finding enjoyable movement, and addressing sleep, stress, and emotional health. Another way to support yourself is to ditch the idea that foods are inherently good or bad. 'Virtually everyone in our culture has been influenced to some extent by toxic diet culture. Healing involves rejecting food morality by challenging the idea that certain foods are good or bad,' said Meek. Diet trends like Skinny Tok can reinforce dangerous ideas around weight loss and health, but true wellness is multi-dimensional. 'Equating thinness with health ignores human complexity and reinforces weight stigma,' Van Eck said. manage stress, sleep, and connect with others, than it is in a size.'

I live in some of the world's most expensive cities for free — here's my hack for not paying any rent or bills
A young couple recently revealed their secret to living rent-free for three months while traveling across Australia, and their little-known hack is going viral on TikTok. In the video, the woman, Esmae Lewis, explained how she and her boyfriend managed to avoid paying rent, bills, and even Wi-Fi and air conditioning costs during their travels. 'We didn't spend a single dollar,' she claimed. The pair said they wanted to live in Australia, as it's such a 'beautiful country with great weather'. However, she quickly realized it also has a high cost of living, pricey food, drinks, gyms, and hostels, which aren't always ideal for couples. 3 Esmae Lewis and her boyfriend don't pay rent by housesitting. TikTok/@esmaelewis So, they found a platform called Trusted Housesitters, where people can look after homeowners' pets and properties in exchange for free accommodation. 'We landed every sit we applied for,' she said, before sharing tips to help others succeed on the platform. These included creating a detailed profile that showcases personality and experience, asking friends and family for initial reviews, personalizing each application by referencing the pets and their quirks, and focusing on care and connection with the pets rather than the location perks. Lewis also recommended offering video calls or meetups to build trust with homeowners. The concept of house sitting is not a new one. Sitters care for pets, maintain gardens, keep homes clean and safe, and sometimes handle mail or deliveries, all in exchange for rent-free living. 3 Lewis also recommended offering video calls or meetups to build trust with homeowners. TikTok/@esmaelewis This benefits both parties as homeowners get peace of mind while away, and sitters enjoy free accommodation. Commenters loved the idea, with one saying, 'Love love loveeee this! I've had my eye on signing up and starting this'. 'This is such a cool idea!' and 'Love house-sitting!!! Such solid tips,' read other comments. 'I want to do this!' admitted a fourth. 3 Lewis said she made the annual membership fee back in a couple of days just by not having to pay any rent. TikTok/@esmaelewis 'This is so useful,' said a fifth, as someone else mentioned they live in Australia already but are keen to give this a go. 'This is goals,' another TikToker declared. House-sitting platforms like Trusted Housesitters and Aussie House Sitters have grown in popularity in recent years, offering thousands of opportunities across Australia. These services often require a membership fee but provide a trusted community and support to ensure both sitters and homeowners feel secure in the arrangement. Lewis said she made the annual membership fee back in a couple of days just by not having to pay any rent.

Wife Looks at Husband's Journal, Can't Believe What She Finds Inside
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man's handwriting has caused jaws to drop as his wife showed off the microscopic size of the text in his journal. Kathryn Benitez, 27, from Florida, shared a video of her husband's remarkably tiny handwriting, joking that he writes in "font size ant." In a video which has amassed more than 1.3 million views since being shared last week, Alan Benitez's journal entries, condensed into near-microscopic text, amazed the internet. Benitez, an artist who shares her work online alongside her husband, never expected their morning journaling routine to captivate such a wide audience. In the now-viral clip, Alan flips through pages densely packed with miniature script—a habit he's maintained since the couple began dating in 2019. "His handwriting is usually small, but for his journal, he intentionally writes even smaller to condense everything," Benitez told Newsweek. "Whenever he writes me anything, like a birthday card, I always have to ask, 'What does that say?' at least once or twice." Screenshots from the viral TikTok video featuring the tiny handwriting.

On @vibrantvessels' TikTok video, viewers marveled at the precision of Alan's penmanship, while others shared some well-placed jokes: "Might be drafting the Constitution in his spare time," said one commenter. While another joked: "Environmentally conscious king using as little paper as possible." One viewer said: "He is writing his own terms and conditions," while another wrote: "This font is legally classified as a whisper." "My husband does this too!" said commenter StarGirl0770. "He uses college ruled paper, and fits two lines of text into one row." Even brands got in on the act in the comments, optician chain Specsavers joked: "We just wanna talk." Kathryn Benitez couldn't believe her husband's handwriting in his journal. Kathryn Benitez couldn't believe her husband's handwriting in his journal. TikTok/@vibrantvessels Benitez explained that journaling is an essential part of her husband's daily routine. For him, it's a way to process thoughts, deepen his faith, and stay present. Beyond the internet's amusement, the viral moment has unexpectedly highlighted the value of journaling—especially for men who may not often discuss their emotions openly. The benefits of journaling have been well documented, with the American Psychological Association (APA) publishing an article as far back as 2001 citing research on the subject. "The research, published in the September issue of APA's Journal of Experimental Psychology: General (JEP: General) (Vol. 130, No. 3), indicates that expressive writing reduces intrusive and avoidant thoughts about negative events and improves working memory. These improvements, researchers believe, may in turn free up our cognitive resources for other mental activities, including our ability to cope more effectively with stress," they said. Commenting on the viral moment, Benitez said: "I thought it was a funny wholesome moment to share on social media. "The reaction has been hilarious. From comments accusing him of being a serial killer, to writing hieroglyphics or the constitution, they have cracked us up. "It's funny to know other fellow small handwriting people have felt seen. Alan really values journaling as a way to process and express his emotions, so we love that we can normalize that for men as well," she explained.
