(MENAFN) When podcast company Dear Media posted a TikTok video of Gwyneth Paltrow discussing her wellness routine, the comments section was flooded with one phrase: "almond mom." This term has been used to describe moms who promote toxic dieting, such as suggesting their child eat just one almond when they feel hungry. While it's unclear who coined the term, it has been used to describe the actions of Yolanda Hadid in a 2012 episode of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," where she suggested her daughter Gigi Hadid eat "a couple almonds and chew them really well" when she felt weak.
In the video posted by Dear Media, Paltrow discussed her own wellness routine, which includes intermittent fasting, bone broth for lunch, and an early dinner following a paleo diet with many vegetables. Although this may seem like a healthy routine, the confluence of several diet and wellness trends and seemingly low-calorie days was met with concern from many people, and jokes from others. Comments on the video labeled Paltrow as the "mother of all almond moms," the "almond mom final boss," and "almond mom realness."
The use of the term "almond mom" has become popular on TikTok, with the #almondmom hashtag garnering 268.7 million views. Many young women have shared stories about the people they consider to be almond moms. While Paltrow and Hadid's diet tips have received criticism, they are not the only ones to be labeled as almond moms.
The term "almond mom" has its roots in the idea of promoting toxic dieting, which can have detrimental effects on young people's health and well-being. Paltrow's revelation of her wellness routine has sparked a conversation about the impact of celebrity endorsements of fad diets and the importance of promoting healthy eating habits. As the popularity of the term "almond mom" continues to grow, it serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting balanced and sustainable approaches to wellness and nutrition.
