Two viral trends on TikTok - #WaterTok and ‘What I Eat in a Day - have been called out by an eating disorder specialist as "really dangerous".
The hashtag #WaterTok is used on videos in which social media users dress up water with flavoured 'skinny' syrups like 'Orange Creamsicle' and 'Grape Gatorade'. Another trend is the 'What I Eat in a Day' videos wherein people document their day-to-day meals that often includes a calorie count.
To Martha Williams, 28, a specialist for eating disorder charity Beat, these trends only serve to "make thoughts about disordered eating worse".
