💨 Abstract

TikTok has become a popular platform for sharing weight loss content, but much of it is misleading and potentially dangerous. The app has had to ban hashtags like #SkinnyTok to discourage extreme dieting. Many supposed "hacks" lack scientific evidence and overpromise results. Experts like Lucy Diamond, a registered dietitian, caution against these trends, emphasizing that weight loss is complex and requires long-term lifestyle changes.
