She never misses an opportunity to highlight weight gain and her disapproving look, every time we tighten up, says it all… champion at making us feel guilty, it has ruined our relationship with food as a result of reflection “for our own good” (and gently poisoning the mother-child relationship): we tell you everything regarding the almond mom !
What is a almond mom ?
Did you know regarding toxic friendships? Narcissistic perverts? In-laws and toxic colleagues ? We will now have to reckon with the almond mon ! If you are not familiar with the ‘mama almond’ (the literal translation of “almond mom”) this is because the name is relatively recent… although the phenomenon is far from being new! Basically, the almond mom is this woman who, without always doing it consciously, maintains the cult of thinness. She will thus have toxic behavior regarding physical appearance, diet and weight of her children. We speak of ‘mom almond’, because most often it is mothers who adopt this behavior towards their daughters but other members of the entourage and the family can have this harmful attitude and boys can also be victims. What regarding thealmond mom original, the one that gave its name to this phenomenon? She is none other than Yolanda Hadid, mother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. In an episode of the reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills dating from 2013, to her daughter Gigi, 18, who tells her she feels “very weak” suddenly, Yolanda – former American-Dutch top model – responds: “Eat two almonds and chew them well”. A line that went almost unnoticed in 2013 but which is emerging today on TikTok to the point of giving birth to a phenomenon: almond moms. On TikTok, #almondmom has more than 800 million views… and Yolanda Hadid – specifying that the discussion was taken out of context – took to laughing regarding it on social networks in an ironic video accompanied by #wortsmomever (‘ worst mother in the world’):

Almond Mom : qWhat are the risks?
Having an Almond Mom can be harmful in many ways. It harms as follows:
The relationship with food and would even promote the development of eating disorders (TCA), Self-confidence and more generally negatively affect mental health, The relationship between the mother and her daughter which can be considered, rightly so, as toxic…
And succeed in cleaning up a relationship with his almond mom is a real challenge because most often the mother is truly convinced of the validity of her words and is not aware of their impact. It’s then difficult to sort things out… and to take the necessary distance from a mother who is not aware of her harmfulness. The good news ? Aware of their failings, Generation Z denounces these behaviors and offers them more visibility… which bodes well for avoiding repeating their harmful relationships.
What are the benefits of almonds?
Star of this phenomenon, almonds do not have only faults. Far from it, they are even full of benefits since they are:
Rich in magnesium which helps limit muscle spasms and contributes to reducing stress, Rich in omega-3, they contribute to good cardiovascular health, Rich in antioxidants they contribute to the prevention of certain cancers, to the fight once morest cellular aging… Rich in fiber, they promote digestion, Rich in vitamin E, zinc, minerals, trace elements, they contribute to good brain health, Rich in proteins (20g per 100g), they are satiating, hence their interest in slimming diets,
A perfect snack, in short. But, as we will have understood, where things get stuck is when the almonds alone constitute a meal… such as a girl dinner !
