The Tiffany diet is going viral on TikTok and we don't understand why

Sometimes I find TikTok really a grim, special place. Of course, that completely depends on your algorithm, although I have the feeling that you can also just have bad luck. For example, all those lives of girls pretending to be NPCs — why?! Aargh, it makes me so uncomfortable. No, just give me TikToks about Taylor Swift, cats, and food. That makes me really happy again. And especially when it comes to that last category: TikTok has made so many city trips of mine much better because I got to know new hotspots, but I also got to know the Carbonara ramen (who doesn't know it by now?) just like other delicious recipes.

But sometimes there's a miss that goes completely viral and I don't understand why. Case in point: the Tiffany diet, which owes its name to TikToker Tiffany Magee. Her ‘secret’ to losing weight has now been viewed more than 100 million times and apparently it really works — but tasty is another matter.

Her secret is to have the same lunch every day. That in itself seems boring to me, but it's also quite a peculiar combination: raw and pickled vegetables, fruit, and a chicken sausage, which she dips in a sauce of cottage cheese and mustard. A lot. Of. Mustard.

And mustard also comes back in her breakfast: she makes the same sauce and dips eggs and fruit in it. Yep, if you really love mustard and want to lose weight, this might be a good option for you, but to be honest, I can't even think about it...

But well, Tiffany is doing great: she has already lost over 36 kilos and is happier than ever. Hopefully, she will soon make a TikTok about how much she spends on mustard per month, because I'm secretly curious about that.
