Liv Schmidt has faced intense backlash for months for offering nutritional advice to 'stay skinny' by sharing 'what I eat in a day' videos with tiny portions of food.

Critics have long argued Schmidt promotes eating disorders by emphasizing how important it is to stay skinny while simultaneously showing how little food she eats.

But Schmidt insists she is just promoting a healthy lifestyle. 

In some of her controversial videos, she would use cow, whale and pig emojis as she revealed her day started with a protein shake and electrolytes, a protein bar for lunch, and ended with 'a few bites' of bread and a shared appetizer for dinner.

Schmidt created a new TikTok page at the weekend after learning her account had been disabled for breaching the platform's policies.

On the new page, her bio read: 'It's not a sin to want to be thin. Saving America from obesity 1 person @ a time.'

By Tuesday, that account was also no longer visible.

Schmidt was accused of 'rage baiting' her audience, a practice which sees influencers deliberately wind people up in order to boost engagement and follower numbers. 

She went on a rant about diet culture in the United States just two weeks ago, asking 'why does being American feel like a secret shame?'

'Our obesity rate is basically a competitive sport.' 

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, she defended the content which has prompted so much outrage.
