An "almond mom" is a term used to describe a parent, typically a mother, who is a little bit bought into diet culture and has an obsession with healthy eating, body image, and fitness. The term became popular on TikTok after a 10-year-old clip from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" resurfaced, featuring a young Gigi Hadid telling her mom Yolanda on the phone she was "feeling really weak" after eating an almond. Her moms solution was to "have a couple of almonds and chew them really well". The term is used to refer to parents who impose restrictive eating habits on their children, often under the guise of health and wellness, and are prone to body-shaming and giving unsolicited eating and exercise advice. The "almond mom" trend has sparked conversations about the impact of diet culture on women and girls and has helped many people look at their own behaviors and have difficult conversations with their loved ones.
