In this episode big fat gorilla discusses the ‘’That Girl’’ trend on Tik Tok. On Tik Tok we need to stay critical on the footage that is shown to us. Big Fat Gorilla breaks down who that girl is and what that girl stands for.

That Girl involves a lot of overwhelming routines and toxic diet culture. Big Fat Gorilla will debunks these diet rules and tells her opinion about this specific fitness industry.

In her opinion, That Girl promotes herself as someone that is all about balance, but why is only one lifestyle shown and only by one type of person? She also slightly touches on eating disorders and how this trend may encourage them. All discussed in this episode!
