When Emily Gellis hears rumors of people suffering horrible side effects from a trendy diet she springs into action. Armed with over a hundred thousand Instagram followers, Emily launches a social media crusade to expose F-Factor and its founder, Tanya Zuckerbrot. It’s the start of a feud that will attract trolls, lawyers, and, eventually, national media all because of fiber. From Wondery, this is a story about wealth, wellness, and influence narrated by Casey Wilson.

The SHEER RAGE of the title quote, holy shit, I'm DYING. This is such middle school tattletale juvenile bullshit, absolute trash, and yet taking on this fad diet was so necessary.
Stupid dumb high-school garbage
All diets are just mind games. The only rules are: 1) Eat when you're hungry, and stop when you're full; and 2) Everything in moderation (nothing is forbidden). A little physical activity goes a long way too - not just for burning calories, but for improving digestion and mood in general
"Bras are too expensive; I can't burn them" - true!!!
I don't uderstand how there is an entire podcast dedicated to this. it could've been told in 1 episode...
that Instagram account is just gossip girl...
Why can’t they spend that money helping ppl that are actually hungry? I don’t get it.
Why was this a featured recommendation? This was pointless and a waste of time. The host was okay, she made me laugh. God I hope she was being ironic though, with all the "ooh this is soooo interesting" comments, because if she was serious, then please just kill me now.
The problem with this podcast is that absolutely everybody in it - from those selling snake oil to those trying to bring them down by way of those buying it - is an irredeemable combination of criminal, obscenely wealthy, entitled and stupid, so why would you care who wins? SPOILER: Nobody wins.
If there's anything worse than a scammer, it's a scammer who says she did it for her autistic child. As the parent of an autistic child myself yet who has somehow managed to stay on the right side of the law, I struggle to imagine how much lower you can get.
I mean a minority that was poor wouldn't be online selling expensive fiber powder though. they would be trying way harder to just try and survive
Don't listen. The narrative is all over the place and biased towards the Emily character. 😒
Ugh. Really wondery? It seems like you could do much better than this stupid story. I thought there was a point and then I realized there really wasn't. Just dumb people doing dumb social media crap. yawn. Don't waste your time folks.
listening to this podcast was a literal waste of time! Nothing interesting at all!
Romy is so annoying. 🥴
this is such high school bullshit. unsubscribe 🙄
" stabbed in the asshole" 😆
Done with this one. I don't care about these twits.
No Ingrid you didn't kill anyone but you were a cheater and you stole money from people and you lied. That is criminal. Just because you didn't commit the worst crime doesn't mean you shouldn't be punished for the crimes you committed. What about all those people that you stole from and cheated? And you weren't innocent you had an elaborate scheme going on. You knew exactly what you were doing. in another country you would have gotten far worse.
this show could be the sequel to Mean Girls.
Tonya sounds like a real nasty person IRL. As nasty as the rank farts that result from an excessive fiber diet.
loving the podcast so far, everything I've heard from Wondery has been quality. BUT I have to admit I am hating the sponsor being a cringey wellness powder that promises a slew of benefits and effects. That's a little tone deaf, don't you think?
Don't believe everything you see/hear online.(Quit living online) There are plenty of scams and diets in real life and don't f*** with someone's livelihood .... and not expect consequences! That's about it without all the 'LIKES'.
"I came from nothing" then her dad pays for her apartment
this is great! keep Making episides!! soo she's alll about fiber but she's not* a vegan??🤷♀️
Casey, you are such a great story teller!! you make this podcast!
I know the F here stands for fiber, but it could just as well stand for "fart" - Her diet is the Fart Factor (or the Fart Factory, more accurately) lol
