This is the hottest diet on social media right now

If you’re on a diet and you don’t take to social media to hashtag about it, are you really on a diet? With all of the #mealprep, #nocarb, and #foodporn hashtags topping the mega-millions on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, it seems just about everyone loves posting pictures of their eating habits. But whether it’s people going crazy for keto, those pushing paleo, or those running on nothing but #rawfood, it can be hard to tell which diet is actually trendiest. Within each diet there is undoubtedly an active community supporting each other and sharing tips and recipes. But which diet has the largest following online? Researchers at Brandwatch analyzed Twitter to uncover which diet floods feeds with the largest volume of related posts. Then they looked to top “influencers” — those with particularly large followings — to determine which diet trend is most common. It turns out that going vegan…

New Netflix show “Nailed It” celebrates cooking fails

Pinterest is packed with tons of whimsical, impressive looking recipes that we all dream of recreating someday — and sometimes, we wish we hadn’t. Even with the best of intentions those adorable baby shower bunny cookies end up looking like baby’s worst nightmare. And that pretty unicorn cake — definitely less than magical. The internet is full of these hilarious and relatable memes, often appropriately captioned “Nailed It.” And in a stroke of genius, Netflix has made this the premise of their newest show by the same name. Nailed It will feature three home bakers “with a terrible track record” who will try to recreate some of Pinterest’s most popular goodies. As a reality competition show, of course prizes are involved. The baker who comes closest to actually nailing it will be awarded $10,000. Famed chocolatier Jacques Torres and comedian Nicole Byer will host the light-hearted show, where epic fails will be celebrated alongside the…

If you subscribe to this logic, particularly if you live or follow Instagram users in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles, you’ve likely contributed to the most-Instagrammed restaurants, bars, bakeries and cafes of 2017. On Wednesday, Instagram released it’s annual year in review list of “most popular” in categories such as celebrities, cities and of course, everyone’s favorite category to share, food. Eateries were divided into two categories: restaurants and bakeries/cafes. The title of “most photographed restaurant” went to 230 Fifth in New York City, located 21 floors up, and offering sweeping views of Manhattan. The upscale casual restaurants allows guests to snap shots of swanky looking cocktails against a scene of palm trees and some of the country’s most iconic buildings including the Empire State Building. Topping the list for most-Instagrammed bakery or cafe was the Kim Kardashian West-approved Cafe du…

Facebook survey reveals how we post about beverages

Facebook

If you’re going out to a restaurant or bar tonight, there’s a 1 in 3 chance you’ll be posting a picture to social media — and it’s probably going to be food or drink. While it may be creepy that Facebook can anticipate your actions so specifically, it actually makes sense. People want to present the best versions of themselves and show their friends the experiences they’re having. This largely includes nights on the town. In a recent survey, Facebook found that, while out and about, many people will share their opinions of their beverages and tag them #coffee or #craftbeer, inspiring others to go sip for themselves. About 50 percent of the people surveyed said they’ve intentionally gone and tried the drinks that friends and family have shared and tagged online. People have always purchased drinks when they were thirsty, but smart phones are changing the path they take to purchase, making it…
