almond mom

noun

Etymology

From almond + mom, in reference to the healthy foods such as almonds which they promote. Popularised on social media service TikTok in late 2022 and early 2023; it emerged in response to a viral video posted on the service that featured a clip from the American reality television series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in which model Yolanda Hadid instructs her daughter Gigi to eat almonds because she feels weak.

    A mother who promotes (or herself follows) an inadequate diet with poor nutritional value and low calories, usually to promote a slender body image.

    • What matters most to an almond mom is getting and staying thin, so much so it inevitably overshadows accomplishments, accolades, and milestones—unless, of course, you look skinny while celebrating.
    • Recently, she was eating at a restaurant that didn't have a low-calorie salad dressing option and she found herself agitated. Reframing those thought processes as almond mom behavior has paved a way for her to change them.
