F-factor

In a lawsuit, eight women claimed that the high-fiber F-Factor diet made them sick.

The F-Factor Instagram account also posted a response refuting claims made on Gellis’ Instagram about the protein powders containing lead, which made people sick.

The dangers of Instagram anonymity caught up with Gellis when she posted two accounts from women who said the F-Factor diet had made them miscarry.

Her cousin, Amanda Karp, is F-Factor’s head dietitian.

Among the half-shirts and sweatshirts sold on the diet’s website, there is an F-Factor “intentions bracelet,” to be worn on the “hand that will either undermine your intentions or honor them” as it “holds the fork, reaches for the bread basket or dips into the candy dish.”
