British comedian Bella Younger, 28, has had it with all those #EatClean Instagram accounts that tout paleo recipes (you know, the ones with about 100 hashtags in the captions) and make you feel awful about that bacon burger.
So Bella started her own version, a parody account called "Deliciously Stella." She posts photos of her fast food and candy-filled meals with the same care and enthusiasm as a health blogger, but instead of eggs and avocado, you'll find Cadbury eggs and avocado. Instead of fruit salad, there are pictures of fruit gummies.

Because honestly, sometimes you just want to eat like sh*t and still feel proud of it.
Day one of my #sweetox is going so well. I feel so energised and strong. It's good to eat lots of different colours for a balanced diet so I make sure to eat a packet of fruit pastilles every day. Have a sweet week everyone! #eatclean #sweetox #detox #sugar #diet #gettheglow #diettipsbystella A photo posted by Deliciously Stella (@deliciouslystella) on Jul 20, 2015 at 3:21am PDT
“I used to spend four hours a day looking through Instagram and feeling bad about myself ... Why’s everyone on a beach? What is this stylised courgette rubbish?” Bella told BuzzFeed News.
I've been working so hard on my crunchies recently and I think you'll agree that I'm finally starting to see the results! If you want to see my fab abs in action please come check out my show tonight @edfringe in the cellar monkey @ 7.30 #wod #crunchies #crunches #abs #gettheglow #edfringe #deliciouslystella A photo posted by Deliciously Stella (@deliciouslystella) on Aug 7, 2015 at 2:28am PDT
Bella's Instagram will speak to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to maintain perfect eating habits.
I'm busy writing my Edinburgh show so I thought I'd break up the day by making some delicious almond butter. It wasn't that great on its own so I suggest adding an accompaniment like toast. #eatclean #recipe #almondbutter #health #stella A photo posted by Deliciously Stella (@deliciouslystella) on Jul 14, 2015 at 3:38am PDT
Not to mention the fact that it's hilarious.

Starting my sunny Sunday right with a deliciously nourishing coconut water. I've got a really exciting project coming up so electrolytes and rum are just the tonic to keep me motivated. I can't wait to tell you all about it! #eatclean #gettheglow #secret #project #coconut #rum #iwishiwasapirate #breakfast #goals #tapfortags #deliciouslystella A photo posted by Deliciously Stella (@deliciouslystella) on Sep 27, 2015 at 3:59am PDT
Bella adds that it's all in good fun and not meant to shame anybody. She says she has received a positive response from clean eaters.
Avocado and eggs is such a.great breakfast. . I could instagram it over and over and over again. I've said before that I struggle with making the perfect poached egg! Thank god it's hallowe'en and I've got @cadburyuk screme eggs. They're ready made, quick and so delicious! #eatclean #screamqueens #gettheglow #avocoado #eggs #healthy #health #wellness #breakfast #treat #avotoast #deliciouslystella A photo posted by Deliciously Stella (@deliciouslystella) on Oct 5, 2015 at 3:01am PDT
"The reaction has been amazing," she told the Daily Mail. "I've had support from some amazing chefs and celebrities and no fledgling stand up comedian is in a position to turn down brilliant press... I'm so glad it's been so warmly received and taken with a pinch of salt. Some of my biggest fans are actually clean eaters."
Do you ever struggle to get more fruit and veg into your diet? I know I do. That's why I always have a packet of rowntrees fruit pastilles in my bag when we I'm on the go.
