'The Instagram Diet'

Here’s how to create the perfect blend of unnecessary comparison and self-loathing

Ingredients:

• A personal Instagram account

• Less than 5k followers

• Friends with more than 50k followers

• Life sabotaging algorithms

• Filters

First of all, turn on your notifications and make sure your Instagram account is set to ‘public’. That way you’ll be able to see who has watched your Stories and not answered your WhatsApp messages.

Next, follow people with more disposable income than you and keep checking their feed to make sure you don’t miss a post about their latest trip to Goa. To make this delightful dish go further, don’t forget to also look at their Stories to see how they enjoyed flying first class.
