If you are a foodie just like me, but you are also looking to stay healthy, then I recommend you continue reading. What is a craving besides food that most of us have every day? What's something that we are constantly checking and can't put down? Just like the food we crave, our phone holds other cravings of ours that we must keep checking. Social media outlets such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are examples of these cravings. Social media has grown tremendously over the past years.
One of the fastest, rising accounts found on Instagram are food accounts. Food accounts have recently gained attention and attraction due to their intriguing and welcoming images of delicious foods. These popular accounts on Instagram are considered to be “influencers.” The book “Social Media: How to Engage, Share, and Connect,” by Regina Luttrell, refers to influencers as, “individuals [that] are integral to the process of spreading ideas because their influence stems from a particular expertise, level of popularity, or reputation" (Luttrell, 149).
Social media outlets can be useful especially when looking for an inspiration to eat healthier. There are currently about, “95 million photos and videos are posted on Instagram every day” (Luttrell143). From delicious restaurants, home cooked meals and featured desserts, these Instagram accounts will prove to you that you do not always have to be miserable when you are on a diet.

She has published a book titled, Good Clean Food, and she writes a daily health blog. Kulin has used media platforms, such as Instagram, to generate a following, where she can then advertise her book. Currently, “74 percent of marketers use visual assets in their social media marketing strategies” (Luttrell,138). Kulin’s images are visual assets, which can be used to attract more viewers.
