There's also been an increase in people seeking help from online support groups.
The Eating Disorders Association has said people need to be mindful of what they're consuming online.
Bodywhys say hospitals have seen a 66 percent increase in admissions for eating disorders since the pandemic began.
They've also seen a 110 percent increase in people seeking help from their online support groups over the past year.
Eating disorder charities in the UK have criticised the rise in toxic diet culture and body altering apps being advertised on social media.
Harriet Parsons, Training & Development Manager with Bodywhys, has said that seeing this content can negatively affect anyone.
She also said the more you're "focused on the ideal and the more that is promoted", the more self-esteem issues grow.
