Influencers are posting videos to demonstrate how their bodies change over the course of the day.
In the videos, the Instagrammers show their followers how they may have a flat stomach first thing in the morning, but that changes as they eat and drink.
Sara Puhto, who has 383,000 followers on Instagram, posted a video to remind people that bodies fluctuate throughout the day.

She also showed how different her stomach can look when relaxed compared to sucking in.
"Bodies/tummies will all look different depending on so many factors like water, food, stress, menstrual cycles (if you're a person who has periods), genetics, amount of sleep, bowel movements, etc!!" Puhto wrote in her caption.
