📺 LIVE ON AMERICAN TV TALKING ABOUT KK’S RAPID WEIGHT LOSS!
Last week I spoke to @bbcnews & @insider all about Kim K’s rapid weight loss (16lbs in 3 weeks) for the Met Gala and yesterday @fox26houston got in touch to see if I would join them live to discuss it further .. hear what I had to say above! ⬆️
PS It was my first time on American TV (& I was talking to a blank screen at home!)
⬇️ TAKE HOMES:
Some celebs don’t realise the influence they have and some messages are highly irresponsible - conversations around rapid & unsafe weight loss could be damaging to vulnerable people, including teenagers and those with a history of eating disorder.
Sauna suits can cause the body to overheat and dehydrate and can be extremely dangerous - people have died from exercising in them trying to lose weight fast! They are not evidence based and are NOT needed for weight loss or ‘detoxing’ - your body does this for you!
It’s impossible to lose 16lbs of fat in 3 weeks, but what she may have lost is a lot of water and glycogen (carb) stores from the liver and muscles which fill back up fast as soon as you start eating normally again!
As soon as you ‘cut’ something from your diet, you could end up craving it more, and it could lead to a slippery slope and a binge-restrict cycle.
There’s no such thing as ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ foods - that’s such a disordered message to send. Portion size and frequency of ALL foods matter.
What we eat should fuel both our body and soul, healthy eating is about balance and sustainability.. whilst being happy with what you’re eating too!
Bottom line - Get your nutrition advice from a qualified professional, not a celeb.
Thank you to @Rachel_hosie for being the first to interview me on this last week!
