Kardashian has been criticized on social media, including by Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart, who wrote on Instagram that it’s “wrong” to talk regarding dieting “when you know so well that millions of young men and women follow what you say and listen to every word you say.” According to what was reported by “E!”.
“Kim Kardashian proudly says she went on an extreme diet to lose 7kg in three weeks to fit into a dress she was only allowed to wear for less than 10 minutes. It’s downright disgusting, irresponsible and annoying,” Steve wrote on Twitter.
It would be impossible to lose the first kilogram of fat in three weeks, Ludlam-Rayne said.
She noted that the bulk of what you lose is water and glycogen, a form of stored carbohydrate, which is lost when someone stops eating sugar and carbohydrates but is quickly regained when they resume eating this type of food.
She said Kardashian’s comments were likely to be “dangerous, especially for people who are easy to influence” and sent a “completely wrong” message.

Whereas most health experts recommend losing only regarding half to one kilogram per week.
“It’s not a sustainable way to live,” she said. “When you stop eating sugar, research shows we crave it more – and that can eventually lead to binge eating.”
Ludlam-Ryan noted that Kardashian “then said she wanted to eat a sandwich or something. We want to get people out of this cycle, and actually show them that they can eat the food they like in moderation while achieving whatever goals they want in terms of their weight or weight.” their health.”
“Ultimately, it’s all regarding finding that balance between eating healthy for your body and your soul – and it seemed like she had done nothing of that during those three weeks leading up to the Met Gala,” she added.
“People shouldn’t get their nutritional advice from celebrities,” she emphasized.
“Dieting and weight loss advice can be very appealing to those with eating disorders who may treat it as an inspiration for risky behaviour,” said Tom Quinn, director of external affairs for the eating disorder charity Beth.
“We strongly urge anyone with an eating disorder or concern regarding their health not to try to mimic any diet advice they hear and to contact their GP or care team if they feel unwell.”
Kardashian was asked to respond to the criticism.
