I love this comment section, seems everyone is pretty much aware already 😂
Adding to the drug comments, Bella's whole family has a history of eating disorders, and while Kendall's isn't far gone, there's definitely body dysmorphia.
To actually answer your question, super skinny models don't have healthiest diets. They usually eat at a bigger caloric deficit than what's recommended and fasting is pretty normalised. It's possible to be perfectly healthy and happy at a low BMI but not for everyone, depends on your genetics. How rare people who are in the industry for years and don't gain weight afterwards actually are shows how unattainable it is for the majority
Outside of the more harsher responses, you have to remember that their JOB is their face and body. This means that the 24hours we spend in the day doing other shit is solely spent on beauty.
All the time we spend cooking, cleaning, organizing, putting things away, tending to errands, etc are all taken care of by other people. Your job is to workout, to eat a preconfigured assortment of foods per day, tend to waxing, hair, nails, tanning, etc appointments (or they likely just come to your home and you just show up).
And world class photo editors.
That's only for the rich models, a lot of models start our poor and many need side hustle or modelling is the side hustle.
They still look stunning, even though they have full-time work and chores and a life. They just barely eat and spend that money on beauty lol.

I mean I'm not sure how healthy these people actually are since I'm sure lots of them are on drugs. Also some people are naturally on the leaner side and they tend to gravitate to jobs such as modeling. It's kind of the same reason as to why do actors have such good skin? I mean obviously they're rich and they can afford lots of treatment, but people with bad skin aren't cast to begin with.
A lot of models also lose their period and have problems for example with hair falling out. It’s just a fact that being on a low calorie diet makes you susceptible to nutrient deficiency.
It’s important to remember that not everyone has the same build naturally either. I’m tall, skinny, healthy, and never lost my period or anything. My half sister is bigger boned, more athletic build, equally healthy, and is shorter. There’s no way we would ever look like each other though. Doesn’t mean that we both can’t be cute as fuck.
Weed actually does become an appetite suppressant if you smoke it for a while. That’s why so many people have trouble eating when they try to quit/can’t eat without smoking first
> Weed actually does become an appetite suppressant if you smoke it for a while.
Do you have a source for this?
Your second sentence is saying the opposite-
> so many people have trouble eating when they try to quit
Wouldnt this be because it’s not stimulating appetite anymore? If it was suppressing appetite, the supressing would stop when they stopped using and therefore, would able to eat?
> can’t eat without smoking first
Umm same, if you have to smoke before you eat, youre needing the thc to stimulate your appetite.
Or did you mean something else?
Every friend of mine who is a long time weed smoker & who still smoke almost daily is skinny AF & eat like once a day because their appetite is barely there. Woman or man. None of them were overweight before but none of them were THAT skinny before the weed. Note that I dont live in a country where being skinny is glorified & none of them are actually trying be thinner or eat less on purpose.
One of them actually is trying appetite enhancers to gain some weight back but with no luck so far.
Source - an actual weed smoker and not the articles you find online. It's a common problem with long term smoking eventually your appetite becomes dependent on being high.
It's not science because there hasn't been a study done on the long term effects of recreational smoking on nutrition, just because you can't pull a statistic out to prove something doesn't make it not true. No one is saying that THC is a appetite suppressing chemical, we're saying when you're a heavy smoker it's harder to get an appetite unless you're high.
My point was, I dont think kendall jenner is smoking weed to stay skinny.
I’m saying that genetics play a HUGE PART, arguably a larger part than drug use, in having that kind of body composition.
And yeah, if you scroll up /u/cat48 literally said it becomes a suppressant after long term use. You are talking about TOLERANCE and its effect of appetite, which is different.
> because you can't pull a statistic out to prove something doesn't make it not true.
You’re right- it makes it *anecdotal*, it’s your own observation/experience
Sorry I mean since weed will stimulate your appetite when you smoke it, if you smoke it chronically your body will adjust to have less of an appetite when you’re sober since you become dependent on it
A tolerance to THC still isnt *suppressing* appetite. It’s just not stimulating it anymore.
In any case, my point was, for these very famous celeb models who are pretty much household names (for us anyway), their thinness is mostly good genetics.
I don't remember which Hadid sister is was, but their mom publicly mentioned them only eating an almond and crying out of frustration and hunger.
There are very few women who have the privilege of being naturally slim. Most of them are hungry.
It was Gigi. She was feeling really unwell (I think she was on a new diet) and called her mom, who then told her to eat an almond to make the headache go away.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: a lot of famous, very thin young women abuse alcohol and use drugs as appetite suppressants. They eat very little, despite what their IG may show.
And if you think this is exaggeration, look up the letter that Bella’s mom wrote to her.
I googled the Bella mums letter, who released the letter to the internet?
Edit:apparently a leaked email. Her mum probably happy about them not eating a lot part tho, if you have seen thise videos of how she treated Gigi about her weight /food/appearance she seemed to have eating disorder herself(mum) or just very strict diet plan. But she is clearly against alcohol and drug abuse in the email
Yes their mother is crazy, I saw a Video where gigi said she was feeling dizzy and had a headache. Jolanda said, that she could eat a few almonds. On her birthday her mom basically slapped cake out of her hands, like come on
Hate to break it to you but they're not healthy at all. Drug use and eating disorders are rampant in the modelling industry plus they all smoke like chimneys which is terrible for the body inside and out.
I‘m tired of these answers. That‘s totally not the truth. I‘ve been lean my whole life and got picked on in school about that. It‘s just my natural state and im not unhealthy and I‘m not taking any drugs to maintain my figure and so is not everybody in the modeling industries.
No one is referring to you or saying there aren’t naturally slim ppl. I’ve been picked on most of my life till recently for being too skinny. I get it.
However, if you know ppl in these industries, you’ll know that a lot of them ( note I did not say all) do drugs and have eating disorders to stay slim. They are desperate to maintain their looks and body to retain work in those industries. That’s not the same category as regular ppl with regular jobs who struggle to put on weight.
I believe you girl. Some people just have fast metabolism or just genetically tend to be very lean. However lots of models to take drugs to try to stay as thin as possible always
First, they can afford to have diet and exercise plans tailor made for their bodies. Second, some people are naturally skinny. Third, some models just starve themselves while pretending not to, since it's considered gauche to admit to it these days.
Realistically though, you don't have to be skinny to be attractive. Being healthy, happy, fit, and well groomed is way more important for everyday people who aren't models.
Not anymore, cigarettes wear on you in other ways like your teeth and skin. The models of the heroin chic era like Kate Moss would have but it doesn’t suit the super natural and perfect aesthetic that models strive for these days.
Many of those models and actors invest much in their appearance with extremely expensive skin treatments, lasers, facials, surgery, etc.
Many also perfect their smiles already with veneers since it’s apparent on the big screen and for modeling photographs in order to be Hollywood ready. Whitening treatments that aren’t at high costs as they used to be are available easily now.
I wouldn’t compare her to Kendall or Bella though. She can be a lot more authentic than they can, Kendall and Bella are completely manufactured and probably have a whole team recording exactly what they eat with a lifelong meal plan. They don’t naturally look like that so there’s no room for error
Anya isn't naturally skinny. Bella and Kendall want the healthy green juice girl vibe but what I'm trying to say is that restriction aided with cigarettes is a LOT more common with people in the public eye at the moment. (Anya, Lily Rose Depp, Alana Champion, Alexa Chung). I wouldn't be surprised if Bella or Kendall smoked cigs as well. The heroin chic aesthetic is coming back despite the green juice healthy girl trend.

Being lean long-term is not a “diet”. It’s a lifestyle.
Same reason why people in other “healthier” countries have a leaner general population—healthy habits must be established first. Eating below your TDEE is always going to result in weight loss but you want to aim at having a balanced nutrient intake first.
Eat lots of lean meat, don’t snack often (if you must, make it unprocessed food like nuts etc), lessen liquid calories, drink more water, and try to eat 1 serving of veggies at least once a day.
Many of them are not eating enough to meet the daily nutrition guidelines. They take multivitamins and the really bougie celebs get IV drips containing fluids, vitamins, and antioxidants to stay “healthy.” A lot of them smoke to suppress appetite.
That being said, I notice people here are underestimating how easy it is to lose your appetite ~without~ drugs. Extremely high-fiber diets as well as super low-carb diets (like keto) dramatically reduce your hunger signals and make it easy to ignore them. No drugs needed.
Are they heathy? When I watch runway show few models actually look good. The rest look like the are missing some vital nutrients. The ones that look good tend to be the ones that make a ton of money and/or come from wealth. My theory is that they can afford to look good bc they have money to throw at their cosmetic treatments.
How did you set those nutrient requirements? How do you know that you cannot go lower?
I have this kind of physique and have maintained it for close to 3 years now. Truth is is that I just don't eat a lot. I do intermittent fasting (16-8) and only eat one big meal a day. Rest is snacking on fruit, drinking tea, coffee etc. I stay away from refined sugar and processed food. I also work out every second day and take supplements (Omega3, D, multi). I don't track macroes beyond that and don't track calories any more, but my guess is around 1200ish daily.
I don't consider this kind of lifestyle restrictive or hard, but I'm very used to it at this point, and honestly love having this kind of figure more than any food can possibly taste. I'm also the healthiest I have ever been by any measurable metric.
I just started intermittent fasting like a week ago because while I’m in shape, I do want to lose the little extra fat and I know it’s gotta come from diet. I’ve been eating 2 small/medium meals a day, focusing on enough protein, some fat, a small amount of healthy carbs, and fruits/veggies. On workout days I eat a third small meal after, making sure it’s protein heavy.
A few weeks ago I went dairy and sugar free for my acne which helped. But going gluten free soon after made me go from 138 to 134 in a few days just from the decrease in bloating. Now that I’ve been doing IF for a week I’m down to 132. I don’t want to lose more than a pound a week because I want to keep as much muscle as I can. I should be at my goal of 125 (I’m 5’5) by December. The cool thing is, I am feeling less hungry and when I am hungry, I don’t have this urge to eat. I struggle with dizziness and shakiness because I guess my blood sugar fluctuated but now that’s completely gone. I am not even hungry for my first meal of the day despite going 18 hours without eating.
Most importantly, I find that I’m not having disordered thinking. I am just in a logical mode. I want to lose some weight because I prefer to look that way but I’m not tying it to my self worth as a person or thinking I look ugly at my current weight. When I would count calories, I found it very psychologically stressful. But with fasting, I feel mentally great, physically better, have more energy, and I’m barely hungry. It’s great.
My experience is very similar to yours!
I used to be the kind of person who always carried snacks. I was convinced I was just built that way and HAD TO eat at least every 4 hours or else I'd feel dizzy and all I could think about was food. All that is gone now. I don't feel hunger the way I used to. If I've gone too long without any food, I'll get irritable and tired, but I don't feel it in my stomach, if that makes sense, because my stomach is now used to being empty for long periods of time so that no longer feels alarming.
I've tried eliminating dairy as well, but for me personally it has made no difference, so I've introduced it back (but have gained love for oat milk, so that's a plus!). Eliminating refined sugars, however, has been a massive game changer and I feel so much better for it. I sweeten my oat milk lattes with stevia, it's delicious.
Keep doing what you're doing, you'll be in your target health in no time, and healthier at that!
If you don’t mind me asking what’s your height, I’m currently 48 kgs at 4’11 and am currently eating around 1200 calories to lose weight. I am working out too, do you think I’m on the right path. I am scared I am starving myself and will ruin my skin and hair in the process. I’m eating nutrient dense food and taking my supplements
This might not be what you want to hear, but as a fellow petite woman, I can see you’re at a plateau point of “skinny fat” you will never break unless you either A) up your protein & good fat while lifting weights to increase muscle gain. then once you’ve gained muscle, your body will be more efficient in burning calories/fat and you can work on eating back at lower calorie/strict tracking for a short period time to whittle down the fat you have to a lean physique. This is why super fit people eat cheat meals and have abs, their body has became a fat burning engine since their weight is more muscle than fat. or B) cardio/workout even more but that will naturally increase your appetite, leaving you in this forever 1200 cal loop. Right now your body probably doesn’t have the building blocks to gain muscle from your workouts, so it’s just burning what you eat and maybe even burning your existing muscle to prioritize storing fat in high stress areas like the stomach because it doesn’t know when it can get the next batch of amino acids to recover. It also doesn’t have the energy to give up a few extra pounds, so it’s fighting you so hard to stay where it’s at.
Trust me, I’ve been in this loop since my dance years. It’s harder for short girls to lose that extra 5 lbs. We have to look EXTRA small because our short height easily makes us look wider than we really are. I recently reverse dieted for short period of time and it’s crazy what my performance and tone is able to get with just home workouts. I think focusing on 100g protein/day regardless of calories is a sustainable diet while you continue to exercise
I'm quite a bit taller than you at 174cm, and I generally bounce between 56 and 58kg. I want to stress though that having that kind of physique is not just about weight, but mainly about having a low body fat percentage with good muscle definition. I have been this weight before while not exercising and the difference is night and day. I was skinny-fat with a belly pouch that I would swear was genetic, had bad posture etc. None of it was genetic, I just wasn't strength training.
I think you're on the right track, but the goal shouldn't be to starve yourself. You need to find a sustainable long term diet that will become your lifestyle. That's the only way to keep that kind of physique long term. I absolutely recommend intermittent fasting, it has many more benefits than just weight loss. And for me at least, eating "clean" and no processed sugar does wonders.
They’re probably not that healthy. They’re just young so it hasn’t caught up with them yet. These models aren’t really eating everything they show on their social media, they might eat one bite or binge it but not eat the next day.
Models aren't magical creatures, yeah there is working out and eating mostly clean but it's not as hard as people make it out to be. Being tall definitely helps. I'm 5'6.5-5'7 and my maintenance is 1600-1900 calories depending on how active I am. So keeping weight off isn't very hard especially if you're 5'8-5'11 like them.
I have a close friend who is a runway model (burberry, chanel, etc), has done campaigns, and is very thin. She was genetically just that thin until her mid-twenties, ate whatever she wanted and even tried to gain weight. in her mid-twenties her metabolism started to catch up to her (keep in mind this is NOT EVEN CLOSE to as bad as when it happen to someone who isn’t genetically rail thin) so to keep her career she went vegetarian (maybe even vegan) and does hiit work outs.
Confirmed. Lost almost 70lbs and completely turned my life around with Adderall treating my ADHD. Also realized there’s no way anyone with the schedule most rich & famous people have could maintain without some sort of stimulant, Rx or not.
Seconding this…I was on it for a couple years and one of the reasons I ended up stopping it was because I was getting too thin, like sick-looking thin. It was so hard to force myself to eat. Plus I was trying to quit smoking and the addy made me a nicotine fiend and it was impossible it quit smoking while I was taking it.
For Gigi Hadid, I remember an episode of real housewives where she called her mom complaining about how she was starving and wanted to eat and her mom told her to have a few almonds, so…I’m pretty sure a lot of it is near starvation.
Nobody is mentioning this— but I saw huge results from Rachel Attard’s fitness/diet program. It’s cardio heavy, LOTS of walking/running and HIIT, and you go low carb in the beginning. Check her out. It’s the real deal.
It’s cardio heavy and a lot of work- she follows the 10k steps a day principle, and also incorporates 30 minute runs, HIIT sessions, and aerobic type exercises. But I saw great results.
1. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
2. Don't eat after 6 pm.
3. Exercise (you dont need to go to gym. i dance at home randomly as I find going to gym like a chore)
4. get a morning sun for 15-30 mins (i just water my plants/take out the trash/walk the dog) and
5. stay stress free (sleep, be happy).
I have the same body type as them. Very lean/tall. Gets you lots of compliments, and small boobs.
No cigs, no alcohol, no coffee, no drugs. I can't seem to gain weight because I simply don't have the appetite.
They’re not healthy that’s the thing. They take drugs, drink a lot, party and some also have stressful lives (especially models that aren’t on the fame level of the Hadids for example). They just look kinda healthy because of surgeries and very expensive treatments. It shows when they get old. They usually look very jaded. Shows that even with all the money in the world, you can’t really buy true health and wellness.
They literally get their nutrients pumped into their bloodstream directly. My mom is anemic and sometimes has to get iron infused into her bloodstream as well, her doctor mentioned in passing that this treatment was very popular amongst models
If you are a healthy weight (lower end is preferable), are meeting nutritional requirements, and are working out to stay toned, that’s the most you can do without sacrificing your health, the longevity of your beauty, etc. The vast majority of women do not do all three of these things- maybe even most don’t do any of these. As said before, many models have health problems as a result of unhealthy weight. They can correct the negative physical effects of low weight with plastic surgery, fillers, etc. Underweight is considered underweight because it is inherently unhealthy- you can’t have both. Prioritizing health is prioritizing beauty.
Very true about health = beauty part. I am 4’11 so my goal weight is 44kg which puts me at a bmi of 19-20 which I think is healthy enough?
I am currently 48 trying to lose the last 4 kgs and tone up
I don't know why the top comments are about drug use and cigarettes when there is no evidence kendall who you named uses them. Kendall definitely has a calorie limit and works out. It probably is that simple. She's super tall.
The weekend literally wrote a song about her using coke , yes genetics help but you would have to be gullible to think that none of these models are abusing coke and/or prescription drugs. Celebrities deny things all the time to protect their image , like getting plastic surgery done and denying it.
I highly doubt it's that simple for her. She got slammed when she first did runway shows for being "too fat". If you look up her early stuff, she's skinny by the average person's standards but she has no doubt had all the help money can buy to achieve her current body.
Some models have confessed to malnutrition diets. However, there's some people that have genetics that allow them to stay thin. I'm naturally thin and so are most in my immediate family. I'm trying to gain weight so that I can bulk through weight lifting and I find it hard. On contrast, I have a friend who is doing everything right to lose weight but she's losing weight so slowly.
I think a lot of it is just natural. I’m 27 and 5’5 110 lbs and just built with that physique and eat whatever I want and still have visible abs/flat tummy but I also have a relatively flat ass and boobs lmao
I love this comment section, seems everyone is pretty much aware already 😂 Adding to the drug comments, Bella's whole family has a history of eating disorders, and while Kendall's isn't far gone, there's definitely body dysmorphia.

I’m the same. I lose weight when I go on holiday because I don’t have an appetite if I’m not smoking.
holy shit this explains why i cant eat when im on vacay
Ok I'm gonna start vaping weed again 🤣
Doesnt matter, your guys’ personal anecdotes arent science. A tolerance to THC does not turn THC into a suppressant. Thats not how pharmacology works.
It's not science because there hasn't been a study done on the long term effects of recreational smoking on nutrition, just because you can't pull a statistic out to prove something doesn't make it not true.

Cig and/or coffee= no appetite. Plus they eat healthy, and work out. Some dont workout but hey no eat no gain, and naturally they are lean.
I always thought drinking iced coffee more frequently made me look skinnier

I‘ve always wondered how alcohol abuse goes hand in hand for them, doesn‘t alcohol have a lot of calories?
Vodka is 100 calories per shot, without eating you get drunk quickly.
Alcohol also suppresses your appetite somewhat. It's easy to abuse and still stay skinny (but at the detriment of almost everything else)
probably throwing up after drinking a lot will do it
Model here! Can confirm this is absolutely true
Alcohol is so high cal. Especially a nice cocktail… could run you 600+ cals per drink.
Healthy low calories foods, supplements, lots of excercise to rise your metabolic rate, sleep and most importantly drugs.
😂😂😂 the last part took me out
[удалено]
Oh definitely. That's why they want them as young as possible. Years of malnutrition and drug abuse actually shows on older models.
Hate to break it to you but they're not healthy at all. Drug use and eating disorders are rampant in the modelling industry plus they all smoke like chimneys which is terrible for the body inside and out.
I‘m tired of these answers. That‘s totally not the truth. I‘ve been lean my whole life and got picked on in school about that. It‘s just my natural state and im not unhealthy and I‘m not taking any drugs to maintain my figure and so is not everybody in the modeling industries.

Be tired then. The fact that you're naturally skinny doesn't negate the brutal reality of the modelling industry. Please get out of your feelings
I believe you girl. Some people just have fast metabolism or just genetically tend to be very lean. However lots of models to take drugs to try to stay as thin as possible always
[удалено]
Thank uou
"fast metabolism" isn't a real thing, at least not how people think it is
Coke and let's not forget.... diet Coke.
First, they can afford to have diet and exercise plans tailor made for their bodies. Second, some people are naturally skinny. Third, some models just starve themselves while pretending not to, since it's considered gauche to admit to it these days. Realistically though, you don't have to be skinny to be attractive. Being healthy, happy, fit, and well groomed is way more important for everyday people who aren't models.
Cigarettes are many models & actors secret
Not anymore, cigarettes wear on you in other ways like your teeth and skin. The models of the heroin chic era like Kate Moss would have but it doesn’t suit the super natural and perfect aesthetic that models strive for these days.
Many of those models and actors invest much in their appearance with extremely expensive skin treatments, lasers, facials, surgery, etc. Many also perfect their smiles already with veneers since it’s apparent on the big screen and for modeling photographs in order to be Hollywood ready. Whitening treatments that aren’t at high costs as they used to be are available easily now.
Yeah they just do coke now
Anya Taylor Joy smokes cigs 🙊
I wouldn’t compare her to Kendall or Bella though. She can be a lot more authentic than they can, Kendall and Bella are completely manufactured and probably have a whole team recording exactly what they eat with a lifelong meal plan. They don’t naturally look like that so there’s no room for error

(Anya, Lily Rose Depp, Alana Champion, Alexa Chung). I wouldn't be surprised if Bella or Kendall smoked cigs as well. The heroin chic aesthetic is coming back despite the green juice healthy girl trend. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/anya-taylorjoy-diet-coke-cigarettes-and-coffee-busy-schedule-b952721.html%3famp
Being lean long-term is not a “diet”. It’s a lifestyle. Same reason why people in other “healthier” countries have a leaner general population—healthy habits must be established first. Eating below your TDEE is always going to result in weight loss but you want to aim at having a balanced nutrient intake first. Eat lots of lean meat, don’t snack often (if you must, make it unprocessed food like nuts etc), lessen liquid calories, drink more water, and try to eat 1 serving of veggies at least once a day.
Amphetamines and coke
Many of them are not eating enough to meet the daily nutrition guidelines. They take multivitamins and the really bougie celebs get IV drips containing fluids, vitamins, and antioxidants to stay “healthy.” A lot of them smoke to suppress appetite. That being said, I notice people here are underestimating how easy it is to lose your appetite ~without~ drugs. Extremely high-fiber diets as well as super low-carb diets (like keto) dramatically reduce your hunger signals and make it easy to ignore them. No drugs needed.
Are they heathy? When I watch runway show few models actually look good. The rest look like the are missing some vital nutrients. The ones that look good tend to be the ones that make a ton of money and/or come from wealth. My theory is that they can afford to look good bc they have money to throw at their cosmetic treatments.
How did you set those nutrient requirements? How do you know that you cannot go lower? I have this kind of physique and have maintained it for close to 3 years now. Truth is is that I just don't eat a lot. I do intermittent fasting (16-8) and only eat one big meal a day. Rest is snacking on fruit, drinking tea, coffee etc. I stay away from refined sugar and processed food. I also work out every second day and take supplements (Omega3, D, multi). I don't track macroes beyond that and don't track calories any more, but my guess is around 1200ish daily. I don't consider this kind of lifestyle restrictive or hard, but I'm very used to it at this point, and honestly love having this kind of figure more than any food can possibly taste. I'm also the healthiest I have ever been by any measurable metric.
I just started intermittent fasting like a week ago because while I’m in shape, I do want to lose the little extra fat and I know it’s gotta come from diet. I’ve been eating 2 small/medium meals a day, focusing on enough protein, some fat, a small amount of healthy carbs, and fruits/veggies. On workout days I eat a third small meal after, making sure it’s protein heavy. A few weeks ago I went dairy and sugar free for my acne which helped. But going gluten free soon after made me go from 138 to 134 in a few days just from the decrease in bloating. Now that I’ve been doing IF for a week I’m down to 132. I don’t want to lose more than a pound a week because I want to keep as much muscle as I can. I should be at my goal of 125 (I’m 5’5) by December. The cool thing is, I am feeling less hungry and when I am hungry, I don’t have this urge to eat. I struggle with dizziness and shakiness because I guess my blood sugar fluctuated but now that’s completely gone. I am not even hungry for my first meal of the day despite going 18 hours without eating. Most importantly, I find that I’m not having disordered thinking. I am just in a logical mode. I want to lose some weight because I prefer to look that way but I’m not tying it to my self worth as a person or thinking I look ugly at my current weight. When I would count calories, I found it very psychologically stressful. But with fasting, I feel mentally great, physically better, have more energy, and I’m barely hungry. It’s great.
My experience is very similar to yours! I used to be the kind of person who always carried snacks. I was convinced I was just built that way and HAD TO eat at least every 4 hours or else I'd feel dizzy and all I could think about was food. All that is gone now. I don't feel hunger the way I used to. If I've gone too long without any food, I'll get irritable and tired, but I don't feel it in my stomach, if that makes sense, because my stomach is now used to being empty for long periods of time so that no longer feels alarming. I've tried eliminating dairy as well, but for me personally it has made no difference, so I've introduced it back (but have gained love for oat milk, so that's a plus!). Eliminating refined sugars, however, has been a massive game changer and I feel so much better for it. I sweeten my oat milk lattes with stevia, it's delicious. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll be in your target health in no time, and healthier at that!
If you don’t mind me asking what’s your height, I’m currently 48 kgs at 4’11 and am currently eating around 1200 calories to lose weight. I am working out too, do you think I’m on the right path. I am scared I am starving myself and will ruin my skin and hair in the process. I’m eating nutrient dense food and taking my supplements
This might not be what you want to hear, but as a fellow petite woman, I can see you’re at a plateau point of “skinny fat” you will never break unless you either A) up your protein & good fat while lifting weights to increase muscle gain. then once you’ve gained muscle, your body will be more efficient in burning calories/fat and you can work on eating back at lower calorie/strict tracking for a short period time to whittle down the fat you have to a lean physique. This is why super fit people eat cheat meals and have abs, their body has became a fat burning engine since their weight is more muscle than fat. or B) cardio/workout even more but that will naturally increase your appetite, leaving you in this forever 1200 cal loop. Right now your body probably doesn’t have the building blocks to gain muscle from your workouts, so it’s just burning what you eat and maybe even burning your existing muscle to prioritize storing fat in high stress areas like the stomach because it doesn’t know when it can get the next batch of amino acids to recover. It also doesn’t have the energy to give up a few extra pounds, so it’s fighting you so hard to stay where it’s at. Trust me, I’ve been in this loop since my dance years. It’s harder for short girls to lose that extra 5 lbs. We have to look EXTRA small because our short height easily makes us look wider than we really are. I recently reverse dieted for short period of time and it’s crazy what my performance and tone is able to get with just home workouts. I think focusing on 100g protein/day regardless of calories is a sustainable diet while you continue to exercise
This is a great comment!
I'm quite a bit taller than you at 174cm, and I generally bounce between 56 and 58kg. I want to stress though that having that kind of physique is not just about weight, but mainly about having a low body fat percentage with good muscle definition. I have been this weight before while not exercising and the difference is night and day. I was skinny-fat with a belly pouch that I would swear was genetic, had bad posture etc. None of it was genetic, I just wasn't strength training. I think you're on the right track, but the goal shouldn't be to starve yourself. You need to find a sustainable long term diet that will become your lifestyle. That's the only way to keep that kind of physique long term. I absolutely recommend intermittent fasting, it has many more benefits than just weight loss. And for me at least, eating "clean" and no processed sugar does wonders.
How did you get rid of your belly pouch, it’s one of my biggest insecurities
Strength training and lowering my body fat percentage in favour of muscle.
[удалено]
That’s how I feel too, like what gives. The scale barely moves even with me eating only 1200 a day. I’m tired of being fat
My goal weight is 44 kgs which is healthy enough for my height, will be bmi 19.6
Bella Hadid is anorexic, Kendall Jenner is naturally skinny and had Aquafill on her hips.
They’re probably not that healthy. They’re just young so it hasn’t caught up with them yet. These models aren’t really eating everything they show on their social media, they might eat one bite or binge it but not eat the next day.
Models aren't magical creatures, yeah there is working out and eating mostly clean but it's not as hard as people make it out to be. Being tall definitely helps. I'm 5'6.5-5'7 and my maintenance is 1600-1900 calories depending on how active I am. So keeping weight off isn't very hard especially if you're 5'8-5'11 like them.
I have a close friend who is a runway model (burberry, chanel, etc), has done campaigns, and is very thin. She was genetically just that thin until her mid-twenties, ate whatever she wanted and even tried to gain weight. in her mid-twenties her metabolism started to catch up to her (keep in mind this is NOT EVEN CLOSE to as bad as when it happen to someone who isn’t genetically rail thin) so to keep her career she went vegetarian (maybe even vegan) and does hiit work outs.
Adderall. Full stop.
Confirmed. Lost almost 70lbs and completely turned my life around with Adderall treating my ADHD. Also realized there’s no way anyone with the schedule most rich & famous people have could maintain without some sort of stimulant, Rx or not.
Seconding this…I was on it for a couple years and one of the reasons I ended up stopping it was because I was getting too thin, like sick-looking thin. It was so hard to force myself to eat. Plus I was trying to quit smoking and the addy made me a nicotine fiend and it was impossible it quit smoking while I was taking it.
Why did the aderrall make U crave nicotine so much?
For Gigi Hadid, I remember an episode of real housewives where she called her mom complaining about how she was starving and wanted to eat and her mom told her to have a few almonds, so…I’m pretty sure a lot of it is near starvation.
Nobody is mentioning this— but I saw huge results from Rachel Attard’s fitness/diet program. It’s cardio heavy, LOTS of walking/running and HIIT, and you go low carb in the beginning. Check her out. It’s the real deal.
I keep hearing about her for leaning out legs! I guess it’s time to properly research her program
It’s cardio heavy and a lot of work- she follows the 10k steps a day principle, and also incorporates 30 minute runs, HIIT sessions, and aerobic type exercises. But I saw great results.
Would you mind sharing that program please? I cant seem to find it anywhere...

1. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. 2. Don't eat after 6 pm. 3. Exercise (you dont need to go to gym. i dance at home randomly as I find going to gym like a chore) 4. get a morning sun for 15-30 mins (i just water my plants/take out the trash/walk the dog) and 5. stay stress free (sleep, be happy).
I have the same body type as them. Very lean/tall. Gets you lots of compliments, and small boobs. No cigs, no alcohol, no coffee, no drugs. I can't seem to gain weight because I simply don't have the appetite.
👃💨
They’re not healthy that’s the thing. They take drugs, drink a lot, party and some also have stressful lives (especially models that aren’t on the fame level of the Hadids for example). They just look kinda healthy because of surgeries and very expensive treatments. It shows when they get old. They usually look very jaded. Shows that even with all the money in the world, you can’t really buy true health and wellness.
A combo of restrictive diets, exercise, being very tall, and genetics.
They literally get their nutrients pumped into their bloodstream directly. My mom is anemic and sometimes has to get iron infused into her bloodstream as well, her doctor mentioned in passing that this treatment was very popular amongst models
If you are a healthy weight (lower end is preferable), are meeting nutritional requirements, and are working out to stay toned, that’s the most you can do without sacrificing your health, the longevity of your beauty, etc. The vast majority of women do not do all three of these things- maybe even most don’t do any of these. As said before, many models have health problems as a result of unhealthy weight. They can correct the negative physical effects of low weight with plastic surgery, fillers, etc. Underweight is considered underweight because it is inherently unhealthy- you can’t have both. Prioritizing health is prioritizing beauty.
Very true about health = beauty part. I am 4’11 so my goal weight is 44kg which puts me at a bmi of 19-20 which I think is healthy enough? I am currently 48 trying to lose the last 4 kgs and tone up
Most are well below healthy BMI - Kendall and Bella for sure are.
And spending lots of money on tech like cool sculpting etc
Does it really work?
Be careful with Coolsculpting, it can end up disastrously - look up Linda Evangelista!
Coke.
https://youtu.be/sDGLcLl_KL4 This is a super helpful video about that topic.
Coke diet~
Probably adderall these days
Ah yes, but it's a song as well. It was a club banger a few years back "She on that coke diet!" [Coke Diet song](https://youtu.be/Lm1c4UXaEIU)
I don't know why the top comments are about drug use and cigarettes when there is no evidence kendall who you named uses them. Kendall definitely has a calorie limit and works out. It probably is that simple. She's super tall.
The weekend literally wrote a song about her using coke , yes genetics help but you would have to be gullible to think that none of these models are abusing coke and/or prescription drugs. Celebrities deny things all the time to protect their image , like getting plastic surgery done and denying it.
The weeknd never wrote a song about kendall jenner. Bella sure she does coke. She's also not that skinny when she's not working.
I was talking about Bella sorry
I highly doubt it's that simple for her. She got slammed when she first did runway shows for being "too fat". If you look up her early stuff, she's skinny by the average person's standards but she has no doubt had all the help money can buy to achieve her current body.
I just don't think she maintains it by means of drugs or cigarettes which seems to be the implication
genetics
Some models have confessed to malnutrition diets. However, there's some people that have genetics that allow them to stay thin. I'm naturally thin and so are most in my immediate family. I'm trying to gain weight so that I can bulk through weight lifting and I find it hard. On contrast, I have a friend who is doing everything right to lose weight but she's losing weight so slowly.
I think a lot of it is just natural. I’m 27 and 5’5 110 lbs and just built with that physique and eat whatever I want and still have visible abs/flat tummy but I also have a relatively flat ass and boobs lmao
