KIM’S DIM WEIGHT-LOSS STUNT DOESN’T ADD UP

-

SOCIAL media megastar Kim Kardashian, above, claimed that she crash dieted so she could fit into the Marilyn Monroe dress she wore to fashion event the Met Gala last week.

She said she lost 16lb in three weeks by drasticall­y cutting calories and running on a treadmill. What a plonker.

For a start, I doubt anyone already so slim would be able to lose more than a stone in such a short amount of time, even if starving. People with serious illnesses don’t waste away at such a rate.

And a massively restrictiv­e diet on top of feverish exercise like this is simply a form of eating disorder – a mental illness.

At worst this sends a message to those struggling with these sorts of conditions that it’s acceptable, a good way to behave or possibly even glamorous.

So why claim it? For attention, I presume. Well, she got it. Of course, it’s been said by others commenting on Kim’s seemingly limitless stupidity that she is setting a bad influence. But I doubt she has that many admirers these days – I think most smart girls will just think, how sad that she has to resort to stunts like this.
