This is especially true for celebrities and people who live in the public eye. Here are a bunch of celebs who were called out for their unhealthy habits around food.
E!
Warning: This post contains discussion of restrictive eating.
On The Art of Being Well podcast with Dr. Will Cole, Gwyneth revealed that a typical day of eating starts with fasting until lunchtime, then after exercising for an hour, she'll typically have some soup — which is often just bone broth.
After a clip of the podcast went viral on TikTok, people slammed her for promoting under-eating and diet culture, labelling the star an "almond mom." A dietician told BuzzFeed that Gwyneth's diet "definitely screams disordered eating to me."
4.People weren't pleased when David Beckham revealed that his wife Victoria eats basically the same thing every day.
5.Lizzo had a lot of angry fans after she went on a 10-day juice cleanse.
Back in 2020, Lizzo shared a bunch of videos to social media promoting the 10-day smoothie detox diet she was undertaking. “I feel amazing, and I think that it’s just great to reset your stomach and reset things, especially when you deal with gastrointestinal issues like I do," the singer said. "I think I look f***ing great, too!"
Almost immediately, there was a toooooon of backlash. “You have an organ that detoxes your body. Cleanses and detoxes are scams, this is actually really disappointing to see,” one fan commented. “Seeing you promote diet culture is breaking my heart,” another added.
6.Twitter founder Jack Dorsey made headlines for saying that he only eats one meal a day, which people had a lot of issues with.
7.Hilary Duff said that she'll skip breakfast in favor of coffee, even if she's hungry.
On the Lipstick on the Rimpodcast, the former Disney star said: "Sometimes, I just try to drink black coffee in the morning to stave [sic] off my hunger," also acknowledging that Gwyneth Paltrow got in trouble for the same thing.
People didn't love hearing this from Hilary, as evidenced by the comments left on the TikTok clip from the podcast. "Dang hil duff... what a let down!" one person wrote. "This isn't the move... women are sick to death of this sh*t. I like these women, but this...is garbage. Hope you like the engagement," commented another.
