What Does Losing 16 Pounds in 3 Weeks To Fit a Dress Do for Your Body, Ask Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala 2022 sparks controversy over Marilyn Monroe's iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress
On May 19, 1962, Marilyn Monroe sang Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy, in her iconic dress, the dress that will make Marilyn Monroe a pop culture icon.
The dress that she wore three months before her death.
Gilded Glamour, The Met Gala 2022 Dress Code
Era of Extravagance. And stars, celebrities, and social media influencers graced the event in their ‘gilded fashion’. They flaunted that the 1% of society can wear anything and everything even the dress worn by Marilyn Monroe, a pop icon.
Who else but no other than Kim Kardashian? She will do anything and everything for more social media capital. But what was more disturbing was her admission that she lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks all because she wanted to fit in the Marilyn Monroe dress.
Trigger Warning: Body Image, Crash Diet
Many are unimpressed
Kim Kardashian's “It was this or nothing” Diet
Don’t even try what Kim is trying to promote, it is dangerous. She has all the resources to monitor whatever she wishes to accomplish, none of us have what she has at her disposal.
Her “It was this or nothing” diet is only discussed here to shed light on the dangers of celebrity stunts pulled by the likes of Kim Kardashian to gain more social media following.
Kim Kardashian in 2019, at the same Met Gala, was quoted to have said, she was ready to pee on herself, as she wore a custom Thierry Mugler minidress covered in white crystals that resembled water droplets. She would then ask her sisters to wipe her pee off her feet.
Yes, that's Kim Kardashian.
Let us not forget how she recently said, ‘Get your f — -ing ass up and work,’ because she feels they are the only ones who work hard for their money when the truth is the Kardashians take advantage of their staff.
As it came to light when one of her former assistants said she ate 99 cent meals to survive while working for her.
Kardashian went on to say that she adjusted her diet to fit into the dress, saying she avoided sugar and carbs and wore a Sauna suit all day. She also mentioned that she didn’t go starving but was rigorous with her diet, running on the treadmill and eating only the cleanest vegetables. Kim said she wanted to cry tears of joy when she finally fit into the dress after the painstaking process.
She did it, lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks, and became the star of the Met Gala, for Kim Kardashian it was mission accomplished.
Never mind if a 13-year-old girl follows her stunt and copies her starvation diet.
Starvation Diet
“I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I had three weeks and I had to lose 16 pounds…. It was like a role. I was determined to fit into it. I don’t think they believed I was going to do it, but I did it.” — Kim Kardashian in Vogue interview.
Days after the Met Gala and we are still talking about Kim, it only means we are serving her more than the pizza and donuts she said were waiting at her hotel room after her Marilyn Monroe stunt. Who knows if that was even true, right?
We are enabling her to try more dangerous stunts in the future. She will never stop; she feeds on the public’s attention. Good or bad publicity for the Kardashians is like the oxygen they breathe.
What is a starvation diet?
We are advised to eat less to lose weight. But what about when this is taken to the extreme?
Weight loss is hampered by “starvation,” or severe food restriction with very-low-calorie levels.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, depriving the body of meals might make weight loss more difficult. When you become hungry, your body goes into “survival mode,” which means it will preserve energy and cling to fat reserves.
The body will also break down muscle for energy, resulting in a slower metabolism.
Furthermore, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, and vitamin deficits can all be caused by fasting. It can also result in binge eating and other harmful eating habits.
Lili Reinhart calls out celebs for ‘starving’ themselves — CNN
Although Lili Reinhart of Riverdale fame, who skipped this year’s Met Gala didn’t name Kim Kardashian on her Instagram story.
“To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are…because you haven’t eaten carbs in the last month…all to fit in a f*cking dress? So wrong. So f*cked on 100s of levels.”
“To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala. When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word. The ignorance is other-worldly and disgusting.”
We all know that it is Kim that was being alluded to in her post. Since she posted it, Lili is trolled on Twitter.
And Lili Reinhart isn’t alone, health professionals, and doctors interviewed by the DailyMail call Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala crash diet dangerous.
Generally, it is safe to lose 1to 2 pounds a week, but Kim’s crash diet resulted in her losing 16 pounds is not only extreme but is a recipe for gaining back all the lost weight and more.
‘A lot of the time quick weight loss is water weight from being dehydrated, [but] it could also be from drastic restriction which could lead to disordered eating. — Dr. Salvatore told Fox News
Final words
Kim Kardashian and social media influencers will never stop, they thrive on publicity and controversy. They don’t care if they are criticized.
Disclaimer: This story should not be seen as weight-loss advice, it is best to see your doctor before embarking on any weight loss program.
When Kim Kardashian gaslighted women, it only gave her and her family’s new show publicity mileage.
Kim Kardashian has mastered the art of manipulating the public, full stop.
But her crash diet isn’t the only controversy, Kim Kardashian wearing the Marilyn Monroe dress has sparked a debate and has infuriated fashion conservators.
“The Met and Vogue celebrating putting a museum artifact on Kim Kardashian is a new low,” tweeted former Head Conservator of the Costume Institute at the museum (the very organisation the Met raises money for), Sarah Scaturro. Dr Veronica Isaac added: “Cannot believe this. Irreparable damage will have resulted. This is the exact opposite of curation. So many creative ways this effect could have been achieved. Devastating.”
Some have come to Kim Kardashian’s defense, calling her the modern-day Marilyn. I would leave it for you to decide which side you are on.
