Most models aren’t naturally scary skinny, but are willing to go to dangerous lengths to slim down to size zero status.
From eating tissues and cotton balls to snorting cocaine, taking drugs like Adderall and indulging in daily colonics, Breaking Celebrity News has details about the most outrageously extreme and devastatingly dangerous measures that models have taken to stay super skinny.
Russian poser Kira Dikhtyar admitted to Fox News in 2012 that her supermodel peers have relied on "packs of cigarettes, daily colonics, laxatives, Phentermine diet pills, Adderall, prescription drugs that suppress the appetite" to refrain from eating.
“I’ve heard stories that some modeling agents encourage girls to do speed and cocaine in order to speed up metabolism and eat less," she said. "And all kinds of injections are becoming more and more popular, from HCG injections that go with a 500-calorie diet plan to T3 thyroid injections that healthy models inject in an attempt to speed up their thyroid function, which results in a faster metabolism.”
Things get ridiculously intense as the time to hit the runway approaches.
“From taking water pills to fat flushes, models do everything they can to flush out any excess fat or water weight before hitting the runway,” Jackie Christie, fashion designer, Basketball Wives LA star and former model told Fox News. “Plus I’ve seen models do ridiculous cleanses and diets – the lettuce soup diet, the lemon juice diet, extreme diet pills etc. I’ve even heard of models detoxing a full month before a show and working out three times a day. It’s insane.”
