“Very baggy? You must be a minus 0,” a second follower added. An online troll told Kelly that she needs to eat a “sandwich.” Several comments claimed that the former soap star looked “too thin.” However, not all of the comments were bad. One fan wrote that Kelly looked “very cute” in the jumpsuit.

Kelly Ripa opened up about her diet before

Earlier this year, the Broad City star discussed her diet. She shared her food diary as part of Harper’s Bazaar special video series. Kelly Ripa revealed that she eats almond butter and cinnamon mixed with green apples.

“I eat like a porridge, if you will,” she said.

When it comes to lunch, Kelly has a “microgreens” salad.

“The avocado toast kick-off 2015 to 2017 was two years where an avocado toast was pretty much the foundation of my diet,” Kelly explained. “Sometimes, I would fry an egg and add that on top. Sometimes, a piece of cheese would accompany the avocado toast. But the avocado toast was a real staple of my diet.”

Kelly is on the alkaline diet, which means she only eats alkaline foods, instead of acidic foods, to maintain the pH levels in her body. According to Everyday Health, the alkaline diet is a gluten-free and vegan diet that includes fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, and the occasional glass of wine. But Kelly quit alcohol three years ago.

While the alkaline diet doesn’t contribute to weight loss, it could given the approved list of foods. But it hasn’t been scientifically proven to maintain the alkaline pH in your body. While Kelly’s diet includes plenty of healthy foods, there is no evidence based on this theory. No amount of food is going to change or alter the pH levels in the body.

  1. Kelly Ripa shouldn’t feel overly concerned her weight. Sure she’s small at 102 pounds on her 5’3″ body frame but let’s make it clear she isn’t anorexic like Cathy Rigby (4’10”) Patty Duke (5′) and Sally Field (5’21/4″) were! And I saw the segment of Size 2 Petite Kelly in the jumpsuit she wore with sheer sandalfoot suntan pantyhose under the jumpsuit! Kelly even interviewed Cathy in 2009 and only mildly talked about Cathy’s anorexia! She is pretty and she looked sweet in the jumpsuit and pantyhose she wore! Kelly’s small boned and small framed with pretty legs! Just be happy being 5’3″ Kelly! Love you!

    1. Let’s make it clear she isn’t anorexic? How in the world would you or anyone else that doesn’t live with her know? Even people that live with other people often don’t know if their partner is anorexic or bulimic. I’m not saying she is anorexic, but it’s better if concerned people acknowledge it rather than brush it off like so many do. It can be a matter of life and death.

  2. There is some kind of a disorder going on with Kelly. she no longer looks like a woman but a boy. She needs to talk to someone, and she is obsessed with exercise, signs of anorexia for sure.

    1. Yes! That always bothers me when I look at her. Her head appears huge compared to her body. She looked much better when she was on AMC and had a tad bit more weight on her. I wonder if her husband told her that he likes skinny women.

  3. When I see her on TV I want to throw up. There is a head (albeit, pretty)……and beneath that an almost-skeleton. Not sexy at all. I have always wondered what kind of guy could sleep with someone who is the size of a little girl. I have noticed that she wears a lot of frocks with puffy sleeves and wondering if that’s to give the illusion that she is bigger. Sorry….just not womanly at all.

  4. She is very small boned, and thin. However, so are other actresses. Women who exercise, keep their bodies toned and maintain their slim body weight look much better as they age. She has no rolls of fat around her middle, and looks fabulous in her form fitting outfits. Women who make the comments about her weight are jealous, I think.
