Kim Kardashian Debated Skipping Met Gala, Why?

Kim Kardashian admitted that she debated skipping the Met Gala. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum made a fashionable appearance last month. She claims she lost 16 pounds to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress. Kim also unveiled her new platinum blonde hair color.

She squeezed into the dress that Marilyn wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy. Kim got a lot of backlash for wearing the dress in the first place. There were also questions as to whether she wore the actual dress or a replica. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! claims that it was the original.

Kim Kardashian slammed for unnecessary diet

Some fans think Kim Kardashian’s diet was unnecessary. They also slammed her for going on a dangerous diet. Critics and fitness experts also shared their thoughts. They agree that it’s dangerous for Kim to promote losing a lot of weight in just a short amount of time. The reality star fired back at the criticism.

In an interview with The New York Times, the 41-year-old addressed the backlash. She brushed off the criticism over her health. Kim Kardashian claims that she never goes to extremes. She claims that her routine consists of a healthy diet, running twice a day, and a sauna suit.

That’s when the reality star admitted she almost didn’t go to the Met Gala. Even if Kim hadn’t lost those 16 pounds, she would’ve skipped the red carpet event. Some would argue that the style icon would have her pick of dresses to wear to the biggest fashion event of the year. But, it was more important for her to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s dress.

“I didn’t do anything unhealthy,” Kim Kardashian declared. “I just simply couldn’t have gone, which wouldn’t have mattered. It was just important to me to reach that goal.”

In a previous interview with Vogue, she revealed that she lost 16 pounds in just three weeks. She was “determined to fit into it.” She skipped carbs and sugar during that time. Kim bragged that she celebrated with pizza and donuts on the night of the big event.

Promoting unhealthy standards?

Kim Kardashian has been accused of promoting unhealthy standards in the past. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, fans are concerned about her well-being. They think she’s lost too much weight in recent months. Kim looks smaller than ever, especially since she allegedly decreased her booty size.

Some fans think Kim and her sister Khloe Kardashian are copying the “heroin chic” look of the ’90s. The dangerous fad was first seen on models like Kate Moss, who was also the center of drug rumors. Kim and Khloe have been competing when it comes to their diet and fitness regimens. Fans think Kim saw her sister lose weight and wanted to follow suit.

Celebrity nutritionist and weight loss specialist Kim Pearson talked about extreme celeb diets like Kim Kardashian’s. She claims that it “often results in a subsequent binge.” The fitness expert told The Sun that the “16lbs will not all be fat loss.” It’s more likely that Kim lost water weight during that time.

“Going from a restrictive low-carb, low-sugar diet to eating highly processed, deep-fried and high sugar foods is not really a good idea,” Kim Pearson told The Sun. “A proportion is likely to be water loss which accompanies low carb diets. As soon as she eats carbohydrates this water loss will immediately be regained.”

The expert advises against crash diets since they can affect the digestive system, energy levels, immunity, and the menstrual cycle. It can even have negative effects on one’s mental health. Kim Kardashian’s diet could make the wrong impression on young girls and teens. Do you agree? Sound off below in the comment section.
