Los Angeles: Lizzo faced flak after she shared her 10-day smoothie detox diet details on social media.
On Instagram stories, Lizzo had shared details of her detox diet that she undertook under vigilance of a nutritionist. She had shared that she takes green smoothie, detox supplement, super food shake and what she labels as “beauty water”. Lizzo mentioned that she keeps herself hydrated with at least a liter of water and alkaline water, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The singer shared two photographs of her before and after the detox diet. She wrote alongside the image: “Both pics I’m laying down… no makeup… bruh the skin.”
Her post did not go down well with a section of social media.
A user accused her of “fatphobia”.
“I knew it was too good to be true @lizzo body-checking every day on a f**kin ‘body detox’ and showing it to her millions of followers. Thanks for the fatphobia, I hate it,” the user wrote.
“I literally almost got a lizzo tattoo once,, very glad now that I didn’t. If it was her own personal struggle she was keeping to herself that’d be one thing, but to promote it like that??? definitely a betrayal when she’s one of the few I thought I could look up to,” wrote another uder.
A social media user couldn’t believe it. “Oh no. Tell me my eyes are lying and I didn’t just open Instagram to find @lizzo promoting a liquid diet and shitty detox pills with before and after photos p l e a s e. I’m mad at fatphobia, normalized toxic diet culture and the societal pressure to lose weight and be thin.”
