Totally superficial I know but I think she looks absolutely fantastic.

She's got multiple nannies and family support, she has time for serious amounts of exercise, and to cook properly.

Highly doubt she does the cooking!

EdWinchester · 14/07/2019 12:21

Her figure is amazing. I hope she's not military over what she eats and drinks and it's just down to good luck and a love of exercise.

Thump · 14/07/2019 12:24

I guarantee she could do more squats, planks, press ups, lunges, weights, burpees, boxing or sit ups than you or I. For all you may moan that she's thin - she has a very strong toned body.

EdWinchester · 14/07/2019 12:32

There's nothing about her to imply she's too thin.

She has an enviable figure and looks very healthy.

abitfedup · 14/07/2019 12:34

I don't know, but when I saw her at the tennis, I thought she looked too thin sorry.

That’s the thing - I don’t think she looks too thin at all. Very thin women in the public eye are 10 a penny but to me, Kate is eye catching because she looks so incredibly toned and fit with it.

she asked to not have any snacks of any kind, apart from fruits, when she stays somewhere.

Of course she is "military" about what she is eating, so is Victoria Beckham. When you are in the public eye and there are articles about a plaster on your finger Hmm, there's pressure...

She probably has very strict macros, exercise daily hopefully exercise she enjoys.

She is very fortunate to have a life of luxury, but there's certainly a lot of hard work involved. There's also help from some kind of beauty help (botox or other) to keep a fresh face which is harder when you are so skinny - and in her case, it's not natural, she wasn't so skinny when she was younger.

Designers must love her, she has as close a perfect shape for their clothes as can be, so good for her.

We have all different body shapes, but we could all be as relatively slim within our shape - if that makes sense. Most of us can't be bothered.

Amibeingdaft81 · 14/07/2019 12:38

I have a very similar body type
I run 4x a week
Yoga 2-4

I never eat junk, drink very rarely BUT I do eat! Avocado, salads, salmon, chicken, Greek yoghurts, lots of veg and fruit.

formerbabe · 14/07/2019 12:41

These threads always attract loads of posters who say they eat anything they want and are as slim as her. And anyone who weighs more is a fat heffer and anyone who thinks Kate is slim has lost sight of what a normal body weight is blah blah blah.

She's tiny

harriers · 14/07/2019 12:42

I'd love to have a figure like hers. Unfortunately the fact that I'm a greedy, lazy fucker prevents that Grin

Thump · 14/07/2019 12:42

Ye - yoga and Pilates were the two exercises that made a massive, noticeable and very quick change to my body shape, toning and conditioning and strength. I haven't started back at them yet - but you've just motivated me to get my arse back to them this week @Amibeingdaft81

formerbabe · 14/07/2019 12:43

Oh and posters are usually queuing up to declare they look exactly the same as her...Grin yeah, sure you do love.

ElspethFlashman · 14/07/2019 12:43

Her legs and arms are slim yet extremely muscular

No. The tennis players legs and arms were slim but extremely muscular. She used to look stronger but not so much anymore. You can't honestly look at the pics from yesterday and call her extremely muscular.

I'm not saying she's not fit - I have no doubt she is - but let's not be disengenuous about her muscle mass which is clearly lower than in previous years.

WhenOneFacePalmDoesntCutIt · 14/07/2019 12:45

yes, she is tiny, but that's not unnatural.

Not everyone likes junk food and stodgy food, some people are also used to a healthier than others.
Some people are also not obsessed with food, and might be a bit careful but without obsessing about it. kate got marginally bigger when pregnant with her 3rd child, but she wasn't huge either.
It's true that everyone is on a permanent diet - they just eat healthy.

You also have the extreme of posters thinking no adult can survive 2 hours without a snack.

formerbabe · 14/07/2019 12:47

Not talking specifically about Kate now, but I think many people see very thin celebrities and think they look healthy because they have amazing, hair, make up and clothes, whereas if you just looked at their body shape and disregard the overall look, they look like they're famine victims.

WhenOneFacePalmDoesntCutIt · 14/07/2019 12:47

Confused

why so bitter? I am not, but I know more than a few women who do, not going further than my office or the school gates.

summerofladybird · 14/07/2019 12:47

She can't be more than a size 6, she's extremely thin.

Tweetingmagpie · 14/07/2019 12:47

I think she’s too thin, even for her, she’s naturally slim but years ago she looked stronger.

I wouldn’t want to look like her tbh.

RubberTreePlant · 14/07/2019 12:48

Looks like a case of orthorexia.

ElspethFlashman · 14/07/2019 12:49

Well there was a photo on here last week of her in between 2 seven year olds at her garden thing and she was narrower than they were.

Of course people said "it's the angle!" when she was literally posing in between them face on to the camera. Grin

@Amibeingdaft81 how far do you run, out of interest?

ElspethFlashman · 14/07/2019 12:50

So yeah apparently there are loads of women here on MN who are thinner than 7 year olds. But they eat LOADS, lol.

WhenOneFacePalmDoesntCutIt · 14/07/2019 12:50

Looks like a case of orthorexia
or just a case of eating normally

but with the pressure of worldwide press dissecting your every wrinkle.

SoupDragon · 14/07/2019 12:51

they look like they're famine victims.

No they don't.

formerbabe · 14/07/2019 12:51

why so bitter?

Aww, love this passive aggressive questioning. What answer are you hoping for...because I'm a fat slag perhaps?

I am not, but I know more than a few women who do, not going further than my office or the school gates

Really? I never see anyone as slim as her.
