To be curious as to what Kate Cambridge eats and how she exercises?

[SemperIdem]

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

Didn’t Geri H also have anorexia? I’m not sure she’s the best example.

Geri has always been tiny.

I was watching the video for Wannabe recently, and was struck by just how small she is.

We had a ride out to a ' posh' ( quite affluent) part of Essex the other day and a walk around the town.
I saw a few people around that were even thinner than the DoC looks on the tv! I don't normally notice , but this thread made me look. There are a lot of very expensive homes in this area and plenty of gyms and not a fast food type place in sight( near to the high street anyway. )
The old saying ' you can never be too rich or too thin' seems to be true ( for some people)

Yes, exactly @ The 80s - any pockets of privilege v less affluent areas you see this.

Think it's terrible the amount ofscrutiny we put each other under. I think she looks OK but her face would be younger if she put on a bit.

I consciously put on weight a couple of years ago because I was looking haggard.... Sadly I got carried away with my new liberation and am now a bit of a Porker hence the name...

Simultaneously I aged so am now old And fat... Go me!!

Geri looks great and healthy, but noticeably thinner than during the SG (there was a time when she was in the throws of anorexia and far too thin). So do Victoria, Emma and Mel B.

Apart from Victoria they all look great and healthy. But they are thinner.

But they are older aren’t they? People in their early 20s usually seem to look a little plumper due to their skin and composition, even when slender. If that makes sense (not sure it does but I know what I mean)

I think she is far too thin - it does not look good at all.

I think she is far too thin - it does not look good at all.

But why do you care? Who made you the arbitrator of other people’s bodies. It’s so strange.

@crispysausagerolls agreed. I'm chubbier in my mid 30s than in my 20s (size 10 rather than 8), yet my face is more gaunt 😭. I have a chiselled jaw and pointy out cheekbones now 🤔. I don't particularly like it!

I think that saying we’ve lost sight of overweight women only tells half the story. We’ve also lost sight of what too thin is

This is exactly the point I was trying to make. Celebs are under extreme pressure to be as thin as possible, you can see this with photo comparisons of when they first enter the industry! Difference is striking.

Also, people who just see final results on tv and say celeb can’t be too thin, because perfect skin and hair are astoundingly naive. Extensions/Botox/fillers are in common use because they have problems earlier than the rest of us due to extreme dieting.

Kate has had extensions for a long time and recently has had heavy use of a hair piece. She also uses Botox quite a bit, it’s a must when you are that thin (unfortunately her cessation during pregnancies makes this very obvious).

I really didn’t think people were fooled by this, but this thread proves otherwise 🤷‍♀️

Kate has had extensions for a long time and recently has had heavy use of a hair piece. She also uses Botox quite a bit, it’s a must when you are that thin (unfortunately her cessation during pregnancies makes this very obvious). How on Earth do you know ANY of this??

Yes how the hell does anyone know who uses Botox or hair pieces, unless they're a fly on the wall they know nothing and all the speculation about another woman is awful.

To be fair, you can see the connections on her hair extensions when she wears it in certain styles.

Lots of women use extensions as fillers for fuller looking hair rather than length, it’s pretty mainstream. Not just the realms of those with hair thinned by low calorie diets. Her hair appears very thick, it is perfectly possible that her natural hair is normal textured in terms of thickness (not thin, not particularly thick) but she uses the ‘extensions’ to give the impression of super thick hair.

Look at Maura on Love Island. Now she's a lot shorter than Kate, doesn't exercise AT ALL (by her own admission), yet has a very slender figure. Same with Molly Mae - similar figure. And the other one - Joanna - tiny figure. Arabella is possibly a similar height - did she look the epitome of health or what?
Granted, they are younger. But they are not as tall (Arabella excepted).

I genuinely think that for me alcohol is the killer. It puts weight on your gut. I'm trying my damndest to quit it for a while, just to get rid of the belly and muffin top spectacle I'm currently sporting. *sigh.

I'm 5'3, 54.5kg and have a tubby belly. This time last year I was 47 kg, flat tummy and felt and looked great.

Now I can't hold a plank for 10 seconds. Bootcamp yesterday nearly floored me.

Gentler exercise seems to work better for me than more vigorous exercise. So weights, pilates, yoga. Otherwise I eat like a horse after coming from the gym and undo my hard work.

I'm in my early forties though, so it seems harder to shift any weight now.

As for the notion of her stopping botox during pregnancy - if anything, her face looked plump and bloated during pregnancy - not a line in sight.

how the hell does anyone know who uses Botox or hair pieces

it's pretty obvious when you compare before and after photos. Nothing wrong with extensions at all, but your hair doesn't magically change when you get older.

Professional blow dry/top stylist at your disposal also makes most long hair look superficially glossy/better.

Yes how the hell does anyone know who uses Botox or hair pieces

I work in the beauty industry, you tend to be able to spot these things.

I just can’t with people outraged at the suggestion that celebs use these things. Of course they do! You would too if you were photographed a zillion times a day from every possible angle (and no guarantee editors will use the best shots). It doesn’t mean she has some sort of moral failing, she’s just using the expertise at hand to look as best she can.

I consider Botox use akin to dyeing your grey hairs. No big deal and makes you look a bit more professional (when used judiciously obvs). But then, I would, wouldn’t I, considering the industry I work in?

Many normal women use botox, hair pieces and fake nails and all sorts. Why wouldn't they? It's available, you might as well if that's something you want to do.

I agree the green dress didn't suit her/ was poorly tailored, she's just gotten older and slimmed in the face. I'm a larger woman and mine has lost the roundness it used to have.
I think of it like she's an A* student who works hard but its not hard work for her. Loads of other people could/would/do work just as hard and only get a C, there is an element of luck (genetics, money, mental health etc) wedged in there. Like when I saw Victoria Beckham in her workout gear she just looked like a thin petite woman not remotely unhealthy.

I think green is a colour that shouldn't be worn. I feel the same about purple. I think it does nothing for people.

Really...?

I'm a deep winter. Emerald green is one of the most flattering colours on me.

The Spice Girls admit they were starving themselves. VB said she found out she was pregnant in a hotel room and immediately ordered a proper meal by room service.
I don’t think Geri looks good at all. Very gaunt.I can’t imagine it’s a nice cuddle with someone so scrawny.
