I hadn't followed Alice since her cleaneatingalice days but came across her profile on IG this morning and saw her post about weight gain. There's been a real trend of fitness influencers from back in the day now coming out and admitting their six packs/lean physique wasn't just achieved by good diet/exercise but extreme restriction. I'm really glad she's speaking out about it, it's clear she's not been in a good place herself and has been a victim of diet culture as much as anyone but having said that... I do feel a bit of a side-eye coming on at how she monetised the heck out of just an unhealthy body type/diet whilst knowing she wasn't achieving those results through healthy means. I remember buying her LDN recipe book and buying the LDN cutting guides and feeling so insecure when I saw her body on IG and comparing with my own lack of results.... and her talk of how much energy she had, how good she felt etc didn't marry up with my experience. Can imagine how other young people have felt the same. I get she was probably in denial herself but I feel quite cheated by it all. Basic lesson learnt: don't believe or buy into anything most influencers sell.
