Followers of the 50-year-old Victoria’s Secret model said her claim about how few calories she consumes daily could encourage young women to begin starving themselves.
The judge for “America’s Got Talent” also revealed that her day usually starts off with a very low-calorie breakfast that consists of three poached eggs in warm chicken broth. When a follower asked her current weight, Klum pulled out a scale and stepped on it with her bare feet, to show that she currently weighs 138 pounds.
Klum’s purported 900 daily calories takes her close to what would be called a “very, low-calorie diet,” which can be considered a crash or semi-starvation diet,. Restricting calories to 800 calories or fewer is only advised when someone is under medical supervision and needs to quickly lose weight due to the health consequences of obesity.
Since Klum clearly isn’t obese and likes to present herself as healthy and fit enough to go swimming, boating and hiking around the island of Capri on a recent Italian vacation, she apparently has no medical need to be restricting her calories to 900 a day. “I don’t believe the 900 calories a day bit,” said a reader from Raleigh, North Carolina, commenting on the Daily Mail story. “At 50 years old and 5’9,” to maintain 138 pounds, she would have to be eating about 1,500 calories a day, and that is if she was sedentary, which she’s not. There is no way she’s living on 900 calories a day.”Others pointed to a darker and more serious message in Klum’s low-calorie boast.
