Scrolling through my news feed and came across this tidbit of info regarding cheat meals True or False? Lol
“I’ve been really strict with my diet, recently. When I grocery shop, I buy lean protein, carbs, fruits and veggies, but every once in a while, I like to treat myself and have a cheat meal.” Sounds easy, right? Well, it’s not. Even Kim admitted that. “It can be so hard (and boring) to eat really clean all of the time. A cheat meal allows me to enjoy food without feeling like I’m overindulging. My trainer, Mel, instructs that you should schedule a cheat meal about once every 10 days. This way you won’t lose any of the progress you’ve made at the gym. When you do them too often, your body’s hormones are thrown off,” she wrote. “Your testosterone, which is a muscle-making and fat-loss hormone, can change if you’re eating too many calories, which can make you gain weight.”

I trust Kim Kardashian for weight loss advice about as much as I'd trust an astrologer to perform heart surgery.
She's spouting the same woo you see everywhere else - the only difference is that her fame gives her a bigger voice.21 -
false (the logic; of course it's true you can gain weight if you are eating too many calories)6
-
I'm gonna be honest here... I would never, ever take fitness or health advice from Kim or the other Kardashians.59

Well, given her credentials consist of being a celebraty for no apparent reason, I'd say her credibility is about one step below Dr. Oz.21
-
I wouldn't take dietary advice from someone who *kitten* is the size of the moon! Shes attractive but her body is out of proportion.15
-
Kim Kardashian...yeah, that's enough to take the advice with a grain of salt. Or an entire salt lick.4
-
I’m a bit surprised. I was expecting some crazy detox diet from her to be honest. Perhaps some ACV.8

I remember seeing something about her doing a cleanse right before the Met Gala. I laughed and moved on.0 -
. When you do them too often, your body’s hormones are thrown off,” she wrote. “Your testosterone, which is a muscle-making and fat-loss hormone, can change if you’re eating too many calories, which can make you gain weight.”
So it's a change in testosterone levels that make us gain weight? Not an excess of calories?9 -
So it was the testosterone that made her butt hyooge.6

And waist trainers.
I was fairly certain before reading it that it would be a waste of 2 minutes. Apparently, I had them to waste. (Procrastination on paper writing, anyone?)8 -

I'd sooner take fitness advice from Kim Jong Un than Kim Kardashian.26

youre seriously taking ANYTHING a kardashian has to say as truth?6
-
I am only aware of the Kardashians because people post about them online and even that seems like too much exposure.12

How do you weigh evidence? Kim’s say-so isn’t even close.1

Up until the point she starts spouting pseudoscience it's actually fairly sound advice
tl:dr version for everyone:
Stick to your diet and buy healthy food;
Eat a cheat meal occasionally and don't feel bad about it;
Some pseudoscience bs
