Irish dietitian slammed Kim Kardashian for promoting questionable detox diet

An Irish dietician has slammed Kim Kardashian for promoting a 10-day detox cleanse.


If you follow Kim K at all, you'll see from her Instagram and other social medias, that she promotes her diets heavily nearly all the time.
The Kardashian sisters are obsessed with their bodies. They are obsessed with diets, working out, detoxes and whatever else that puts them into shape.
However, some of these diets are just not realistic, and mostly, not healthy.
Irish dietician, Orla Walsh, posted to Twitter a few days ago and shared a tweet by Kim K.

Kim's tweet read: ''Today is day 4 of the cleanse and I am 5 lbs down. I didn't see any weight difference until today so that's motivation I needed today.
''I am only 5'3'' so this makes a big difference and for the next 3 days it's all liquids. Pray for me please''.
Orla, however, was not on board whatsoever. She said:
''This tweet is incredibly irresponsible. 5Lb this quick - most will be water & carbohydrate stores. It's important to protect your muscle & bone tissue when losing weight as well as metabolism.
''This message feeds into disordered eating, which is on the rise. Cleanse - what''.

This tweet is incredibly irresponsible. 5lb this quick - most will be water & carbohydrate stores. It's important to protect your muscle & bone tissue when losing weight as well as your metabolism. This message feeds into disordered eating, which is on the rise. Cleanse - what 💩 https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/987384377058279425 
The diet itself includes strict meals, snacks and meal-replacement shakes. This in itself doesn't even sound healthy, so why would people follow this?
In the meantime, drinking water is key to staying hydrated and is the best liquid to intake during a diet. Not 'meal-replacement meals', which leave you with very little nutrients, energy and fibre.

We never thought Kim Kardashian was the best role model ever, but this is just downright silly.
