> In the early 2000s, there was a brief period where actresses pretended that their thinness was natural, almost accidental. Skinny celebrities confessed their love of burgers and fries in magazines; models undergoing profile interviews engaged in public consumption of pasta; leading ladies joked about how little they exercised and how much they hated it. It was all bullshit: no one looks like that without calorie restriction No, no. That's false. I can tell you from first hand experience there are women (and presumably men too, but I've never lived with a man) who actually are thin without trying. In fact, of all the women I've dated, the only ones who even remotely cared about diets, calories, exercise etc. were the fat ones. The difference is now fashion has changed towards that super-lean, "ripped", goes to gym look. Now actors (of both sexes) work out just before the camera goes on, get pumped and make sure they are dehydrated. It's just the Instagram fake reality on the big screen. If you look at beautiful actors from the beginning of cinema through to the 90s they were just naturally beautiful people with a healthy amount of body fat.
