  • “When did she become viral for being hot? It’s common for celebrities to fast before promotions, so I understand. Even athletes don’t drink water during the season and just work out.”
  • “Wow, 12 kg? She had that much fat to lose? It’s good she didn’t pass out after eating only that much.”
  • “They’re really good at viral marketing…”
  • “This is just starving and not a diet…the diet community sites will grab the back of their necks if they see this.”
  • “This is just for right before the comeback, so there’s no need to fuss about it.”
  • “Most people diet rigorously when something important comes up. Why do celebrities always get criticized for dieting…”
