The Kardashians likes are pretty simple: attention, money, designer anything and Barbie doll proportions. Fortunately for them, quick-fix weight loss endorsements scratch three of those itches. So they are always peddling some supplement or plan that promises to give the customer the body they always wanted. Among the things they’ve been called out for with their spon-con is the fact that they claim these miracle drugs are responsible for their figures and not the professional trainers, in-home gyms and elite gym memberships and personal chefs/nutritionists. So when Khloe Kardashian decided to put her name to the latest weight-lo$$ product, she decided to take a new approach. Khloe copped to both a trainer and a nutritionist in her endorsement:
#ad Ok… I’ve posted with @flattummyco’s Shakes in the past and YES, I also use a personal trainer and nutritionist, but THESE SHAKES WORK to help get your tummy back to flat. Trust me you guys… Go get 25% off the same Shakes I drink 💕 https://t.co/VP4LdcEK7l pic.twitter.com/KuAlwxbp0N

As you can imagine, this was not received well. Buzzfeed compiled a good assortment of responses calling Khloe out. Many folks wanted to know what could these shakes possibly do that the trainer and nutritionist aren’t?
if you have a nutritionist and a personal trainer then what do these shakes add? pic.twitter.com/HEOx9PIBAz

It’s true. Khloe employs personal trainers and nutritionists. If those people are doing what they were paid to do, why would a mass-produced shake be necessary? Maybe it’s a quick fix thing, like if a person has a fancy function coming up quickly and they want that extra bit of bloat gone just for that one dress. And maybe this shake does that, but it isn’t healthy. Diuretics and laxatives de-bloat quickly, while dehydrating the body and destroying the bowels. It irks me because the people reading this misinformation are desperate and don’t deserve to be preyed upon for someone’s avarice. Khloe and her sisters’ figures are not sustainable without a dedicated fitness and eating regime and probably some help from Dr. Suction, if we’re being honest. A celebrity with a dynamite figure claiming they can eat whatever they want is silly. But celebrity snake oil salesmen are dangerous. This is exactly the kind of thing that Jameela Jamil goes after the Kardashian for, including Khloe’s latest tweet.

On a completely different note, if you’re like me and obsessed with Khloe’s shoes in her Insta pic, they look like they are Nike Zooms, which are my preferred running shoe, but it does not look like they are from this season *sad face*

Let’s not forget the plastic surgeons they have on retainer….
Seriously…ALL THAT MONEY spent on changing their looks…and other than Kourtney…they ALL look like something that was made in some weird replicant factory….
Actually Kourtney looks quite different as well. Her work is much more subtle, but she has had a lot of it done.
Why on earth would you mention the Kardashians’ nutritionists and trainers but not their plastic surgeons? That seems as disingenuous as Khloe doing so herself.
She looks ridiculous, they all do.
Is there really anyone left on this planet that believes anything the Kardashians say? They will sell ANYTHING for a dime. They don’t care. Also, they need to stop with all the photoshopped/filtered pics and videos. We know what you look like in real life, stop the fakeness !
Good grief Khloe looks insane. They all do but Khloe’s work is the worst. Her lips are so ridiculous and truthfully not attractive. Her nose gets smaller every year while her butt gets bigger. All the diet shakes and easy paychecks in the world wont fix their body dysmorphia but they’re going to keep on keeping on until they are all 100% silicone.
I don’t know a plastic surgeon who could be proud of that work. I’m sure it was very expensive, but it looks like how I imagine the doctors on Groupon do fillers. I’m all for a bargain, just not on your face.
In the top pic, her smile turns into a sneer because of over plumping those lips – girl, cut it out!
who is that in the white outfit on her insta page?
’cause that SURE AS HELL AIN’T Khloe.
(frankly, I LOVE it when this site posts candid pap/red carpet pics along side their ULTRA ‘shopped insta pics because it is LAUGHABLE to see the extreme difference between the image of themselves that they put out vs. what they actually look like.)
I’m pretty sure Khloe has body dysmorphia because those pics she posts of herself are tragically edited until they look absolutely nothing like her in real life. It’s actually sad.
sad? eh…these people have more money that most will ever see in their lifetime. hell, they have more money than some small countries.
if she really has body dysmorphia, she can see a psychiatrist, she sure as hell has the money for that, unlike a LOT of people in this country without health coverage.
and let’s remember, she’s not a very nice person, so I don’t feel sorry for her.
What even is her face?
They might be nice to their fans and people who meet them always talk about how gracious they are, but they’re so fucking toxic for young women that I can’t help but be anti- everything about them.
A friend of a friend went to see Kanye’s show in NYC last month and took pictures of Kim. IDK how she does it, but she is a good 20 pounds heavier in real life than she is in any pictures that she posts of herself or any paparazzi post of her. I’ve read silly things over the years about how they pay the paps to alter their pics, but seeing the pics that this person I know took really had me confused. Kim is A LOT “fuller” in real life than any pics I’ve ever seen of her so she must be wearing some extreme shapewear and paying a lot of people to mess with her pics. I was really surprised at the difference!
My point is that they base their self worth on sex appeal and sell a fake image to young women and their influence is staggering. It’s gross. People get upset about billboards and ads being edited, but the entire Kardashian/Jenner existence is one big ol’ cat fish that they refuse to admit is 100% fake. I hate that our society really takes these people seriously.
I so agree with you!
The damage they do to young women who follow their social media is devastating.
It has nothing to do with them being gracious at interviews or with fans.
The fact that they don’t see how they promote unrealistic body-types and the need to alter themselves to look a certain way … I can not forgive them for that. Considering the reach they have all over social media.
It’s not even personal trainers and private chefs. It’s surgery and Facetune. Khloe is not skinny. She thins herself out for Instagram with Facetune, so this whole spiel on how she became healthy and worked on herself is not really true. She Facetunes her photos to death, which is way worse because she gives people false hope and a false sense of admiration towards her.
People can work out without trainers. There are many activities that are free, such as going outside and running, or following youtube fitness videos. The issue here is that none of it is real. Not her ass, not the size of her waist, not her massive weight loss. So to shill these dangerous products while Facetunes herself is truly egregious.
Guys, you don’t need to be rich to work on your fitness. Many good habits are free. Become more active, drink water, cut back on sugar, try to exercise on your own! Don’t spend a cent on any weight loss product these losers advertise. Save your money.
Yes!
You don’t need persinal trainers or chefs to be healthy. It all starts with 2 simple things – be active and eat reasonably. You don’t even need to eat super clean or super healthy or super organic or whatnot – because, let’s face it, it can be too expensive for many of us. But noone can stop you from being active and not stuffing your face with unnecessary food.
Somewhat related – I saw this thread on Reddit the other day and you can see the FaceTune at work. Watch her jaw – it’s amazing/sad/hilarious.

The video at the above link is slowed down so you can see it, but you can also see it on her original post – it’s just not as obvious at a normal speed.

Yes I saw this too ! They just try sooo hard to hide what they actually look like. They really hate themselves but constantly preach about “loving yourself”. Hypocrites.
The duck lips? Really? At your age? A shake, no matter what is in it, cannot make your tummy flat. I can’t with these clowns, I just can’t.
