14 DAY TRIAL // A few months back, Kim Kardashian, former socialite and Paris Hilton hanger-on turned successful fashion and accessory designer, reality star and businesswoman, found herself in the middle of a controversy on the amount of retouching her magazine photos needed to look this good. Because of it, the star decided to lose weight with QuickTrim and working out – which is why she can now brag about amazing results like this.
Just the other day, Kim unveiled a brand-new snap of her before some promo shoot. Dressed in a pink-and-white swimsuit and with a very intense tan on (fake, most likely), the star is seen striking her best pose, with one leg in front of the other and abdominal muscles well clenched to show the kind of progress she’s been making in the gym.
The photo is, according to Kim herself, who uploaded it on her Twitter page, meant to show that QuickTrim actually works, especially if combined with regular workout routines. It is also supposed to illustrate that one can be fit without being skinny, which is precisely how Kim looks right now. Unfortunately, as her own followers point out, it could have helped if she hadn't resorted to tricks to look this good.
For instance, the photo seems to be taken from a high point so that it makes her look thinner than she actually is – sadly, at the same time, it also makes her look longer in the face and creates the impression that her head is disproportionate to the rest of her body. Then there is the question of the orange tan: it’s a known fact a good tan can make one look up to several pounds lighter, so perhaps this is why she seems drenched in fake tan. As one can easily note, her entire body is also covered in oil, which, again, may contribute to the impression of being lighter.
Still, no matter what detractors say, that does not change the fact that, a while back, Kim Kardashian made a promise to start living healthier and to see to her body more so that she did not have to lie to her fans by having her photos digitally altered, supporters point out. Even if QuickTrim might not be the healthiest approach to weight loss, as some researchers point out, Kim is also hitting the gym with regularity and has completely banished junk food from her diet, with minor exceptions.
