Lori Harvey clapped back at critics who called her out for her weight loss techniques on social media Friday. Lori told her fans and followers that she ate only 1200 calories for weeks, to drop the pounds.
Listen:
Lori, 25, revealed how she dropped 15 pounds of ‘relationship weight’ when she first started dating boyfriend Michael B. Jordan.
‘When Mike and I got together, I gained like 15 pounds of relationship weight, and it was horrible,’ she began her TikTok video. ‘None of my clothes fit. It just was not okay.’
She continued, “‘I’ve been consistently doing pilates for the past year. I’ve done it for a few years but I’ve been really consistent the last year, ‘ she continued, saying for the first six weeks that she even worked out twice a day.”
She then explained how she ate only 1200 calories, while maintaining a crazy workout schedule.
Twitter immediately bashed Lori. “Please don’t eat as low as 1200 calories guys,’ one TikTok user wrote while another said, ‘omg 1200 is so low!!’
Another person on Twitter wrote, ‘I have a degree in nutrition Sciences. 1200 – 1400 calories is the amount recommended for children aged 2 to 3. you’re starving yourselves.’
Here’s a chart from the FDA, which shows that an active 3 year old should be eating 1200 calories.
