Why Is Ariana Grande So Skinny? Cynthia Erivo’s Emotional Confession Will Leave You in Tears – ‘There’s Not Much Time Left’

Why Is Ariana Grande So Skinny? Cynthia Erivo’s Emotional Confession Will Leave You in Tears – ‘There’s Not Much Time Left’

Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo shocked fans on the red carpet earlier this month where they appeared to be ‘much more gaunt.’

At the premiere of their new film, fans online expressed concern that Ariana looked ‘very fragile’ while others took a more playful view, saying ‘Ozempic is Ozempicking!’

Cosmetic doctors warn that the dramatic transformation in both stars could be down to their restrictive vegan diets, which require careful management.

Dr Dennis Schimpf, a plastic surgeon in South Carolina, warned that the diets leave people at risk of a protein deficiency which can cause muscles to waste away, literally leaving ‘skin and bone.’

He also said Ariana’s seemingly much more pale appearance could be due to a nutritional deficiency, that may have been caused by her restrictive diet.

Ex-vegans posting online also say they see a reflection of their struggle in Ariana’s appearance, adding that her appearance looks like ‘end-stage veganism.’

Dr Schimpf told DailyMail.com: ‘Vegan diets do tend to have issues with protein which causes muscle wasting.

‘Often, people who are strict vegans have to take significant protein supplements or add protein powders to their smoothies.’

But the doctors couldn’t rule out that Ozempic or the stress of filming and promoting a major Hollywood blockbuster played a role in their radical transformations.

And, although they can increase protein intake in this way, the type of protein is not as effective as things like steak, chicken and fish. Supplemented protein tends to be not as effective as dietary protein.’

Ariana has been a vegan for more than a decade, revealing the shift in her diet in 2013 because of her love for animals like dogs, goats and seahorses.

Cynthia has also been a vegan since 2018, initially making the shift because her body ‘couldn’t handle red meat’ before sticking with it for ethical reasons.

In Conclusion
Ariana’s trainer said in a 2017 interview with PopSugar that the 31-year-old survives on smoothies, salads, brown rice, tofu and stir-fry vegetables daily.

For snacks, she tends to consume berries — particularly blueberries and strawberries which Ariana said in a tweet last month were her ‘favorite’ and that she had ‘five a day’.

Dr Schimpf added: ‘Pale skin can [also] be indicative of nutritional stress, although, honestly, it is really hard to assess in these celebrities.

‘They’re not ever photographed completely untouched or without make-up or bronzer or some kind of concealer on their skin.’

He said it was also possible that alcohol consumption or stress could be behind a nutritional deficiency, leading to pale skin.
