It is plastic surgery (tummy tuck, thigh liposuction), personal trainer for muscle building without bulk, lots and lots of walking, and a very restricted diet. She has rotated on all the popular diets. She has said multiple times out loud that she wished she could be ok with being fat so she could eat more.

None of those women look "Ozempic skinny." They are all women who have always been thin.

OP some people can work out a lot and even lift weights a lot and never look bulky. If I lift a lot of weights my arms get extremely toned but the muscles never get big. Same with my legs and butt. When I'm out of shape I definitely get a belly since having kids and hitting 40 but the rest of my body is just kind of naturally long and thin and if I exercise and eat well then I look long and lean because that's just my body type.

Restrictive diet, work out probably 2x/day or 2hrs/day 5x/wk

Amphetamines back in the day, Ozempic etc now

Do you actually not understand that some people are just naturally skinny?

Yes some people diet and workout obsessively and smoke or use Ozempic. And some people are genetically programmed for thinness. Just like some people are genetically programmed to be very tall or get vericose veins or breast cancer or to have fewer wrinkles or whatever.

No one is "pretending" it's genetics. Sometimes it's genetics.

I’m not talking about people who are just naturally skinny (I am also naturally skinny). I’m talking about the specific long, lean, “rich” look that OP is talking about. It’s a very specific look for a specific set of people

That's what my body is like and I don't diet or exercise obsessively nor am I on Ozempic. I lift weight a few times a week (like 30 minutes 4x a week not 2hrs 5x a week) and I'm pretty sporty generally -- I hike and kayak and play tennis on the weekends because I enjoy those activities.

It's just my body type. I have long limbs and a long neck and am relatively flat chested. As long as I do some form of strength training my arms looked toned but they don't bulk up because it's just not how my body works. I also have a flat butt.

Humans come in all shapes and sizes and this is one of them. The idea that all long and lean women are on Ozempic is as silly as assuming all short women with big boobs are diabetic. It's just a body type.

Flat butt is gross

Agree but that is what you get when you re white and starve yourself

It's actually just the way some bodies are shaped. I have a flat but and very small boobs and this would be true no matter what I weighed -- it's my body shape. I don't think it's gross -- I like how I look and I don't care that I don't have a round butt.

People say stuff like "flat butt is gross" or "these thin women are starving themselves to be thin" because they are unhappy with their own bodies. They don't like that these women who are "long and lean" are considered beautful because they will never be long and lean. They have a different body type. So these are just nasty things they say out of envy or in the hopes that if they say it enough people will decide long and lean women are not beautiful and they can stop feeling envious.

But the truth is that lots of different body types can be attractive or beautiful. I like how I look but I can admire a woman who is curvy and voluptuous or one who is extremely athletic and muscular. I think a lot of it is in owning whatever body type you have and dressing correctly for it.

One thing I know for sure is that sitting around saying nasty things about other women's bodies makes you look ugly inside and out.

Eventually your back will hurt from weak glutes.
