Kate Middleton's mission to eat up!

Kate Middleton's mission to eat up!

"Being a role model is very important to Kate and she is aware of her impact. She doesn’t want to put out a negative image, but it’s been hard, because she is naturally thin."
 
Royal biographer KATIE NICHOLL reveals why the duchess has put on three kilos.

She’s still super-svelte by anyone’s standards, but the Duchess of Cambridge has put on 3kg in the past couple of months after being warned by palace courtiers that she is too thin and risks setting a bad example to her millions of fans around the world.

Kate, 30, stepped out in Oxford last week sporting a slightly fuller, more shapely figure, which friends tell Woman’s Day is a result of relaxing her strict eating regime, and regular exercise sessions with her sister, Pippa Middleton, to help build up muscle.

“Kate got so thin that she started popping up on pro-anorexia websites and being hailed for being so skinny,” one friend explains. “That’s when her aides suddenly became concerned and a quiet word was had.

“Being a role model is very important to Kate and she is aware of her impact. She doesn’t want to put out a negative image, but it’s been hard, because she is naturally thin. She never regained those few pounds she dropped with all the stress of the royal wedding.” In recent months, Kate has put extra focus on her health, eating more carbohydrates, and ensuring each meal contains a portion of organic protein and lots of vegetables.

they say she is noaturally thin is a bull becausae the moment she started to eat a little more she put a ittle weight on even thou she exercise that tells me she is not naturaly slim, she was on a very strict diet almost starving herself. Why? I dont know she is very tall she can affod few extra kilosi think she lookes well and her face looks glowing , grossly iverweight is not healthy but very thin is not healthy either, eart up duchess get into your normal weight for your hight and bone structure and you will look fabulous and be healthier
I feel sorry for her, I have a friend who loses weight when she is stressed and she is also naturally thin, she absolutely hates her size because she struggles to put weight on, its an extreme, either too fat or too thin, its hard being perfect in the public's eye. Put on a kilo and you're pregant deduct a kilo and your married life is in trouble, she can never win.
Is that a joke? Fuller Figure? C'mon, be reasonable, she is clearly just as unhealthily skinny as she was before! If she hopes to set any sort of example she should aim to put some real weight on and be a genuine picture of health and wellbeing for the average person, not just skinny models.
She's so conscious and for her height, she is way too underweight. She has a BMI of 17.5 or thereabouts. She is not naturally thin - especially being a Scottish country girl - she used to be a size 10. She's obviously very very conscious and bordering anorexia (in terms of weight). The stupid reasons like "she's under stress" and "she's naturally thin" are pathetic excuses. Face the reality.
This young lady looks happy and healthy if the weight issue was interfering with her health then yes find the health issue and get on top of it otherwise leave her alone
whilst we live in a free world and people make choices, anorexia is a sickness. those fashion magazines are helping to glamorize skinny cloth-hanger body of models. we know for a fact also that those so-called fashion moguls are sick in their brains to continue to demand that models be skinny. what happen to our grandparents value where our women have a much fuller body that define femininity?
