  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today, the return of Skinny.

  • Just a quick warning before we start, this episode discusses eating disorders,

  • so if that's a little bit too close to home for you,

  • you might want to choose another episode instead.

  • It was perhaps the fashion editors who clocked it first.

  • The head of British Vogue says she is concerned,

  • very concerned, that designers are returning to ultra-thin fashion models.

  • But maybe you have also noticed the return of skinny in your friendship group.

  • People who always seemed happy with their weight suddenly developing cheekbones and picking at a starter during group dinners.

  • It's not just people secretly jabbing themselves with manjaro.

  • It's the normalisation of skipping meals.

  • Sorry, fasting.

  • Hey guys, another What I Eat In A Day calorie deficit, 1300 calories.

  • Here's everything I did to lose 12 kilograms in two months.

  • The man who popularized the 5-2 diet is back with a new regime.

  • Victoria's Secret fashion show is back, so I'm eating like one of the angels.

  • It's the rebranding of obsessive dieting as wellness culture.

  • So basically I wake up in the morning,

  • I have this medical medium smoothie, heavy metal detox smoothie.
