AceShowbiz - Is Gigi Hadid following an unhealthy diet? The 22-year-old model looks skinnier these days and her extreme weight loss has apparently raised concern about her health. Gigi, who once prided herself on being a relatable, curve-celebrating former athlete, reportedly feels insecure about her body.
After designer Tommy Hilfiger said last year that Gigi hadn't been "quite as thin" as the other models and then retracted the statement, Gigi has reportedly felt pummeled by intense scrutiny. A source tells OK!, "She started feeling like she was too fat for the high-fashion world."
"Constantly being around rail-thin girls finally got to her," the source says, adding that the girlfriend of Zayn Malik now "barely nibbles on veggies." Noting that Gigi's living an unhealthy lifestyle, the source says, "But she's clearly taking the dieting a bit far. It's getting scary."
Back in December 2016, Gigi had explained why she got skinnier. In an interview with Elle, she revealed that it was the effect of the meds she takes for her thyroid disease. "I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disease, and it's now been two years since taking the medication for it," she said.
Hashimoto's disease is a form of hypothyroidism that slows down your metabolism and can cause sluggishness, weight gain, depression and more. The disease is typically treated with synthetic hormones that speed up the metabolism, which can cause weight loss.
