Following an appearance on the ‘Let’s Be Honest’ podcast, Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr has faced scrutiny regarding her highly restrictive dietary regimen. Kerr described a meal plan developed after a long-term battle with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which excludes several major food groups including dairy, wheat, eggs, and rice.

Initial reactions from health professionals focused on the psychological impact of her routine. Clinical psychologist Sarah Cox of the Butterfly Foundation warned that labeling extreme calorie restriction as wellness could “normalize disordered eating” and increase risks for adolescents. 

Subsequent analysis from nutritionists and physicians shifted toward the physiological risks of the diet. Experts, including nutritionist Sophia Deahl, cautioned that the plan could lead to significant deficiencies in essential nutrients such as protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and B vitamins. While some noted the inclusion of unprocessed, antioxidant-rich foods, medical professionals emphasized that the regimen is unsuitable for the general population due to risks of energy depletion and nutritional gaps.
