Former Miss South Africa Ade van Heerden Speaks On Body Shape

Ade van Heerden has come out addressing the issues she faced in trying to maintain the ‘perfect’ body shape.

She shared a throwback photo of herself in a bikini. She captioned the post: “There are a lot of side effects that come with being super lean that isn’t talked about often enough.”

Some of the side effects Ade suffered included hair loss, loss of her period and social isolation.

“I could never eat anything that I didn’t prepare myself so I could never join friends for dinner at a restaurant.”

She suffered from orthorexia, describing it as ‘complete obsession with clean eating.’

Ade shared her post, so as to encourage fans to be happy with their bodies.

“The only thing we should be chasing is health, happiness and an abundance mindset,” she added.
