- Reveals eating disorder behind major weight loss and body change
Turkish actress Bergüzar Korel clarified that her previous statement about “having her stomach removed” was meant as a joke, stressing that it was misunderstood on social media.
The star confirmed she did not undergo any surgical procedure, explaining that her weight loss came through intense exercise and a strict diet, noting that she would often go long periods without eating.
Korel, who lost around 20 kilograms in four months, said her experience was linked to an eating behavior disorder, describing emotional eating patterns that led to significant fluctuations in her weight.
She also spoke about difficult periods in her life, saying: “There were days I cried from hunger,” adding that her social life was greatly affected.
The actress emphasized that she followed a very strict routine, focusing heavily on exercise while restricting food for long periods.
Her comments have reignited discussion about the pressure of beauty standards on celebrities and their impact on both mental and physical health.
