Alena Shishkova was criticized for advertising means for weight loss after the story of the fight against anorexia

Alena Shishkova was criticized online after she posted on Instagram an advertisement for a drink that helps to "cleanse the body" and "lose a little weight." This caused a lot of negativity from many influencers, since Alena recently spoke about the struggle with eating disorders, because of which she was treated for a long time in the clinic.

According to Shishkova, she could not gain weight for a long time. The situation was aggravated by the frequent criticism of her appearance in the media and social networks. As a result, she turned to the Center for the Study of Eating Disorders with a weight of 45 kg with a height of 176 centimeters. There she was on intravenous nutrition for 2.5 months. She is still undergoing rehabilitation, but has already gained 15 kg. 

After Shishkova's story, many publicly supported her. Alena's decision to advertise a weight loss product caused anger among subscribers: she was convicted of inappropriate advertising and accused of "dancing on the bones."

"Explain, and eating disorder leads to a complete erasure of the understanding of morality?" - said Natalya Maksimova, who is often criticized for being too thin. According to her, she also had been struggling with an eating disorder before.

Gohar Avetisyan and Oksana Samoilova previously spoke about the juice diet advertised by Alena. Blogger Katya Konasova, who often publishes revelations on social networks, doubted the effectiveness of this method of losing weight.

In the telegram channel "Secular introvert" , however, they spoke out against such harassment.

“Ladies love to discuss other people’s face and ass transformations,” the channel wrote, noting that many ladies who condemn each other for such advertising or unwillingness to admit that they resorted to plastic surgery, “they themselves snout into a cannon." “They would sit silently and enjoy life and their implants / victory over eating disorder / circular braces. None of these attacks of theirs do them credit.”
