While the start of January is often accompanied by the making of good resolutions, Billie Eilish warned against diets that are too drastic. Recently invited with her brother, Finneas O’Connell, on the podcast “Fresh Air”, the 23-year-old singer spoke about her own experience. “A few years ago, I followed very severe dietary restrictions and lost a lot of weight,” recalled the one who wishes to preserve her private life.
And added: “I was thinner than I had ever been and also stronger than ever. But at the same time, I was extremely unhappy and didn’t realize how dissatisfied I was. It’s not a pleasant way to live.”
By sharing her own experience, the American artist wanted to make her fans aware of the dangers – both physical and psychological – that can arise from an overly intensive diet.
This is not the first time that Billie Eilish has opened up about her complicated relationship with her body. Last December, she revealed in an interview that her image problems began at the age of 11, following an obsession with a one-size-fits-all clothing brand. Today, the youngest double Oscar winner claims to have “found a balance” and to be more in harmony with her body.
