Lori Harvey clapped back at critics who called her out for her weight loss techniques on social media Friday.
The model, 25, revealed how she dropped the pounds after gaining 15 pounds of ‘relationship weight’ when she first started dating boyfriend Michael B. Jordan.
‘When Mike and I got together, I gained like 15 pounds of relationship weight, and it was horrible,’ she began her TikTok video. ‘None of my clothes fit. It just was not okay.’

‘I’ve been consistently doing pilates for the past year. I’ve done it for a few years but I’ve been really consistent the last year, ‘ she continued, saying for the first six weeks that she even worked out twice a day.
She then opened up about how she was eating at the time, revealing she was consuming ‘1,200 calories a day max.’
This fact was met with some derision from critics who called out Harvey for potentially influencing others to try her technique for themselves.

‘Please don’t eat as low as 1200 calories guys,’ one TikTok user wrote while another said, ‘omg 1200 is so low!!’
One person on Twitter wrote, ‘I have a degree in nutrition Sciences. 1200 – 1400 calories is the amount recommended for children aged 2 to 3. you’re starving yourselves.’
Well-known author and journalist Ernest Owens wrote on Twitter, ‘Fun, but important, facts: ‘Relationship weight’ isn’t a real thing — but correlating comfort & love to weight gain as if it’s a problem is fatphobic AF. Eating 1200 calories a day after gaining 15 pounds says a lot about Lori Harvey and the society’s fear of fat. All sad.’

I mean I like him, but like I say to all of ’em, “I might like you, I might approve of you, but I got a thumb-size section of my heart filled with nothing but pure hatred for your ass. Just in case I need it.”‘
