The Kardashians star, Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s stepdaughter, Alabama Barker shows off her new body in recent photos. This comes as a clapback at trolls after admitting she is using weight loss drugs to slim down.
Alabama Barker Wants To Slim Down
Undeniably, Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler‘s daughter, Alabama Barker has struggled with the way people perceive her body. For quite some time, she has been clapping back when unnecessary comments are made about her figure. However, in a recent video, she opened up about how it has taken its toll on her. After fighting back, she decided it was time to stop feeling “fat” and do something about it. Although she has admitted to challenges with her health that cause weight gain, she is now opting to use weight loss drugs to get the body she desires.
Alabama Barker Shows Off New Body After Weight Loss Drug Use
On Alabama Barker’s Instagram page, she posts several pictures to hit back at trolls. She captions: “She can’t even compare to me, she ain’t even stuntin me.” Then, she posts a series of striking photos to show off her new body. Proudly displaying her progress, Alabama wears a deep open-front black dress with diamonds around her neck. Furthermore, she smiles big with her jawline showing the definition she has been hoping for since starting the medication. She is on her way to a pool party with her security and friends in tow. However, she looks remarkably different which causes many people to question if the photos have been altered.
Buyer Beware
Admittedly, Alabama Barker feels pressure to fit a certain look. She said, “But I’m on weight-loss medication because I’m tired of being fat and photographing like a da*n ogre.” While Alabama is seemingly getting the results she wanted, it may come with a price. Not only are weight loss drugs often expensive, but a nutritionist talks about the danger of using them at a young age. If they are started too early when they aren’t necessarily needed, they can have “adverse effects.”
Specifically, nutritionist Rania Batayneh says weight loss medications could “set teenagers up for failure long term.” Further warning, “This is about metabolic disruption in that young age group,” especially for people who aren’t “clinically overweight.” Drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Trulicity, can confuse a normally function system. Rania mentions, “This will impact natural metabolic processes and appetite regulation simply because teenagers burn more naturally.”
Alabama Barker Might Be Getting More Than What She Is Bargaining For
Additionally, other issues are, “When you add an appetite suppressant and restrict caloric intake, the metabolism will take a hit because of the young age.” Furthermore, there can be consequences that don’t meet the eye. Moreover, Rania states, “There are also psychological impacts when a teenager is not eating healthily.” Likewise, immediate gratification can lead to long-term effects such as, “They could develop a bad relationship with food and have adverse effects when they decide to eat.”
