Thigh-gap trend starts gaining popularity

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 10 Desember 2013 | 18.48

The world thinspiration brigade woke up to a new body image fad a few days ago. Believe it or not, it has everything to do with an empty space, a gap between your legs!

Thigh gap — the space between your upper thighs when you stand with your feet together, is what has caught their fancy. With the internet being flooded with miracle workouts and extreme diets to achieve the gap, youngsters, especially teenage girls abroad, are sweating it out to climb aboard.

How it began?

Although the trend has been around for a while, with anorexic models endorsing it on international runways, it attracted eyeballs when fitness fanatics started approving the need for this 'essential gap' online.

The trend's Poster girls

English TV presenter-model Alexa Chung and supermodel Cara Delevingne have been deemed the face of this un-healthy movement, with fans creating social networking pages on their thigh gaps. For Cara, however, the 'fan'aticism has gone a step further with admirers creating online profiles on her body parts like fingers (over 2,500 followers), eyebrows (over 3,700), breasts (over 2,000) and feet (over 1,300), besides the thigh gap (over 3,500 followers)!

The 'gap'ing truth!

The thigh gap has come under massive attack from parents, psychologists and fitness gurus with most trying to reason with teenagers that it's "next to impossible to attain". It's a result of genetic body makeup and cannot be achieved by diets, exercise or starvation tactics.

While the bizarre trend hasn't reached India, psychologists remain wary. The trend is detrimental to physical or mental well-being and starvation, to no extent, can ever make you look nice!
