Wednesday Links: Karl Lagerfeld On How To Understand You’re Getting Fat

Karl Lagerfeld has never been very cautious with his statements and often disappointed or even annoyed the public. But at the same time he is the person we should look up to when it comes to fashion because he is definitely more aware of the subject than any of us. Talking to Metro magazine, he’s been guest-editing lately, the Chanel creative director gave us a couple of useful advice on how to understand we are getting a little fat and how to shed those extra pounds.

Karl Lagerfeld sometimes says things people hate him for. But do you know what I think? I believe he is in that position when a person can express his thoughts openly. He doesn’t curse others or call them bad names. He just says what he really believes is true. And in most cases I agree with him. For example, his most recent statement about singer Adele (He said she was a little fat.) has certain grounds. She is actually a little bigger than healthy size. But it’s not what I was going to tell you. Reading Lagerfeld’s interview for Metro Magazine (in which he comments on Adele’s weight) I found a few interesting tips we might get the use of. These are about how to understand we are getting fat and how to keep slim at all times.

Karl Lagerfeld on his diet
(remember that once Lagerfeld was very big?): “I haven’t touched sugar, sweets, butter, cake, cheese — all of that — for more than 11 years, and I’m not even tempted. I’m beyond temptation. I think that’s the best thing that can happen in life.”

Karl Lagerfeld on how he understands he has a few pounds to lose: “I found out that clothes are much better than scales and things like this. Clothes don’t lie. If you have only clothes in one size and nothing one millimeter bigger, the minute something hurts somewhere, you know it’s time. And always keep a pair of tight jeans, something tight for control. I know a woman who every year put on her wedding dress just to see if she can still fit in it. It’s only a problem if you have four or five weddings.”
