Steph Claire Smith discusses her 'nightmare' battle with disordered eating and reveals she was told she needed to be 'smaller' to be a model


The fitness influencer, 29, has previously opened up about her past struggles with a crippling eating disorder, and she has now detailed how 'toxic diets' influenced her.

She wrote in Marie Claire Australia: 'I was told that in order to book jobs, I needed to become smaller, my social media feed was flooded with fad diets, transformation images and celebrity body shaming. 'It was such a toxic space, I tried countless fad diets, falling into a vicious cycle of restricting, binging and purging, it was a literal nightmare, thankfully one that I'm no longer living.' She also shared that her number one rule is sustainability as she advised people not to follow any diet or trend that they can't uphold for a longer period of time.
