LENA DUNHAM HAS hit out at a magazine for featuring an image of her to advertise ’20 slimdown diet tips that stars are using’.
The star of Girls has never kept many secrets about her body in the past and today is no different, as she slammed Now magazine by responding with an honest list of the 20 slimdown diet tips that helped her to attain her current figure.

- Resultant constant nausea
- An election that reveals the true depths of American misogyny
- Sleeping 19 hours a day
- Bladder spasm, urinary frequency and urgency
- Having your phone number leaked and violent images text to your phone
- Keeping your back arched against the wind
