Benedicta Gafah, a renowned Ghanaian actress, has addressed speculation surrounding her toned figure, clarifying that it is not the result of liposuction or plastic surgery.
Recent rumors had suggested that Gafah’s noticeably slim waist and flat stomach were due to surgical intervention, despite her not adhering to a regular workout routine. However, in an Instagram live video, Gafah revealed that her physique is attributed to an eating disorder, rather than surgery.
“My flat tummy is because I don’t eat, not because of liposuction. My body is due to genetics. I don’t feel hungry at all, and even when I do, drinking water makes me feel full. When I try to eat, I can only manage one or two spoonfuls before I’m full,” Gafah explained.
Gafah further shared that her doctor had recommended food supplements to help manage her eating disorder, but she is reluctant to take them due to fear of weight gain.
“My doctor always tells me I need some supplements to be able to eat, but I get scared of taking them because I fear I might add weight,” she said.
In addition to discussing her eating disorder, Gafah also opened up about her struggles with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a condition marked by uncontrollable and recurring thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors.
By sharing her story, Gafah aims to set the record straight and raise awareness about eating disorders and OCD.
