This ideology is never more present than when a celebrity is concerned, especially when said celebrity is an outspoken advocate for something and then &#8211; according to onlookers &#8211; does something to contradict it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A perfect example of this is musician Lizzo, who is a body positivity role model &#8211; often speaking out about her size (she embraces the word \u2018fat\u2019), and encouraging her fans to love themselves and the body they\u2019re in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But when Lizzo posted that she was doing a detox, sharing her 10-day transformation with a professional smoothie detox on her social media, the singer was accused by critics of &#8220;submitting to toxic diet culture.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, it goes without saying (you&#8217;d think) that a detox is something anyone can do, at any size, to give their body a health kick and, naturally, it didn\u2019t take long before the 32-year-old responded in her usual, amazing outspoken way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CI1FvuFBap4\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
