Last Friday, Pamela Reif posted a photo that should be taken after a 15-minute six-pack workout: "posed .. flexed .. pretending to be pregnant", which means "posing, tense, pretend I'm pregnant." ". In the third photo, she sticks her stomach out. But even in this picture, she still has visible abdominal muscles due to her hard training . So is the influencer from Karlsruhe really perfect - in every situation? Pamela Reif had recently revealed that she suffers from self-doubt * and does not like certain parts of the body at all.

Fitness influencer from Australia shows how the before and after photo is actually intended
The Instagram world definitely doesn't expose this photo by Pamela Reif . For comparison, below is a before-and-after photo that Australian influencer Katie Lolas posted on Instagram two weeks ago. On the left you can see a picture from the front, on which Katie wears Lola's leggings, which cover the lower abdomen - and make her look perfectly slim. In the photo on the right, she has pulled the leggings under her tummy and is standing relaxed.
This after photo proves that she doesn't have the perfect abdominal muscles in every situation and position , and shows the trick with which she sometimes hides it. Katie Lolas earns her money mainly as a teacher and only runs her Instagram account on the side. On the other hand, Pamela Reif earned a fortune as an Instagram model *. The fitness influencer from Karlsruhe offers personal training .Pamela Reif also sells books with recipes and workouts for the dream body *. Maybe that's why she doesn't show pictures with a completely relaxed stomach on her Instagram account.

As an influencer and fitness model, Pamela Reif has a responsibility towards young girls
Maybe Pamela Reif simply doesn't feel like showing her body in a different way than perfectly staged on Instagram . It doesn't have to either. However, she has the largest fitness - Influencerin course in Germany as a role model for girls and women. So when the model writes that it looks pregnant on a before-and-after photo , even though you can see abdominal muscles in the picture , it awakens unrealistic ideas about what a stomach normally looks like.
Young girls in particular often suffer from a negative self-image, consider themselves too fat and run the risk of developing anorexia. Such girls were not only the I nstagram account of Pamela Reif view, but as the Katie Lolas or the Dutch Influencerin Rianne Meijer. Both look perfect, but also show the reality behind Instagram's illusory world.
