Karl Lagerfeld’s diet: how the designer lost 40 kg
Karl Lagerfeld was not only a great stylist, but a man who in the name of fashion and not just health, around 2004 lost his beauty of 40 kilos in one year (thirteen months, he specified).
At the time, the news of his weight loss made the rounds of newspapers around the world. Today, shortly after his death, the book on his diet, which Lagerfeld wrote with the collaboration of nutritionist Dr. Jean-Claude Houdret, will perhaps be reprinted.
In the book ” Karl Lagerfeld’s diet “, currently unavailable, published in 2005, the stylist described in detail his diet, which in recent days the Cooking Light magazine has re-proposed exclusively.
