Actress Jameela Jamil is speaking out against flat tummy products aimed at pregnant women particularly after model Amber Rose endorsed a flat tummy product on her Instagram, BuzzFeed reports.
Known for her work on the television show The Good Place, Jamil has spoken about the subject body positivity and the controversy of weight loss products before.
In a recent tweet, she called such products “irresponsible f*cksh*t.”
The Good Place actress has also called out Cardi B and members of the Kardashian family for similar product endorsements, Parade reports.
She also runs an Instagram account called “@i_weigh” that promotes body positivity.
One nutritionist Parade interviewed suggested there are better alternatives to these products endorsed by many celebrities.
“Eat a clean diet, full of organic produce, lean protein and healthy fats,” said Krystal Hammett. “Drink your yummy DIY detox water—infused with something like pineapple ginger and basil—and take a high-quality multi-vitamin to ensure you and your little one are getting the micro-nutrients needed to thrive.”
Fans can see Jamil in the fourth and final season of The Good Place in September.
