Anonymous asked: Hi, just so you know, Taralynn's plagiarism extends beyond ripping off recipes and photos. I was just browsing through her "food fiction" section and noticed that the writing seemed way too polished for her style. A quick copy-and-paste of each section into Google brought up word-for-word matches for Women's Health, Men's Health and other similar websites. She even...

EXPOSING: Taralynns plagiarism
On top of her blog promoting RIDICULOUSLY unhealthy habits, Taralynn has been busted for plagiarising other peoples recipes and food photos and posting them on her blog claiming them as her own, with no source or credit, and photoshopping them (quite hilariously bad tbh) onto her own plates.
Of course there are millions of free recipes on the internet for people to use for themselves and...
Anonymous asked: Eating disorders have a stigma still. I don't think she could open up and we're a bit wrong to put her under that sort of scrutiny when she's obv sick. Shaming individual women won't change the world.

Anonymous asked: (con't from prev ask) If you go to the "diet plan" page, the "step 7" referred to by previous commenters including the 1000/calorie thing is just totally deleted. There IS no step 7, which seems to indicate she just deleted it without bothering to cover up her tracks. :( If she struggled that is fine, I guess I just wish she would be more open and forthcoming with her...
Anonymous asked: Hi, so I'm not sure if an anonymous blog is the best way to combat some of her unhealthy advice but I agree with a lot of what you are saying here. I remember when she used to have her "Diet" page up that it mentioned she ate 1000 calories a day while losing, and I know that page was up for a while. I didn't screen grab it or anything because I never figured she'd be in a...

Seventeen magazine responds
‘m sorry it took me so long to get back to you. As I’m sure you can understand, this is a sensitive topic, and we wanted to make sure we were handling it in the best way. Taralynn has decided to leave the Team Seventeen program, but we are confident that our other team captains will guide our readers every step of the way, and provide them with the knowledge and tools for maintaining a...
Anonymous asked: Have you seen her threads in the Calorie Count forums? She's replaced most of her posts with gibberish, but there's a locked thread called "Losing Weight and Maintaining after Binge/Starve Cycle" that she started last January where she pretty much states that she was eating 200 cals per day and working up to 600 cals per day. She's seriously discorded and should not be...
lose-weight-correctly asked: Hey I really want to THANK you for this blog, I was planning to tell my story through this ask box but I posted on my blog; if you can reblog it it would be of MUCH HELP! Thank you!

EXPOSING: Taralynns disordered eating habits and...
As anyone who follows undressedskeleton, they have probably realized that in Taralynns mind, being fat is almost always equal to being unhealthy. She swears she just cares for “your health” but in reality, like most of the world, she’s just plain fat phobic. Now fat phobia is the insistence that being over weight means you are a lazy, gluttonous, slob. It’s the media...

EXPOSED: The truth about Taralynns diet and the...
A lot of people are misinformed about what qualifies as an eating disorder. Anorexia is not just… NOT eating. There are a ton of symptoms and behaviors that can easily develop into an eating disorder. A lot of times, a simple diet of restricting calories can lead to unhealthy habits and obsessions and turn into a full blown eating disorder.
People who read Taralynns blog look at her pictures and...
†: Notice anything wrong with this photo? →
indieish:
The girl circled is Taralynn of UndressedSkeleton, a rather popular “fitblr” here on our quaint little website. In the photo, one can see the caption “She lost 50 pounds the healthy way!” under her name. What’s so bad about that? Well, nothing. Putting aside any fat-phobia, losing weight the…

Why I decided to create this blog
I created unhealthyskeleton to expose Taralynns incredibly unhealthy diet tips and tricks, and her (perhaps unintentional) promotion of disordered eating. This is not an attack on her character as a person but her blog and the effects it can have on her young and impressionable readers who she encourages to follow her footsteps, which now will reach a broader audience since Seventeen magazine...
