Linda Evangelista followed 'very harmful' cleanses during early modeling career: 'Basically a starvation diet'

Linda Evangelista revealed she used "very harmful" cleanses to maintain her bodyweight at the start of her modeling career. Evangelista gained fame as a supermodel in the '90s.

"I started doing cleanses all the time, and I loved doing these cleanses, but I think they were very harmful to me," Evangelista recalled during an episode of the podcast "Ruthie’s Table 4."

"I did the Master Cleanse quite a few times, but I would do medicinal cleanses, where it's like a powder drink, like the rice base … there's different brands that do them."
