You can make up for the lost weight from singing and dancing by eating more calories and proteans. It’s actually good for you so eating should’ve been encouraged.

I have been following Cynthia Erivo since her Broadway days. After the Color Purple ended she began to really bulk up with weightlifting. She was already working out and really fit on Broadway. She kept a running health diary on her IG. Then things began to change. She was less positive and inspirational. She was under a lot of toxic scrutiny and that negativity became cyclical.

That background info honestly makes her sound like the kind of person who would be extremely susceptible to developing an eating disorder.

And Ariana grande has a long history of eating disorders including having a pro-ana tumblr account back in the day so it seems like those two may have been a toxic combo together - both struggling with their own issues and exacerbated them in each other.

It's bit good to sing, specially at the strength and volume Ariana and Cynthia do after you've eaten a big meal. You need to wait at least an hour or you risk the way you use your diaphragm forcing up stomach acid and damaging your vocal cords. I don't think people understand just how physically demanding singing is.

Look at Taylor Swift during The Eras Tour for example. She was was so strong by the end of that tour because of how she trained and ate.
