mere matter of seconds.

Anjuli Mack has cracked the code on achieving the 'perfect body' in a
mere matter of seconds.

Her trick? Simply lie.

The New Zealand fitness coach revealed how deceptive “before and after”
images can be on social media by showing the ways her physique appears
completely different with a slightly different pose.

In side-by-side images of herself shared on Instagram, Mack appears to
have two different body types. Yet she quickly dismisses the
assumption, writing “this is not a before and after.”

“Companies prey on people desperate for a quick fix but in reality this
is just puffing out & then sucking in," Mack writes, adding the images
were taken "seconds apart".

The personal trainer explains she merely breathed out and let her
stomach fall naturally in the first image, before twisting her body to
create the illusion of a dramatic transformation for the second
picture.

Mack says the way people manipulate poses and images on social media
can cause a number of insecurities, including among her 154,000
followers.

The workout guru regularly receives questions about stomach rolls and
bloated tummies from her followers.

“Social media and magazines are not real life," she writes in response.

“It is curated to what someone wants you to see. You will never see 100
per cent of someone's life online."

Instead of focusing on distorted images, Mack shares a list of five key
points she wants people to remember when they work out, including
"carbs are not the enemy."

“Focus on YOU," she writes.

“Don't try to copy XYZ, fad diets or waste money on juice detoxes. Just
get a plan in place & stick to it."

Mack also encourages people to be “kind" when it came to their health
journeys, reminding them, “Years from now you won't care about the
occasional night you 'fell off your diet'. You want to remember the
lifetime memories made with loved ones.”

She adds that she wouldn't be surprised if “fad diet, keto detoxes and
random overseas supplement companies" stole her photo and used it to
"promote their own agenda."
