Kendall Jenner says she drinks 12 cups of detox tea per day: really?

Last time we talked about Kendall Jenner, she was getting mean-girled by other models at London fashion week. (I still believe the source for that story is Kris Jenner because of course it was.) Like it or not, Kendall is a legit model now. She’s not simply appearing in family friend Marc Jacobs’ ads and runway shows. Kendall spent the past several days as the star of Milan fashion week. These are photos of her at the Dolce & Gabbana show and walking the Ports 1961 runway. She also appeared in the Fendi, Pucci, and Bottega Veneta shows.

Kendall took a moment to speak with E! Online about how she stays in runway shape. She claims to drink 12 cups of detox tea daily. Is that safe? Detox tea contains diuretics, which can dehydrate in the long run. Kendall also says she loves to eat apples, veggies, and lean proteins.

Her detox habit: “I usually start my day off with a cup of detox tea. I have like 12 cups a day.”

She exercises too: “I like running. I’ve been trying to get back into it.”

Her ultimate fashion week prep: “My beauty secret for fashion week is just getting a good amount of sleep. I feel like I at least need about seven hours, eight hours of sleep to function.”

Sleep is so important. Most of us don’t get enough. Anyway, I don’t buy that Kendall eats an entirely clean diet. She eats sweet treats on KUTWK quite often, and the Mail has photos of her tucking into gelato in Milan. Kendall probably has a naturally high metabolism. She once talked about trying to gain weight, but that was a few years ago. Maybe she detoxes to look more vibrant for the runway. 12 cups of tea per day seems really excessive.
