Have you ever felt extreme jealousy after looking at fit models on Instagram? Well, here's a secret: they don't even look the way they do in their photos! With the right lighting and angles, these girls know how to fake their super-slim figures that get them all of their likes.

 

Now, many of these girls, like Laura Henshaw in this photo, are coming clean and letting the Internet know that no one actually looks like that! The next time you see another one of these "fit girl" photos, remember one thing: it probably isn't real.

Even the fittest girls lack 6-pack abs without flexing them and angling themselves right. "...here's a photo to show you all that the selfies I post on here I always flex and angle myself the right way, I don't walk around looking lean 24/7," bikini competitor and Instagram fit girl Laura Schmid posted on her page.

This girl proves that you can change your figure so easily with the right pair of pants. "I am comfortable with my body in both," the Instagrammer said. "Neither is more or less worthy. Neither makes me more or less of a human being."
