Lena Dunham may be a celebrity known to have as many faux pas as she does praiseworthy moments, but there’s no denying that when she gets it right, she really goes all the way in getting us cheering.

Which is exactly what her latest Instagram post has got us doing.

On Monday morning, the 30-year-oldGirlsactor took aim at the tabloid magazine industry and its time-honoured tradition of judging women on their physicality, sharing a magazine cover with Dunham on it alongside the headline “20 diet slim down tips stars are using,” with, you guessed it, a list of 20 things.

In true Dunham style, though, her list was a little different to what the magazine was offering up, swapping green smoothies and no carbs after 9 pm for things like, “anxiety disorder” and “sleeping 19 hours a day”.

The actor’s full list reads:

Dunham’s weight recently became the topic of conversation after the star swapped to an endometriosis-friendly diet – a condition the writer has suffered from and spoken openly about for years – and joked that her drop in size was due to the stress of living under a Trump presidency.

Within its first hour of being posted, Dunham’s image has received 30,000 likes and hundreds of comments of support.

“I love you,” one Instagram user wrote, while another agreed, “Hell yes! Keep doing you girl! Your words & fight mean so much.”
