90 Day Fiance star Anfisa Nava was never overweight, but never-the-less she has made an incredible body transformation to get ultra-lean and extremely toned. The reality TV star has put such an emphasis on her fitness that she even started competing in bodybuilding competitions. However, some bodyshamers are saying that her new physique is “too muscular.”
Before she met and married Jorge Nava and appeared on 90 Day Fiancé, she was Anfisa Arkhipchenko from Moscow, Russia. Anfisa has adjusted to American life quite well, despite her husband being arrested and sentenced to 2.5 years in jail for possession of drugs. On February 12, 2018, Jorge was stopped by police and he had 293 pounds of high-grade marijuana in his trunk of his car, a class two felony that his lawyer got reduced to a class four felony.

Without her husband in her life, Anfisa has put her energy and focus on her fitness. She decided to become a competitive bodybuilder and has really put in the work. Anfisa shredded the pounds and built muscle with a low-carb diet and rigorous workout regimen.

Some of the bodyshaming comments included: “Why does woman wants guys muscles and abs” and “Damn… you look like a dude! Time to stop.”
Another Instagram comment said: “Damn you have taken a turn for the worst. It’s too much! You’re starting to look like a man.”
“You’re by far the hottest of all the ’90 Day Fiance’ women. Just don’t get too muscular, keep your beautiful femininity,” one user wrote.
While others asked if she had an “eating disorder.”
“You look amazing but me personally don’t like to much [sic] muscle on a woman. But it’s my opinion,” someone said online. “You looked good before putting so much muscle in your arms and legs. But you look cute just the same!!!”
Anfisa responded to the bodyshamers by saying that she has “never felt more feminine and happy than I do now” in an Instagram post.
“They say “Muscles make you look manly”… I personally have never felt more feminine and happy than I do now. It’s all about how you feel on the inside and not what you look like on the outside. All shapes and sizes can be beautiful as long as you live in harmony with yourself.”
