"October 1st," she wrote with a heart emoji.

Talking Wellness In Peachy Dress

Fans were likely captivated by McKayla looking gorgeous in her peachy minidress in this photo, but the caption accompanying the Glowy by McKayla Instagram post also brought fans some benefit. Discussing gut health, the former acne sufferer told fans that she used to be a raw vegan, stating: "I was so obsessed with eating “clean” and “perfect” but I wasn’t feeling good, or digesting well at all, and my skin paid the price. I just kept ignoring the red flags that this diet was not working for me."

"I got lost in dogmatic thinking, and this idea of perfect health. I thought I needed to suffer and do something crazy and extreme to be successfully healthy. (That way of thinking clearly came from gymnastics lol)," she added. Also known for having turned her back on veganism is singer Miley Cyrus.
