A quick scroll through Instagram can often leave people feeling disheartened when they think they don't have the abs, bum or proportions of social media.

Now one dietitian wants to highlight the truth behind the illusion.

Leanne Ward, from Brisbane, posted on her Instagram profile about the truth behind the Instagram bum, explaining that while she spent more than a year trying to attain it, it's not in fact a realistic aim.

'I used to be that girl that was obsessed with getting an Instagram booty,' the clinical and sports dietitian (pictured) from Brisbane posted on her profile

Leanne (pictured) explained that she spent a year training and eating correctly, but still couldn't see the 'glute gains' you often see online

That was until the 28-year-old admitted she was 'shocked' to see an Instagram personality she'd 'stalked' online and found that she didn't in fact have the 'nice round peachy booty she posted on Instagram' (pictured: one of Leanne's comparisons)

'I used to be that girl that was obsessed with getting an Instagram booty,' the clinical and sports dietitian from Brisbane posted on her profile.

'I'm not one of those genetically blessed with a naturally peach booty so I needed to try and turn my wider, flatter booty into the booty I saw again and again on Instagram... the peach booty,' she continued.

Leanne explained that she 'trained and ate and trained some more, but after a year of slogging myself in the gym... I saw only small results with glute growth'.

Leanne has also shown how just holding your body differently (pictured) can make a huge difference

'So I decided to ask her what her training program was like to get booty growth and if she'd been doing it recently (knowing that I might get slapped in the face). Luckily for me she was so sweet, laughed at me and said "Sweetie - Instagram is all about the poses".'

Leanne concluded that she will never look 'like these gorgeous, amazing, fit Instagram girls with peach bootys [sic] because half the time they don't even look that way'.

She added: 'Instagram is our perfectly edited highlight reel - we only showcase the few photos that'll make it to our online photo album - don't sacrifice your confidence and self worth to look like the Insta models. It's just perfect lighting and angles anyways [sic].'

Speaking previously to FEMAIL, Leanne (pictured) said: 'One treat isn't going to make you gain weight, in the same way that one salad won't make you healthy'

This isn't the first time Leanne has highlighted the discrepancy between what you see online and what is there in real life.

Previous posts have shown how your body can look entirely different, depending on how you wear your bikini bottoms.

She also showed that while you might think dietitians, food bloggers and fitness stars all eat beautiful food on a daily basis, of course meals for Instagram and for reality look different.

'I get so many messages asking if my food is always this pretty and how long it takes to make my meals look this good!,' she posted.

'Well I'm here to tell you guys that usually I just throw food onto a plate and gobble it down.'

Speaking previously to FEMAIL, Leanne added: 'So you ate a brownie or a tub of ice cream - welcome to the club - there are ten billion of us!

'One treat isn't going to make you gain weight, in the same way that one salad won't make you healthy.

'People need to understand that we're all human and can't be perfect all the time. If you slip up or your eating goes off track for a few days, it's not the end of the world.

'Instead of writing off the rest of the week, start by getting back on track with the very next meal. Healthy eating Monday rarely makes it past Thursday for most of us.

'If you practise eating wholesome foods and moving your body regularly, then there's plenty of room for cake, wine and cheese occasionally and you're far less likely to blow out at the weekends.'
