How is it that models
are so skinny?
Well for starters they are naturally thin and they are
young, and their bodies haven’t developed fully yet.
However they still need to watch what they eat, just like we
all do!
A models diet is very simple and you may think boring, but
it is all about being healthy now and in the long term. Because severe dieting when
you are young will result in major health issues when you are older.
A model MUST eat healthy to maintain her energy for all that
work running from one fashion shoot to another.
Being anorexic or bulimic is not tolerated in the modelling
industry and those models that do this will generally be fired from her agency.
They want slim healthy girls, not super skinny withdrawn girls.
As I have said before if you are not naturally slim then don’t
become a model.
But if you just need to cut a few kilos from your weight then
this is the way to do it!
- Cut out all junk food from your diet! Sorry but it must go!
- Don’t drink soft drinks or those smart drinks either.
- Ideally drink 8 glasses of water day and drink black tea or coffee with no added sugar.
- Minimise dairy products such as butter, cream and cheese to twice a week.
- For breakfast eat either oat bran/porridge as your cereal or fresh fruit and low fat yogurt (no added fruit or flavour as these have a lot of sugar in them), go for vanilla or natural.
- Snack on raw unsalted nuts when you are hungry such as Brazil, cashew, almonds, walnuts and/or macadamias.
- For lunch have a non-creamy soup such as tomato soup or eat a salad with lean meat such as chicken, fish and turkey.
- For dinner have a full plate of vegetables or salad (with an olive oil and lemon dressing) with only one potato and lean meat such as salmon, chicken or turkey.
- If you are still hungry have one piece of fruit or a pottle of low fat yogurt.
- Eat your meal at night before 7pm, so you are not going to bed with a full stomach.
Overall you can eat as much and many vegetables as you like.
For instance raw carrots are a great snack around 4pm when we all get hungry.
Be sensible about what you eat as you have only got one body
and it has to last you a lifetime!
Be the BEST that YOU can BE!
