Diet Of A Super Model
By: SEOGUY | Posted: 04th April 2011
When you are in front of the camera as a swimsuit model you need a lot of energy, and staying in shape gives me that energy. In an industry of scrawny, anemic-looking waifs, I like to have long lean limbs with long muscles, and curves. Old-fashioned hard work keeps me in swimsuit modeling shape. Besides being blessed with good genes, I work hard for my body.
My flexibility is the legacy of 14 years of dance, and has helped me with many exercise classes such as: yoga, Pilates, and kickboxing. Everyday begins with an hour of cardio such as running, stair climber, or elliptical; followed by 45 minutes of strength training and sit-ups. I use thera-bands, lightweights, basically a whole combination of everything. I work out everyday except Saturday, and on that day you can usually find me running around the lakes in Minneapolis, or running on the beach in Miami.
I would love to say that I can eat whatever I want, but I am conscientious about what I eat. I believe that everything should be in balance. I don’t think you should be strict on yourself. I can eat anything in moderation as long as I don’t tell myself I can’t have it. It is a psychological thing. I am very interested in health and nutrition. I have a commonsense approach to eating. I eat organic as much as possible because there are more nutrients in organic foods. I always try to have raw organic almonds in my bag at photo shoots for quick energy. I am studying nutrition in college, and want to help young children with diet and exercise someday.
I can feel first-hand the benefits of taking care of myself. I feel such a huge difference after working out. It might not work for everyone, but it works for me.
Below I posted what a typical day of my diet looks like:
Breakfast:
3 egg whites with tomato, onion, mushrooms, spinach, and low-fat cheese
½ cup blueberries and ½ cup raspberries
1 whole-wheat piece of toast with natural organic almond butter
2 cups of green tea
1 large glass of water
After work-out snack:
10 almonds
Small glass of skim milk
2 large glasses of water
Lunch:
Spinach Salad with grilled chicken, peppers, tomato, edamame, and chickpeas drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

1 glass of green tea
1 large glass of water
Snack:

1 large glass of water
