What Would a Fashion Model's Diet
Plan be |
|
Have you ever wondered how the so-called super models manage to
get in such good shape and stay trim, even after having a
family?
Fashion models depend on their slim figures for their
livelihood, so it's imperative that they always look good. Don't
worry, I'm not suggesting that you should embark on a diet of
leaves and nuts. I'm not an advocate of the size zero, but I'm
sure you'll find it interesting to know what sort of diet a
fashion model would choose.
The Fashion Models Diet Plan
A favourite way for models to look good is to "Cleanse" or
"Fast". This is not a complete starvation diet, as it will
include the intake of soups and fruit juices over a 3 to7 day
period. It is more of a detox routine and is gernerally only
carried out once or twice a year.
The benefits of this detox is to obviously rid the body of
harmful toxins, such as preservatives and food additives
together with inhaled smoke and fumes. It also gives the colon a
chance to rid the digestive system of any fecal build up. The
results can be dramatic as the liver and kidneys are able to
repair and replace damaged cells instead of continuing to rid
the body of toxins.
A typical "Cleanse" diet might consist of a combination of fresh
carrots, celery, beet, spinach, apple, coconut, broth and
juices. Citrus and tomato juices are too acidic to drink while
fasting so these should be avoided. It's important to drink
plenty of water during the detox and avoid consuming any
unnecessary medications or supplements.
The advantages of a detox are weight loss, reduced body odour,
shinier finger nails, stronger hair, reduced cellulite, a
glowing complexion and more beautiful eyes.
After the detox, the typical fashion model will then begin her
normal eating habits, which to some people may appear to be a
"real" diet. However, it will simply be a healthy balanced diet,
which might typically consist of the following:
---Breakfast (9am)
One boiled egg with a slice of wholewheat bread
A bowl of cereal with skimmed milk
Black coffee
Total 369 calories
---Lunch (12.30pm)
Turkey salad with balsamic vinaigrette
Cup of tea with skimmed milk
Total 320 calories
---Early Evening Snack (4.30pm)
Low fat Jell-O pudding
Total 100 calories
---Dinner (8pm)
Lean Cuisine chicken a l'orange with rice
2 slices of low fat cheddar cheese with wholewheat crackers
Total 448 calories
The total calorie intake for a typical day is 1237. The aim of
the diet is to keep the daily calorie count below 1500.
This is a typical example of a fashion model's diet, which will
also involve some form of aerobic exercises 3 times a week.
So, as you can see it's not at all what you might have
originally thought. It's just a sensible eating plan and a
sensible exercise routine. However, if even this diet seems a
little too much to stomach, you could try a natural herbal diet
remedy.
Here are the top 5 tips that fashion models highly recommend for
staying in trim.
1. Decrease your alcohol consumption. Alcohol suppresses the
body's ability to burn fat.
2. Eat more Black Pepper, Ginger, Chile Peppers. Spicy food
helps speed up the body's metabolism.
3. Increase your muscle mass. Muscle burns fat, so adding 5lbs
of muscle will help you burn another 250 calories a day.
3. Increase your vitamin B and Calcium intake. The B-Vitamins
give you more energy and increase your metabolism.
4. Drink More Water. A healthy, well-hydrated body is important
to flush out toxins and aid in metabolising fats
5. Increase your intake of Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Omega 3 fatty
acids can help to balance blood sugar levels and control
appetite.
