What should A Model Eat?

After having done all the work outs and routine practice, what else is relevant to the lifestyle of a Fashion Model, in this article we reveal the correct diet that a model must follow to enable her maintain her slim figure.

It’s not how many calories you eat, but how you eat them.
“I never count calories. I base my meal plans and system of eating on seasonality, alkalinity, and food combining. The last is probably most important, because it ensures proper digestion: With food combining, it’s important not to mix proteins and carbohydrates in the same meal as it will impede proper digestion and cause bloating, gas, and constipation.”

Your meals should start light, and get heavier as the day goes on.
“Begin your day with warm water and lemon followed by a juice or smoothie, which will boost alkalinity [aka your body’s best natural pH balance for cells to thrive], give you energy with raw living vitamins and minerals, and will hydrate you and prep you for the day ahead. For lunch, I like to keep it light with a salad with vegetables if you want to include a bit of protein, you can add grilled salmon or some hard boiled eggs. Dinner is my heaviest meal. I always begin with a leafy green salad before my entree. I usually opt for either a hearty grain bowl with lots of vegetables, or I’ll do fish or lamb with roasted veggies on the side. My go-to dessert is organic dark chocolate. ”

Stay hydrated—just not at mealtimes.
“It’s important to drink water throughout the day, but not as much while eating so you don’t flush away all the important enzymes in your mouth and esophagus.”

Snack if you must—but make it count.
“I’m not a big snacker because I think it’s important to sit down and enjoy a meal; your body responds better to that. However, if you are a gal on the go, try packing some crudité with hummus or smashed avocado, or even summer rolls are a great option.”

But avoid THIS snack at all costs. “Don’t reach for nuts as a midday snack it’s one thing I try to steer people away from, and they are always surprised. Yes, they have healthy fats and are packed with protein, but they are very heavy on the digestive system and very dehydrating. Also, if you opt for roasted instead of raw, they become very fattening because the oil found in the nuts is compromised when heated.

If you absolutely need to have nuts, only have a handful and make sure they are raw and organic. And, make sure you hydrate afterwards.”

Make sure you steer clear of these bloat offenders.
“I recommend avoiding carbonated beverages. They make you gassy and bloated, and some say they can cause cellulite.  I also tell my clients to stay away from dairy as it is very mucus-producing, and can cause bloat and constipation for the people who don’t digest it properly. Fried foods are always a big no-no. regardless of the date or season. 

Maintaining high energy levels is actually simpler than you think.
“Stay hydrated, eat light through the day, and opt for sustainable caffeine options like green tea. Also, make sure you are getting the proper amount of sleep.”
