modeldietHow many times you have wondered how a super model stays fit even after she has given birth to children? Fashion models are always looking good because they depend on their slim figures. Don’t be panicked, we are not suggesting you to go for a leaves and nuts diet and we are not the advocates of size zero, but I think that you will find it very interesting to know the diet that models are following.

The Fashion Models Diet
The best way for models to look perfect is to “Cleanse” or “Fast.” Those are not referring to a starving diet since they include soups and juices over a 3-7 day period. Actually is more of a detox routine and they do it once or twice a year. The advantages of this detoxing diet are to clean your body from harmful toxins like preservatives and food additives combined with inhaled smoke. Also it is beneficial for the digestive system since it gives the colon the chance to get rid of all the fecal build up. The results are vivid because the liver and the kidneys are able to repair and replace the damaged cells instead of just removing the body toxins.
A “Cleanse” diet consists of fresh carrot, celery, beets, spinach, apple, coconut, broth and juices. You need to avoid the citrus and tomato juices cause are very acidic to drink while you follow this diet. It is vital to consume loads of water during detoxing and avoid intaking any unnecessary medications or supplements. The main benefits of this diet plan are weight loss, reduced body odour, shinier finger nails, stronger hair, reduced cellulite, a glowing complexion and more beautiful eyes. When the dieting period is finished, a model will start eating normally what many people may appear to think as a “real” diet. But it is just a healthy balanced diet that typically consists of the following meals:
—Breakfast
One boiled egg with a slice of whole-wheat bread
A bowl of cereal with skimmed milk
Black coffee
Total 369 calories

—Lunch
Turkey salad with balsamic vinagrette
Cup of tea with skimmed milk
Total 320 calories

—Early Evening Snack
Low fat Jell-O pudding
Total 100 calories

—Dinner
Lean Cuisine chicken a l’orange with rice
2 slices of low fat cheddar cheese with whole-wheat crackers
Total 448 calories

As you can see their total caloric intake per day is 1237cal. The objective of this diet is to maintain the daily calorie intake below 1500.

Bellow a characteristic example of a fashion model’s diet that also involves some exercises for 3 times per week is going to be presented. It is obvious that it’s not at all what you might originally imagine. It is actually a reasonable eating plan combined with moderate exercise. But in case this diet is too much for your stomach you can go for a natural herbal diet remedy.

The top 5 tips that fashion models suggest to you for staying fit

  1. Reduce your alcohol consumption. Alcohol inhibits the body’s ability to burn fat.
  2. Have more Black Pepper, Ginger and Chile Peppers. The spicy food will help you to speed up the body’s metabolism.
  3. Increase your muscle mass. It is known that muscle burn fat, so by adding 5lbs of muscle will add to burn another 250 calories a day.
  4. Increase your vitamin B and Calcium intake. The B-Vitamins provide you with more energy and enhance your metabolism.
  5. Add the portion of  Omega-3 Fatty Acids in your diet. Omega 3 fatty acids help you to balance your blood sugar levels and to control your appetite.
