Here's What Model's Eat & Drink To Make Their Skin Look A+

There's certainly no shortage of hands reaching for sustenance, including models who will eat on brownies, cookies, and cheesy pizzas topped with crushed bacon bits while they're getting their makeup and hair done. We were curious, though, about what models specifically eat and drink in order to prep their skin for photoshoots and other events, so we asked them flat-out. Interestingly, some are stringent or creative with their diets, while others are all about that pizza and chocolates with no repercussions.

When it comes to models, they're not as forthcoming with such information. We all know they make sure to drink tons of water and are often genetically blessed, but we're also pretty sure they put in work at the gym and adhere to a disciplined nutrition plan. We found it refreshing to learn about their dedication to fitness and eating whole, nourishing foods as well as their candid approach to the subject. For food, they eat in moderation.

 They don't think it's good to cut anything out 100% or go on some crazy diet. I've never really believed in that, and I think your body will respond well if you make it happy in a moderate way, kind of like portion control. For breakfast, some like scrambled eggs, avocado, oatmeal, granola and yogurt. Lunch would be a piece of fish like salmon and then maybe some salad on the side. One day they have chicken and salad, and then dinner the same thing, a protein and a green. For snacks, some like nuts and those dried peas. They might not gain as much as some people, but they would be slumping off if they ate sugar all the time. It's more like health consciousness, but they also always do the 80/20: 80% of the time, I eat healthily and work out, and stay on a schedule because they're really all about taking care of their body. Your body is like my temple, and you only get one shot. You shouldn't feel guilty about eating a burger, but it's more about knowing the nutritious value of what's in a good piece of chicken or veggies. 

 


The vegan diet, also known as "Plant-Based Diet", has become very popular over the last few years. From Beyoncé and Billy Eilish to supermodels such as Bridget Malcolm, more and more stars are getting excited about plant-based food. On the one hand the welfare of the animals and on the other hand positive effects on skin and hair are decisive reasons for a vegan diet. To eat plant-based means to eat only food that is not of animal origin. That means no meat, no milk and no eggs. The diet is therefore based on fruit, vegetables, vegetable protein such as beans and tofu, and cereals such as noodles and rice. A vegan diet can easily provide all the nutrients your body needs - except vitamin B12, which you can get at any drugstore - and the followers of this diet swear by cleaner skin, fuller hair and a better sense of well-being.

Conclusion

Even though famous supermodels, as shown above, follow very different nutritional plans, there is a very simple list of foods that you as a model can incorporate into your diet, even without a complex nutritional concept:

 

Fruits and vegetables: Eating fruits and vegetables provides your body with essential nutrients such as vitamins, antioxidants, fiber and micronutrients. Since fruits and vegetables are relatively low in calories, you can eat larger quantities of them without consuming a large number of calories. If you find it hard to eat several portions of fruit and vegetables a day, green smoothies could be a perfect solution for you! For example, put a handful of baby spinach, a banana and some berries with oat milk in a blender and you can drink your daily portion of fruit and vegetables easily! And it tastes delicious too! Watch out: Juices also contain vitamins but compared to smoothies they have no fiber. Smoothies are therefore better than juices!

 

Complex carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are also important for a healthy diet. Instead of white flour, you should switch to whole grain cereals. Brown rice, whole meal pasta, oats, millet or quinoa, for example, are good alternatives. Not only will complex carbohydrates keep you full longer, they also contain more vitamins and nutrients that your body needs.

 

Protein: Protein is extremely important because it keeps you feeling full, gives you energy and builds muscle after training. Protein also requires more energy for digestion than carbohydrates, which means your body uses more calories in the conversion of protein. By the way, the healthiest protein is found in plants such as beans, lentils, tofu and tempeh. If you don't feel like cooking, you can also simply mix vegetable protein powder (mostly from soy and pea protein) into a smoothie or into your cereal.

 

Unsaturated fats: A moderate amount of polyunsaturated fats is extremely important for the functions of the human body. Unsaturated fats can be found in nuts, olive oil, avocados and fish, for example.
