Supermodel Diet Plan from an Industry Insider

After working with and getting to know top models over the course of a year in
New York City and abroad, there are definite patterns in meal habits and exercise.
Genetics can only go so far in keeping up lean, healthy bodies.

Of all the girls observed, the leanest and healthiest were not the ones that trimmed
calories down to an unhealthy level, but instead carefully balanced nutrient intake and
meal timing. The following are examples of actual meals throughout the day:

Breakfast, eaten anytime between 8am-11am:

1 cup raisin bran or similar whole-grain fiber cereal in 1% milk

or
1 cup of oats in 1% milk, cooked
and
1 small cup of low sugar yogurt
1 cup coffee
Small glass of water or orange juice
~500 calories

Breakfast, of any meal, is the time to eat either fatty or sugary foods. Your
metabolism and daily plans can and will burn off this food throughout the day.
Additionally, a hearty breakfast will satisfy you well into the lunch hours. This will leave
you with focus to complete your daily responsibilities, unlike some diet plans that
advocate only eating a morsel in the morning.

Lunch, eaten anytime between 12:00 noon-4:00pm

Turkey, chicken, or similar lean cold-cut with your choice of cheese, veggie
toppings, as a sandwich between whole wheat bread slices. Be weary of dressings high in
saturated fat or sugar. Olive oil and vinegar is a great substitute.
A complex carbohydrate in addition (such as quality, baked chips) will also help
squash your appetite. A sugar-free carbonated beverage on top will leave you filling full.
Now is also a good time of day to pop a daily multi-vitamin.

Dinner, eaten anytime between 6:00pm-9:00pm

Many sources stress dinner not being eaten approaching bedtime, but this is just
silly. Most people’s evening activities are incredibly relaxed, blurring the line between
resting rate burned calories while awake, and asleep.

When dinner time rolls around, it is best to avoid any sort of carbohydrate. Now is
the time to pack on the protein and a small amount of unsaturated fat to kill your appetite.
Options such as chicken breast, turkey, lean red meats, cooked with olive oil are great.
Even a slice of cheese melted over is acceptable – The only truly treacherous thing is
carbs. A small portion of vegetables such as broccoli or carrots is acceptable. Stay away
from any overly-starchy veggie. Chase the meal with plenty of water to leave you
fulfilled prior to bed.

The meals provided are just a small excerpt, but you can mix up the variety to suit
your taste. There are a few key guidelines that need to be followed, at all costs:

AVOID SUGAR. It is never beneficial to eat sugar. If you’re going to do it, do it

during breakfast. Even fruit juice is just as bad as soda as far as dieting is concerned.
Check the label, if there’s a lot of sugar, head for the hills. Splenda should be your best
friend when it comes to sweetening things. ALSO: Many fad diets advocate eating lots of
fruits and vegetables. These nature-borne things seem to be so innocent and infallible for
a diet, but in reality, fruits contain a boatload of sugar, and vegetables such as potatoes
contain lots of starches that are similar to sugar. Oddly enough, fad diets and juice diets
don’t work and are an unhealthy way to lose weight.

Scale your meal like a triangle, starting your earliest meal with a lot of calories,
and decreasing as it grows later in the day. As mentioned, you’ll burn off the earlier
calories by being active during the day.

As far as working out is concerned – Don’t make the mistake so many women
make. Instead of doing nothing but treadmills and jogging, try actually lifting weights. As
the fat comes off, you’ll actually have muscle tone underneath, for a healthier look, as
opposed to loose skin on bone. Also, muscle mass burns more calories per pound than
other tissue. If you build muscle, you’ll burn more calories just sitting around after your
workout. And compared to running, lifting weights burns a greater amount of calories.
