How much do models actually eat? Healthy diet or anorexic menu?

Author: Vitalia Belinskaya

The discussion about how healthy the image of female beauty is promoted by models continues. This topic is especially relevant in the midst of Fashion Week in Sao Paolo, Brazil. How skinny are fashion models really? Today this topic is hotly discussed all over the world, and the models themselves speak more openly about the fear of anorexia, about their problems with weight and food.

Thus, the new catwalk star, Canadian model Coco Rocha, who has repeatedly opened shows for the most famous designers and has been the face of Dior and YSL, admitted that the stress of the fashion business almost drove her to anorexia. Even eating one apple was difficult for her and made her feel guilty. When she weighed 48 kg, modeling agents insisted that she still needed to lose weight to be 100% in demand. “We don’t want you to be anorexic, but the anorexic look is in fashion this season”...

Coco Rocha: age – 19 years, height – 178 cm, measurements – 81-61-86

Another super-model, Czech Karolina Kurkova, who for several years was an “angel” of the most enchanting fashion show Victoria’s Secret, said that she almost became anorexic after she could not “fit” into a dress during a fitting before the show .

Karolina Kurkova: age – 24 years, height – 180 cm, parameters – 84-58-87 In Spain and the UK, restrictions on age (not younger than 15) and weight (body mass index not lower than 18, 5). Even the most influential person in the fashion world, Anna Wintour, said in an interview that she was “tired of models that are too thin.” But do designers and modeling agencies share the same opinion? Here is an excerpt from the diary of 21-year-old American model Denise Mullins, who recorded her daily diet during New York Fashion Week.

Today our question is: “How many calories should a modern Russian girl consume?”

Kristina Bogdanova:

For me, the daily norm ranges from 1200 to 1500 kcal. We should not forget that the more active our day is, the more energy the body requires, therefore we have the right to allow something tasty on such a day.

As banal as it may seem, I plan my diet in accordance with the old proverb: “eat breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, and give dinner to your enemy.” For breakfast you can allow up to 60% of the daily requirement of kilocalories. For me, the best breakfast is oatmeal, but not instant. I cook the porridge in water, and then add a little cream and a spoonful of honey. Lunch should be less calorie, usually soup, salad and unsweetened tea. Apples or kefir are suitable as a snack. Finally, for dinner, a salad of fresh vegetables, grapefruit or cottage cheese. Personally, I sometimes treat myself to an advance payment, i.e. I eat ice cream, and in the evening on the treadmill I set a goal to spend 100 kcal more than what was contained in the ice cream. This gives a certain incentive, and of course, after every workout you feel like a winner.

Tamara Puchkova:

I think the average girl should consume 1500 calories.

As a rule, it is important to know the level of energy expenditure of the human body and the process of its vital activity. Breakfast - complex carbohydrates, which will serve to maintain strength for the whole day. Afterwards you can eat fruit - a quick carbohydrate. For lunch - proteins, complex and fast carbohydrates. Dinner - a quickly digestible vegetable salad, a piece of fish.

Lyubov Skvortsova:

There is a well-known scientifically proven fact that you need to consume at least 1200 kcal per day. This is exactly how much a modern girl should consume if she wants to lose weight. For those who want to maintain their weight, the required number of kilocalories per day is about 2000. These are general standards, but it should be remembered that everything is purely individual and for each person the required daily requirement in kilocalories is also different.

But don't focus on calories. You need to monitor the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates you consume. Particular attention should be paid to carbohydrates. To have a beautiful body, you need to give up “empty” carbohydrates - buns, sweets, chocolates, alcohol, sugar, cookies, sausages and sausages. In fact, this list can be kept endlessly, but the point is clear that all kinds of goodies should be thrown away. It is also necessary to give up “food waste”, especially since it causes enormous harm to our body - mayonnaise, ketchup, all various sauces and salted nuts in bags. Despite all of the above, you need to maintain proper nutrition. You need to eat often and in small portions, and not just once and a whole bowl. A day you need to take 5-6 meals every 2-3 hours and under no circumstances give up breakfast! But I think the most important thing is to have a daily routine and sleep at least 8 hours.

Alena Eremina:

In my opinion, it is the number of calories that does not matter. What matters is how healthy you eat, how many vitamins you consume

I believe that you shouldn’t limit yourself in food, you just need to keep in mind that you are what you eat. Also, in addition to eating healthy food, physical activity is necessary to always be in good shape and have good health. A person who lives by such rules is a cheerful and full of energy person.

Elena Shalimova:

I believe that in order to maintain a balance in weight and be active, no matter how trivial it may sound, you need to eat right (although this is not always possible), and play sports, and of course lead a healthy lifestyle. I myself try to adhere to this system and eat more fruits and vegetables, especially since now is the season to supplement your body with vitamins. The variety of fruits, berries and vegetables is mind-boggling, so the choice is yours. But the main thing is not to get carried away; in an effort to lose weight, everything should be harmonious. And know that we are all naturally beautiful!

Honestly, I have never been on a diet in my life, and such an idea never occurred to me. Nature has rewarded me with a slim figure, and therefore I don’t need it. But I think that every girl should take care of herself, her figure and keep it in good shape. No matter what proportions your body is, you always need to maintain balance and look good.

I heard this wonderful word calories many times, and one day I decided to immerse myself in this world. It's actually a very interesting thing. If you take into account that each product has its share of calories, then you can speculate on this topic, and at the same time remember your mathematical knowledge.

Calories are like energy for our body, and there should be a lot of energy. After all, a modern girl needs to be healthy and energetic. Well, I read a very interesting article in one magazine about calories and how to calculate them correctly. First of all, it depends on lifestyle, physical activity, height and weight. Therefore, the approach to this situation must be individual. But on average, a young girl should consume about 2,000 calories per day, and if her lifestyle is quite active, then about 2,200 calories. As for me, all these calculations take too much time, and take away that very wonderful feeling from the anticipation of food.

Stay tuned every week, maybe the next five contestants will answer your question.

Diet features

The diet of top models requires due attention and a lot of work, because not every girl is able to carefully and daily monitor her figure. The most effective and strict diet can maintain a slim body shape for a long time.

The first in line to follow this are the models. After all, they perform on the podium, and few people are attracted to folds on their stomachs and chubby cheeks. With a large figure, a woman greatly limits herself in choosing tight-fitting clothes. Due to excess weight, a person naturally gets tired faster, which makes life almost unbearable, and femininity and attractiveness in general are lost.

Positive and negative points

In addition to strict diets and clenched teeth, the girl saturates her body with vitamins and minerals every day during her diet. Thanks to a varied, strict, healthy diet, a person is able to improve his health, use less physical activity for development, and also ignore illnesses and periodic lack of sleep.

With a minimum period of food discipline, which lasts 3 days, the female sex achieves very rapid effectiveness in losing weight and improving the digestive tract.

But in addition to the stunning benefits, there are also negative aspects that are recommended to be avoided immediately. Positive factors:

a small amount of food makes the stomach easier;
in the shortest possible time the body does not have time to deplete to an undesirable state;
at the end of the diet, digestion improves significantly.

not everyone is able to withstand and not break down in front of delicious cookies;
non-compliance with recommendations can lead to exacerbation and exhaustion;
Contraindicated for weak health people with stomach or cardiovascular problems.
When pregnancy or lactation has not ended, it is prohibited to use a strict diet.

Model wife and everyday life

A representative of the stronger sex who has firmly decided that he will marry only a model girl must understand that everyday life is not her strong point. She will not collect your socks around the house and stand at the stove all day, frying cutlets.

A model wife will never have enough time for her personal life. As a rule, such girls have crazy work schedules. In addition, you need to constantly keep yourself in shape. Several hours in the gym, beauty salons, massages, spa treatments... Her life revolves around this. After all, her job is to look good.

AMERICAN MODEL KELLY MITTENDORF

At the age of 16, Kelly got her first job as a model. It was a shoot for a Prada campaign with the brilliant photographer Steven Meisel and makeup artist Pat McGrath. Since then, a simple girl from Arizona has become a recognizable person in the fashion industry. She was able to overcome the barrier of popularity in a matter of months and appear on the covers of Vogue Italia, V Magazine, Dazed & Confused and ID, something that many of her colleagues have not been able to achieve over the years.

MODELING AND STYLING

Your modeling career began quite a long time ago. What do you consider the most important achievement during this time?

The biggest achievement of my career is probably the fact that I managed to stay in this industry for all these years. Even though it was incredibly difficult at times, I always fought and believed in myself. In terms of specific work, I've been lucky enough to shoot for companies like Hudson Jeans, 7 for All Mankind, Zalando, Tommy Hilfiger, Bourjois, Make Up For Ever, work with incredible photographers and teams, and have been featured in Vogue several times.
