Many models today are clueless on how the body works. They easily fall for fly by night diet fads which do not work and risk their overall health. Here are a few basic tips for models looking to have a health diet.
Consult your health care provider.
Set an appointment with your doctor. Get medical advice on how you should start your diet. Many models today discard this basic health care intervention and just blindly participate to take on new diet regimens on impulse without any medical supervision. Remember, our bodies respond to food alterations differently. If you have a predisposing condition, it might affect your health.
Boost your metabolism by increasing your muscle mass.
Picture your body as a car and your metabolism system as your car engine. If what you eat is your gas, your metabolism burns this gas to allow your body to do its daily activities. Like a vehicle, you want more mileage per gallon. You want your body to burn more energy faster than it being stored as fat. So what you need is a body tune up. By having a daily program of exercise, you are tuning up your fatty muscles and converting them into lean muscles which burn more calories. More muscles burn more calories so either get up every morning and do a 30 minute run or enroll yourself to a gym.
Never skip breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day.
Eat a king size breakfast. It’s the meal where you get most of your energy throughout the day. Then eat a queen size lunch. Your food portions for lunch should be lesser than your breakfast. This is where you get your afternoon energy. Then eat a prince size dinner. This meal should be the least food portion of all the 3 meals. By evening, you won’t be metabolizing as much as day time because you’ll be sleeping in a few hours so lesser food is better. Excess food intake is just converted to fat so we want to limit food intake.
When eating, grab the smallest plate you can.
Using smaller plates allow us to control our eating by getting smaller food portions. This way we are not over stuffing ourselves with food but training our system to eat less. We don’t need food we need more burning.
Divide your 3 main meals into 6-9 smaller meals.
Eat small but frequent meals. Eat smaller portions and have 2 snack times in between the 3 main meals. This means you will be eating more times but with same amount of food. This way you are spreading food intake through out the day allowing more metabolism to take place with the same amount of food intake.
Take supplemental vitamins and minerals.
Find a vitamin brand that is organic. Organic vitamins are more potent and effective than synthetic vitamins. Invest on a daily multivitamin, an omega 3 capsule and vitamin B.
Increase protein intake and avoid fatty food.
Choose food options with high protein and low in fat. Muscles need protein to develop. Avoid high fatty food like cake, ice cream and donuts. Combine this diet with a high intake of fluids especially water.
