Abstract

Home > A healthy model is a model of health A healthy model is a model of health [1] Dear Alice, I am a student in California, and have recently been invited to attend a model search event next month. To prepare for this event, I would like to lose about fifteen or twenty pounds. What type of diet plan would you suggest for models? For your information, I am 5'7", weigh 147 pounds, Asian American, medium frame, 20 years old, and physically active (I do step aerobics three times a week). Another question: How do models manage to stay slim? Being tall is one thing, but keeping the weight down while being tall is rather difficult. What do models eat? I usually eat between 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and I eat meat (chicken, fish, turkey, seafood only) about three times a week. I really appreciate any advice you suggest. I am also working with a nutritionist here at my campus, but I only meet with her twice a month, and I'd like some suggestions from other nutritionists and health educators.

For a well-rounded exercise plan, be sure to include both cardio and weight training workouts. Current recommendations for a healthy dose of exercise [2] for adults include 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week, plus muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days per week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back,
