Supermodel Diet tips

Karolina Kurkova.

It's a name that I must admit I've never heard of before, but if you are into the modelling scene you may know of her.

Anyway, I read in the paper this morning what her nutrition tips are to keep her looking the way she does.

Let's check out Karolina's diet and see what she eats - or if she eats anything at all!

As quoted in todays Daily Telegraph:

"I eat very clean and fresh. I wake up and I have a green juice with a little protein powder and glutamine mixed in. Then two hours later I have two hard-boiled eggs," says Kurkova...

"Then, two or three hours later I'll have 10 nuts, like walnuts or almonds. Then I'll have grilled fish with vegetables and salads. And then again, a green juice. I just keep it simple."

The Czech Republic-born supermodel's preshow ritual is a little more intense - no carbs, no wheat and three hours of exercise a day.

So what do I think?

Surprisingly, it doesn't look too bad for a supermodel as they are notorious for not eating anything apart from a celery stick a day.

The best part of her diet is she goes wheat free before a show - the perfect way to increase your fat loss results is to go wheat free. If you read anything that I produce in the Aussie Fatblast manual.

The downside is she trains for 3 hours a day probably doing long slow, boring cardio.

That is a no-no when you are looking for the best fat loss results.

You should know that interval training is the number one way to burn your fat off and keep it off.

Karolina also has a thing for nuts. Even if it's only 10 of them, at least she has the right idea.

The no carbs thing?

Sort of right. You don't want to eliminate your carb intake but you want to minimise it if you are looking to look amazing.

So, all in all, she is going alright on the food front - plenty of fish, eggs, vegetables and salads.

Who would've though the food diary of supermodel Karolina Kurkova isn't as bad as you would have imagined.



Finally, you have probably heard me talk about the 12 Days of Fitness a bit lately.

In case you missed it and have been hiding from me, it is the world's biggest fat loss and fitness giveaway.

To get your access all areas pass you just need to sign up right here.

The best news is there is no catch and there is nothing to buy.

It is the fitness professionals way of saying Merry Christmas.

Don't miss the boat this year - the gift giving has already begun and I know I will check out what's on offer to increase my knowledge from some of my fitness peers.

What's your excuse?

Fire UP!

HSC Nutrition Tips for Anxious Parents and Students

It doesn't seem that long ago when I was the one about to sit my HSC but to tell you the truth, it was 13 years ago.

A lot of water has been under the bridge since then.

Well, it is all on again and it starts tomorrow.

So, while some students may now be wishing that they studied a bit more instead of partying with their mates (I know how you feel), the one area that you can improve on now is through your nutrition habits and these nutrition tips should definitely help you feel more energised and alert during your exams.

My first and biggest tip is to forget everything that any nutritionist will tell you about so called healthy eating.

Most nutritionist advice will be to eat a nice "healthy" breakfast such as a piece of toast with some cereal.

For you lunch have a nice meat sandwich - processed deli meat of course is okay supposedly.

Wrong and wrong.

Your breakfast option should be to avoid breads, cereals and other processed rubbish and go for something like fruit and greek yoghurt.

You could also go for poached eggs or a nice omelette that combines a few vegetable sources like spinach and carrots as an example with a small can of mixed beans for added protein - great brain food.

Lunch might be a tuna salad or even use a tin of salmon - once again, fish and other meats from the ocean are great brain food.

Students need to eliminate the processed carbs that will give them a big sugar hit only to see them crash right in the middle of their exam, feel sleepy and tired and wanting to just go to bed.

Also try and avoid too much of a dependence on coffee.

Yeah coffee is okay but don't overdose on it. Definitely make sure you don't use any added sugar and forget what everyone tells you about low fat milk.

That is just too processed to even worry about.

Finally, get a sufficient amount of sleep so you feel rested when you wake up. Everyone will be different but make sure you get at least seven hours - preferably more.

Don't burn the candle at both ends - there is plenty of time for that after your exams finish!

All of my nutrition secrets are about to be revealed next Monday when my Aussie Fatblast Success System launches to the world.

The Secret Guide to Smart Eating explodes all of these food myths that I have mentioned today and more.

Stay tuned as you are sure to get the fat loss results that you are looking for when you forget about what the nutritionist is trying to beat down your throat and focus on a system that gets you real world fat loss results.

Don't let fear hold you back!
