I model.. and not most are anorexic. My model girlfriends and I just eat VERY healthy, and drink tons of ice water. Some of us are just lucky with a good metabolism.

I think they are thin because they exercise 2 hrs day. and take diet pills. They also eat very little food. I admire the model's size. I want to be that size.

EAT CLEAN, sugar is the white poison!
you would either have to be anorexic (which turns muscle to fat to burn the fat for energy because your lacking fuel)
OR
eat every2-4 hours in very small healthy portions, and tons of water helps!
spicy food speed up the metabolism up to 25% for about 3 or 4 hours, so does caffine!

Well...see i model. And i have a great metabolism!!I've been small all my life and i do go work out 5 to 6 days a week! So i can stay perfectly fit and keep my abs!! And its not hard to me to be a model its just for some models they have to eat really less of foods and all..like yea i know some woman that are anorexic...But most of them aren't! But I just had a baby 5 months ago and i got kinda big in the belly but i didn't get "FAT" Like some woman do when they are pregnant! I was told my my husband that i am one of the hottest pregnant models he's ever seen! And i weigh 110 pounds right now and when i was pregnant with my baby I weight 128 130 around there! And i lost it in like a month! Its that simple for me! Well yawlwanna be models good luck!

some models have a balanced and healthy mixed diet but most actually dont eat very much at all. The quickest 5 day weight loss plan that most models use is just a whole heap of caffiene such as this

breakfast:
3 ciggaretts and 3 cups of black coffee

Lunch:
2 packets of chewin gum to avoid eating aswell as 4 ciggaretts

dinner:
nuts, dry fruits or raw fruit and veggies

snacks:
ciggarets, a piece of fruit or maybe the odd line of cocaine every now and again.

a lot of them are just born that way, blessed with a fast metabolism.

the rest work hard, spending hours at the gym, eating healthily, albeit scantily.

eating disorders are also known to be rife. a large number of models, especially beginners, suffer from anorexia, bulimia and other disorders in varying degrees.

To put it simply, if you're not born skinny, then you have to fight to get that way.

Alot of models are actually encourgaed to develop eating disorders or start using drugs such as cocaine to increase their modeling success.  On the other hand some models eat a well balanced diet and excecise to keep a good shape.  I am going to start modeling when I graduate next year from high school and I would recommend starting to eat good before going out into the bussiness because you can get sucked into horrible things and you dont want to end up dead just to be on the cover of a magazine....is it really worth it?????
So my suggestion is to eat good and excercise and you can be a model!

I believe that some have eating problems and some just eat very healthy. Some of the models are born with a skinny body and there really isn't anything they could do about it.

model do eat healthy and exercise. it you have to be healthy or else you can pass out on the runway. just keep up consistently with exercise and eat healthy. You can have sweets every once in a while, just don't go nuts. my favorite exercise is walking. i walk four miles a day. but don't run. when you run, you pump your muscles making them shorter. walking elongates them. making you leaner, like a model.

they probably just eat small meals five times a day.  that keeps your stomach digesting and your metabolism running.

i dont understand why people get here and bag out models. if your so against it why are you even here? im not trying to mean i just dont understand it.
i am a model, i'mnot naturally thin but i dont starve myself or spend half my time in a toilet bowl, i follow a vegan diet & exercise twice a day 6 days a week. i drink plenty of water & tea in the morning.
i understand a lot of models are starving themselves but not all are & if young girls are looking on the net about model diets we should be feeding them positive information not stuff like models are only thin because they spew or dont eat. what do you think these young girls are going to do now?.. starve themselves because they think thats the only way to be thin.

Sure it's true that some models and recently celebrities have headline eating disorders that make them well known. But it is true that a lot of models are just lucky with high metabolisms so it's unfair to say that all people who are skinny, primarily models, are all anorexic or bulimic. There is also such thing as people who physically cannot easily gain weight and these are the people that are accused of having eating disorders. Is that really fair?

Okay here it is. I have always been skinny, but not model skinny. When I was asked to become a model here is what I did. (Keep in mind I LOVE food). Wake up, drink a dark coffee, cook three egg whites. Take a handful of vitamins, and fiber. I would be hungry again around 11. Everyday for lunch, considering I did not have time I ate one Lean Cuisine meal. Considering these contain a lot of sodium do not eat more than one per day. Around 5 I would go to the gym. 60 minutes of cardio was all I could do. For dinner I would grill vegetables, and eat either Salmon or tuna. Chicken is also good. A redbull would be thrown in there somewhere. Snack on lean turkey if hungry. It is hard for the first 4 days, then it is normal and any heavier food doesn't even seem appetizing. Good luck!!
