Often making appearances in swimsuit issues and on global runways, Emily Ratajkowski clearly has one of the most enviable bodies in the modeling industry. Just look at her:
While her insane physique may look like the product of veggie morsels and endless crunches, the model has revealed to Elle that her typical lunch is actually quite similar to ours: She usually reaches for a salad or a sandwich—unless she’s on set, in which case she deals with catering. On top of cooking for herself, she also keeps fit with regular yoga sessions and the occasional Los Angeles hike.
But just because she maintains a healthy diet and fitness routine doesn’t mean Emily curbs her indulgences, especially when it comes to cupcakes, croissants and meat. “You know, I’m a carnivore,” she says in the interview. “I really like to eat meat. I crave iron, so I am definitely not the kind of person who you will often find eating a plain salad. I like to keep it really balanced to give my body energy and also be healthy.”
Ultimately, the model advises respecting your cravings but staying aware of the foods you choose to eat. “I think it’s really important to give yourself a break,” she continues. “And also just really think about where things are coming from and what kind of ingredients are going into your body.”
A well-balanced approach to exercise and food—if that’s all it takes to look like Emrata, you can count us in.
