Cindy Crawford Diet

By Beverly Smith

It is hard to believe she turns 40 in February. Cindy Crawford is one of the original supermodels. Cindy and her mole have graced more magazine covers than anyone else in the world and she still looks fabulous as she enjoys a beach in Mexico.

Mother of two chidlren, Cindy attributes her figure to eating often - five times a day, to be exact. Just a tiny hint of cellulite around her sculpted bottom is the only clue that time has passed since her prime in the late 80s and early 90s.

Cindy's secrets to maintaining her gorgeous figure: "Drink lots of water, find a form of exercise you enjoy and don't smoke," she recommends.
"You have to eat regularly to maintain your energy levels - if you starve your body it simply stores everything that you do eat."

Cindy is a fan of the Zone Diet.
This eating plan controls portions and recommends meals are carefully balanced, containing 40 per cent carbohydrate, 30 per cent protein and 30 per cent fat. Followers of the Zone Diet eat little and often.

Cindy says: "I snack between breakfast and lunch and again at 4pm so I'm not starving by the time I sit down and eat dinner."

Once the queen of the fitness video, Cindy does a daily workout involving 20 minutes cardiovascular work, walking or running on an incline, then 40 minutes of free weights. But then, she does have her own gym in her LA mansion. She's also a yoga fan.

Cindy looks after her skin using her own skincare line called Meaningful Beauty.
