Either former supermodel Gisele Bündchen is superhuman, or she eats incredibly healthy
and exercises on the reg.
But while it might be easier to believe the former, Bündchen herself has admitted she's
all about that healthy living.
Here's what one of the world's highest-earning supermodels eats in a day.
"I'm not sure if I wanna share my secrets."
Your eyes may still be half-closed when you reach for your morning coffee, but that's
not the case for Bündchen.
She told E! News that when she wakes up at 5:30 every morning,
"The first thing I do when I wake up is I just have a lukewarm water with lemon squeezed
in.
It helps wake up your body and your metabolism, and it just kind of gets things started."
And there are plenty of reasons to share in her beverage of choice.
Registered dietitian Stephanie Ferrari told Insider,
"You are jump-starting your day with a good source of vitamin C from the lemon and all
the benefits of naturally hydrating with water."
Bündchen's Instagram grid is mostly full of selfies, photos of her kids, and vacations.
But, every once in a while, a green juice makes a telling appearance.
She once posted:
"Someone is trying to steal my green juice."
And on another pic, she wrote:
"Green juice lover!"
Looks like her kids are into that green juice living, too.
Bündchen would probably agree with the general consensus that brunch is better than breakfast,
but she doesn't wait until Sunday Funday to eat it.
After her morning lemon water, Bundchen drinks a super-vitamin juice, and told Vogue,
"Later in the morning, we'll have brunch with fresh fruit, eggs, avocados, gluten-free bread
and coconut butter."
Finally, something we can sink our teeth into!
"I feel the most important thing we can do is take time for ourselves.
We have to nourish ourselves."
She might be the most beautiful woman in the world, but Bundchen became the mom next door
when she admitted to E! News,
"As I'm making the breakfasts for my kids, I usually have whatever they don't eat…
I always say being a mom is like eating the rest of everybody's food.
It's crazy."
Whether the morning menu calls for scrambled eggs, avocado toast, coconut yogurt with fresh
berries, or toast with almond butter and honey, Bündchen doesn't mind diving into her kids'
leftovers.
She joked,
"That's all of my jobs as a mom.
I don't like wasting food, so I'm cleaning plates."
Bundchen and her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, are all about those
superfoods, at least according to Bündchen, who told Vogue,
"I love the principle that 'the body is like a temple', and that by loving and nourishing
our bodies, we can improve how we feel."
That's why a whopping 80 percent of Bündchen's diet is composed of organic veggies, whole
grains, beans, and healthy fats.
Bündchen and the family's nutritionist-chef, Allen Campbell, also shared a "favorite homemade
recipe," which incorporates broccoli, kale, avocado, quinoa, cherry tomatoes, and sweet
potatoes.
Is it any wonder that Vogue cites Bündchen as "the world's most clean-living model?"
With superfoods making up 80 percent of Bündchen's diet, you may be wondering what fills up the
other 20 percent.
Well, it's not cookies and chips.
Chef Campbell told Boston.com,
"The other 20 percent is lean meats: grass-fed organic steak, duck every now and then, and
chicken.
As for fish, I mostly cook wild salmon."
Campbell admitted the Bündchen-Brady family does not follow a standard American diet,
and says they eat much healthier, adding,
"Sugar is the death of people."
With an 80/20 ratio of superfoods and lean meats, respectively, that doesn't leave a
whole lot of room for much of anything else.
Campbell rattled off the no-go foods for the household, listing:
"No white sugar.
No white flour.
No MSG.
No coffee.
No caffeine.
No fungus.
No dairy."
And for this couple, that's… no problem.
Tom Brady once posted a photo of the family dog, writing,
"I turn my back for one second and Fluffy's in the freezer…
At least she didn't get into the avocado ice cream!"
Wait, avocado what?
While Brady likes the treat so much he published the recipe in his cookbook, others think it's
a sad substitute for the real deal.
Sports Illustrated reported…
"Avocado ice cream is not ice cream.
Call it pudding.
Or health mush… it tastes like actual dirt."
"The only ice cream quality it has, is it's cold."
Nevertheless, this husband-and-wife pair are big fans of this body-healing fruit.
For Halloween the couple even dressed up as avocado toast.
