Reprinted from our sister-blog: Everything I Need to Know I Learned From A Lingerie Model
Lingerie Models (and us stylists, hair & makeup pros, photographers, assistants, directors, set decorators...the list goes on and on) often have to be on set WAY before the 'rest of the world' is up...very often before dawn.
(model at London Fashion Week having "lunch").
The problem is... you're hungry for that many MORE HOURS in the day. To make matters worse - the catering and craft-services that feed us have to satisfy not only health-conscious models & crew - but uber-hungry 20-something photo assistants who lift heavy equipment and lights all day. Cheesy crossiants, crumbly donuts, mounds of bacon & other so delicious super fattening, cellulite bound options are always on the menu.
With all this temptation - the best models always have some 'rip cord' stash of snacks in their Louis V's, Pradas & Stella's that they can pull to help them navigate the stormy, junk-food skies.
Here's a few faves: Note: We're not saying these are necessarily "healthy" snacks - just a lower calorie option when the cravings strike.
* Half a "3 Musketeers" candy bar. Save the other half for the next day or share it with your 'Model Munchies' buddy.
* Asparagus is not only a scrumptious snack when cooked, cooled and dipped in this delish 40 cal, cucumber & dill dip - it's a natural diuretic
* Celebs including, Super-Trainer, Jillian Michaels, Jennifer Hudson & Katy Perry LOVE PopChips
* 9 Hershey Kisses = 200 calories so you can eat 4-5 Hershey kisses for around 100 cal... the Perfect Chocolate-Fix.
* One of my favorite lingerie models that I love to work with - Jessica P. swears by Green Tea to stave off cravings and burn fat and Victoria Beckham guzzles Peppermint Tea daily.
* Jennifer Hudson is a VitaTops Muffins fan and word has it that she even has them on tour with her.
* BlenderBottles for healthy shakes like these are always in the model's bags. The unique, blending ball is great for re-stirring a shake or juice after you get back from your last shot.
* Hungry Girl has a great list of 100 calorie snacks here.
watch this spot! more 'Model Munchies' are on their way...
