Marisa Miller’s Supermodel Diet

Marisa Miller, Victoria’s Secret model and cover model for Sports Illustrated and the June issue of Shape is spilling the secrets of her supermodel-worthy diet. And it turns out- surprise- that it’s all about balance. Ready to hear her tips?

“I prefer healthy food and try not to bring too many treats into my house. But I don’t believe in depriving myself either. When I go to the movies, I have a sugary soda, not a diet one. And if I want a burger, I’ll have a burger. I just make it a point not to eat one five days in a row.”

Check out Marisa’s breakfast and pre-workout snacks:

“I usually have steel-cut oatmeal with sliced bananas in the morning, but if I want something fast, I whip up a protein shake. I mix soy or almond milk, yogurt, a banana, and a scoop of protein powder with frozen organic fruit, like mangoes or blueberries. I don’t measure anything; I just throw it all in the blender. I also carry Gnu Flavor & Fiber bars with me in case I need to eat on the run.”

But there are times when it takes serious willpower to resist temptation:

“My husband, Griffin, is tall and lean, so he can eat anything he wants. Some nights he’ll bring home french fries, and I have to resist them! I decide to say ‘no’ and then make something else, like a veggie burger. It’s not always an easy choice, but it’s a healthier one.”

Of course, Marisa also works out regularly to stay fit.

“I’m 100 percent natural, but I have to work hard to stay in shape. There’s no magic pill. Believe me, if there was, I’d know about it.”
