They seem to be the ultimate definition of glamour and beauty. I would kill for a body like that. Looking for some opinions:

-How many calories a day do you think a Victoria secret model eats?

-Do you think they lift weights or do tons of cardio?

-How many days per week do you think they exercise?

They are also incredibly skinny.

    Hard to take a guess. I think they probably train like fitness models..... Not sure how much they would eat in a day??

    they are hawt but certainly aren't fit... I would hate to have a body incapable of doing a pull up.

    I'm going to tell you that they lift heavy. It's probably a lie, but once you start lifting heavy you'll forgive me :)

    I would bet that strict diets and lots of cardio and yoga are a big part of why they look the way they do. However, I am sure that genetics play an even bigger part. I think some people are just genetically predisposed to be very thin. They are also generally quite tall and have beautiful facial features, which no amount of diet and exercise will change. Those women are very physically gifted while other women are gifted in other ways. We are all different and special in our own ways.

    I once saw a short expose and interview with Alessandra Ambrosio. She talked about what she eats and how she works out. Basically she eats and works out. She eats healthy and with small portions. Also she is 32!

    Just googled her, here is a link:

    http://healthyceleb.com/alessandra-ambrosio-workout-routine-and-diet-plan/3487/

    Alessandra Ambrosio that is. Not much in the weights, mostly elastic bands and some Brazilian martial arts. The type that mixes martial arts and dance. I did not read the whole article however.

    They're not that skinny by model standards.

    You have to understand that like 96% of what you see is genetics, 2% boob job, and 2% their diet and exercise. You can't diet and exercise your body to be somebody else's- it will always be a version of your own body.

    There has GOT to be some lifting involved. Those wings are not light.

    Ima put myself out there so please don't jump on me for it :flowerforyou:

    I'm an aspiring model so those girls are people I look up to in a way. I've done some research on their measurements and agencies, and to be honest I'm pretty damn close! Besides the bust, I'm right there with them and I'm very thankful for that. I aim to eat between 1400 and 1600 calories a day, work out 4-6 days a week, and I've recently made a switch from cardio-focused workouts to strength training. Common sense goes a long way. Small portions, minimal if any sweets and pop, and an overall awareness of how you're taking care of yourself. Putting bad things in your body will make you look bad. It's not rocket science.

    Anyway, I don't say this to brag or shove it in people's faces. But I hope this helps:) Those girls aren't aliens or some unattainable size, it can be done!

    Creeper FRs incoming!

    if I had to take a stab in the dark, I'd say:

    -How many calories a day do you think a Victoria secret model eats? probably more than 1200

    -Do you think they lift weights or do tons of cardio? not a ton of either, but equal parts

    -How many days per week do you think they exercise? 3-5


    of course, my answers are based on the one from about 15 years back, i.e. Laetitia Casta... hot hot hot!!

    QFT

    No amount of pilates will make you look like a VS model if the genetics just aren't there. You'll be much happier if you just aim to be the healthiest, fittest YOU that you can be.

    ^^ like she said. Genes, strict diet, and exercise. I'd just add that I bet they do weights too.

    You can not photoshop a runway show. And as already mentioned I think it is mostly genetics with some exercise in there I doubt they are obsessed with exercise I imagine they do enough to maintain their physique. Try to be the best you. :smile:

    You actually can photoshop a runway show, if it isn't a live broadcast. If I'm not mistaken, the VS runway show is actually aired a few days after it is taped...which leaves several days for photoshopping. I have no idea what (if any) photoshopping they do, just saying it is possible.

    It's their job to look pretty and skinny. Like I have to do preparation and aftercare for my work as a teacher, they have to do whatever it takes to be able to do their job. I guess their best friend is their plastic surgeon.

    You can not if you are sitting there and VS does do a live show once a year. Unless in that little live delay they are tweaking the girls.

    HEY. Pickle jars are HARD.

    You tap it on the counter first. I've never met a pickle jar I couldn't beat. ... Unless I just felt like making the bf feel strong after I loosened it a bit.

    Pickle jars require grip strength.

    Genetics plays a small role. Genetics will say if you have a thin or a thicker waist under that fat. Genetics will tell you the size of your hip bones or where you will retail fat the most. Gentics will tell you your height. Most VS models are ~5'!0". In Heels they're like 6'2".

    Gentetics shouldn't be an excuse to think a certain look in unobtainable. Yes, all they do is restrict eating and work with trainers, but it's their job to be paid to look good. People tell them what and how to eat in order to make measurements. Much like professional fitness models are paid for their physique.

    VS models are usually on the tall end. Fitness models can be any height really.

    They probably eat 1300 calories a day and do not eat any refined carbohydrate and stay away from much fruit.

    I would say 50% is photoshop

    Wear gloves and use a gun that doesn't have serial number on it. Try to come up with a good alibi or cover story ahead of time too. It helps if you can pretend you were out of state and of course don't be seen near the crime scene.

    I've actually stumbled across a few of their workout routines on the internet, including sample daily meal plans, and I honestly can't remember what all was entailed - I just knew I wasn't interested. I know it was a mixture of cardio and strength training, but not heavy lifting by any means.

    I agree with Bean on the principal ideal of doing what works best for your body. For me it's been very trial and error, especially in the food department, but that has to do with a digestive issue I have. It's good to have goals that YOU and YOUR BODY can reach, rather than comparing yourself to someone else. (:

    If you're really interested, I'm sure a quick google search would get you your answer.

    Im willing to bet that the VS Models are just like everyone else here on MFP. Superficially they might appear the same, but I am sure each has their own needs, wants, and likes and therefore different things work for different people. Ill take a stab in the dark here but I am guessing that in order for them to stay thin they eat about the same amount of calories they burn.

    -How many calories a day do you think a Victoria secret model eats? as much as they burn

    -Do you think they lift weights or do tons of cardio? either one as long as it burns calories

    -How many days per week do you think they exercise? as needed, depending on how much they have eaten

    Is this really that complicated?

    If you can make it look like an accident, even better.
