CANDICE SWANEPOEL DIET
SHE PRIORITIZES A HEALTHY, FILLING BREAKFAST
Candice likes to load up at breakfast. In fact, she prefers that she eats the most in the morning and the least in the evening. She says this helps her metabolism, and having larger meals earlier prevents her from wanting to snack later on.
Candice likes to have a bigger breakfast and often goes for bacon and eggs, or a healthy smoothie with fruit, with healthy fats from coconut oil or flaxseed, and some type of nut ʙuттer. She tries to make sure her body is getting enough antioxidants from strawberries or blueberries.
Candice also says that the smoothie gives her a natural, caffeine-free energy boost. Even though she likes coffee, she said that drinking decaf in the morning helped restart her energy levels.
She likes to change it up depending on her mood and what her body needs.
AND WHAT ABOUT LUNCH AND DINNER
When it comes to lunch and dinner, Candice has just one rule. Eat something filling for lunch like grilled chicken with brown rice and veggies and stick with something lighter for dinner, like a fresh salad or soup. This is actually good for your metabolism and it’s great if you plan on doing some fasted cardio in the morning.
CANDICE LISTENS TO HER BODY
Candice works out a lot, which helps boosts her metabolism. However, she also admits that she was born with a fast metabolism and is able to eat a lot without much weight gain.
Instead of tracking calories or being overly cautious with what she eats, she tries to listen to what her body needs and eats intuitively. She said she’s always been in tune with her body, so she’s comfortable adjusting her diet to her lifestyle.
CANDICE’S BODY TYPE
We should all be in tune with our bodies, but not everybody is blessed with a fast metabolism. Candice is an ectomorph, which means that she naturally has a lower body weight and she finds it hard to build muscle or gain fat.
Women with different body types, (mesomorphs and endomorphs), will need to eat and work out differently. If you don’t know your body type, you can take my FREE Body Type quiz.
CANDICE’S DIET BEFORE A VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW
Even though Candice likes to have a balanced diet and isn’t too strict, but she does buckle down on her diet before a fashion show. She doesn’t cut out any food groups, but she does make sure that everything is fresh and full of nutrients.
Before the show, she does drink coffee! After all, she has to balance having two children and preparing for the show.
CANDICE SWANEPOEL WORKOUT ROUTINE
Candice usually trains 3 times per week if she’s not preparaing for an especially important show or shoot. She says that she does a mixture of cardio and resistance training.
Every good workout routine should include both cardio workouts and resistance workouts. Cardio is great for your heart and general health. It also helps you burn a lot of calories and it helps you stay slim.
Resistance workouts help you get toned. If you do the right kind of resistance workouts, you won’t get bulky. Instead, you’ll be able to create a toned look and avoid the skinny fat look.
Here’s one of my favourite full body resistance workouts for a lean body.
Before a show, Candice works with her trainer almost every day. She wants her entire body to look good, but she is extra cautious to make sure that her lower body – ʙuтт, thighs, and hips are toned 🙂
