Diet

In recent years, Naomi Campbell has focused more on her diet and the things she puts into her body. She has completely ditched her bad habits such as smoking and drinking. She eats one meal a day and focuses on clean eating.

What Is OMAD?

OMAD is a form of intermittent fasting. People who opt for OMAD fast for around 22-24 hours (can vary) and only eat once a day. This diet is controversial in the eyes of health experts. There are both positive and negative aspects of this diet.

Benefits:

• reduces LDL
• can improves digestion (takes pressure of the digestive system and gives the gallbladder, stomach, pancreas and large bowel time to rest)
• can boost the immune system
• can increases autophogy (deamged cell parts are recycled into new tissues
• can promote longevity
• can function as an antiaging tool
• can imporove overall skin health
• can decrease inflammatory conditions (inflammation related to blood sugar levels)
• can decreases blood sugar levels
• can imporves diabetes
• can help fixing a fatty liver
• can boost mental clarity

Although this diet offers health benefits, it is important to note that not everyone can follow this diet (e.g. pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding, or those with eating disorders). It is recommended to try other forms of intermittent fasting first and not jump straight to this diet. Everything you need to know about the risks of this diet can be found here.

It is important to eat nutrient-rich foods on this diet. In other words, foods that keep you full for longer and provide your body with important vitamins and minerals.

What Is Clean Eating?

Clean eating essentially means eating food as close to its natural state as possible. This means leaving out ultra processed foods. People who eat clean focus on fresh vegetables and fruit, lean proteins, whole grains (many people avoid wheat products containing gluten) as well as healthy fats. Clean eating is adopted by most models.

Naomis Diet

Naomi usually starts her day with lukewarm water with lemon and probiotics. She is not a coffee drinker, as she has stated several times that she doesn’t like coffee. She is more of a tea drinker. Her favorite teas are herbal teas like chamomile and mint.

She usually drinks 2 to 3 green smoothies a day. The supermodel believes that these smoothies are responsible for her smooth skin. Naomi also drinks as much water as possible and is very strict when it comes to staying hydrated throughout the day.

Naomi prefers to have a big lunch instead of a big dinner. Even before switching to the OMAD diet, she didn’t like eating heavy meals for dinner. She likes to eat seitan with vegetables for lunch. When she eats out, she prefers to choose dishes off the menu as she prefers to get a unique meal as she knows the chefs will make more of an effort. It is therefore all the less surprising that she seasons her food not only with salt and pepper but also with many other spices. She often brings these spices with her wherever she goes.

She is rigorous when it comes to avoiding eating on airplanes. If she flies privately and brings her chefs with her, she also eats during the flight, otherwise, it’s a big no-no for Campell.

The London-born supermodel avoids several foods, including:

• foods containg sugar
• foods containing gluten
• foods containing dairy
• meat (she went vegetarian a few years back)
• caffeine (exept for green tea)
• chocolate

10 Beauty Secrets

Naomi Campbell looks better than ever and has managed to look flawless over the years. She shares her beauty tips in various interviews. Let’s take a look at them together:

1. Warm Water With Lemon Juice

Naomi likes to drink warm water with lemon juice in the morning. She never drinks cold water as she believes it shocks the body. She keeps the water she drinks at room temperature.

2. Green Juice And Aloe Vera Juice For Breakfast

Campell explained in an interview that green juice is the breakfast of champions for her. She adds green powder to vegetables such as celery, cucumber and kale. She also adds a little pepper.

The supermodel also drinks a glass of aloe vera juice straight after her green smoothie. Campell stays away from the normal orange juice trend for breakfast.

3. Zinc Spray And Microneedle Roller

Before applying her daily makeup, she sprays her face with a zinc spray and a gentle toner, using a microneedle roller.

She uses the microneedle roller to ensure her skin is ready to absorb the serum she applies next. The microneedle roller also encourages the skin to produce more collagen.

Collagen improves the overall density of the skin, making fine lines and wrinkles disappear and acne scars fade faster.

4. Moistruice And Vitamins For The Skin

Naomi likes her skin to glow and shine. That’s why she has always followed her mother’s advice and moisturized her skin as much as possible.

Even before she started modeling, she applied moisturizer and made sure her skin didn’t look dull or feel dry. This is her favorite product.

She also uses a drop of vitamin E, a drop of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C powder on her face and neck along with her moisturizer.

5. Go Makeup Free More Often

Naomi doesn’t wear make-up if she doesn’t have to, because she knows that make-up can clog pores and penetrate the skin. She is also very strict when it comes to taking her make-up off before going to bed.

6. Makeup Routine

In the video below you will find her whole make-up routine.

7. Less Is More

Naomi is very clear when it comes to the rule and the popular saying less is more. She no longer overdoes it with her make-up, but keeps it simple. She applies the same rule when it comes to fashion. Her motto is to keep the style simple.

8. Tape Instead Of Facelift

Campell told Vogue that she would never do a face lift. Instead she tapes her face to keep it from sagging.

9. Cleaning 2 Times A day

Naomi cleanses her body twice a day and then moisturizes it. She said she has been doing this since she was a child and learned it from her mother. She uses baby soap instead of aggressive and high-dose shower gels.

10. Face Mask

She uses face masks, cream masks, sheet masks and paper masks. The English supermodel swears by face masks. She uses two face masks every day. One in the morning before she gets ready for the day and one in the evening.

Sometimes she leaves one mask on during the day. For the night mask, she usually chooses a cream-based mask with watermelon and 2.5% AHA complex.
