Swedish model, Kelly Gale, is recognized through her work with big names in the industry like Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret. Showing off her poolside fashion, she said “slow mornings by the pool☀️🌴,” on a series of photos on Instagram. Here’s how Kelly stays in such great shape.
She Eats Healthy
She focuses on making healthy choices. “I eat very healthy all year round,” Kelly said to Vogue referring to her diet leading up to the 2017 Victoria's Secret show. “Cooking healthy, nutritious and delicious meals is one of my biggest passions so eating “healthy” for me isn’t 'eating healthy', it's just eating.” She continues on, saying “I’ve never actually known anything other than nutritious foods. I’ve grown up with a mother who is a doctor, dentist and cancer researcher who also happens to be an amazing cook. While I was growing up she always made me and my brothers healthy meals similar to what I eat today.”
She Cracks Down
She Eats HealthyKelly Gale/InstagramWhen she needs to, she becomes strict with her diet. “Four weeks before the show I like to kick it in high gear, which for me means cutting out sodium. I try to stay away from all kinds of sugars except for the sugars I get from the berries in my breakfast and coconut sugar from the occasional raw vegan chocolate bar that I eat,” she said to Vogue.
She Stays Hydrated
She stays hydrated, beginning her day with a concoction before she exercises. The “morning tonic is cold water mixed with 2 tablespoons [of] apple cider vinegar, juice of 1 lemon, cayenne and cinnamon. Then I’ll go for my workout,” she said to Vogue. “After that I’ll have my daily green juice as well with some fresh berries for breakfast.”
She Focuses On Protein
She Focuses On ProteinKelly Gale/InstagramShe prioritizes getting plenty of protein into her diet. “My lunch and dinner meals before the show include lots of vegetables and lean protein such as shrimps, scallops, egg whites, turkey breast and white fish,” she said to Vogue. “Dinner might be raw vegan Pad Thai. I make a great oil free cauliflower stir fry as well.” According to Piedmont, there are quite a few reasons why you should prioritize factoring enough protein into your diet, including digestion. “About half the dietary protein you consume each day is used to make enzymes, which aid in digesting food and making new cells and body chemicals.”
She Prioritizes Mental and Physical Health
Both mental and physical health is important to her. “Resistance bands, gliders, ankle weights and jump rope. Using the jump rope for cardio intervals during a session of pilates is my favourite,” she said to Vogue. She also takes the time needed to improve her mental well being. “I meditate every morning, every evening and basically any time of the day when I feel like I need it. If I’m out walking I might do a 30 minute walking meditation.”
