Escanes loves oatmeal with apple and cinnamon as a satiating, any-time-of-the-day snack. Candace O'Neill RD, LDN, says adding cinnamon to oatmeal "can provide that delicious sweetness and really make a meal satisfying and flavorful… It's a good addition to your diet, and it can really be a helpful way to cut back on your intake of added sugars. You can use the sweetness it brings to a recipe to cut the bitterness — or just add a little something to a meal."

Escanes has experienced harsh treatment and judgment in the past as a young model, and says she will never allow it to affect her health and self esteem again. "I really like to eat out, a lot, it is one of the best pleasures," she says. "I enjoy it very much. I would eat at all hours."

Learning From Experience

Escanes embraces even difficult experiences as a period of mental and emotional growth. "The most difficult situations lead you to change your life and a separation is a turning point," she says. "I had plans for the future and an idea of ​​how my life was going to be. All of that breaks and you have to adapt. With distance you learn to relativize things, although in my case it is still recent. You learn from everything."
