Achieving "Model Skinny" Body Types
📌 The ability to attain and maintain an extremely thin physique often requires significantly reduced caloric intake compared to the average person (estimated at 3,000 calories in the US).
👩‍🏫 There are different models: "rail thin" fashion models (often very androgynous) and healthier-looking models like the former Victoria's Secret types who require some definition from light working out.
⚖️ The difference between "naturally skinny" people and others often lies in lower natural food drive/addiction to food, not necessarily a much higher metabolism.

Dietary Habits of Thin Individuals
📌 Many naturally thin individuals eat what they perceive as "whatever they want," but their portion sizes are much smaller than what is considered a large portion by others (e.g., one slice of pizza vs. a whole pizza).
🗓️ Many models exhibit sporadic eating habits, often fasting or eating only once per day, sometimes unintentionally due to busy schedules or financial constraints in early career stages.
🥗 Examples like Candace Swanepoel show that maintaining thinness often involves eating low-calorie, healthy foods primarily, even if treats (like a few fries) are included.

Weight Loss Strategies and Risks
📌 Achieving a very skinny look, especially quickly for a photoshoot, usually comes down to a caloric deficit, which can sometimes involve extreme measures like crash dieting or fasting (e.g., only water or coffee).
⚠️ Going down a "bad route" through severe caloric restriction can lead to unhealthy habits or conditions, which the speaker experienced personally when she reached 105 lbs.
🏋️ For models aiming for muscle tone (like Victoria's Secret types), workouts involve consistent effort, cardio, and bodyweight routines, contrasting with extremely thin models who rely more heavily on diet.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Intentionality is key if you are not naturally thin; maintaining a lower weight requires consistent attention to what and how much you eat until it becomes a habit.
➡️ Focus on high-volume, low-calorie foods like vegetables and fruits to promote satiety while managing intake, as observed in successful weight management approaches.
➡️ Be realistic about body type; aiming for a physique vastly different from your natural frame (e.g., 5'2" aiming for a 6' model's look) may lead to misery and is likely unsustainable.
➡️ The myth of the "naturally skinny" person needs challenging; for most, staying very thin is a result of subconsciously or consciously eating less overall.
