Finally, someone has owned up to the fact that all models aren’t naturally rail thin. Believe it or not, they actually diet.  A male model, rising in the industry, confessed that he eats, maybe twice a day.  He’s has lost 30 pounds for his career, and it is paying off with bookings from the major fashion houses.  We’re all use to the chatter about female models being underweight, but rarely do we hear about the male models.  I guess diet is an equal opportunity tormentor.  We’ve all been there, the temptations and the hunger pains.  You can’t help, but to root for this guy because his honesty is so refreshing.  ‘Diet’ is that four letter word many of us struggle with from time to time.  Do I feel better knowing the genetically gifted have to watch what they eat too?  No.  I’m too hungry.
