Elle Macpherson, supermodel, entrepreneur and mother of two, says she has to exercise a lot to keep her figure, because she loves food so much.
“I enjoy eating too much to give up on my favourite foods,” she said, according to Bigpond News. “I’m naturally the curvy type and I’m more concerned with feeling fit and healthy than looking super slim.”
The 47-year-old is known for her outdoor lifestyle which helps keep her in shape. “But I stay active with things like water skiing and horse riding and I guess that keeps the weight off,” she said.
With two growing boys to look after, Arpad, 12, and Aurelius, 7, Macpherson creates a weekly family menu and snacks on the leftovers.
“So that'll be a bit of chicken from Wednesday night’s dinner, steak from Thursday night, fish from Friday, and so on,” she said, according to Newsmail.
[SUBHED] Australia’s Obesity Problem
In 2008 Australia officially became one of the fattest nations in the world. A study showed 26 percent of Australian adults were obese and nearly 60 percent of the adult population was overweight, according to The Sunday Times.
The report cited lack of exercise and an over-abundance of food, especially food with high fat and sugar content, as the cause of the Australian obesity problem. According to the study, 123,000 of the most overweight people were at risk of an early death over the next 20 years.
This year, a study from Western Australia revealed similar figures for adults, as well as the fact that one in four children are overweight or obese. The results are believed to reflect an increasing national trend in childhood obesity.
In the U.S., actor John Goodman recently made the news for his dramatic weight loss which he achieved through “diet and exercise,” according to his publicist. Goodman is perhaps best known for his part as husband and father Dan in the 1990s TV sitcom “Roseanne”.
