Gisele Bundchen’s Diet Secrets: Her Meal, Nutrition Plan

Gisele Bündchen has flaunted her fabulous figure during her career as a supermodel and her body seems to get better with age. The former Victoria’s Secret angel has become one with the world over the years and manages her diet around organic and natural nutrition.

“I’m feeling so much better at 43 than at 23,” Gisele admitted in September 2023 while speaking on a panel at a Gaia Herb event, a supplement brand whom she partnered with.

The Rio Grande do Sul native’s diet is mostly made up of plant-based foods, although she adds minimal non-shellfish protein in her meals for fuel. What’s the one thing Gisele never consumes? White sugar.

“To me, white sugar means poison,” she told The Wall Street Journal in a feature story published in March 2024. “There’s so many other ways you can sweeten your things that are delicious. Honey, maple syrup, dates.”

Making a Change

Gisele opened up about her health and wellness journey during a February 2023 Harper’s Bazaar cover story. The A-lister shared that her diet in her 20s consisted of cigarettes, pizza and Frappuccinos, which led to her struggles with anxiety.

While trying to ease her struggles with anxiety, Gisele did a complete 180 with her food consumption.

“When Gisele changed her diet, she influenced all of us,” the former NFL wife’s twin sister, Patricia Bündchen, told the outlet. “She is very determined and disciplined with what she sets out to do. She’s intense and passionate. She is constantly experimenting and optimizing her life.”

Sharing Her Clean Eats

Gisele released her cookbook, Nourish, in September 2023 and gave fans a glimpse into the meals she and her kids, Benjamin and Vivian, eat at home!

“People are always asking me what I eat and how I stay fit. Great food is something I am passionate about, and it is vital for living a healthy lifestyle,” she wrote via Instagram ahead of the book’s March 2024 launch. “In Nourish, I share my family’s favorite simple, nutritious, and delicious recipes and some self-care rituals that help me so much in my life especially as a busy, working mom. I am happy that I get to share this cookbook with all of you! Hope you enjoy!”

First Meal of the Day

Gisele, who was married to Tom Brady from 2009 to 2022, starts her morning with meditation and a workout. In September 2023, the Devil Wears Prada actress shared that she doesn’t eat breakfast until after her sunrise sweat session.

“The most important thing for me is to have enough time to move my body every day to meditate,” she told Women’s Health. “If I did more weight training, then I’ll definitely have scrambled eggs or hardboiled eggs because I want to have that protein.”

Liquids Before Solids

Before her morning workout though, Gisele drinks a particular warm beverage to kickstart her day.

“The first thing I do when I wake up is I just have a lukewarm water with lemon squeezed in. It helps wake up your body and your metabolism, and it just kind of gets things started,” she told E! News in 2016.

Zero Food Waste

Though she doesn’t practice overindulgence with food, the model makes sure that no food goes to waste. During her 2016 interview with E!, Gisele shared that she usually eats her kids’ leftovers as her meals.

“As I’m making the breakfasts for my kids, I usually have whatever they don’t eat. I always say being a mom is like eating the rest of everybody’s food. It’s crazy. I stopped making myself big breakfasts because they always leave stuff on their plates,” she told the outlet. “I don’t like wasting food, so I’m cleaning plates.”
