You see them every time you're in line at the grocery store. A different model every month on the cover of the various women's fitness magazines, promoting butt toning, thigh slimming, ab flattening and arm shaping workout and nutrition programs they probably don't even do! Is this any surprise? Not really. Their job is too promote fitness products, just as a fashion model promotes clothing they didn't make and will probably never wear.
That doesn't mean these fitness models don't workout and eat well to get their lean, sexy body. A fashion model may get away with low calorie dieting and not exercising, but to get the look of a fitness model, you have to put some serious effort into your training and dieting. Here are a few pointers:

Stay hydrated! This is clearly the oldest trick in the book, and for good reason. All our cells are made of water, including those for fat metabolism. Guess how well theyfunction when we're dehydrated. Additionally, we need water to keep us from retaining water, as well as to flush out toxins that form cellulite around our butt and thighs. The absolute best way to start your day is to drink two glasses of clean water as soon as you wake up and finish it off with a good breakfast. This will replenish the water you lost while you were sleeping (your body does a surprising amount of work while you think you're at rest) and rev up your metabolism.
Eat a lean protein, high fiber fruit and vegetable with every meal. Save complex carbs for right after you workout. You should be aiming to have a small, complete meal every 3 hours. This should consist of about 4-5 ounces of a lean protein source, a serving of high fiber/low sugar fruit and about 1 cup of vegetables (preferably green). Fat should be around 10 grams. If your protein source does not contain this much fat, be sure and supplement by eating a handful of raw nuts or a teaspoon or so of coconut oil or ground flax so that you're not hungry again in an hour.
