This is true, but I've heard people talk like that at the gym,
and in the office, and all over the place. I've heard wise young
women in their late teens say my exact quote: "I can just eat
and eat and eat and not get fat. I'm just lucky that way..." etc.

What they dont realize is that they are cramming their insides
with fat, and it WILL show up on the outside.

am i the only one who realy thinks models should stick to what they are good at (i.e. being vapid and impossibly goodlooking thus making the normal population feel miserable and inadaquate). I think (altho she is right) she should not comment on the unhealthy lifestyle other models who are not as lucky as her in the gene department have to adopt to stay in work. If she's so concerned ova their health maybe she should quit then other "less fortunate " models would not have to starve to live up to models like giesels impossible thiness. Also i for one would rather hear that models have to starve and so a huge amount of drugs to stay that thin I know im mean but it makes me feel a whole lot betta. Coz i just know these models would love to have the kinda food i eat and enoy very much and i would be incredibly miserable if i was always hungry. For me it would never be worth it.

Easy to eat all you want without getting fatter - you've just to vomit afterwards.

What the models do is stuff themselves with Kleenex (no, really). That way they feel full, but don't gain any weight because it just passes through the body. They fashion designers know they have to provide boxes full of Kleenex backstage before a runway show, so the models have something to "snack" on.

"They get their exercise naturally, by dancing and having sex. "

oh man... here comes the stereotype. people should really stop believing we all love samba and dance like that all the time. I hate samba and that kind of dance just happens during february and it's general to women that can't work with their brains for a living. I really don't know why this is such a big thing in other countries, while in here is totally overreated. and I live in Rio de Janeiro.

and the sex thing is totally stereotype as well. "latino=hot", oh please...

no, the girls excercise a LOT and do a lot of plastic surgeries.

btw, we dance as much as other cultures. as an entertainment.

I was JOKING! I was being FACETIOUS! Thank God at least one other poster (OurManInBusan) figured that out...

I am fully aware that Brazil is at the top of the list for plastic surgery. So, yeah, I'm aware that many, many women are extremely (maybe even obsessively) body-conscious. I do stand corrected about the "fitness craze" to which I referred, but I didn't say it to imply the women don't care about how they look because they do! A LOT!

And when I talked about Brazilian women enjoying their food (again, I was being facetious), I didn't mean they're fat. I simply meant: THEY ENJOY THEIR FOOD. I meant they're not counting calories and running away from carbs, etc., like a lot of American women do. But, as I have never spent time in Brazil, I was only joking. And actually, it was meant to be a dig at American women!

Hopefully, this is the last time I will feel the need to post in this thread because it is becoming tedious.

1. Giselle is a model.
2. Giselle is svelte.
3. Giselle claims she doesn't have to worry about what she eats.
4. Giselle suggests models stop starving themselves to get work.
So far, I don't see what the big deal is. Models SHOULDN'T starve themselves to get work. If you have to starve yourself to be a size 0, then you shouldn't be a model. And the modelling industry should use people who practice a healthy lifestyle (but we know that'll never happen). Because, the sad thing is, many young, immature girls (and fucked-in-the-head women) aspire to these supermodel body types (the kind you see in Vogue, not the Sears catalog). And what they don't realize is: they will never have the time and money to devote to obtaining that "perfect figure" the supermodels have.

5. Some of you say Giselle is full of shit.
How do you know? Do you live with her? Are you a close, personal friend or family member? Because those are the only people who KNOW what's happening in a celebrity's life. As much as we on this board THINK we know what's going on, we don't. We just sit around and speculate.

3. Giselle claims she doesn't have to worry about what she eats.
Let's revisit this point for a moment: I have a 25 yr old female friend. She eats what she wants when she wants, and she doesn't go to the gym. And yet, she has a hot, TIGHT body to die for! She's drop-dead gorgeous. Now, when I say "she eats what she wants when she wants," I'm not implying she eats junk food all day and all night. She simply doesn't deny herself a piece of cheesecake at midnite if she wants it. So are you Giselle haters gonna now say I'M full of shit???

6. A specific poster states that Giselle is outside the normal body weight.
I am not willing to concede this point, because what's normal for her may not be normal for someone else. I say: A normal body weight is relative. Some people have a heavy normal body weight, and others are lighter. It's all dependent on: genes, daily activity, personal habits, etc. So, yeah, Giselle might be at her normal body weight. I refuse to agree or disagree because I do not know her. I don't know what her habits are, and I'm not her doctor, so I've never done any blood work on her.

7. PacificBreeze was right.
Giselle's in her 20s. Her body will significantly change over the next 10 years. Perhaps then she will be singing a different tune. For now, she can say whatever the hell she wants to say. Personally, I like it when people speak their mind. It lets me know up front what kind of person they are and whether I'd like to be around them. In other words, I like it when people say stupid things because it lets me know they're stupid. (That isn't to say that I think what Giselle said is stupid, obviously!)


So there. I think I've said all that I intended to say, and I think I've responded to all that I intended to respond. Lest we forget, this was the original post. And I still don't see what all the damn fuss was about!

"Gisele Bundchen has slammed super-skinny models who don't eat to stay
svelte.The stunning supermodel warned her colleagues shouldn't jeopardise their
health by starving to keep their looks.

The Brazilian beauty told TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "It's important to remember that if you don't put gas in your car, it's going to stop. Similarly, if I don't put food in my body, I'm going to die.

"I eat whatever there is to eat because I don't want to faint on the
runway"."

I don't know you personally, so if you're going to joke around in the forum, expect me and other users think it's serious. it's not about not getting your "clever joke", it's just that reading is already hard enough to understand the tone of your sentences, not knowing you is even harder.

and I do say again as well: there IS a fitness crazy going on over here. women here DO count their calories and run away from carbs. I say as much as American women (btw, I did spent time in the USA, for about a year). my sister had baby food fo diner for more than a year just to lose weight, for fuck's sake! there are some crazy diets going on here. here's Brazil: half the women count calories, the other half just pray to have something to eat. it's sad both ways.

but of course now you're gonna tell me that you were only kidding. at least the quote about women losing their weight due to dance and sex made me indeed laugh a lot.

Are you serious?!?!?!?!? Isn't there like bleach and stuff in it? How do you swallow that? YUCK! Why not just take fiber pills?

You don't have to know a poster to know when they're joking. Sometimes it's obvious, other times it isn't. I refuse to use any kind of humor-killing disclaimers such as "THE FOLLOWING IS A JOKE" or whatever. Not my fault if something goes over your head.

And didn't I already agree with you that Brazilian women are extremely body-conscious?? Did you read my post at all?? Why are you harping on this point?? Allow me to clarify for you specifically, Stardust: fitness craze = body-conscious, because to be body-conscious is to be overly aware of your body, all its sags, wrinkles and bulges. Maybe that's a new term to you?

[SVZ]

I just saw bulges.

BULGES!!!




You can use the emoticon to indicate it's a joke, that's what I do.

I'm sure you would notice the 5lb.

[SVZ]

Eew...that's grossly thin

Just another thing though, she never mentioned WHAT she eats, just that she eats whatever's available. That could be like...celery and metamuil for all we know.

[WickedHo]

^^ Is that Giselle?? When was that photo taken? How soon before or after her comment??

So far, I don't see what the big deal is. [/i]

the big deal is that gisele saying THAT implies that she lives a healthy life, which is absolutely not true. any doctor you ask will say that her body mass is very low and considered unhealthy. so, she is a fucking hypocrite, because healthy, oh god, she is not. and she is leading millions of women to this unreacheble target.

5. Some of you say Giselle is full of shit.
How do you know? Do you live with her? Are you a close, personal friend or family member? Because those are the only people who KNOW what's happening in a celebrity's life. As much as we on this board THINK we know what's going on, we don't. We just sit around and speculate.

so why are you defending her so much if you don't know what's going on either?

3. Giselle claims she doesn't have to worry about what she eats.
Let's revisit this point for a moment: I have a 25 yr old female friend. She eats what she wants when she wants, and she doesn't go to the gym. And yet, she has a hot, TIGHT body to die for! She's drop-dead gorgeous. Now, when I say "she eats what she wants when she wants," I'm not implying she eats junk food all day and all night. She simply doesn't deny herself a piece of cheesecake at midnite if she wants it. So are you Giselle haters gonna now say I'M full of shit???

I say that when gisele says "I eat as much as I can and don't get fat" you think this girl eats as a cow because that's just what normal people do: eat a lot and exactly what makes you gain weight. your friend described above doesn't seem to be eating as a cow. she seems to not have a big drive to eat, so surely she can eat whatever she wants. I believe that from experience because I am such a pain to eat. I don't like eating, I don't see any pleasure in that, to me is a waste of time. But for someone that enjoy eating, I think the person will eat a lot and naturally gain weight. I don't mean she gains a lot, I mean some weight to make you skip diner or to make some exercise during the week. therefore if she is like your friend, her correct statement should be "I eat whatever I want and don't get fat, but I don't like/feel the need to eat a lot". it's the way she is trying to portrait herself that it's the matter of discussion here, not if she eats as a pig.

6. A specific poster states that Giselle is outside the normal body weight.
I am not willing to concede this point, because what's normal for her may not be normal for someone else. I say: A normal body weight is relative. Some people have a heavy normal body weight, and others are lighter. It's all dependent on: genes, daily activity, personal habits, etc. So, yeah, Giselle might be at her normal body weight. I refuse to agree or disagree because I do not know her. I don't know what her habits are, and I'm not her doctor, so I've never done any blood work on her.

well, that is strange because DOCTORS say that if the person is outside the normal body weight, she/he is are unhealthy. It doesn't mean that the person is in a bed dying, just that is not healthy. take a smoker for an example.

And I still don't see what all the damn fuss was about!

last time I checked this was a forum and we were just exchanging opinions and thoughts.

I still say she is full of shit and that she does has her secret diet as ALL women do. I'm not saying that she would be super-ultra-fat, but that she may skip a meal, or do some exercising, vomiting, coke, (insert the one you would like).... she is a public person, owns loads of money, dates gorgeous men (just not her last one ) , so WHY THE HELL can we talk about her life? come on....

gosh, it wasn't aimed at you, now I have to come with disclaimers? I was just emphasizing my point, don't take things so seriously.

that last one was last year or the begining of this year, I think when they were in a florest here in Brazil. the first two ones I don't know.

but she is claiming she eats aything she wants for a long time.

oh yeah.... and if you consider that she stays most of her life in backstage catwalks which has no food or little of it, than yeah, she surely eats whatever she wants.
