In an industry where a diet of Champagne and cigarettes is the norm backstage at a fashion show, there is increasing pressure to respond to a wave of dangerously thin models who have set the aesthetic standards of global fashion.

Healthy modeling is key to a lengthy career in the modeling industry.  You must take care of yourself physically and mentally in order to function in front of a lens for several hours or strut down a catwalk without stumbling.  It's very simple, the better you care for yourself, the better you will be as a model and a person.  As a rule, I make my models eat before shoots and sometimes afterward if the shoot takes several hours.  Personally, having a model eat healthy and avoid starving themselves are noticeably better in front of the lens.

Not eating before a shoot makes you cranky and tired.  Eating before a shoot does not make you look fat!
