Kate Upton curvy body image


Cute model Kate Upton makes the cover of American Vogue, where she was declared the 'Hottest Supermodel on Earth'. In the interview Upton says, "The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great." Kate was responding to news bits about her body image coming across as 'porky' or 'fat'. Upton's supporters says that her body is simply curvy and beautiful.

Kate Upton will turn 21 in June and has been modelling since she was 15. With her curvy body Kate has mostly done lingerie and swimsuit modelling. She became popular as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, and got their cover twice in a row for 2012 and 2013. Kate Upton told GQ, "I grew up in Florida riding horses, so the majority of my life I was either in boots or a bathing suit. I understand why my male followers like me ..."

In the right photo Kate Upton lifts her bust, arches her back, and sticks out her bum, slimming down her waist visually. People looked at her runway photos and termed her fat. With her curvy body image, and her confidence, Kate got a good female following and she tells British Vogue: "I never imagined that I would be in a position to be a role model. I just focused on being healthy and being the best that I could be. I'm happy to be seen as a good example. If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing."

Kate Upton is 5'10" tall, a natural brunette, and has body measurements of 33-25-36....based on her early model profile as a teenager.

Kate's body has bloomed into womanly curves, and her face has filled out, after she turned 18. As of now Kate Upton has body measurements of 34D-25-36, which means she developed a generous cleavage while maintaining her curvy bottom.

Upton told the NY Mag: "I came from a family that was all around sports, so for modeling I went to Sports Illustrated, because that’s what was in my house. We didn’t have fashion magazines lying around. I didn’t grow up in a big city, so I just wasn’t aware of it." And on body image issues Kate Upton tells the mag: "It's really motivating to know that I'm helping people look at their life in a healthy way, just by living my life by example. For girls there’s always pressure. Even if I was in college, or if I was doing a different job. Anywhere in life, for girls there’s pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good."

Kate Upton diet and fitness

Kate Upton had told the NY Mag in 2011 that she never tried crash diets because: "My schedule just doesn't allow it. I never know where I'm coming from, or what's happening, or how long the plane ride will be. I always try and work out and eat healthy throughout my life so I don't have to do anything drastic before shoots." Upton is still too young to drink alcohol legally!



But before her second Sports Illustrated cover, Kate Upton decided that she needed to tighten up her body a little and hired celebrity trainer David Kirsch. Kate told Vogue that David changed her diet, cutting out junk food and red meat, increasing the veggies and adding chicken and fish. Growing up on a ranch, Kate Upton rode horses and was into sports, and for her exercise program David Kirsch told the NY Mag: "We did a lot of boxing, kick boxing, and stability ball work. We also did a lot of interval training, like wind sprints on the treadmill and outside....She's got curves. There was no way I was going to 'uncurve' her. At the end of the day, the objective was not to look like a runway model, but tighten up what she's got to look as amazing as she can."

Ana Beatriz Barros smoking detox



Gorgeous Brazilian model, Ana Beatriz Barros, has announced that she has given up smoking because it was making her skin dull and her hair lifeless. Barros told Saúde Plena, "I stopped smoking for more than 25 days, after 12 years. For this, I went to a medical spa in Paraná to do a smokefree detox, with exercises, massages, meals every three hours." 30 year old Ana Beatriz also talked of new beauty treatments: "Drink lots of water, work out at least 4 times a week for 1 hour, use sunscreen, use a good moisturizer and remove makeup before bed time. I use the makeup remover from Bioderma. I also use an anti-aging cream from Chanel: Sublimage."

In the May 2013 issue of L'Officiel Brazil, Ana Beatriz said, "I spent ten days in Lapinha Spa, and it was then that I could, indeed, quit smoking. I was already cutting down, but the spa made my body a real detox. I needed to quit smoking for my health and glowing skin. My skin has changed already! I have more energy. I want to always be well and healthy. Cigarettes are no good for lving a long life."



Ana Beatriz Barros is a rich girl, with more than a decade of modeling work, and says that she intends to marry soon and have children. Ana told Saúde Plena: "I intend to marry, have children, have my beauty clinic along with my sister - who is a dermatologist - and create my clothing label."

Rachel McAdams fitness and diet



Rachel McAdams in GQ France. The talented actress is known for iconic movies like Mean Girls and The Notebook, among a host of comedies, dramas, romance, and thrillers. McAdams told Vogue that her mother never forced her to adopt any beauty regimen. When Rachel was teased in high school for not shaving her legs and asked her mom about it, she replied: "Once you start, there's no turning back." She may have been naïve about beauty treatments, but Rachel McAdams took care of her fitness by staying active and playing sport from a young age.



5'5" tall Rachel McAdams, barefoot in the grass playing badminton for Life magazine. She told the National Post: "I was a jockette. I played volleyball and badminton and soccer. I guess I was a little nerdy, too. I was 18 before I went to my first party." And in an interview with Radio Free Entertainment, McAdams said: "I figure skated. That was my main sport. And I loved gymnastics and things like that. And then I played soccer and volleyball and badminton in school.....I just loved sports. That's what [we] did in my town. If you were a girl, you figure skated. If you were a boy, you played hockey."

Rachel McAdams continued figure skating till the age of 18, winning regional competitions, and says that this discipline helped her as an actress, preparing her to be in tune with her body. And all the sport and fitness helped keep McAdams looking young and getting teen roles when in her mid-20s. Rachel told the Collider: "Nobody believes me as a 16-year-old anymore. I was 25 playing 16 and they're like ‘forget it, honey. It's over.' I think that Mean Girls stood out to me to be a very smart satire on teenage life."



Rachel McAdams takes her yoga mat to her Lexus CT 200h hybrid car. Rachel McAdams owns a red Mini Cooper and hires such hybrid cars other times. She has been devoted to yoga for some time and told Vogue that she does Kundalini Yoga nearly every morning.



Rachel McAdams is Eco-friendly and loves riding her bike. It helps Rachel get around her native Toronto, takes care of her fitness, and helps save the planet. Even her diet is environmentally friendly. McAdams had told Self magazine that she eats organic food and supports organic farms. She tried experimenting with a vegetarian diet but told Glamour last year: "I was vegetarian once, but it made me very tired. I just ate pasta — I was the most unhealthy vegetarian ever! I'd like to try it again now that I know about quinoa and bulgur. I think I'd be better the second time around."



Hearing of Rachel McAdams interest in a vegetarian diet, animal rights activists at PETA sent her cookbooks like "The Conscious Cook" and "The Kind Diet," together with "a vegetarian starter kit and other fun goodies." If that doesn't work, Rachel McAdams can always follow the flexitarian diet: mostly vegetarian with the occasional consumption of animal flesh. Most people in the world are flexitarians by habit.
