Melania Trump ended her modeling career long ago, but this practically did not affect her figure. The proportions of 48-year-old Mrs. Trump remain ideal, the figure is slim, the body is in good shape. How does the first lady of the United States manage to keep in great shape? First of all, Melania monitors her diet. Yes, these are not the rigid diets that Hollywood stars adhere to, but, nevertheless, Mrs. Trump's willpower should not be underestimated.

The former model is disciplined and always starts her day with a healthy breakfast. Melania told GQ a few years ago, "I usually have a bowl of fiber-fortified oatmeal for breakfast or a nutritious, multi-ingredient, high-vitamin smoothie for breakfast."

The first lady of the United States also tries to eat as many antioxidant-rich fruits as possible, adhering to the popular Fruit Goals system. Melania has something like a personal order: at least five vegetables and fruits a day, and ideally about seven. Beauty experts believe that this rule allows the first lady to maintain not only a toned figure, but also radiant skin. By the way, in one of the interviews, she assured that she did not recognize Botox injections and intended to grow old with dignity, like her mother.

Photographer Matthew Eteinian, who knew Melania at the beginning of her modeling career, recalls that she always strictly observed the rule of "5 or 7 fruits / vegetables", and also tried to drink a lot of water. According to Etainian, in her youth, the fashion model was somewhat "wiry", so it is not surprising that after the birth of Barron's son, Mrs. Trump quickly regained her shape. According to Melania herself, she tried to adhere to a balanced diet and did Pilates several times a week (and in this the lifestyle of Donald Trump's wife is very similar to the habits of another first lady, Brigitte Macron).

It can be assumed that, like most adherents of a healthy diet, Melania categorically refused to eat foods high in sugar. But this is not the case either. Sometimes she gives herself a kind of indulgence.

“I don't have a particularly favorite snack. If I feel like grabbing a bite, it's usually fruit or some chocolate. I think the body needs it too. There is nothing wrong with indulging yourself from time to time - at least as long as you intelligently relate these foods to healthy foods. I would not say that I adhere to any diet. I just love healthy food because it makes me feel energized,”says Mrs Trump.

Moderation and reasonable control of one's weaknesses are apparently one of the main principles of the diet plan of the current mistress of the White House. However, there is a dish that Mrs. Trump can never resist - this is chicken with Italian Parmigianino cheese (Chicken Parmigianino), which is served in New York restaurant Jean Georges. In addition, Melania loves Diet Coke, but only in glass bottles.

According to the old tradition, it is the first lady who oversees the food in the White House, oversees the hiring of a chef or, like Michelle Obama, grows vegetable and herb vegetables. But journalists have not yet been able to find out about any special items on the Trump couple's menu (the president, by the way, does not hide his love for steaks and adores fast food like fried chicken and hamburgers) (read also: “Guilty pleasures: 8 combinations of fast food and wine "). It is important to note, however, that White House chefs are in some way setting the tone for the entire United States.

“If the first lady is not interested in food, then the quality of food usually decreases,” one of Bill Clinton's assistants and cookbook author Adrienne Miller explained to the Times. - Eleanor Roosevelt is a prime example of this. With her, food was so bad that many thought about what to eat before going to the White House."
