Supermodel Gisele Bündchen shared details of her own eating journey in her book “Nourish: Simple Recipes for Body and Soul.” Ela has tried to follow veganism strictly for years. Her body, however, showed clear signs that it needed adjustments.

Aos 45 years old, the woman from Rio Grande do Sul maintained the respect for animals that has accompanied her since she was young. Ela even dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. Mesmo Thus, the exclusively plant-based diet created persistent challenges for her health.

Persistent Anemia marked the model’s vegan phase

Gisele Bündchen faced anemia for a long time while following veganism. Suplementos of iron and foods such as lentils did not resolve the condition.

The model increased her grain consumption to reach her protein goals. Beans became a constant presence in her meals.

  • The result included frequent abdominal bloating
  • Excessive Gases harmed daily life
  • The discomfort even affected photo shoots in bikinis or lingerie

Ela described the situation straightforwardly in the book. Ficar, bloated and gassy, ​​did not suit her demanding professional routine.

Heavy Digestão led to dietary changes

Digestion became slower with the high volume of grains. Gisele noticed that the body did not absorb necessary nutrients well from plant sources alone.

Ela decided to listen to the body’s signals. The solution was to include red meat in small quantities. The frequency was a few times a month.
