Gisele Bündchen explains why she started eating meat again after trying veganism
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.

The main objective was to stabilize iron levels in the blood. The change brought quick relief from anemia. Hoje, meals remain centered on vegetables, but without total rigidity.
Gisele Bündchen reinforced that he learned from the experience. Ela has become more humble about his own physical limitations. Flexibility has gained space in the eating routine.
Livro Nutrir brings personal recipes and lessons
The new book brings together more than one hundred practical recipes. Elas prioritize simple ingredients and the balance between body and well-being.
Gisele shares not only dishes, but also the learning accumulated over the years. The work avoids harsh labels and advocates listening to your own body.
Ela still maintains a strong connection with environmental and animal causes. The current approach mixes what worked in veganism with what her body accepts better.
Current Rotina prioritizes vegetables with moderate animal protein
The supermodel does not follow a fixed diet. Ela combines a large volume of vegetables with small portions of animal protein when necessary.
Essa blend helps maintain energy for everyday life and work. Aos 45 years old, Gisele appears willingly in recent records alongside his family.
The report in the book shows that small amounts of red meat were enough to improve iron levels. The model avoided exaggerations when returning to food.
Flexibilidade became the main lesson of the journey
Gisele Bündchen wrote that veganism taught a lot about values and health. However, the rigidity brought physical consequences that she did not foresee.
Hoje, she prefers to avoid extremes. Her diet reflects respect for her body and what it signals at each stage.
Essa posture appears on the “Nurture” pages. The focus is on the pleasure of eating well without guilt or excessive pressure.
