Nutrition
As with many supermodels, Gigi is a protein fiend—and incorporates plenty of it into her diet.
The model told Harper's BAZAAR US that she loves scrambled eggs and toast as it's an "easy go-to".
She also said "My boyfriend, being British, got me into breakfast beans, so that's what I've been eating lately".
Her favourite salad is an arugula salad, which involves plenty of rocket and Parmesan cheese, and her favourite snacks are "salami, chips, hummus, carrots and fruit," according to SELF.
As much as Gigi enjoys comfort foods, when the model is preparing for a job it's been reported that she drinks smoothies. This type of food restriction is not something you should do without a doctor's supervision. Gigi only restricts herself for work, which is a part of model life and not something that is recommended daily.
Though plenty of models' diets involve some method of fasting, Hadid has been open about the fact that starving yourself is never a viable option—for your health, or for your sanity.
Speaking to SELF in 2016, Gigi said "If I don't have milk and bread and eggs, then I can't deal."
Fitness
While Gigi might be occasionally liberal with some of the foods she eats, the eldest Hadid sister knocks it out of the park in the fitness department.
Attending Gotham Gym in New York City, Gigi's trainer fills her workout schedule with plenty of alternating workouts—but her favourite of all of them is boxing, similar to other VS girls like Candice Swanepoel.
In an interview with SELF, Gigi's trainer Rob Piela said: "Gigi loves boxing, so we use it in a lot of her workouts."
"If boxing isn't your thing, [you] can swap it out for another cardio activity. I've always liked jump rope—it's great for legs—or running [if you prefer]."
"You just want to keep your heart rate up the entire time".
Piela shared one of Hadid's workouts with SELF, involving "three minutes of [non-stop] boxing, and then one minute of doing a lot of different leg-focused strength-training moves".
Alongside boxing, Hadid focuses on strength and muscle training, including building her core muscles.
Piela told SELF that he even remotely coaches Gigi for motivation when she's on the road, saying: "She's a great friend of mine. We FaceTime when she's on the road. The motivation and support, no matter where she may be, is critical."
