Karlie Kloss Talks Pre-VS Show Diet

On what she ate on Thanksgiving, 5 days before the show:

My mom makes this amazing pumpkin bread. Especially when it’s warm and soft out of the oven. My favorite thing is on Thanksgiving morning, you wake up to watch the parade, and the smell of this bread in the oven is just, like, it’s happiness. I don’t think people realize half of the things that we do [or eat]. We are humans, we are normal — I live my life, I have a wonderful, happy, healthy life. I indulge! But I also work hard. I work out and I train and I’m very active and always healthy, but, you know … I have a sweet tooth. It’s about balance, because that’s the only way to [keep your routine] sustainable. I don’t diet; I’m not a fan of diets or fasts. I just do my best to stay healthy.

On the breakfast before the show:

You know, no, you people have been letting me down. I’m thoroughly disappointed. Tomorrow, though, Lily [Aldridge] and I are having a proper English tea date with scones and jam.

On her usual breakfast:

I stay hydrated; we’re all really on the go, so you just have to stay hydrated more than anything. I’m chugging down fruit juices, and for breakfast, mainly out of necessity because [of how early the call time was] I had a cookie. A Karlie’s Kookie! I eat them for breakfast often, because it’s almond flour, a handful of almonds, it’s oats, it’s agave and olive oil. So you have a bit of clean energy. It’s like a power bar.
