Freelee Reviews What I Eat As A Model // Romee Strijd
In today's video Romee Strijd shows us what she will eat in a day at home. Here is Romee's Model Diet video: Freelee the Banana Girl video analyses some of Romee's typical diet meals that she eats for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Freelee shows Romee's macros and overall calorie intake. You can learn more about how to get a lean healthy body long term by reading my weight loss manuals here:
In 2019 Romee Strijd is a Victoria Secret Supermodel who we are all taught to be jealous of in this culture because she fits our cultures definition of “beautiful” but I can’t lie she is an impressive specimen. So Romee was scouted by a modelling agency when she was 13 and now she is 24, yes I’m old enough to be her mum. lol. So she is very tall at 5’11 and weighs around 117lbs or 53kg. About the same weight as me but I’m only 5’5.5. Romee just hit over 1 million subs on her youtube and approaching 6 million followers on her instagram.
Romee's What I Eat As A Model Diet 2019:
8:30 am Breakfast around 400 calories.
11:00 am Snack around 180 calories.
1pm Lunch around 530 calories.
4pm Snack under 100 calories.
8:30pm Dinner around 400 calories.
Total around 1700 calories.
On the blood sugar front that Freelee forget to mention in the video: Fruit is naturally low on glycemic load and glycemic index because it is a whole food which contains a large proportion of water and fibre so it does NOT spike blood sugar levels. Of course fruit RAISES blood sugar levels (which is the whole point!) as you have glucose/fructose entering your blood stream and subsequently fuelling you (good!). Romee Strijd is simply not eating enough fruit in a meal/snack to maintain optimal blood sugar levels so her blood sugar drops quickly when she just eats fruit. And as a result she reaches for sub-optimal foods and fattier animal products later on instead of just eating more fruit in that meal/snack.
Lets say Romee did eat all of the food she presented in this video, the fact is we don’t know if she did or not but lets just say she did. She would get a bit under 1700 calories for the day. This is far too little calories for Romee's body. Sure it’s enough for an active 8 year old child but Romee’s basal metabolic rate (which means the amount of calories she is burning if she just stayed in bed all day) is around 1500 calories. She is active so needs at least 2200-2400 calories or more a day so at the moment she is risking nutrient deficiencies and training her body to store fat rather than burn it and setting herself up for continued problem with stimulants.
The following are estimates based on what she has shown in her What I Eat In A Day As A Model and based on what portion she appeared to share with her husband Laurens van Leeuwen. Roughly she is getting around 43% fat, 45% carbs and 12% protein for the day. She is also getting around 3150 grams of potassium. So she is getting far too little carbohydrates and far too much fat for optimal energy levels, long term weight maintenance and overall health. Freelee recommend she increases to over 65% (RDI) or much more of daily calories from carbohydrates and then the other macros will naturally fall into a healthy amount.
On the potassium front: The RDI for potassium is 4700 mgs per day so she is falling far short by around 1550 grams. Potassium has interestingly been called the anti-aging mineral and as Freleee stated earlier obviously assists with weight loss by helping the body regulate the potassium sodium balance another reason why Freelee is lean effortlessly. Freelee would love to coach Romee on the Raw Till 4 Diet or at the very least see her adopting a high carb cooked vegan plant-based lifestyle. You get to eat more volume for less calories, it’s basically every models dream.
