ongtime supermodel Sarah DeAnna believes in our ability to shape both our life—and our looks. Raised by a single mom in the small farm town of Jefferson, Oregon, DeAnna made her way to Los Angeles after putting herself through college, earning a degree in interna- tional business marketing from Oregon State University, in Cor- vallis. While she planned to pursue a graduate degree in business at the Uni- versity of California, a chance meeting with a photographer at a Hollywood café instead launched her career as an international fashion model, realizing a childhood dream. This natural health trendsetter has since appeared in Vogue, Elle and Ma- rie Claire, and walked the runway for such internationally renowned design- ers as Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Stella McCartney. DeAnna credits her success to her commitment to modeling a healthy, balanced lifestyle. In her new book, Supermodel You, she debunks myths about modeling, fitness and beauty, explaining how beauty ema- nates from the inside out.

How you walk also affects your body in more ways than you realize.

When a Harvard
University study informed a group of hotel housekeep- ers that didn’t consider
themselves physically active that they were actually exercising all day long, they all lost weight. The only difference was their awareness of their work as exercise.
Why do you believe that models that follow less severe diets and workout regimens are better off? Restrictive extremes put enormous stress on your body, which is a leading cause of unhealthy weight gain. When I first started out, I didn’t know that I was eating too little and working out too much and too hard. Then my agent told me to ease my exercise and start eat- ing some healthy fats again, which the body needs. When I stopped overdoing it, I both felt better and achieved my target weight. There isn’t any one kind of diet or
exercise practice that’s right for ev- eryone; it’s all about having a positive relationship with food and your body.
