American model Leslie Carleton, 62, continues to take part in explicit filming. She often poses for magazines and catalogs in lingerie, and is also the oldest contender to win Sports Illustrated's bikini competition. The woman has two sons and two grandchildren, while she looks 20 years younger than her age.
The model told how she manages to stay young and beautiful, and shared the secret of a good figure. She admitted that in her youth she never watched her diet, but at the age of 20 she listened to the advice of her grandmother, who was a dancer. She advised her granddaughter to eat healthy food in small portions every two to three hours, writes the Daily Mail.
In addition, Carlton followed the rule that the amount of food containing carbohydrates and protein must fit in the palm of your hand. In this case, there should be twice as many vegetables. “Six days a week I watch what I eat. I do not eat fried foods, I try to limit the amount of flour and sugar. But on Sundays I allow myself to relax and eat hamburgers, for example. It keeps my metabolism in check,”shared Carlton.
The model also said that at the age of 30 she became interested in sports. She became a ski fan and got a black belt in karate. For the past 10 years, the woman has been involved in weightlifting. This, according to Carlton, helps her stay slim and fit in her seventh decade. In addition, the model tries to sleep eight hours a night and drinks a lot of water. She believes that every day you need to spend time in nature. “We need to continue to work on ourselves in order to maintain physical shape. You are what you eat and how you think,”the model believes.
