Jelena ‘Gigi’ Hadid is the daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Dutch model Yolanda Hadid and Palestinian-American real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.

She has a younger sister and brother who are also fashion models. In 2017, she and her sister Bella became the first siblings to make the Forbes World’s Highest Paid Models list. Hadid has appeared in a few music videos and reality TV shows besides Real Housewives, including Masterchef and Lip Sync Battle, and she played herself in the film Ocean’s 8. Hadid has millions of followers on social media. She is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 119 lbs.

Gigi Hadid’s Diet

Summary

Hadid is not your typical model who starves herself to stay slim. Although she says she tries to eat pretty clean, she still eats, and is known to be fond of cheeseburgers and fries. She has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder which attacks the thyroid and can cause fatigue, achy joints and inflammation. As a result, Hadid strives to eat fresh, organic, whole foods most of the time, and she always drinks plenty of water, up to a gallon a day.

Diet Details

The Most Important Meal

For breakfast, Hadid fuels up with scrambled eggs and toast which she calls it her ‘easy go-to.’ Then she’ll wash it all down with o.j. and coffee. If she eats out, she’ll take it to the next level and add bacon.

Homemade Goodness

Hadid enjoys cooking and shares her favorite recipes online, such as guacamole, risotto and peach crumble.

Green Machine

Hadid has a favorite arugula salad that she says she could eat every day. She also likes fresh-pressed juice.

Sushi & Friends

Like most young people, Hadid loves to dine out with friends, and often goes for sushi & drinks.

Mental Health Meals

Hadid says she has a weak spot when it comes to burgers and fries and doesn’t deny herself if she’s in the mood. She won an episode of Masterchef with her jalapeÃ±o burger.

Patience, Grasshopper

Hadid’s other indulgence is grasshopper pie ice cream, and she says she almost cried when the shop shut down. Luckily she found another store in NYC and now gets it delivered.

Gigi Hadid’s Supplements

Hadid doesn’t cop to taking any supplements, but a daily multivitamin can help fill in any nutritional gaps for busy people who don’t always have time to eat proper meals. As for her Hashimoto’s disease, supplements that support thyroid health include iodine which helps the thyroid with hormone production. Zinc reduces inflammation and boosts the thyroid’s use of vitamins such as A and D, and selenium also helps with vitamin conversion and supports immunity. Probiotics promote digestive health, and thus vitamin absorption. Vitamins D3 and K2 support immune function, and the Ayurvedic supplement ashwagandha or Indian ginseng also helps to improve immunity, along with energy, stamina, and sleep.
