Kaia Gerber‘s Diet

Summary

Gerber is young and active, and so she gets away with eating more carbs than most other people. She loves bagels and can’t go a day without pasta. Her top pick is penne alla vodka, which she also knows how to make. She says no one in her family spends a lot of time sitting around eating; they’re too busy with the rest of their life. Gerber drinks plenty of water, which helps with the drying effects of airplane travel.

Diet Details

\

Rise & Eat

Gerber says she’s hungry right when she wakes up, and she takes care of that problem with a bagel from her family’s favorite deli, Nate ’n Al’s.

\

Pasta Power

Gerber says she not only loves to eat pasta, she also knows how to make it, which is really helpful while traveling since it’s easy, quick, and a crowdpleaser.

\

Don’t Waste Time

Gerber says her family isn’t into spending a long time at the table. They eat fast and then get on with other things.

\

Delicious Treats

Gerber doesn’t deny herself good food. She digs ethnic specialities, Cuban in particular. She’s a big fan of steak tacos, and a Cuban-style banana split with caramelized plantains.

Kaia Gerber’s Workout Routine

Weekly Routine

Great Genes

Gerber certainly lucked out in the genetic lottery. She is naturally lean, but that doesn’t mean she takes her health for granted. She works out regularly.

Family Time

Gerber says a morning bike ride on the beach is a long-standing family tradition. They still ride together, although she says the one who holds them up is her late-sleeping brother.

Fresh Air Hikes

Gerber enjoys hiking in her hometown of Malibu, and also wherever she travels in the world. She says that getting in a hike with her mom before breakfast is a great way to start the day.

Daily Dose

Gerber starts out her routine with cardio, maybe 20-30 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical. Then she moves on to targeted work.

Resistance Training

Gerber uses resistance bands and bodyweight to keep her body toned and lean.

Pilates Power

Gerber does Pilates once a week with Jacqui Kingswell to stretch and strengthen her core and entire body.

No Excuses

When time is tight, Gerber still makes time for a quick lower body workout to keep her legs looking fabulous.

Kaia Gerber‘s Lifestyle

Rough Ride

Gerber says she doesn’t sleep well on the road, and so to catch up, she always goes to bed early when she’s at home.

Living the Dream

Gerber hardly ever gets a lazy lie-in day, but when she does, she still barely sleeps past 9 am.

No Pressure

Gerber says her mother did not pressure her to become a model, but her mom also supported her decision to take that path.

Wild Child

Gerber says that while her mom was valedictorian of her high school class and a sweet person who tends to worry, Gerber takes after her dad and is more of an edgy rule-breaker.

Different People

Gerber says that while they look alike and their mannerisms are almost identical, there are some differences between herself and her mom: mom is taller, and they also don’t wear the same size shoes, much to her chagrin.

Celebrating Christmukah

Gerber’s dad is Jewish and her mother is Christian, and so she says they grew up celebrating all holidays.

Math Nerd

One of Gerber’s favorite subjects in school was math. She’s also an avid reader and started a book club during the pandemic. Two things she’s not good at: singing and drawing.

{

Gerber on the importance of sleep

My mom always said, “You’re gonna dream about getting in bed early.” I didn’t believe her, but after my first fashion month, now I do.

{

Gerber on sleeping in

If I make to 9, that’s a dream.

{

Gerber on starting the day

I can get ready in 5 minutes, but getting out of bed takes forever.

{

Gerber on her multicultural heritage

I loved learning about both of those sides of my life…and learning the cooking.

{

Gerber on looking beautiful naturally

Highlighter is the secret to my no-makeup makeup look.

{

Gerber on modeling

Modeling is…fun for me, so it doesn’t feel like work.

{

Gerber on karaoke

Don’t make me do karaoke. I’m the worst singer.

{

Gerber on her life

People expect you to be doing something cool all the time. In a normal life, that’s not happening!

{

Gerber on doing math

I like math, which sounds really nerdy.

{

Gerber on seeing the world

Living in Malibu is like being in a bubble, so discovering other [people] that are so different from me has been incredibly gratifying.

{

Gerber on her life

I’m so glad I actually got to be a kid before having to grow up.

{

Gerber on comparing to her mother

My mom and I aren’t the same size…And we’re not the same shoe size either, which is heartbreaking.
