Elle Macpherson: 'I Eat Like It's Going Out of Fashion'

Oh, to have the genes -- and wear the jeans -- of a supermodel.

Gisele Bündchen? She swears her baby weight just fell off. Heidi Klum? The "Project Runway" host seems to go straight from the delivery room to the Victoria's Secret runway.

And now, '80s icon Elle Macpherson says she never diets and basically eats like a horse.

Well, isn't that super?

The 47-year-old known as The Body tells Australia's Sky News she "loves food far too much" to diet.

"My worst habit is eating too much -- I eat like it's going out of fashion really," Macpherson, who has an intimates company, tells the site.

"But I stay active with things like water-skiing and horse riding, and I guess that keeps the weight off."

So, what's the mother of Arpad, 12, and Aurelius, 7, feasting on?

"I tend to snack on whatever me and the boys have left over from our regular weekly menu," she tells the site.

"So that'll be a bit of chicken from Wednesday night's dinner, steak from Thursday night, fish from Friday, and so on."

Macpherson is back in the public eye and in front of the camera, serving as the host of "Britain's Next Top Model."

"The thing I found most difficult was when there were six or seven cameras around and I automatically go into model mode," she told London's Daily Mail last month.

"Yet I shouldn't be worried about what I look like -- I really have to worry about what the girls look like."

But she's not worrying too much. Macpherson tells Sky News she simply enjoys eating too much to give up her favorite foods.

"I'm naturally the curvy type, and I'm more concerned with feeling fit and healthy than looking super slim," she says.

Yikes -- if she's not super slim, what hope is there for us mere mortals?

Meanwhile, here's another celeb who says she doesn't diet.

Elle's worst habit is eating rhinoseros horn to stay beautiful. The second is serving outher endangered animals in her restaurant. Beauty is only skin deep.

Last time I checked, a snack wasn't a full meal. A snack is eaten in between meals. Lots of people get by on only two meals with some snacking throughout the day. It's not too uncommon!!

skeptical: wake up, people are not all like you. Some people have fast metabolisms, and have no problem keeping weight off, and others, probably like you, are fat tubs of sludge. Remember, she's a supermodel, and you aren't. There's a reason for that.

Oh, come on she is genetically gorgeous and by eating small snacks and taking care of her life instead of whining she stays slim. So? It's good for young Women to see that when you live your life fully and eat small meals, it pays off. She is gorgeous and could compete with any 18 year and beat 9/10th of them. She's active.

Likwe most wealthy people its easy to stay slim when you can afford the right drugs and have someone prepare all your meals.

I hate this kind of "journalism". This is non-news about a modeling icon that nobody needs to read. I'm lean and fit, but I work very hard for it. Then I find out that Ms. Macpherson claims she eats whatever she damn well pleases and still looks like this. Is stylelist TRYING to make us mad?
