Valentina Zelyaeva is a Russian model. She was born on October 11, 1982 in Ulan-Ude, Soviet Union. Famous for her numerous participation on campaigns, she was highlighted in print ads for brands and designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. She was also featured on magazines including Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, W, and Glamour. Other than that, she also modeled for Gucci, Valentino, Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Lanvin, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi.
Valentina is one healthy woman. But she admitted that prior to that, she used to be undisciplined especially when it comes to her diet. She said in an interview, “I had been modelling for six years before I discovered raw food. Basically, before that I was dieting all my life, eating the wrong food, or sometimes I didn’t eat. I didn’t know anything about nutrition. I wanted to be healthy, stay fit, eat delicious food, have a clear skin and have energy to enjoy life. When the whole raw food world opened up to me, I was amazed! I learned SO much about food and nutrition, how food can affect your body, what are fats, carbs and proteins etc. I just love to explore nutrition.”
In particular, she eats organic foods these days. “I always buy organic,” she said. “I do not eat fruits after a big meal– only on an empty stomach. I do not eat processed food. NO microwaved food either.”
