Carol Alt at the Stephen Weiss Apple Awards in New York City. For Alt, her raw food diet and consistent exercise routine are responsible for her youthful look, even at 62. The ex-supermodel went on the diet in 1996 and has since written on its "life-changing benefits." According to Alt, the diet consists of "clean, organic, unprocessed food," notably fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, extra-virgin olive oil and raw coconut oil. Her food is also cooked with natural ingredients below 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Alt swears by the healing benefits of her diet, saying she no longer has to use her regular drugs. "Seventeen years ago I lived on Afrin, Tums and Tylenol, to name a few of the over-the-counter drugs that I wouldn't leave home without," she said. "Today I take none. When people ask me how I did it, all I say is that I changed my diet." Alt uses a Pilates PRO chair and Core 46 machine for her intense workout routine. She also does cardio and yogalates — a combo of yoga and pilates- and cycling in the sauna, weight-lifting, lunges, squats, and jumping trampoline. What inspired Alt's lifestyle? February 17, 2014, New York CityCarol Alt arrives on the pink carpet for Barbie Celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in New York City on February 17, 2014 Alt shared the experience that made her transform her diet and life, admitting that it was motivated by self-described vanity. "I was on a shoot, I was 34–35 years old. There was a 22-year-old model … the whole set just gravitated toward her, because she had this energy and exuberance for life. She was jumping around and having a good time... she put me to shame. She really did. I just watched her in fascination," she recalled. The incident motivated Alt to reflect and research ways to regain that energy. "I was thinking, 'How did I go from that… to feeling so tired, bloated and ugly?' I started researching, and I started praying because I realized there was something that was happening," she recalled. Thankfully, her friend suggested the raw food diet, which has worked great for the veteran supermodel so far.
