Gisele Bündchen Says She Ended Strict Vegan Diet After Health Issues

Her new book details a shift to an 80/20 plant‑forward plan on doctors’ advice to correct iron deficiency.

Overview

  • Gisele Bündchen writes in her book that she stopped eating strictly vegan after anemia and digestion problems began to affect her daily life and modeling work.
  • She says frequent beans left her bloated and gassy, which she notes was not ideal for swimsuit and lingerie shoots.
  • According to her account, supplements and professional guidance did not resolve low iron levels, and doctors recommended adding some red meat.
  • She now reports eating mostly plants with some animal protein, describing roughly 80% plant foods and 20% animal foods.
  • Giselle frames the change as balancing a long‑standing care for animals with her health needs, and the disclosure prompted wide online debate over restrictive diets and personal nutrition.
