Heidi Klum started in the fashion industry when she was barely 20 years old. Now, twenty years later and with several titles under her wings -- cover model of Sports Illustrated, first German model to become a Victoria's Secret Angel, multi-awarded host, and businesswoman -- it's intriguing to learn the secret to maintaining her healthy glow and trim physique.

Celebrity Health & Fitness dishes that during a recent photoshoot for her lingerie line, Heidi Klum Intimates, the 42-year-old mother of four sizzled in a laced, see-through bikini while modelling her designs. Klum says she owes it all to low-carb diet, regular workouts with "Ultimate New York Body Plan" trainer David Korsch, and her perception of age as "just a number".

The supermodel candidly states that she is pretty much okay with eating fresh fruits and vegetables instead of bagels or other carbohydrate-rich foods. She doesn't believe in plastic surgery, preferring to age gracefully. She also makes an effort to exercise on a daily basis, choosing to run along Westside Highway in New York, with complementary circuits and strength training workouts.

Klum claims that she doesn't just diet on photoshoot days. The Daily Mail UK writes that the supermodel likes to have the appearance of being fit and healthy all the time, not just for shows or pictorials. She even says she doesn't have any ritual before a shoot, asserting that it's all thanks to her lifestyle, water drinking and sleeping habits.

Klum shares also shared some tips when modelling swimwear and lingerie, as cited by People Magazine. The supermodel explains that it is important to listen to what the photographers want and stick to their advice. She recalls that when she started in the industry, she was often told to avoid over-posing, overarching, duck faces, and strange poses.

Klum shares that in order for her to get comfortable, she would imagine that it was her 27-year-old boyfriend, Vito Schnabel, behind the lens instead of her lingerie line's photographer Francesco Carrozzini. Klum is thankful for Carrozzini's expertise as it made the shoot easier and glamorous, making everything look "effortlessly sexy".

With her low-carb diet, regular workouts, water drinking, and sleeping habits plus a very professional attitude towards her personal and work life, there is no question why Heidi Klum is still beautifully healthy, remarkably fit, and exceptionally well-known in the fashion industry.
