CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 GAME-CHANGER ISSUE - Heather Blackburn | Page 34

tiest and most talented person on the planet, but if no one wants
to work with you because you’re rude and never listen, you will
not succeed.
CSM: What is your great advice to those who will venture this
kind of work?
ADELA: I always say it’s important to know who you are first,
what type of things you are comfortable with, what you aren’t and
of course have belief in yourself. In this type of industry, everyone
will have an opinion, on you, on your career and what you should
do next. At the end of the day do what is most true to yourself.
CSM: With all the exposure you get, how do you keep your feet
on the ground?
ADELA: Modelling is a job much like any other job. I may not
go into an office from 9 till 5 but once I’m done with work, I’m
just Adela, not Adela the model. At home I’m still a student; I
still have household chores and responsibilities. The exposure
(whether it’s there or not) is simply a part of the job but it isn’t
my life.
CSM: Cast a magic spell and wave your magic wand, where do
you see yourself ten years from now?
ADELA: In 10 years I’ll be 31! Who knows really, I don’t know if
I’ll still be able to model at that age but I’d love to have my own
business and find some sort of inner peace. As cheesy as it sounds
I don’t really crave for any sort of fame or monetary success…
as long as I’m content with whatever I’m doing I think I will be
happy.
ON TRAINING
AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
CSM: How do you keep yourself educated or updated for latest
trends and information in fitness training?
ADELA: I’m a little bit skeptical of fitness trends because I think
that fitness isn’t a one size fits all concepts and what work for
someone else may not work for me. I do admit to researching
what actresses and models like to do for workouts as an inspira-
tion but I am fully aware that it may not work for me in the same
way.
CSM: How important is food and nutrition to you as a model
or as an individual?
ADELA: Of course I think food and proper nutrition is a vital
part of my job as I am often expected to be a “sample size”
in order to fit in specific clothing however as an individual I
try not to be too obsessed with food as from past experience I
know that can often lead to dangerous behaviour. Everything
in moderation is the general approach I have towards food.
CSM: Do you think there are essential skills to be effective in
maintaining your figure or shape? Why is that?
ADELA: I think discipline is an essential skill that one needs
in regard to working out in general. When I get asked about
my figure I often say that I don’t really have a regime at the
gym but I go almost every day because I know that it’s good
for me. Even if I eliminate the fact that I’m trying to maintain
a figure for general health I think it is important to discipline
yourself to exercise.
CSM: What are your ideas about non-organic food versus or-
ganic?
ADELA: Personally I’m not that fussy about eating organic
food however I do prefer the idea of eating foods with less
chemical interference. I wouldn’t say I go out of my way to
eat organic.
CSM: What are your views on an all-meat diet versus a vegan
diet?
ADELA: I try to eat from every food group, I feel like my
body needs it. I have to say I am not that familiar with all-
meat diets and I can’t see how that could be completely sus-
tainable. I’ve heard a lot of health benefits from a vegan diet
and I think I’d be open to trying one, however I don’t think I
could sustain one.
CSM: What groups of food do you usually eat?
ADELA: I try to eat a little bit of everything. I’m not really a
fan of red meat or sea food as a personal preference but I will
eat them once in a while. I don’t like to completely cut any-
thing out but if I have an important job coming up sometimes I
