‘80s supermodel Carol Alt ‘suffered’ during her career: I ‘didn’t eat’

Supermodel Carol Alt was known as “The Face” in the 80s.

However, the catwalk queen, 62, now admits that she was underfed through most of her career and it led to “a health breakdown.”

“I suffered through my modeling career because I was always tired, I was always malnourished. I was always trying to keep my weight down,” Alt told Fox News in a new interview.

“I didn’t eat, and when I ate, I ate garbage because I really did not know what to eat,” she continued.

“I didn’t know what to eat in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, how much and what would keep my energy going, and there were so many times I suffered.”

Alt — who is a big proponent of the raw food diet — contacted Dr. Timothy Brantley, a nutritional healer to help get herself healthy.

“I wish when I was 18, 19 years old and somebody said to me, ‘You should eat your vegetables raw,’” she said.

Branding Dr. Brantley as her “guru,” Alt explained that he aided her in “changing” her lifestyle.

The Long Island native went on: “All of a sudden I had a new lease on life.”

Alt’s mother was shocked at her transformation, which is thanks in part to raw food and “enzymes.”

As Alt got older, she realized that she “wanted to run like a Ferrari, and so I put Ferrari-type fuel in my body.”

“Some of that fuel includes raw food, lots of water and green tea,” she said.

Now in her early 60s, the “Vogue” cover star has no plans to stop showing off her body.

Case in point: She recently created an OnlyFans account and walked the runway at the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” show during Miami Fashion Week over the summer.

Of her work on the subscription-based adult content platform, she told Page Six earlier this month how the experience has been liberating.

“Forty-four years of working, I don’t own one of my photos,” she said at the time.

“I can [now] choose a photo or not, say I want it or not, they are mine. I can shoot how I want to shoot. It’s the wave of the future,” she continued. “When people say it isn’t my image, I don’t want to be defined by someone else image [of me]. I want to define my own image.”
