She is not just a beauty, May Mask is one of the most sought after beauty models. "It gives me pleasure to look after myself and see the corresponding results," she revealed her main secret. And the mother of one of the most famous businessmen in the world, Elon Musk, is a professional nutritionist. So, her dietary rules can be trusted one hundred percent.
1. Breakfast - yes, dinner - no
Mei never skips breakfast. According to her, it happens that she deliberately eats little the night before in order to get hungry in the morning. The model's breakfast is quite dense and usually consists of toast and scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mushrooms. It is this breakfast that allows her to remain energetic until lunch. By the way, Elon Musk's mother does not neglect bread, choosing, however, exclusively whole grains.
“If I have a shoot early in the morning, I drink a cup of coffee, eat some cereal and half a banana. I cook my own high-fiber porridge: this is a mix of raisins, bran, wheat and barley, dried cranberries, chopped nuts and pecans, as well as sunflower seeds," Mae said of her breakfast.
2. For lunch - salad
For lunch, Mae prepares a salad for herself, combining her favorite ingredients every day: romaine lettuce, onions, carrots, tomatoes, avocados, tuna or salmon, chickpeas and, in general, all kinds of legumes. And dressing the salad lemon juice and olive oil.
May Musk is not a vegetarian: "I really love lamb meat - this is my favorite food in the world. It is very nutrient-rich meat. Models and vegetables are present in the diet. Moreover, there are also potatoes, which nutritionists do not really like. Mei's potatoes divided into 3 meals and combined with vegetables.
3. For dinner - soup with beans
Mei loves to have soup for dinner. Her signature soup is 12 types of legumes, which she cooks for an hour and a half over low heat. She also adds broccoli to it, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes and wild rice. Mei eats a bowl of this soup a day, keeping in mind recent research that found that people who lived longer ate a bowl of legumes a day.
4. Fruits instead of juices
May Mask tries not to drink fruit juices, explaining that in one glass of orange juice there are 3 oranges and the same number of calories: - But if after eating one orange you feel satiety, if not long-term, then after a glass of juice it is unlikely. Drink better water. Eat fruits separately, - this is how she explains her attitude to fruits.
5. Taboo on sweets
Like most women, Mrs. Musk loves sweets and tries to limit herself in it, knowing about it. amazing ability be deposited with extra centimeters at the waist.
- I'm fighting temptation. When I visit my grandchildren, I eat a healthy dinner and let them eat their ice cream or cookies or whatever. I also want ice cream and cookies. But I deny myself this. You need to know the products that you should by no means be allowed to: for me, this is sweet.
And for dessert, instead of sweets, Mei prefers fruits: apples, grapes, plums.
The most famous innovator of our time, Elon Musk is more than an entrepreneur, engineer, inventor and business mogul. This is a legend man who is on a par with and. An entrepreneur who made a fortune on Internet startups has turned into a visionary who thinks about a better future for humanity. He is about to launch an unmanned vehicle, and from launching rockets into space, he made a real show. The ingenious Musk connects his success with the laid background - fortunately, the right atmosphere reigned in his family for cultivating talents.
Here, for example, the mother of Elon Musk is May Musk. A luxurious 68-year-old lady, whose noble profile and perfectly styled gray hair inspired the brands Clinique and Revlon - and Mei became their face.
In addition, she is a well-known nutritionist and lectures on healthy eating around the world. May Musk is the mother of three children and the grandmother of ten grandchildren. Her youngest son Kimbal owns The Kitchen restaurant chain, her daughter Tosca is a Hollywood director and producer, and her second son Elon is perhaps the most famous entrepreneur on the planet. It seems that success is a matter of course for this family, but the road to it was not easy for everyone.
A little backstory. Elon's parents divorced and, like civilized people, maintained friendly relations. The children themselves chose with whom to live. At first, Elon lived with his mother, but then moved to his father. In 1989, when Mei and her children moved from South Africa to Canada to make ends meet, she was working five jobs at the same time. The woman got a job at the University of Toronto so that the children could study for free, led modeling courses and master classes in healthy eating and also worked as a nutritionist. The kids didn’t mess around either: for example, Elon got a job at Microsoft, where a family friend worked. “The first thing we did when I got my paycheck was buy a carpet for the floor to sit on. We didn’t have any furniture,” May says. - And with the next one we bought a computer for Ilona. He was sitting at the computer right on the floor.”
When asked by the Huffington Post reporters about the secrets of raising children, May replies that the main thing is to set the right example. “My children know me as a person who worked very hard. Therefore, they themselves are workaholics.
May also reports that she never read notations to children, but she showed by personal example how difficult the path to success is. At the same time, she is sure that the success of her children is entirely their personal merit. “I have never helped my children. I worked too hard and too hard, they achieved everything on their own.
In 1995, Elon and Kimbal launched their own company, Zip2. The mother supported the desire of her sons to become successful entrepreneurs - it was she who insisted that Elon quit his main job and flew to Silicon Valley. Every six weeks she visited her sons and tried to help them with the business - for example, helping to write a business plan. Once, May recalls, she even gave them a presentation to investors until 2 a.m. “We were so tired that day that when we went to the best restaurant in Palo Alto, I said:“ This is the last time I I'm paying for our dinner." I kept my word, and since then I have never actually paid for them.”
In 1996, Musk invested all her savings - $ 10,000 - in the company of her sons Zip2, so that they could pay for office rent and other necessary things. Then it seemed like a pure adventure, but it was important for the mother to show faith in the cause of her children. In 1999, the company was bought by software maker Compaq for $307 million - Elon earned $22 million. May jokes that it was her best investment.
About Elon, May says this: “I was a nerd, and Elon is a super nerd. I once told him that there was no one in my class who knew mathematics better than me. He laughed because he knew mathematics even better than I did.” Most of all, she wanted the children to learn to work hard, because work, according to Mei, makes a person happy and does not age. “I firmly planted one thought in them: the more you work, the more successful you become.”
When asked by the Huffington Post about what Elon learned from his mother, she replied: “I hope he adopted my outlook on life.” The point is that Ilon does not need yachts and very expensive things, because he lived in difficult economic conditions: “Ilon's goal is to use the knowledge of physics to make this world a better place. People think that they are driven by a selfish motive. But it's not! It really upsets me when people say that about my son. Money was never important to him. He's just a passionate man, obsessed with his idea."
#justgettingstarted is May Musk's most popular Instagram hashtag. “Everything is just beginning” - according to her, not just a motto, but a philosophy of life. She taught her children to look to the future only with optimism - this, perhaps, was her main advice.
She became the face of the cosmetic brand Cover Girl and and for over 50 years she has worked as a model, including in the category , starred in Beyoncé's Haunted video, as well as in advertising beauty campaigns for Revlon and Clinique. H About the merits of 69-year-old May Musk go far beyond the modeling business. May Musk is known as a licensed nutritionist - the model received two higher education in the field of dietetics and nutrition science. Musk has three children: the most famous is billionaire inventor Elon Musk, head of Tesla Motors, Space X and PayPal. Her daughter is a TV show producer, and another son is restaurant business. Musk recently gave an interview to the magazine The New York Magazine and talked about her nutritional principles and beauty rules that you should listen to.

If I have to shoot early in the morning, I drink a cup of coffee, eat some cereal and half a banana. I make my own high-fiber porridge: a mix of raisins, bran, wheat and barley, dried cranberries, chopped nuts and pecans, and sunflower seeds. I use 1% milk. I don’t consider almond milk to be milk, it’s not even a drink.
I don't really like training. I walk my dog four times a day, but sometimes I still go to the gym.
While I do 30 minutes of exercise on a stationary bike, during this time I can read. Or I can run on the track. And when I do strength exercises and stretch, I watch TV at the same time - otherwise I get bored. However, after a workout, I always feel better. I feel proud of myself. My body feels better. It is important to always be active so that the bones remain flexible.
When I got divorced and moved to a new city, I did not limit myself in food, I ate everything and gained weight. But gaining 18 kilograms is not so difficult if you like fried foods. True, then at the age of 32 I became a model with magnificent forms and thanks to this I gained popularity.
As a plus-size nutritionist, I understood how difficult it is to lose weight. You must be vigilant. It is very difficult to be a plus-size model and a nutritionist. Therefore, in order to lose weight, I ate right for a year and dropped those same 18 kilograms in order to return to the sixth size.
I always have a snack with me, such as nuts or prunes. I don't like to go hungry. Because when you're hungry, you look at the food, and it's never salad - it's always muffins! So my principle is not to starve.
I fight temptation. When I visit my grandchildren, I eat a healthy dinner and let them eat their ice cream or cookies or whatever. I also want ice cream and cookies. But I deny myself this. You need to know the products that you should by no means: for me, this is sweet.
Let's say I flew to New York for a photo shoot. I will eat nutritious breakfast, lunch and I will have a snack somewhere at 4-5 o'clock in the afternoon. By the time I get back to the hotel, I won't need to eat anything because I've eaten well throughout the day. For dinner, I can eat leftovers from lunch.
You need to keep your weight in check. It is always daily planning. It's worth it. It seems like hard work, but the result is that you feel great.
My healthy recipe: I make a soup with a mixture of 12 types of beans, soak them overnight, then boil them, add tomatoes, seasoning and let cool. I eat a bowl of this soup a day. It's very nutritious! One report found that people who lived longer ate a bowl of legumes a day.
I really love lamb meat - it's my favorite food in the world. It is a very nutritious meat. I eat all vegetables. I also eat potatoes, divided into three meals with lots of vegetables. This way you don't gain weight. I experienced it first hand. If I cook for myself alone, then it is very simple food. It's more like snacking during the day - egg on toast, lots of fruits and vegetables, and legumes. If I buy salmon, I eat it within three days.
I advise all women over 65 to be positive and enjoy life.
