Niki Taylor, Supermodel

Getting Back to supermodel shape with delivery meals - and her hubby
She's been modeling since age 14, but the 6-foot Sports Illustrated swimsuit beauty, 32, tells Us, "This is the first time I've ever been on a diet!" After the mom of twins (sons Jake and Hunter, 13) suffered near-fatal injuries in a 2001 car crash, staying slim had slipped in priority. But she lost 11 pounds for her new gig as cohost of Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel (premiering January 10). Since November, she and her Nascar-racer hubby of one year, Burney Lamar, 27, have been subscribing to North Carolina's Racing Edge Fitness meal delivery (racingedgefitness.com). On the 1,700-calorie, six-meal-a-day program, the couple make their own breakfasts and postdinner snacks, but rely on deliveries for the rest of their meals - typically egg and low-fat cheese whole-grain tortilla burritos midmorning, and chicken and mashed potatoes, turkey chili and chicken fajitas throughout the day. "I wouldn't really call it a diet-diet because I'm eating every two hours," says Taylor, who also hits the gym three mornings a week for 30 minutes of cardio (bike, elliptical and treadmill) followed by three sets of leg presses, leg extensions and leg curls (20 reps each). "I'm almost in size-29 jeans, she boasts. "I haven't been this size for at least a decade!"

Delivery Diets
March 2008

RACING EDGE FITNESS Founded by athletes to provide nutritional guidance to NASCAR teams, this North Carolina company has expanded its client base to include model Niki Taylor. Racing Edge embraces the concept of five or six small meals a day, of which one or two are protein shakes or bars. Lots of your own fresh fruits and veggies are encouraged.

BAZAAR SAYS "The oatmal-crusted chicken tenders were wonderful," said one staffer, who also raved about the sweet potatoes and green beans. The whold-wheat banana pancakes (with enough sugar-free syrup!) were yummy. Portions were meaty;' presentation was TV-dinner-style.

Back and Better than Before - Niki Taylor
May 2008

From supermodel to FITNESS's Mind, Body & Spirit Superstar, Niki Taylor, 32, has seamlessly stepped into a new chapter of her life. Find out how the TV-show host and health advocate is writing her own rules.

Under the warm lights of a loft in New York city, Niki Taylor is smiling - that electric, girl-next-door grin that makes you want to just stop and shoot the breeze. No matter that her face has graced more than 400 magazine covers worldwide. Niki will always be the friend you want to hang with - the woman practically radiates confidence, despite the challenges life has handed her (the death of her younger sister in 1995, a near-fatal car accident seven years ago, raising twin boys as a single mom). Taylor's resiliency is perhaps her most striking feature. Now that she's in her 30s, her body is more curvy than stick-thin, a fact she is fine with and, in an industry that rewards super-skinny over super healthy, another example of how Taylor is doing things her way.
