        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She can have her cake and eat it, too.</p><p>Former supermodel Carol Alt — whose <strong>jaw-dropping figure at 59 years old</strong> set the internet ablaze Wednesday — told Page Six Style that her secret to taut abs and an enviable figure is eating dessert.</p><p>&#8220;Sometimes I&#8217;ll just order a tiramisu and like, for the last three days, I’ve been eating that for dinner,&#8221; Alt admitted.</p><p>But there’s one catch: It’s entirely made of raw ingredients.</p><p>&#8220;Tiramisu is more nourishing for me than having a ham sandwich because it&#8217;s made from coconuts and all this amazing stuff so it&#8217;s very nourishing and filling,&#8221; she explained.</p><p>Ever since she went raw in 1996, Alt has been an outspoken advocate for the diet&#8217;s “life-changing” benefits and has penned several books about it, including “Eating in the Raw: A Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, and Looking Younger the Raw-Food Way,” published in 2004.</p><figure id="attachment_5271529"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/carol-alt-vogue-1983.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/carol-alt-vogue-1983.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/carol-alt-vogue-1983.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Carol Alt poses in a 1983 issue of Vogue.</span><span class="credit">Conde Nast via Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><p>In the heyday of her modeling career, Alt, weirdly enough, used to live off carbs. “For so long I was eating spaghetti twice a day on the set of my movies. I ate so many carbohydrates because they kept me thin,” she said.</p><p>Today, she allows herself guilty pleasures, although they&#8217;re on the healthier side. “At Rao&#8217;s, they make me gluten-free pasta and gluten-free eggplant &#8230; it’s the best I’ve ever had,” she said. “I&#8217;m not an angel.”</p><p>As for booze? &#8220;I try to stay away from alcohol because it&#8217;s really, really addictive, but I can&#8217;t say during [the COVID-19 pandemic] I haven&#8217;t had a glass of nice white wine here and there.&#8221;</p><p>It was Alt&#8217;s love for her new, healthier self that inspired her to pose topless in a pair of tiny bikini bottoms as part of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit&#8217;s <strong>#SwimsuitIconChallenge</strong>.</p><p>“You work out and you work out and you work out and you just want to say ‘Hey, look, I work out and I&#8217;m 60 freaking years old this year!’” she exclaimed.</p><figure id="attachment_5271535"  class="wp-caption alignleft"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/carol-alt-1.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/carol-alt-1.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/carol-alt-1.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Carol Alt backstage at New York Fashion Week in February 2019.</span><span class="credit">Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows</span></figcaption></figure><p>And the native New Yorker’s workout regimen is no small feat: She alternates between using her Pilates PRO Chair, Core 46 machine, cycling in the sauna, jumping on a trampoline, lifting weights and doing lunges and squats, all in her own home.</p><p>Alt was still shocked by the outpouring of fawning fans, though.</p><p>“I never expected this, believe me,” she said. “When I went to push the button to share, I had to stop and take a deep breath.”</p><p>Alt, a 1982 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl herself, was encouraged by a friend to participate in the challenge, which asked fans to recreate their favorite swimsuit cover photos of the past.</p><p>The model and animal lover decided on Marisa Miller’s 2008 snap because “I always wanted to shoot a photo on the beach in the sand,” she said.</p><p>So Alt asked photographer and friend Ezequiel de la Rosa to help out — since she lives alone with her two cats — and he shot the photos on an iPhone 11 to put her on equal footing with the challenge&#8217;s other participants.</p><p>Admittedly, she did use a bit of Photoshop. “I have a scar on my belly so we erased that,” she told us. “But that’s it.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
