Jul 28 2006Miss Universe eats way too much

18-year-old Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza - who fainted shortly after being crowned Miss Universe - says the cause was because "it was hard to breathe and the dress was very tight and weighed a lot" and not because she had been starving herself. She says:
"I eat very well. My nutritionist ordered me to eat six times a day."
What kind of crazy ass nutrionist is ordering people to eat six times a day? Even normal people don't eat that much, let alone somebody trying to be Miss Universe. Maybe her nutritionist thought she was trying out for Mr. Universe, which is an entirely different competition altogether. And judging by her physique she clearly didn't take the guy's advice. Unless eating six times a day means eating once. And that meal consists of a cup of water and a vitamin.

She needs little more "Vitamin P" (translate that to penis) which is what she probably had to swallow to geet into that pageant in the first place!!

I wonder if "The Donald" slipped her the ol' greased pony in the Green Room...maybe that's why she passed out...
7. UCSD - July 28, 2006 1:14 PM
I'd eat her 6 times a day.
8. ChikaDeeDeeDee - July 28, 2006 1:15 PM
I think I could snack upon that. At least she's not covered from head to ass to toe in freckles, crab bites, pipe burns and track scabs.

Is she diabetic? My GF (who's Type 1) is occasionally forced to go to a nutritionist... who advises her to eat 6 small meals a day.

I'd hit that so hard that anyone who could pull me out would automatically become King of England.
15. tito - July 28, 2006 1:26 PM
It doesn't matter if you're diabetic or not. The smart thing to do is eat 5 or 6 small meals a day, instead of 3 large meals. It maintains a healthy and high metabolism.
16. januaryanne - July 28, 2006 1:30 PM
oh superfish, you're sooo far behind the times. you eat tiny meals 6 times a day, that's the big thing. dont you know about body for life?
anyway my point is - this chick ain't doin that. guaranteed she is eating a piece of cauliflower 5x a day and her 6th meal is water.
17. HolisticWisdomcom - July 28, 2006 1:32 PM
It is true, that the traditional approach to 3 meals a day is actually not the best way to keep fit. Most Americans over eat during those large meals and have long periods in between. The metabolism works better when the body is given six small meals spread throughout an active day. When people want to lose weight or maintain a low body weight, keeping the body conditioned like this is actually a good idea. Americans are pretty clueless when it comes to what is healthy with over 60 percent of us being overweight it is not surprising to read surprised accounts of what is practical advice.
For information on how most overweight people are actually starving nutritionally-

She's beautiful, but insanely orange.
Self-tanner? Although, I've nerver understood how slathering yourself head-to-toe with lotion that turns your skin brown/orange is healthier than just getting a little bit of sunlight. Or the spray-on tan thingy that screws with the pigment in your skin. Yikes!
19. LinguisticAnthro - July 28, 2006 1:34 PM
Yeah, as others have pointed out, eating six times a day doesn't mean eating six Extra Value Meals a day. They're basically snacks. Fool.

ooh girl bring that puerto rican ass this way. i'll make sure to eat it 6 times a day.
23. biatcho - July 28, 2006 1:38 PM
I prefer to eat 8 times a day, consisting of:
bacon/egg/cheese & fruit punch snapple for breakfast (hangover cure extraodinaire).
pizza for lunch w/ wine
pizza for dinner w/ beer
dessert - vodka
9pm snack - skittles & pot
10pm snack - 1 bag of doritos, more pot
10:20pm snack - reeses pieces
midnight - last hit, peanut MM's, cigarette, water.
24. januaryanne - July 28, 2006 1:39 PM
@ 21 - every now and then, HW says something funny. but this is mostly an advertising venue for HW. i know - it gets under my skin too.
25. McRican - July 28, 2006 1:39 PM
# 18 - Um, no. She's just Puerto Rican. You know, like a brown person? I should know, I'm half Rican (half Irish hence the name McRican) but I still ended up with darker skin than most white people. I don't think she used self tanner to make herself that color, I think she was born that way.
26. biatcho - July 28, 2006 1:40 PM
#18 - it's called Puerto Rican in a bottle
27. biatcho - July 28, 2006 1:40 PM

29. Zanna - July 28, 2006 1:54 PM
@18 - she IS orange and I agree..I don't see how letting self-tanning chemicals seep through your pores is better than a little bit of sun.
@25 - I'm 1/2 Cuban and 1/2 Irish and I'M not ORANGE. I'm kind of like a smooth caramel color...look on line and look at other pics of her. She's as orange as all the other fake tans.
30. Zanna - July 28, 2006 1:55 PM
Oh, and my Irish relatives call me Chesty McBreasty.

Funny factoid, Miss Universe 2298, will be de-throned because she her hyper-vagina will create an all consuming mega-blackhole that will consume this reality.
Yes, my mankini gives me the abilty to see far into the future....like Dr. Who...if he wore a mankini.
you've been warned...
36. BarbadoSlim - July 28, 2006 2:15 PM
...also, my abilities haven't developed to the point that I check my posts for mistakes.
that *she* should be ignored.
37. McRican - July 28, 2006 2:26 PM
Ok. On further examination of other photos on the Miss Universe page, she does appear more orange in this photo than some of her regular photos. I'm wondering if it's the lighting or something because they have a picture in the same swimsuit where she just looks like a normal brown person. Why even bother with the self tanner though when you already make Miss Sweden look like a ghost? Oh well. Please understand my inherent need to defend "my people," I'm just McRican from the block, don't hold it against me.
38. McRican - July 28, 2006 2:29 PM
And Chesty McBreasty: They call me "Miss New Booty".... or "The Mexican" since some people I know refuse to acknowledge the difference between Mexico and PR.
39. UNWASHEDMASSES - July 28, 2006 2:31 PM
The orange hue is only the beginning of her gradual transition to luminescent yellow. She covets the Chiquita Banana role so famously portrayed by Carmen Miranda and believes (erroneously) that by actually looking like the fruit she betters her chances of getting the role.
40. sometimesboy - July 28, 2006 2:32 PM

i believe she eats....i think i can see a kernal of rice, turned sideways and lodged in her throat...she had a piece of couscous yesterday...and she licked all the salt off a cracker on tuesday...

I require about 8 shots of protein a day. That's what give me such white teeth, strong bones, nice figure and many, many male friends.
46. Fugurself - July 28, 2006 2:49 PM
@45, pinky, I have about 24 shots prepared for you....that should last you at least 3 days.
47. kandyk0119 - July 28, 2006 2:51 PM
Eating six small meals a day, caused me to lose over 10 lbs. of gut in a week, its just hard to keep up with eating that much, but very healthy if you eat the right foods.
Sorry SF but you apparently do not have a clue when it comes to nutrition!
48. Praz - July 28, 2006 3:00 PM
The Irish eat seven small meals a day, if you count a potato and a six-pack of guinness WAKKA WAKKA.
49. mommyd_23 - July 28, 2006 3:02 PM
frickin' idiot... the healthiest way to eat is eating like that. Instead of 2 or 3 big meals, eating 6 smaller meals/healthy snacks is what everyone should be doing. It actually HELPS with your weight(and your overall health). Obviously a nutritionist would not recmommend her eating 6 meal portions (of what YOU think they are) a day...that's ridiculous. Maybe you should try keepin' up to date with other things going on in this world, instead of just gossip and helping in the crusade of making ppl feel like shit if they are not 20 freakin' lbs.
And before you other ppl try to strain yourself thinking up comments about me being a fatty or something..i'm not fat and i take care of myself.
50. gammanormids - July 28, 2006 3:06 PM
#49, that's true. my mother is a nutricionist, and yes, her diets order to eat 6 times a day: 3 main foods and 3 extras. And you get to lose 3 sizes in about a month :P

The Kate Moss Diet (formerly known as the politically incorrect Auschwitz diet, but definitely the Supermodel's favorite...)
Breakfast - Diet green tea and toast crumbs - (purge)
Lunch - Drink the juice of boiled potato skins - (purge)
Dinner (the large meal) - one Tic-Tac washed down with a can of Red Bull and a vodka shot)
Cocaine is optional, but it never hurts to speed up the metabolism...cigarettes are ALWAYS ok...

THE *F* WORD!
you're going to get it for sure, now! somebody just today was BANNED from this site for using that word! i know, they told everybody. i'm telling.....
"i just got banned from this site..."
so many things wrong with that sentence.
and my mother is a non-nutritionist. she says it's a known fact that preservatives will help us live longer, and tequila has no carbs(great if you're on atkins).she also highly recommends eating bacon 6 times a day for a shiny coat. sawdust is the best natural fiber. did you know many parts of the pine tree are edible?
fucking gossip site, people! i get enough dietary tips from my doctor, thank you very much.
(my mom also says TCLTC. she knows all about it. because she knows everything)

74. ffordegroupie - July 28, 2006 8:53 PM
Actually eating six meals IS a good idea. Not large meals, hobbit-style. But little tiny meals to keep your body assured that it's not going to run out of food. Like a little piece of roasted chicken and some broccoli.
75. BEACRISTINA - July 28, 2006 9:54 PM
forget the damn dieting no meals a day,6 meals a day, 8 meals a day, 365 meals a day. nobody cares whats good for you&&whats not. shes malnoursihed but she looks good. she won. shes orange. shes happy. the end.
now lets stop this fitness talk.
76. HarryNipples - July 28, 2006 10:02 PM

How about a nice piece of rancid pork with some brown, slimy lettuce slathered with some sour half-and-half and to finish it off, a warm flat beer with some cigarette butts at the bottom of the bottle? (yikes, sounds like having dinner at Colin Farrell's place don't it?)
Christ Almighty, now we are swapping recipes...has everyone gone "Lance Bass" today???

I myself love the bacon grease diet as described by BunnyHumper in #71...
I drink 3 glasses of pure, fresh bacon grease a day - it keeps my coat real shiny, but I shit like a racehorse without warning, which is kind of inconvenient while waiting in line at the bank...
Also, it's just so cunty...
84. diamondprynzez - July 29, 2006 3:43 AM
Most of obese middle america would probably read that and say "I wish I hayd meh a nutrishunist thayt wud teyll meh to ate six tams a day!!!" and actually go rush to their neighborhood KFC several times because "mizz yunivarse duuuz it."
85. Pladijs - July 29, 2006 3:57 AM
People in Asia eat several times a day and stay positively thin. They think that our concept of sitting down for a meal three times a day is weird .
And of course they don't go to KFC all the time...
86. Semolina - July 29, 2006 4:47 AM
I'm a student in nutrition and yes, eating six times a day is a good idea because it keeps your blood sugar from plummeting down between meals and it keeps your metabolism going. But I just wonder why she hired a nutritionist- if you have no problems with eating etc why would you get one? Maybe it's diabetes or some other illness, but I thought it was weird that she said 'my nutritionist ordered me to...' like she can't think for herself what would be a good way of eating.

90. Lola7x7 - July 29, 2006 7:36 PM
Im puertorrican, and i know what she really try to talk about. She say that because you have to eat helthy snacks, as fruits, between your daily meals (breakfast, Lunch, dinner). To do not eat alot of unhealthy things on the meals to satisfied your appetatite. Because that could cause you became overweigth very fast.
The thing is when you are translating some thing you could say some errors, and i thinks that could happen to her.

actually eating 6 small meals a day is what a lot of people do to lose weight. she is incredibly skinny though.
