Cecilia says:

Eat a balanced meal.

Body image is a huge topic in ballet and I am here to tell you to eat a healthy, balanced meal. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

I've tried being vegan and cutting out foods because a director told me to lose weight, but when I feel and look my best is when I don't worry about eliminating foods and I enjoy eating. Find a great food blog or cookbook and fuel yourself with whole foods.
