ok 1 models are skinny, but I guess it depends where you live. I liv and SC and the agents here want you 2 b a size 2,4 and the same 4 NY but they also accept size 0's! thats incredibly skinny, almost like you have to born that way. im a size 4 and and o yeah your kinda short to b a model. I thnk they usually strt at 5'8-5'11! but good luck

Well, I suggest that you dont HAVE to be skinny to be a model, its about ability, passion and other htings that are form inside. Appearance isnt neccisaily a factor.

"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"
 
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.
