Model Carol Alt turns 51 today: the skinny on her raw food diet radiance

Turning 51 today, model Carol Alt still looks as photogenic as when, at 48, she posed nude. She also bared the truth about her youthfully slim figure: a raw food diet that, she told a People magazine reporter, helped her lose 12 pounds in 2 weeks.

Carol credits her Playboy-cover body to a rigorous raw-food diet that focuses on raw vegetables, raw milk cheeses,and sashimi. She told the reporter that after following the diet for just a few weeks, "My body started changing and I got tight."

In fact, Carol is so enamored of her raw food diet results that she's authored two books to help others acheive that model-perfect physique: The Raw 50: 10 Amazing Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, and Snacks for Your Raw Food Lifestyle, and Eating in the Raw: A Beginner's Guide to Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, and Looking Younger the Raw-Food Way.
