Cindy Crawford - Healthy Mother Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford wants to set a healthy example to her daughter.

The supermodel - who has two children, Presley, 10, and eight-year-old Kaia, with husband Rande Gerber - is keen to show Kaia how important it is to have a balanced diet and not to feel guilty about indulging in the odd treat.

Talking about her diet, Cindy said: "For breakfast, I'll eat oatmeal and blueberries and enjoy a salad with chicken or shrimp for lunch. At dinner, I'll serve up fish and vegetables.

"But I do have a little chocolate mixed in between meals from time to time. I have a daughter, so I eat consciously because I want her to see me eat healthy and not think that she can't have dessert ever. I think it's a bad example for her."

The 44-year-old beauty says she tries to be good the majority of the time and believes undergoing regular exercise helps maintain her svelte figure.

She told UsMagazine.com: "I try to be 80 per cent good, 80 per cent of the time. We all know when we're blowing it, but as long as you don't do that all the time..."

"We live in Malibu, so there's a lot of great hiking there. I work out with a trainer three times a week."
