Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What is your motivation to take a multi-faceted personality of a fitness model, physique professional competitor, personal trainer and nutritional expert?
Ms. Syleena Adams:
It’s not so much my motivation but the heart and passion I have for what I do! I’m motivated to make a change in peoples lives and spread the knowledge and information of a healthy lifestyle for them and their family. I’m almost done with my doctorate in TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, for acupuncture and alternative medicine. So its my life, my world to be healthy and share the feeling of what its like to feel good!!!
I feel energized and happy, always wanting to dance around and smile and that comes from within, being healthy inside and out. That means eating the right food. How many times have you eaten something, pizza or fast-food or even doughnuts and felt heavy, sluggish or crashed from it? Why would I or anyone else want to feel that way? Yes, sugars and carbs act like drugs to the brain which is why I and I’m sure many others have had withdrawal symptoms. I had headaches, sever fatigue and cravings when I first started changing my diet and I took a good 6 months before I started to feel normal on the kind of diet I’m on now. But I hardly ever crave cheat meals and I feel amazing, better than ever before. That is my motivation of a multi-faceted personality and I have fun. I love the camera, I love being on stage and I love seeing what I can do next or better!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Syleena Adams:
Hahaha well thank you so much for the compliments! So I’ll be honest I’m a bit of a beauty queen at heart. Not the way you would think of as wearing make up all time and what not. I have a routine I do every night, quite simple but I’ve done it since I was a young girl. So I’m not big into a lot of special products, I’m the type where the simpler the better.
I use coconut oil every night before bed so yes I’m a greasy ball but coconut oil soaks in faster and better than other oils. Secondly I use coconut oil for a mouthwash as well. Kind of odd to some but its called oil pulling if you’re not familiar with it. Lastly, I do put coconut oil in my hair overnight once a week as well. As far as a face wash, scrub and moisturizer I’m picky due to my eczema and sensitive skin. I use dove to wash, baking soda as a scrub and eucerin cream for moisturizing. I don’t put coconut oil on my face because I tend to break out more.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Fitness modelling is about bold photo shoots. What advice you wish to give to the women of today to be body confident in order to do such bold modeling?
Ms. Syleena Adams:
Everyone has some kind of body confident issue, if you don’t you’re simply not human. Perfection is not humanity. Why must I say that? What is perfect? What is right? What is wrong? It’s the unknown, and you cant fear the unknown, you cant define it and why does it matter?. At a point, it became not so much confidence I grew but appreciation for what I’ve worked for and the sweat, time, dedication and even talking to myself at times to build my figure.
Happiness is confidence, it comes down to, be happy with who you are and what you’ve done. Nobody knows your story, your past, what you’ve overcome. For all you know the person who placed last at your show could have lost 50 or 70 lbs and achieved a goal they never imagined! That’s beauty and confidence. I say go for it and give it your all, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks as long as you’re having fun. So my advice would be to smile and enjoy it, why waste the energy on pensiveness.
