David Gandy: His quick protocol to get a body which he can fearlessly bare, his great-going career and his barren love life: Get to know it here!
‘Salt and water depletion’ technique
The muscular British model David Gandy and Italian model Bianca Balti have been the face of Dolce and Gabbana’s Light Blue fragrance range.
They had shot together for the Company for a campaign in 2006. David Gandy has been their brand ambassador and was on board for their other multiple campaigns and international tours.
Recently they reunited in Capri, Italy to shoot for a campaign for a reboot of Light Blue, richer versions of the original fragrance which have been named ‘Light Bleu Eau Intense’ and ‘Light Bleu Eau Intense Pour Homme’.
It was a two-day shoot captured on the Faraglioni rocks by photographer Mario Testino. It depicted a sensual union of the couple on the cliffs and dimly-lighted Italian caves.
The couple wore revealing white skimpy swimsuits. David Gandy said that for him a perfect ultimate holiday is away from his home in London on the Amalfi Coast or Positano in Italy.
David Gandy also felt that he needed to alter his workouts to get a body fit enough to be in swimwear. This was because he is 37 years now, his body metabolism has changed and hence he needed to work harder to recover a hot body.
David Gandy also confessed that he had to drastically change his diet for the shoot. He used the tactics of ‘salt and water depletion’.
He said that he depletes his body of salt two days prior to the shoot. This helps to slim down his body since salt only bloats the body. One day before the shoot, he dehydrates himself to the extent that he consumes only one glass of water that day.
He usually takes a boiling hot water bath the night before. Once the shoot is over, David Gandy indulges in whatever food anyone gets including pasta, bread, and Limoncello in Italy.
David Candy’s technique to have a swimsuit-ready body appears to work for him, but such crash and extreme dieting should be carried out only with experienced hands with the advice of the doctor.

His not-so-successful romantic life

In May 2012, he initiated a romantic involvement with English model Sarah Ann Macklin. This too was temporary and by 2013 they separated. In two years in 2015, David Gandy and Mollie King admitted to being together again.
However, by 2016 they broke up. David Gandy is single and we hope that he finds the right partner soon. He, however, is unperturbed by all the negativities in his love life.
He spends his time at home with family, close friends, and his cute little pup Dora. Recently, David Gandy attended the Muddy Dog Challenge with Dora. This participation was to aid raise funds for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
