Born to an Arab-Christian family, she has broken stereotypes by becoming a successful professional fashion model from the Arab community.
Huda Naccache, a stunning fashion model walks us through her incredible professional journey in an exclusive interview with Namita Nayyar, President Women Fitness.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You were the first Arab model to appear on the cover of an Arabic language magazine in a bikini and were Israel’s representative to the Miss Earth beauty pageant in Thailand in December 2011. Tell us more about this incredible journey of yours?
Ms. Huda Naccache: Well… doing the bikini photo shoot was one of the things most of the models do. In retrospect the media around the world made a big deal from this photo shoot. For me it was just another day of doing what I love – modeling. But I chose to look at the positive side from all that buzz – I broke taboos. And people around the world got to see that it’s totally fine if Arab Christian girl is modelling in a bikini.
The Miss Earth 2011 beauty pageant took place in the Philippines. Because of the floods in Thailand. It was an exciting experience for me and such an honor to represent Israel – one of the 84 countries there. I got to know so many beautiful girls from all around the globe. We experienced a lot of things together. Had so much fun and happily remained in contact and meet once in a while.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Introduce us to a day in the life of “Huda Naccache”?
Ms. Huda Naccache: Usually I wake up early in the morning, I pray, then start my workout. When I’m done, I eat breakfast, go to work. It changes between fittings, photo shoots, fashion shows and studying texts for acting auditions. I try my best to have my lunch in between with a friend. At evening I like to go back home. Watch a movie or just have a nice conversations with my family / boyfriend. And eat dinner with them.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You were one of the contestants on the seventh season of the Israeli reality program Survivor. How was your experience on the show?
Ms. Huda Naccache: My experience at Survivor was really tough and interesting at the same time. The shooting was in Honduras. This adventure brought me closer to God and myself as a human being in this world. I felt hungry, tired, and cold the whole time. I missed my family so much, words can’t even explain. I had to be mentally strong in so many difficult situations at this crazy game. And I’m so proud of myself that I made it to the top 7. (The show started with 18 contestants. with 4 finalists) I’m grateful to God that I went through this adventure and learned to appreciate the very little things in our lives that a lot of times we take for granted. But I suffered so much from mosquitoes bites!! (I still have few scars on my legs).
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What exercises compromise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Huda Naccache: I do HIIT, TRX, cardio and strength training. HIIT + TRX twice a week. Strength training twice a week. And cardio 2-3 times a week.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Huda Naccache: I just eat healthy and drink two liters of water a day. No white carbs! No sodas! 3 meals a day, fruits 2-3 times a day. And a lot of vegetables. For example, it’s very important to eat a meal rich in protein after working out. I don’t drink coffee. I drink green tea without sugar. I have cheat meals once/twice a week. Balance you know… It’s very important to listen to your body and if you feel like you want that piece of cake once in a while, so you can have it. And your body will cooperate with you much better.

Ms. Huda Naccache: I’m blessed with facial skin that doesn’t need much care. I make sure to wash it with facial soap made of natural ingredients. Apply facial cream (made of natural ingredients as well) at fall\winter. And sunscreen – all seasons of the year – super important!
About my hair, I just wash it with shampoo, apply nourishing hair masks and nourishing hair oil. And cut my hair edges every 3-4 months, so it can grow up healthier… Never colored it!!!
