DALLAS, Apr 6, 2004/ FW/ --- At the recently concluded Mercedes Benz Shows at Smashbox Studios, Tyra Banks’ ‘America’s Next Top Model’ took center stage as the winner and contestants of the dramality series continuously face the cameras.

The timing was perfect with the show just ending and the gala party was held in Los Angeles just a week before fashion week started.

Yoanna House, this season’s winner has captured the imagination of the public. Standing 5 ft 11 inches and weighing 134 pounds, she lost 50 pounds just a year before the competition so that she can pursue her fashion dream.

During Los Angeles Fashion Week, Yoanna walked the runway for Sue Wong and Petro Zillia. Backstage, she was caught munching on the Total Protein cereal from General Mills, a cereal created for low-carb lifestyle.

So, is Yoanna the new spokesperson for Total Protein? If General Mills has not signed her up yet, they should. Yoanna’s story of losing 50 pounds within a year is a heartwarming story. And her ability to maintain her weight is really the key.

Other fashionistas who were caught on camera crunching the new cereal include Mercedes Scelba-Shorte, runner-up for ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ Nicky Hilton and Kimberly Stewart.
