Supermodel Adriana Lima went on a crash diet before this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The weight loss regimen is so extreme that she even added a disclaimer message for teens.
For nine days leading up to the big show, Lima worked out twice a day and drank only protein drinks. She ate no solids, and then, 12 hours before the show, “no liquids at all so you dry out.”
She claims she can sometimes lose up to eight pounds. Aware that she is a role model for others, she cautioned, “Those teenagers out there, don’t go starving yourself or only drinking liquids. Don’t do that please.”
In response to her critics, she admits, “I know it’s very intense but … I just have an athlete’s mind and I appreciate doing this thing. It’s not that I do crazy diets throughout the year. I just do it for this particular thing. After this show, I become normal again.”
Adriana is married to NHLer Marko Jaric and has a daughter Valentina, 2.
