Adriana Lima has revealed that to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel you need much more than a pretty face and a bejeweled bra.
In an interview with The Telegraph, the 30-year-old mother of one has divulged that preparation for a Victoria’s Secret runway show involves activities far more taxing than spray tanning.
Lima, like many other Victoria’s Secret Angels, works out once a day, then increases her exercise regime to twice daily as the show comes closer.
“It is really intense, it's not really the amount of time you spend working out, it's the intensity.
“I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily”, said Lima.

Lima’s exercise routine goes hand-in-hand with a strict diet.
The Telegraph reports that Lima “sees a nutritionist, who has measured her body's muscle mass, fat ratio and levels of water retention. He prescribes protein shakes, vitamins and supplements to keep Lima's energy levels up during this training period. Lima drinks a gallon of water a day. For nine days before the show she will drink only protein shakes - "no solids". The concoctions include powdered egg.
“Two days before the show she will abstain from the gallon of water a day, and "just drink normally". Then, 12 hours before the show she will stop drinking entirely.”
Lima insists that it’s all worth it though, “Any model in this world would love to be an Angel.
“The Victoria's Secret show is the highlight of my life. Becoming an Angel, once I achieved that, it was a dream come true for me”, continued Lima.

All these supermodels are nothing but a bunch of egos on a stick and they are ridiculously overpaid and are highly overrated, theres nothing great and theres nothing special about them and oneday they are going to get old and when they get old their attractive bodies and looks will fade away and they will be old wrinkly saggy and hagid and they will end up a bunch of has beens and most of them will also end up lonely and most of them will die lonely aswell.
ReplyAs mentioned by another poster , nothing unusual about a diet like this if you are training , body builders go though far more , Its just about reaching your PEAK for the occassion . Of course FATTIES will just continue to make excuses ....... She looks incredible , and she has been with Child . Look learn and OBSERVE ...horrid FATTIES .
Replysorry but she doesn't look that good to me. She looks hard and sinewy, she has the body of a man with boobs.. nothing feminine about it at all. UGH!
ReplyIt's a type of liquid fasting which she uses with exercise to keep her metabolism up. She looks healthy so along with the vitamins and supplements from her nutritionist, I'm sure it's nutritionally balanced. Fasting detoxes the body of whatever is built up, boosts your energy, reduces your weight and gets your skin glowing. Considering a lot of food out there is full of fat, sugar and salt and isn't that nourishing, she's probably doing alright except for all the social and pleasure aspects of food she may be missing out on.
Reply@Realist, I laughed so hard when I read your comment. I'm surprised at all the thumbs down, i'm sure you meant it in a comical way.
