Having an ideal, flawless body that is admired both by men and women is every woman’s dream, yet this isn’t that easy task. Although some models may reveal that they eat French fries or burgers and it doesn’t make difference, we all know that it’s not true and so does gorgeous Adriana Lima. The 30-year-old stunning Victoria’s Secret Angel, who is also mother of one, reveals her secrets on looking always so amazing on the catwalk and how she’s getting ready for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
The Brazilian beauty reveals that it’s far not the good genes that result into a killer body, but a serious workout and diet plan. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is one of the biggest and most glamorous events of the year, and everyone leaves their business and sits in front of the TV screen to watch the picture-perfect bodies of the Angels. This places a lot of pressure on the models, as they should do their best to look simply perfect during that show. Adriana Lima isn’t shy to admit that she goes to a dramatic length to ensure her stunning look at the show.
According to her statement, a day before the show the Brazilian beauty takes two workout sessions, as well as a drastic diet. Adriana says that she uses protein shakes made from powdered eggs and drinks a gallon of water a day. However, 12 hours prior to the show, she doesn’t drink anything at all: “No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that.”
Moreover, for 9 days before the show, she doesn’t eat any solid food and works out hard doing boxing, weight lifting and tone down at the same time. She also reveals that she started an intense workout once a day in August and doubled it three weeks prior to the show. She says: “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.”
However, she admits that the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is the highlight of her life and all her effort are worth it. “Actually, 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. And I know that after all this is done, when I sit down with my daughter one day we are going to look back and it’s going to be very special.”
No wonder, every model dreams of becoming an Angel, yet as Adriana’s workout and diet plans reveal it’s really extremely hard and requires a strong will, a will a real VS Angel has!
