Adriana Lima: My Liquid Diet Isn’t Crazy

Want to look like Adriana Lima? Are you willing to go days without food? Lima’s liquid diet has been criticized by many health experts, but the fashion model says that her diet isn’t that crazy.

Probably because she doesn’t do it year round. The supermodel says that she only goes on the 9-day liquid diet prior to stepping on to the catwalk for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Her diet is less strict at other times of the year.

Lima told E! Online:

“Everybody is talking about my crazy diet. I know it’s very intense but…I just have an athlete’s mind and I appreciate doing this thing,” she told me. “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!”

Lima does double workouts during her nine day liquid diet, but E! Online reports that the supermodel took it a little easier this year because she didn’t want to be too muscular for the show.

Lima said:

“This year, even though my diet was intense, I took it a little bit easier on the working out so I won’t be as muscular.”

And after the show, Lima goes out for a big dinner to celebrate.

What do you think of Adriana Lima’s diet? Do you think the supermodel is taking her diet to dangerous extreme? Or is that really what it takes to be a Victoria’s Secret model.
