Victoria’s Secret angel Adriana Lima defended the headline-making liquid diet she recently admitted to.
Lima, according to OnTheRedCarpet.com, “sticks to liquids for nine days before the runway show and stops drinking water 12 hours prior, in order to purge water weight.”
The diet, accompanied by twice-daily workouts, was in preparation for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which took place Wednesday and will air on CBS Nov. 29.
OnTheRedCarpet.com, citing The Telegraph, said the 30-year-old supermodel’s liquid diet included protein shakes made with powdered eggs and a gallon of water daily.
"I know it's very intense but...I just have an athlete's mind and I appreciate doing this thing," Lima told E! News Wednesday.
Lima, according to OnTheRedCarpet.com, said Wednesday after the show, "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.”
This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show featured performances from Nicki Minaj, Adam Levine, Jay-Z and Kanye West.
