Bar Refaeli was recently named the hottest woman of the year by Maxim cover but, if you can believe it, she's not letting it get to her head. In the latest issue of the same magazine that bestowed such honor on her, she talks about the body that earned it for her.

The supermodel might be one of the highest paid in the industry, but she insists she's not the one to starve herself to stay relevant and in demand.

Instead, Bar works out a lot to maintain her figure because she doesn't want to give up on what she considers one of the best things in life: tasty food.

“My stomach is hard, and I’m very proud of it. I still eat, though. To me that’s one of the best things in life,” she says.

The spread that comes in Maxine definitely confirms that: not only is Bar's tummy hard but her entire body is the very definition of insane, a perfect blend of curvy and fit.

With all that, Bar remains very down to earth.

“I think it’s the title I’m going to be most proud of until I die. When I’m older, I’m going to walk around and say, 'Hey, I’m Bar Refaeli. I was No. 1 Most Beautiful in Maxim!' It’s an honor you never want to forget,” she gushes.

Believe it or not, Bar doesn't get asked out on dates much and, no, it's not because guys find approaching one of the most famous supermodels very intimidating.

“I think part of the reason is that I’m not out much. I’m usually at a photo shoot or going to sleep early. I don’t really have a chance to meet people other than businessmen on planes. They’re all married and much older, though,” she says.

She also reveals she appreciates good teeth in a guy – and a sense of humor too. At the end of the day, though, Bar would like it if guys trying to hit on her would just act natural.
