14 DAY TRIAL // Just recently, Adriana Lima caused a media frenzy when she spoke to the media about the diet she goes on before the annual Victoria's Secret lingerie show, saying she basically starves herself . She's now recanting the previous comments.
As we also reported at the time, Lima said that, 9 days before the show, she usually goes on a liquid diet, intensifying her workouts to twice a day, every day of the week.
Then, 12 hours before the show, the model stops drinking shakes and water altogether, to make sure she's not bloated when she walks on the catwalk in lingerie.
In a new interview cited by The Huffington Post, Lima claims her words were taken out of context: she doesn't starve herself before a show, she just takes better care of herself and minds her eating habits more.
Afraid that her words might be taken as guidelines by other girls, who would be thus putting their health at risk, Lima stresses that the only thing she does before a show is to eat less.
But she eats either way, she says.
“I have my Starbucks coffee right there… it was a misunderstanding,” the gorgeous model says.
Since she makes her living off her body and is mostly wearing very little clothing, as is the case with the Victoria's Secret show, she can't afford to have an off day, but she wouldn't go as far as to not eat.
“You can’t eat everything, of course… I eat healthy and work out a lot,” Adriana adds.
She concludes the statement with a message to other girls: don't starve yourselves, be healthy.
“Those teenagers out there, don’t go starving yourself or only drinking liquids. Don’t do that please!” the mother of one says.
Word online has it Lima also decided to recant her previous comments because she got too much heat from the online community and even her own fans for apparently promoting a very unhealthy lifestyle.
