Adriana Lima Defends Her 'Liquid Diet'

By Michael Lopez

There is no denying that Brazilian Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima is in incredible shape. But the way she achieves her perfect figure has drawn some criticism. Adriana had recently been quoted as saying that she sticks to a liquid diet to stay thin. But when speaking to E! this week, she was quick to clarify that statement.

"Everybody is talking about my crazy diet," she said. "I know it's very intense but...I just have an athlete's mind and I appreciate doing this thing. 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!"

Obviously that description makes more sense. The idea that you could live off liquids full time seems a little drastic. Lima went on to emphasize that she only goes to "liquids only" nine days before a modeling show.

Of course to some dietitians, that may seem unhealthy too. But Adriana assured her fans that once she's done on the catwalk, her tradition has been to eat a hearty meal at New York's posh Milos restaurant.

Do you think the Victoria's Secret models are too thin? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
