The VS Fashion Show Diet

Have you ever wondered how to get the body of a scantily clad Victoria’s Secret runway Angel?
 
Just don’t eat. Or drink. Oh, and try not to die while you’re in the process of forsaking your vital human needs.
 
Model Adriana Lima recently spilled the beans about her insane runway preparation to the Telegraph. In addition to working out daily (sometimes twice daily), she also consumed protein shakes and drank gallons of water a day. For nine days before The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,no solids are allowed-just concoctions composed of powdered egg. Two days before the show, the gallon of water a day is nixed from her regimen. Twelve hours before the show, she stops drinking entirely.
 
How do they even find the strength to waltz down the runway? I think I’m going to go eat a cheeseburger now.
 
Collegiettes™, do you think this pre-show routine is insane? Let us know below!
