Skinny Land

On November 9, Adriana Lima surely didn’t disappoint during her time at the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Insuring she is nothing short of perfection for her time on stage, Adriana stuck to a liquid-only diet for nine days prior to tonight’s gig – quitting her liquid intake all-together for the last 12 hours before the big event.

Getting a lot of pre-show grief after revealing her strict diet and workout routine, Adriana defended her drastic regimen, telling E!, “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!”

 Adriana Lima was spotted at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show After Party in New York City on Wednesday (November 9).

And though it may look like the model works out every day of her life and stays clear of any kind of carbs, Lima told E! News that she doesn’t always follow such an intense diet year-round.
