Ever wondered what Victoria Secret models do to stay slim? Well, the
answer might leave you utterly miserable as it’s left two YouTubers who
chose to try it. Candace Lowry and Michelle Khare decided to try out the
grueling diet and they documented the experience.
Candace and
Michelle came together to create a video where they spent only four days
eating like the famous models. In spite of the warning from a dietician
who said
“I wouldn’t recommend this diet to anyone”, the women went
ahead and by the time they were done, they branded the experience “not
fun, smart, safe, any of the above.”
Both women first started out
with the two “normal” days of eating for the models, then the last two
days they did the grueling pre-show liquid. For the first ‘regular diet’
day, the ladies started off with a breakfast of oatmeal, egg whites,
orange slices and yogurt in little portions. Dinner was a meal of
broccoli, quinoa and what looks to be chicken breast, also in little
portions. Mind you, they had to combine this diet with rigorous
exercising. By the second day, Michelle was already complaining of
feeling very tired after a day of training, and by the third day, she
was struggling against a terrible mood brought on by starving herself on
the liquid diet.
The scariest part of the diet is the pre-show
liquid diet which all the models are expected to stick to starting nine
days before the show. This diet was made public by VS model, Adriana
Lima, in an interview back in 2011. During those nine days, Adriana
claimed that she would drink only protein shakes made with powdered egg
and a gallon of water, and then two days before showtime she would cut
back on the gallon of water per day, and then in the 12 hours leading up
to the show would consume nothing at all, not even water.
By
the time both ladies were done with the experimental diet, they
concluded that it was not something they would wish on their worst
enemy. They agreed that the days of ‘normal’ diet were actually
examples of a good base of a healthy diet. However, they advised against
the liquid diet.
“This diet is terrible and I wouldn’t wish it
on my worst enemies,” Michelle said, adding that the diet caused her to
have trouble sleeping and was not sustainable for nine full days.
“It’s
not a healthy way to lose weight and it’s strange to me because… no
one as a regular person would go through this and these models are
supposed to represent the people buying the clothes,” she said.
Below is the video documenting their experience.
