Like us on Facebook Within 12 hours before her debut in the show, Brazil-born Lima actually abstains from water completely. “No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that,” she told the Telegraph. Lima said she only does this once per year leading up to the annual fashion show, which eight million people reportedly watch each year. “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,” she said. Lima has gotten a ton of criticism about her “no solid food” diet for the show, but she has since made a public service announcement to teens so they don't try it at home, as Lima has professional dieticians helping her throughout her strict regimen. “Those teenagers out there, don't go starving yourself or only drinking liquids. Don't do that please,” she told ET Canada. Adriana Lima, mother of 2-year-old Valentina and wife of Marko Jaric, told ET Canada her comments in the Telegraph were mistaken, as she gnawed on coffee and a piece of cake during the second interview. “I have my Starbucks coffee right there … it was a misunderstanding,” Lima said.
