It’s not for nothing that the girls who walk in Victoria’s Secret fashion shows are called “angels.” And it’s not just about the flirtatious lacy wings on their shoulders. The figures of the models are so good that it seems that they were not created on our planet.
The recipe for such a magnificent body is quite simple, although it may require truly “angelic” patience to withstand it. We will talk about the popular “Victoria's Secret Model Diet”, thanks to which the girls look so beautiful.
Diet for food lovers
Surprisingly, if you decide to use this system, you won’t have to tediously count calories or eat only buckwheat porridge. The only food he will need to give up is sugar. Of course, smoked meats, salty foods and baked goods are also prohibited, but angels don’t eat such dishes anyway.
The meal plan consists of eating plenty of proteins and vegetables, weight loss occurs by reducing portions. Thanks to protein, muscle mass is preserved and there is a feeling of satiety. Of course, a complete refusal of glucose is fraught with mood swings and severe weakness. This is not included in the diet of Victoria's Secret models, but nutritionists advise eating at least a spoonful of natural honey a day. This will add energy and make it easier to tolerate a protein diet.
Herbal tea from sister Kim Kardashian
Rising Victoria's Secret star Kendall Jenner is the half-sister of Kim Kardashian, so she is always in the spotlight. Kendall loves herbal teas and can easily drink 10 cups a day, sometimes even more. Otherwise, she sticks to protein foods, vegetables and fruits.

Like Ambrosio, Jenner loves fast food and even shares her love with her followers by photographing herself eating burgers. It is she who often encourages her model friends to celebrate the end of the next show with a juicy fried cutlet.

Steak and lots of vegetables
With this diet, you should strictly adhere to the recommended menu. It is designed for a week, then the menu should be repeated. Thus, the entire Victoria's Secret Model Diet will take 13 days. Typically, protein diets give quick results, immediately noticeable on the waist. But such a diet cannot be called balanced, so this diet can only be used once a year.
These recommendations are not in the list of permitted products, but for better results you should limit salt and vegetable fats. Even healthy olive oil can be added just a little.
Beef, chicken and fish are best cooked on the grill using a minimum amount of fat. Fish and chicken can also be baked in the oven or cooked in a double boiler.
Vegetables should be fresh, juicy and pleasing to the eye. With a positive mood, it will be easier to adhere to the strict menu of the Victoria's Secret Model Diet.

The model starts her breakfast with a cup of coffee, but immediately after waking up she always drinks a glass of warm water with lemon juice. This allows you to start metabolic processes in the body and gives a boost of energy.

Diet Naomi Campbell
The first diet that is most often associated with the name Campbell is a drinking detox diet, which the model follows several times a year to remove excess water, tighten the skin and prepare for the most demanding activities.
In fact, the lemonade diet is only called that because it is not even a diet. For 10 days, Naomi drinks only a drink based on water, maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper.
To prepare this drink you will need:
- 0.25 liters of distilled water.
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice,
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
- 1/6 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
In addition to this drink, the model also drinks pure water and tea based on mint leaves. You should consume 12 glasses of Naomi's signature lemonade and plenty of water per day.

The Cindy Crawford diet was developed together with nutritionists. It can be classified as a soup diet, in which the main emphasis in the menu is on liquid dishes. In 14 days of such a diet you can lose 10 kg, but exactly how long the result will last is unknown.
The main dish on the menu is cabbage soup. In addition, you need to drink as much water as possible. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the diet is supplemented with vegetables, which are eaten in unlimited quantities. You can also drink a glass of yogurt.
On Thursday, the menu is supplemented with 0.5 kg of boiled chicken fillet.

- Dinner, 17:00 – tea or mineral water.
You need to eat this way for 10 days. Although the model rarely diets, she likes to practice fasting days. During this time, Kate eats vegetables, fruits or dairy products.
Diet of Natalia Vodianova
Natalia Vodianova's diet is simple and highly effective. In the morning, before 10 o'clock, you can eat foods that have a high calorie content. Breakfast should be hearty. At lunch they eat very little, and there is no dinner at all. This allows you to completely use up the energy reserve that was received in the morning. There will be nothing to be stored in fat.
At breakfast, the model drinks a large glass of herbal or rosehip infusion and eats cabbage salad. These products allow you to saturate your body with vitamins and fiber, which is necessary for normal intestinal function. The rest of the breakfast dishes can be anything you want. Even pies are no exception.
For lunch you need to eat a vegetable salad with lemon juice. Lunch time is 14:00, but no later.
For an afternoon snack, the model drinks a glass of rosehip infusion. Instead of dinner, she drinks 0.5 liters of herbal decoction. The diet is limited to this.

How to lose more kilograms?
Having decided on a strict diet, you want to achieve maximum results. The Victoria's Secret Angel Diet has little secrets that make this diet even more effective:
- There should be 2-3 times more side dish for meat than the meat itself.
- In addition to spinach and Chinese cabbage, you can also add celery, parsley, leeks and broccoli. The main thing is that the greens are varied and not boring.
- Make salad dressing with plenty of lemon juice and a few drops of quality olive oil. You can add ground pepper and a couple of sprigs of basil.
- Eat a handful of pine nuts or several walnuts every day. This will add some healthy fats to your protein diet.
- In addition to warm water without gas, you can drink herbal teas. Of course, natural, without flavorings.
In general, not only the effectiveness of the diet, but also its effect on the body depends on the quality of the selected products. Therefore, meat and fish must be appetizing and fresh.
Why is the diet called that?
The creation of the angel diet is attributed to Victoria's Secret nutritionists, who allegedly developed it so that models could quickly get in shape before important swimsuit and lingerie shows. It’s worth mentioning here that Victoria’s Secret “angels” claim in various interviews that they adhere to completely different nutritional systems. Some people prefer to eat a balanced diet, others like gluten-free or detox diets. It is impossible to say for sure that the angel diet is actually followed by the models. However, from somewhere rumors about her still started.
An important advantage of the diet for many is that it is made up of products available to everyone, so you don’t have to spend a lot.
Not a day without sports
One of the main keys to the success of the Victoria's Secret Model Diet is active exercise. With such an abundance of protein, constant training several times a day is simply necessary.
Each Victoria's Secret model has her own favorite types of sports: fitness, jogging, roller skating or cardio training. For example, Candice Swanepoel loves running and cycling, Adriana Lima does boxing and strength training, and popular beauty Alessandra Ambrosio does Pilates and yoga.
Before the show, the Victoria's Secret models' diet becomes even stricter. Often the diet consists only of protein shakes and water. Moreover, 10 hours before going on the podium, girls are asked to limit even their water. Then the relief of a trained body will be more noticeable.
Perfect hair according to Victoria's Secret Angels recipe
For the catwalk and filming, the girls’ “working” hairstyle is a sexy “I just got out of bed” style. The models’ personal preferences are simpler, but no less seductive: for example, Alessandra Ambrosio likes to wear her hair in a side braid, Miranda Kerr loves the classic ponytail, and Candice Swanepoel likes messy curls.
When it comes to hair care, Chanel Iman can be called a fan of dry shampoos. “When images constantly change during the day and there is no way to wash my hair, dry shampoos are a real salvation for me,” admits Iman. “These products are good at removing excess styling products and eliminating the effect of unwashed hair.” And her colleague Erin Heatherton calls strengthening hair masks with argan oil her beauty favorite.
Approximate training schedule
Most famous Victoria's Secret Angels work out in the gym 4-6 times a week. They willingly share recommendations from professional body trainers for keeping their bodies in good shape.
It’s better to start your workout by warming up your muscles - running, jumping rope, squats, or a fiery dance. Famous beauties Alessandra Ambrosio and Gisele Bundchen simply love to dance Zumba, and Adriana Lima is seriously involved in capoeira.
After the body has warmed up, you can move on to strength training. Particular attention should be paid to the buttocks and legs.
And, of course, abdominal exercises. You need to do the exercises for 10-20 minutes, at first you can not focus on complex twisting, doing basic exercises and the useful “Plank”.
The main thing is to move actively and not sit still. You don’t have to rush out to buy an annual gym membership; you can start with walks in the fresh air, jogging in the nearest park and jumping rope on the balcony. Then the weight will start to go away faster and your mood will improve.
Strict diet for Victoria's Secret models: Secrets and tips to help you lose weight
In addition to the adapted version of the diet, which you can see above, there is a more strict type of nutrition that models turn to when they need to lose a large number of kilograms or urgently 1-2 kilograms for a show. One of the most famous "angels", Adriana Lima, was on a strict diet after the birth of her second daughter in 2012. The Brazilian supermodel needed to get rid of the 20 extra pounds that she had gained during the months of pregnancy.
The diet for her was compiled by the American doctor Charles Pessler, and it was an individual nutrition plan that differed from the “angel diet” by 13 days. The prescribed diet included plenty of vegetables (broccoli, artichokes, cabbage), protein shakes, nuts, and low-calorie snack bars.
Having regained her slender figure, Adriana Lima now follows a low-carbohydrate diet and prefers foods with a low glycemic index.
“I control my portion sizes and try to get to the gym as soon as I have a free minute. True, this is a problem when you have a job and two children,” the supermodel shares.
As for Candice Swanepoel, the model loves “liquid calories” and superfoods.
“In the morning I drink a beauty smoothie, which consists of coconut and flaxseed oils, banana, peanut butter, protein and some food containing antioxidants - it could be blueberries or strawberries,” the model admits.
Sometimes Candace eats eggs, toast or a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast.
Model Lily Aldridge, on the contrary, strengthened her diet before the shows.
“To prepare for the Victoria's Secret show, you need the right fuel. Before the last show, I ate poached eggs, avocado and green tea for breakfast, quinoa salad for lunch, and had pasta for dinner,” says the model.
Model Josephine Skriver doesn't diet at all.
“Sometimes I eat breakfast twice and skip lunch. After a serious workout, I try to eat protein and some carbohydrates. When I'm on the go or want a quick snack, I eat oatmeal. I usually have eggs and vegetables for breakfast, and sometimes yogurt with granola,” the “angel” shares.
And the beautiful Miranda Kerr chose a diet based on her blood type, which she adheres to for many years. This diet helped the model get back into action almost immediately after the birth of her son. Miranda supplemented her diet with the “80/20” rule, according to which 80% of the diet consists of healthy foods, and 20% of excesses that are pleasing to the eye and stomach.
Backstage, Victoria's Angels are often spotted by paparazzi with green smoothies in their hands. Low-calorie vitamin mixtures help models regain strength during breaks: they say that 12 hours before the show, “angels” should limit the consumption of any liquid so that their bodies look more prominent in luxurious lingerie. Truly, the angel diet can be a real challenge, but what can you not do for the sake of beauty.
So, in fact, there are no special diets for the most famous models. Most of them have a naturally slender body, so these women do not need special diets.
The right products
According to reviews of the Victoria's Secret Model Diet, you can lose 4-8 kilograms in two weeks. More often, the result depends on the initial weight and sports load. Most of the weight is lost in the first week, the next 6 days should help consolidate the results.
There are no recommendations as such for quitting this diet. Gradually you can add low-fat fermented milk products, nuts and honey. Most professional models already adhere to the principles of proper nutrition.
The diet of Victoria's Secret models consists of vegetable and fruit salads, low-fat varieties of sea fish, dietary veal and chicken. There is always a lot of natural dairy products, nuts and fresh juices. The main thing is no processed foods or carbonated drinks. It is also better to avoid ready-made juices; they contain too many preservatives and flavor enhancers.
Despite the fact that the Victoria's Secret model diet consists of three meals, successful models recommend smaller meals. It is better to eat 5-6 times a day in small portions.
Don't skip breakfast; it gives your body a boost of energy for the whole day. For example, one of the Victoria's Secret "angels", Doutzen Kroes, prefers a glass of citrus juice and an omelet with spinach for breakfast. Or oatmeal with fruit, the main thing is that breakfast should be hearty and healthy.
But dinner should be finished 4 hours before bedtime and made as light as possible. After all, it is during sleep that the body slows down its metabolism and extra pounds begin to be deposited.
Angel Diet Rules
To achieve the desired result, you must strictly adhere to the diet conditions:
- before starting the diet, you should exclude all prohibited foods: sugar, alcoholic and carbonated drinks and salt;
- daily it is necessary to maintain water balance with 2-2.5 liters of ordinary water without gas;
- It is better to avoid vegetable oil and replace it with lemon juice in salads. As a last resort, limit the consumption of olive oil to 1 tsp. per day;
- build a diet on the principle of two light breakfasts, a light lunch and a hearty dinner;
- The “angels” diet is prohibited during pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergic reactions to menu components, gastrointestinal diseases;
- To get a slim figure with beautiful relief, you need to combine diet with physical exercise, such as aerobics. It is also worth adding a weekly drainage massage.
You need to complete the diet smoothly, gradually increasing the calorie content and amount of food. A sudden change in diet can lead to negative consequences for the digestive system.
The benefits and harms of a protein diet
Reading the Victoria's Secret Model Diets menu, I really want to take advantage of these recommendations. No special restrictions, delicious meat and salads. But in reality, how beneficial are protein diets and can everyone try them?
The fiber contained in the daily menu helps remove toxins from the body and improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Vegetable salads and fruits for dessert saturate the body with vitamins, and tomatoes and carrots improve complexion. Eliminating carbohydrates and active proteins helps improve metabolism and maintain good shape after completing the diet.
However, unusually large amounts of protein foods can damage the functioning of the liver and kidneys. After all, if animal protein is not burned during active training, it begins to decompose and poison the body. Therefore, training and sports activities with the Victoria's Secret Diet of Angels, and with other protein diets, are simply necessary.
People who have kidney and liver diseases or metabolic disorders should not try this method of losing weight. In general, before starting any strict diet, you should get tested and consult with a general practitioner.
Cherie Soria's Recipes
For girls who are vegetarians or simply don’t like a lot of animal protein, this diet will be completely uninteresting. As an alternative, you can use the recipes of experienced chef Cherie Soria. A fan of veganism and healthy eating, she published the book “Angel Food: Healthy Recipes for Divine Bodies,” which became popular all over the world.
Cherie worked as a chef for over forty years, constantly experimenting and trying to achieve new flavors. The result was recipes for low-calorie dishes, vegetable soups, dietary desserts and delicious homemade cheese and yogurt.
If you follow the book’s recommendations, you will not only maintain a normal weight, but also significantly improve your body’s health.
How much weight should you lose?
Looking at the girls demonstrating luxurious lingerie and swimsuits from the Victoria's Secret brand, it is noticeable that they are not excessively thin. The angelic parameters of Victoria's Secret models are more likely the result of active training than refusal of food.
It is simply impossible to remain so graceful and beautiful on the podium if the body, due to a strict diet, does not receive the substances necessary for life.
The Victoria's Secret Angel Diet has absolutely nothing to do with depriving yourself of essential foods. The best effect comes from proper split meals, walks and active sports.
"Beach Hair"
Hair falling loosely over the shoulders, slightly disheveled, as if a girl had just returned from a beach walk - the result of careful styling by an experienced stylist. At the Victoria's Secret show, a whole team of professionals works on the angels' hairstyles to create that same careless disheveled effect.
You can recreate it at home like this: wash and dry your hair, then selectively curl the strands with thick curling irons. In this case, each time the strands need to be wrapped in different directions and held for no more than 2 seconds. then lightly tousle the curls with your fingers and cover with varnish.
A little tasty
Surprisingly, Victoria's Secret's perfectly slim top models are not averse to occasionally treating themselves to unhealthy but beloved foods. For example, Miranda Kerr, who is in excellent shape, occasionally tries a slice of pizza or a portion of French fries. And the delightful Rosie Huntington-Whiteley admitted in one of her interviews that she loves sausage rolls and bacon. Although, when you see this slender girl, even the thought of bacon seems impossible.
The meaning of a healthy lifestyle is not a total rejection of everything tasty or weighing every portion, but daily care of your body, health and mood.
Fake tan
Since girls go on the podium practically naked at a grand show, the appearance and condition of their skin are very important. The tone must be perfect - says Jimmy Coco, tanning expert for Victoria's Secret models. It is this wizard who makes sure that everyone’s body is covered with an even bronze tan.
A special spray is used for this. Some models begin to apply it to the skin 1-2 days before the show, others - just before the fashion show. It is important not only to choose a tone that would look as natural as possible. With the help of contouring, specialist Jimmy masterfully hides minor imperfections and emphasizes the advantages of a girl’s body.
Jimmy's main secrets: darkened vertical lines along the stomach and back, as well as contouring the chest and buttocks. On the contrary, the protruding parts of the roundness need to be lightened. And be sure to add a moisturizing gel with shimmering particles to the spray itself.
