Know the Most Popular Diet of 2012 (According to Google)
Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima wowed audiences at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show when she showed off the lingerie line just six weeks after giving birth. Calling it, “the biggest challenge of (her) life,” Lima told CBS This Morning she put on over 40 lbs. of baby weight while pregnant that she needed to shed. Lima has always been fairly honest about how she gets her body runway ready. She told the Telegraph in 2011 that she sees a nutritionist, has her body’s muscle mass, fat and water retention measured regularly and drinks and gallon of water a day. Nine days before the big show, she avoids solids and sticks to only protein shakes. Two days before she stops drinking the gallon of water and drinks normally, and 12 hours before hitting the catwalk she stops drinking entirely. To get those toned muscles, she also works out for two or more hours a day.

Miranda Kerr Diet
Model Miranda Kerr walks the runway during the 2012 Victoria’s Secret fashion show November 7, 2012 in New York.
Model Miranda Kerr, wife of actor Orlando Bloom, says she’s always been passionate about her health and wellness, telling Harper’s Bazaar she lives by the philosophy that “beauty starts from within and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.” She credits her family for teaching her the “80/20” rule: 80% good, 20% indulgent. Kerr also sticks to the Dr. Peter D’Adamo Blood Type Diet. The diet uses blood groups to determine the best food choices a person should make, basing these options on the “immunologic relationships between specific foods and a person’s blood type and their role in controlling inflammation, versus traditional model of caloric restriction,” says Ann Quasarano, PR director for D’Adamo Personalized Nutrition. Critics of the diet argue there isn’t enough science to back up the recommendations. “I know of no plausible rationale behind the diet,” Dr. John Foreyt, a researcher at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston told WebMD.
