ELLE Editor Does the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Diet

No doubt when the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show aired last week, your social network timelines were filled with self-deprecating remarks about how svelte the Angels were. And of course that’s not something out of the ordinary—those Angels have bodies that are works of art. But sometimes what we don’t think about is how much strenuous work goes into being really, really, really good-looking. ELLE editor Justine Harman recently challenged herself to go through a month of what the typical VS Angel goes through to prep for the yearly fashion show and boy did it make for an interesting story.

Justine did the whole shebang starting with a consultation with NYC-based nutritionist Dr. Charles Passler, the same food guru responsible for helping Adriana Lima lose some 50 pounds after she had her baby. Dr. Passler guided Justine on a very strict diet that seemed to consist of protein shakes, greens, and steamed veggies. And it worked for her—for about three days. She reported about how she binged after a while and in the end of the trial, Justine wound up right where she started. Which goes to show the amount of work it takes to be in Victoria’s Secret form—and that kind of training is surely longer than a month.

Perhaps it makes those of us who constantly compare our bodies to those heavenly beings feel a little bit better—you know, because it’s like if we just started jogging and then tried to compare ourselves to someone like Lolo Jones.
