Adriana Lima Cuts Out Carbs, Works Out Two Hours Daily to Prep for Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

>> Doutzen Kroes told Flare last month that before walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, she cuts out carbohydrates and sugar from her diet and follows a juice fast; Adriana Lima, too, admitted yesterday that she makes sacrifices to get ready for the event. Starting six weeks before the taping, she goes on a "zero carb" diet and spends two hours in the gym every day: "I’m doing a combination of different protein shakes — it’s called Metagenics. And also, I only can eat green vegetables, everything grilled or steamed, or four ounces of any type of protein." [The Cut]

As the retailer continues to tease the collection — which includes clothing, jewelry, hats, sunglasses, handbags, footwear and even lipstick — one thing is guaranteed: we'll get a better look on Nov. 2, when H&M posts a short film of the collection, directed by Mike Figgis, on its website. A fashion show for the collection is also planned for Nov. 18 at The Pierre Hotel in New York, and will include some one-off customized looks to be auctioned online afterward, with proceeds going to Unicef. The collection hits stores a few days after, on Nov. 23.
