Adriana Lima is a Brazilian model, best known as a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2000, and as a spokesmodel for Maybelline cosmetics from 2003 to 2009. At the age of 15, Lima finished first in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" competition, and took second place the following year in the Ford "Supermodel of the World" competition before signing with Elite Model Management in New York City. Since 2005, Lima has ranked in the top five of Forbes' lists of the 20 highest-earning models in the world, and in 2006 ranked No.99 on the Forbes Celebrity 100. She is married to Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić.
Adriana Lima Diet:
"It is really intense, it's not really the amount of time you spend working out, it's the intensity: I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily," she told British newspaper The Telegraph.

The 30-year-old has been exercising daily since August, completing two workouts every 24 hours for the last few weeks.
She's seen a nutritionist to ensure she has as much energy as possible and drinks a gallon of water a day. When the show is nine days away she'll only consume protein shakes "no solids", then two days before she'll drink just a normal amount of water.
She'll have no liquid at all from 12 hours before she'll take to the runway.
"No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that," she explained.
Sophia Neophitou is the chief stylist for this year's show. She admires Adriana's dedication and explained the lavish outfits – sometimes including giant wings – are part of the reason the model works so hard.
"Adriana works really hard at it. It's the same as if you were a long distance runner. They are athletes in this environment - it's harder to be a Victoria's Secret model because no one can just chuck an outfit on you and hide your lumps and bumps," Sophia explained to the publication.
Although getting in shape for the show can be tough, Adriana loves being a part of it. The star's daughter Valentina will be two later this month and she hopes to make her proud.
"Actually, the Victoria's Secret show is the highlight of my life. Becoming an Angel, once I achieved that, it was a dream-come-true for me. And I know that after all this is done, when I sit down with my daughter one day we are going to look back and it's going to be very special,"
