RUNNING ON EMPTY
In 2012 Adriana Lima revealed she’d been on a liquid-only diet for nine days pre-show to help shed her baby weight. There was, justifiably, a mini-uproar that led to Lima having to issue a warning to girls not to follow her example. Although he refuses to discuss her case, Dr Passler does tell me: ‘If you’re properly supervised, 1,000 calories per day on a liquid-only diet is sufficient, provided you have enough amino acids, protein, fat and minerals.’
I’m relieved that the initial stage of my nutritional plan comes (mostly) in solid form. But my eyes pop at the powders, pills and protein supplements Dr Passler sends me, all costing a small fortune.
There’s a vitamin and mineral complex, digestive enzymes and BCAA’s (branched-chain amino acids – to ensure my body burns fat not muscle for fuel) and even SeroSyn, a supplement designed to support ‘positive mood’.
I’m put on a high-fat, high-protein, low-carb diet. That means chicken, fish or beef with almost every meal. If I can’t face meat, I have the equivalent amount of protein in eggs (three equals about a portion of chicken). Anything with sugar in it is out, including fruit.
For the first month I can eat vegetables. Mostly those ‘that grow above ground’, such as courgettes, leaves, sprouts and broccoli.
But then I graduate to the ‘pre-catwalk’ diet, where it is just proteins and fats. To keep my energy up, I have two tablespoons of oil or butter with every meal. Eating out becomes near impossible and celebratory dinners, birthdays and weddings difficult. I end up constantly leaving food on my plate.
