John bento Diet Plan + Workout - long story short he's a pos freak like any man but his workouts are known to slay (pics of pdf are attached at the end) and Victoria's Secret models' diets and meals
This post is for motivation and inspiration and contains workouts and diets used by VS models
(sorry for any typos)
01 Pre Workout
No carbs for about 2-3 hours before you work out. This means no fruit, juice, bread, rice, pasta, or potatoes before a workout. A carbohydrate is a form of energy, and if you have simple or complex carbs in your system, as you’re working out, your body will use the carbs/sugars as a fuel source instead of the body fat/calories you’re wanting to burn. If you need to eat something before you work out, make sure it’s a lean/low-calorie protein and/or veggie.
Examples: eggs, avocados, veggies, salad, lean protein, protein shake
02 Dinner
Eliminate carbs after 3 pm and for dinner. If you have carbs in your stomach at night you won't be active enough to burn them off before you go to bed. Your body will convert those carbs to fat while you are sleeping. Remember to make your dinner mainly veggie-based and if you need/want some protein make it a small serving.
03 Post Workout
Since we’re trying to atrophy some muscle off your hips and waist, don't have any protein after you work out for about 1-2 hours. You can have veggies, fruit, a little juice, and/or a small serving of starchy carbs after you workout. Just be sure to keep your starchy complex carbs low throughout the day,
04 Any Additional Exercise Outside of this Method
Weights for the upper body are fine. Leave your legs and glutes strictly to body weight exercises and cardio. Weights, machines, and certain lower body exercises add muscle to your glutes, quads, and hip flexors which increase your hip measurements. No squats, lunges, or deadlifts. To keep measurements down stick to mostly cardio. Do slow jogs to get your heart rate elevated without working your glutes, quads, and flexors too much. If you want to add more exercises try yoga or pilates.

Other questions and answers:
How many meals do VS models eat a day? Many of them stick to 5 smaller meals eating every three hours
What do models eat to prepare for a show? VS models avoid all sugar except for natural sugars in some fruits, alcohol, salt, and limit carbs intensely
Do VS models drink alcohol? Generally no, alcohol is nothing but empty calories and can cause some bloating
Do VS models do intermittent fasting? Yes! Models such as Georgia Fowler and Bridget Malcolm both have found positive results from intermittent fasting.
during this time many models get their low carbs from vegetables, Ezekiel bread, and brown rice
some models go as far as to cut all carbs out weeks before the show as seen by Shanina Shaik
reminder that restriction is a part of their job - unless you plan on being on the runway anytime soon you don't need to cut the sugar and carbs in the intense ways some models do
