Model Alessandra Batista, considered the most beautiful member of the program “Legendários”, on TV Record, details how she stopped being “big” and started having a more “ripped” body.
“I think the main point was to change my diet. More than training at the gym, food is what defines the body.”
“In my diet for championships, I oscillate with carbohydrates. My diet is always prepared at home because the way meals are prepared counts a lot in a pre-competition diet”, says the blonde.

“Winning a competition of this magnitude gives me even more encouragement to maintain my heavy physical exercise routine and, above all, a balanced diet”, says Alessandra Batista.
