Supermodel Adriana Lima has lost her love for chocolate ever since she's got pregnant. The Victoria's Secret stunner had recently announced that she and new husband, NBA player Marko Jaric, were expecting their first child in May next year.
 
"It's funny because I used to love chocolate-I was such a chocolate lover until I got pregnant!" Us magazine quoted her as having said at a Louis Vuitton event in NYC Monday.She added:

"But now it just doesn't appeal to me at all. I haven't really had any since I got pregnant."However, the gorgeous model is hoping that her sweet tooth is not gone forever.
 
"I guess that's a good thing since it's chocolate and it's probably not good for the baby to eat too much sugar, but I hope I get my love of chocolate back afterwards because I really did enjoy it!" she said.
 
Talking of her pregnancy, she said: "I've really never felt better," she says of being pregnant. "I feel like I'm glowing because I just-right now-I just have everything. My life is complete right in this moment."

Being one of the top supermodels in the world with a yearly paycheck of about $8 million means some sacrifices have to be made in terms of diet and working out. Being all of the above while also pregnant clearly implies changes are about to be made, as Adriana Lima also got to find out. The first of the type was about her workout routine, as How Celebrities Lose Weight points out.

Lima was always a fan of boxing and chocolate. The latter made her feel good, albeit somewhat guilty for being able to do what few other models could or were allowed to, while boxing was specifically meant to combat the nasty effects of chocolate. As per her own words, boxing also prevented her from becoming bored with her routine, as she learned something new every single day, while also keeping in top shape.

“Boxing! It’s my favorite thing to do because it’s always exciting. It’s the best type of cardio that you can do. And you build up muscles without being too big, just lean muscles.” Lima said in one of her older interviews. Now that she’s pregnant, she clearly can’t continue boxing, because it’s too risky a workout, as well as too challenging. In her search for the best routine, Adriana turned her attention to an exercise that she had often shunned and ridiculed in the past: yoga.
