Adriana Lima Loses Her Love for Chocolate During Pregnancy
July 15, 2009 09:07:43Expecting her first child with husband Marko Jaric, Adriana Lima admits she doesn't crave chocolate, which is actually her favorite. "It's funny because I used to love chocolate -- I was such a chocolate lover until I got pregnant!" she told reporters while attending a Louis Vuitton event in N.Y.C. on Monday, July 13. "But now it just doesn't appeal to me at all. I haven't really had any since I got pregnant."
"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!" the supermodel continued. Losing her love for chocolate, apparently, doesn't affect her pregnancy as the beauty stated, "I've really never felt better. I feel like I'm glowing because I just -- right now --I just have everything. My life is complete right in this moment."
