Erin Heatherton ‘s diet tip

Erin Heatherton says being a Victoria's Secret Angel has taught her about maintaining a good diet. The blonde beauty says understanding women need to eat healthily as well as exercise has given her the killer body that led her to become one of the lingerie brand's elite models alongside the likes of Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima. She said: "I've learned a lot about diet in my years of being an Angel. A mistake a lot of girls make is that they work out but don't eat enough. If you're not eating enough, all the work outs are doing, it's not going to show.
