Her current diet, which is very similar to other Instagram fitness models, is that is mostly made up from lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats. Her daily intake is split up into 5 to 6 meals per day, so that her metabolism runs high. As I mentioned, Gracyanne tries to consume many meals per day in order to keep her metabolism fast! Chicken and turkey skin is also to be avoided, according to Barbosa, as they contain unnecessary calories and bad fats.

Brazilian fitness star Gracyanne Barbosa allegedly used fake plates in training video. During the bygone era of Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire, our thirst to see feats of superhuman strength and skill often superseded questions about whether or not cheating was involved. That was several years before the emergence of social media put this tendency of ours on steroids, so to speak. Over the past two weeks, two of the online world's biggest names in weightlifting have been accused of using fake plates in order to generate buzz for their personal pages and brands. One of them, Brazilian fitness model Gracyanne Barbosa, has now touched off an uncomfortable debate about objectification for profit and the abuse of social media to outshine others who are legitimately accomplished powerlifters.

Born on 20 September , in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, under the earth sign of Virgo, Gracyanne Jacobina Barbosa Vieira is a year-old Brazilian fitness model, bodybuilder and entrepreneur, who is also known for her spectacular dance performances during various carnivals. Despite growing up in poverty, she became one of the most beloved people in the world of fitness. Before becoming hooked on bodybuilding, Gracyanne had made quite a career as a Samba dancer, touring all over South America with her band, Tchakabum.
