A Russian
beauty queen winner has come under fire after she said that her secret
to winning was refusing to eat anything for four days.
Student
Natalya Shuvalova, 21, was selected from among thousands as the winner
of the Miss Maxim 2016 and said that in order to succeed she had eaten
nothing to have the perfect figure.
Natalya,
from the city of Nizhny Novgorod in central Russia's Nizhny Novgorod
Oblast, was selected by the judges as the 'sexiest girl in Russia'.
Natalya Shuvalova was crowned winner
of Miss Maxim 2016 in Russia and during her acceptance speech she said
the secret to her success was not eating
She also added that after winning the title, she would be making a trip to her local McDonald's to eat a Big Mac.
Online critics said however that starving oneself to be beautiful was a bad example to set young women.
However,
it appears that the events organisers are less concerned about
Natalya's approach to preparation but rather the length of time she was
willing to prepare.
Editor-in-chief
of Maxim Russia, Alexander Malenkov told the MailOnline: 'Actually I
was very surprised and a bit disappointed by this statement.
'By
the conditions of the contest she was obliged to start preparing
herself a week before the finals, not four days. As far as concerns
healthiness, we consider that being beautiful is always on the first
place for a woman.'
The student who will appear on the cover of the magazine said: 'I didn't eat for four days! Now I'll eat a huge Big Mac!'
Critics have claimed that that starving oneself to be beautiful was a bad example to set young women
Natalya
was the eventual winner out of almost 4,000 girls who applied to take
part, making it into the initial selection of 100 and from there to the
top 10.
Maxim
editor Alexander Malenkov explained: 'It was really hard to choose only
a hundred girls from thousands. And after, we had to choose the 10
best!'
The
11th annual Miss Maxim competition was actually open to girls from all
over the world with judges under the leadership of the creator of the
famous Russian TV show 'Eralash', Boris Grachevsky.
When
Natalya was asked how she prepared for the competition, she said: 'I
didn't eat for four days! Now I'll eat a huge Big Mac!'
As well as working as a model and a student, she also works part-time as a cheerleader and as a go-go
