Suzy, who boasts 2.3 million follower on Instagram (@suzyacortez), claims she hasn’t consumed sugar for years. But it hasn’t been an easy ride.

“It’s bad for sex because I save my energy to spend it during my five hours of training at the gym,” she said. “Men don’t always understand, which is silly.”
