Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel and ex-wife of Tom Brady, shared her healthy eating cheat codes in her memoir. In fact, in her memoir, she recalled a story where she prevented a dietary disaster within the Brady-Bundchen household. As a fitness freak, whose nutritional advisory could be better than hers?
