Champion of the second season of ‘Masterchef’, Izabel Alvares has embarked on a journey of accepting her binge eating and changing her eating habits, opening a new business, Abelha, which adapts to her current lifestyle.
Champion of the second season of “MasterChef Brasil” in 2015, Izabel Alvares has become more radical in recent years – and we’re not talking about diet. Bucking the trend, she abandoned the low-carb diet and even a low-carb eating initiative so she could eat better—and with a conscience.
