Teixeira, 32, came to the United States less than a decade ago.

She began competing in 2013 on what became a meteoric rise to the title -- including 15 first-place finishes as an amateur and a professional -- and works as a professional trainer.

"One of the nicest and humblest people I've ever met," said Powerhouse trainer Greg Wetterau of Mahwah.

To be lean and toned, she told GreatestPhysiques.com:

Eat small, and clean portions every 3 hours. Your diet is 80% of the job;
Avoid saturated fats, alcohol, and sugar;
Incorporate intense exercises such as HIIT to speed up the metabolism.
