Lately she's been looking incredibly slim.And now Leona Lewis has revealed the secret to her new trim shape.
But we're not saying it's easy...
The singer says it's all down to a strict month-long detox.
Speaking to this week’s Closer magazine, the former winner says: "I went on a detox at the end of summer last year and basically ate vegetables and nothing processed.
"I didn't drink anything but water for a month. I usually drink lots of water anyway, so it wasn't a crazy, dramatic change to my lifestyle, but I just really wanted to try it and see how I felt.
"And after being in the studio a while, I started doing shows and getting more active.
"I only did the detox for a little while, but it must have kick-started something in me because everyone keeps saying: 'Wow, you’ve lost weight.’ and I’m like: ‘Cool.’”
The 24-year-old has dropped two dress sizes to a 10, but insists she's never felt under pressure from the music industry to lose weight.
"No one’s ever said: ‘You need to work out more.' I put pressure on myself to stay healthy and I do want to look good, but I like to eat and I don’t like to starve myself."
This is a girl clearly after our own hearts as she admits she finds the gym "boring" and says the hardest thing was giving up the sweet stuff.
"I love chocolate, it was so hard for me. But I thought, ‘It’s only a few weeks. You can have it, but it’ll make you fat! So do you want that or to be healthy and feel great?’”
And, despite spending a great deal of last year in LA working on her new album, she refuses to cave to the super-slender Californian stereotype.
She adds: "There’s a lot of skinniness out there, but it’s really outdoorsy and I love that. It’s always sunny and I loved going on horse trails and hiking in the canyons.
"At first, I didn't like LA – it's so vast and you have to drive everywhere. Everyone has this perception that I’m over there a lot, but it’s just for work. My life is in London."
