The Ultimate Weight Loss Secret

Rihanna is beautiful to say the least - I’m guessing she’s got GREAT genes! This stunning star hit the TV screens for her Umbrella video clip and jaws DROPPED at how amazing she looked. The star admits she got her butt into gear for this album and has reaped the results with an incredible figure.

Read on to find out the celebrity weight loss secret behind her Rihanna’s amazing new body.

Born in Saint Michael, Barbados Rihanna’s first taste of fame was much like fellow celeb Eva Longoria’s - winning a school’s Beauty Pageant.

However Rihanna’s first BIG break came when she was introduced to music producer Evan Rogers who later (along with business partner Carl Sturken) help her record her first demo.

At the young age of 20 Rihanna has released THREE albums: Music Of The Sun, A Girl Like Me and her most recent (and most successful album) Good Girl Gone Bad. I can’t believe this girl is MY AGE!

Well this Barbados beauty combined a healthy (albeit strict) diet, strength training and cardio to get her amazing new physique.

The Diet Behind Rihanna’s Weight Loss

Rihanna’s diet is mostly low carbs and low fat protein. After looking at it I would recommend a few more carbs and protein myself but this is what she did . . .

She stocked her fridge full of veges, eggs and lean protein.

Her daily meal plan looked like this:

Meal 1: Fruit and Water

Snack: Fruit

Lunch: Soup

Snack: Egg Whites

Dinner: Chicken or Fish

The above diet is a BIT borderline in my opinion. Making a few changes would make this a WHOLE lot healthier.

Try this meal plan instead:

Meal 1: Oatmeal and Fruit

Snack: Handful of Almonds and a piece of Fruit

Lunch: Salad with Chicken or Fish

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Chicken or Fish with steamed Broccoli, Spinach and Beans

Thankfully Rihanna does have the right mindset about her weight loss. The star says, "I’m trying to eat healthy. That’s making me lose weight without even thinking about it. I’m not intentionally trying to get skinny."

The Workout Behind Rihanna’s Weight Loss

Rihanna weight loss Rihanna has been working with a celeb trainer top get her body in tip top shape.

Her workout regime involves both cardio and strength training to get her body curvy but toned.

Rihanna said, "I work with a trainer. We work on the arms. I don’t want manly, muscular arms. We work out my butt because I love my butt. But my legs are my main focus. I’m obsessed."

Rihanna hits the treadmill for runs 3 times a week - thats her cardio. And then she pairs up with her trainer for strength work to tone up.

If any of you have seen her video clip for the single "Umbrella" you will see the work has paid off BIG TIME!

Good on you Rihanna - Keep it healthy!
