Britney Spears flashed her killer abs and impressive weight loss to shut down rumors she had Photoshopped a bikini selfie just days earlier.
In the Instagram photo, Britney looks smoking-hot in a white crop top and tiny lavender shorts that spotlight her yoga-toned legs and flat abs. Spears has gotten progressively slimmer and more toned in recent months.
Britney’s weight loss and bikini fitness secrets are a low carb diet, cardio exercise and yoga workouts, as Celebrity Health Fitness has reported.
The pop star loves to exercise but admitted she has trouble sticking to a healthy diet.
“Daily exercise is important for me both mentally and physically,” said Spears, who has her own perfume line.
Britney said her metabolism has slowed down after two pregnancies, but a low carb diet and cardio exercise keep her fit. Britney usually runs on the treadmill or the elliptical trainer at home.
Spears loves high-calorie, high-carb, sugary foods, but typically follows a low carb diet, Examiner reported.
Low carb, high-fat diets such as the ketogenic and Atkins diets fuel rapid weight loss by inducing the body to burn fat for fuel, said obesity expert Dr. Eric Westman, co-author of Keto Clarity.
Dr. David Ludwig, author of Always Hungry? Conquer Cravings, Retrain Your Fat Cells, and Lose Weight Permanently, agrees. Ludwig lost 20 pounds in 3 months without feeling hungry or counting calories on a low-carb diet.
By reducing carbs and eating more healthy fats, you can accelerate weight loss and enjoy consistent energy, said Dr. Ludwig, a physician and nutrition professor at Harvard.
