Trisha Yearwood is looking slimmer, fitter and healthier these days. The other night at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards, the cookbook author showed off her amazing weight loss.

Check out the video above for a full report.

Speaking with People magazine, Yearwood admits that she’s eating healthier these days, which explains her new, slimmer figure, but insists she’s not starving or even depriving herself all that much.

In the end, it’s a question of priorities.

“I've been dieting and exercising and I've lost about 20 lbs. [9.07 kg],” she reveals.

“I'm doing very little sugar. And occasionally I have the mac and cheese,” she adds.

Well, whatever she’s doing, she certainly managed to steal her hubby’s thunder just a bit at the ACMs. She’s looking fabulous!

Yearwood was on stage during the country music awards ceremony to present in one of the categories.
