14 DAY TRIAL // A few days back, British singer Leona Lewis, whose figure has always been described as more on the curvy side, unveiled a slimmer body on the red carpet and said her secret was a detox diet she started a short while ago. Speaking with Grazia magazine, the star says that, while she’s always been conscious about her weight, she’s finally in a place now where she can say she’s happy about her looks.
She won’t admit that she lost weight, though, even if this is more or less obvious even to the most untrained eye. Sitting down with Grazia for an interview for the latest issue, the famous singer says she now has more confidence than ever before, though she wouldn’t necessarily put that down to shaking off a few extra pounds. Suffice it to say that she wouldn’t change anything about her looks because she’s finally happy and has a healthy body image.
“That’s what everyone’s been saying but I’m quite an average size. I’ve always been conscious of my weight,” Leona says when the Grazia editor points out her weight loss. “No, I feel pretty confident. Now I sometimes feel like I can’t wear certain things, so I’ve stopped looking at photos of myself. You become more self-conscious,” the singer adds, speaking about what life in the spotlight can do to a girl in terms of self-confidence.
Nevertheless, even if life in the spotlight is hard, Leona has not let it change her in the sense of having it get to her head. “No, I don’t wear diamonds or anything like that. I did have a fitness trainer for a week but then I realized I preferred classes. Overall, I’m quite good with how I spend my cashola,” she says. As for scrutiny of her body to see whether she’s had any word done, that is definitely upsetting. “It’s weird that people look at you like that. I wouldn’t go up to someone and say, ‘Oh my God, look at your bust’.” Leona adds, speaking in reference to a rumor of last year that she had implants.
As also noted above, just recently, Leona said she underwent a detox diet to purify her body from all the junk she’d been putting into it while holed up in the recording studio. Thanks to it, she incidentally also went down from a size 14 to a size ten, but she would never starve herself to attain a figure she was not meant to have, she also said at the time.
