Leona Lewis Loves Being Told She Looks Thinner
Leona Lewis She puts her new figure down to a strict detox she undertook last year, adding she couldn’t believe how quickly it worked. She dropped two dress sizes thanks to the new way of eating, and is now feeling more confident than ever.
“I went on a detox at the end of summer last year and basically ate vegetables and nothing processed,” she told Closer magazine. “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!’ ”
Leona added she has found some aspects of her new regime tough. She enjoys munching on chocolate, and has found it hard to steer clear of the mouth-watering treat.
“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,’ ” she explained.
