Britney Spears has reportedly swapped junk food for healthy sushi.

The 27-year-old mother-of-two - who was recently pictured on holiday in Mexico showing off an incredible slim and toned figure in a tiny black bikini - used to love feasting on fried chicken, mashed potato and frappuccinos but has now found a taste for low calorie fish.

GK Reid, who recently styled the music video shoot for her new hit single 3, told The New York Post: "She exhibited amazing energy and was in great shape - her body looked better than it has in years - she munched on sushi instead of junk food."

He added: "She even sang live with the words. She worked really hard and was really sweet to all the dancers."

The video to the new No 1 hit is a tribute to threesomes. Reid said: "It's really steamy."

The Secret to Britney’s New Bikini Body

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

As Britney Spears prepares to hit the road again next week for her second concert tour of North America in less than nine months, the pop superstar — and mother of two young sons— has managed to get her body looking the best it has since the days of “Ooops!… I Did It Again” and “I’m a Slave 4 U.” And Brit herself is thrilled with her own transformation.

A source tells OK! that Britney — who flaunted her toned physique in a barely there white Eres bikini for an Aug. 6 photo shoot in L.A. — is thrilled with her new figure.

“Britney used to hate her body when she looked in the mirror after having the boys,” a longtime pal of the singer tells OK!. “But last week she sent pictures home to [her mom] Lynne and wrote, ‘Look how good I look!’ ”

Melrose Place actor Ethan Erickson, who appears in Britney’s “Radar” music video and also worked on a Candie’s shoot with the performer, says she looked “dynamite” when they shot the company’s campaign several months ago. Of course, he’s even more impressed by her current bikini body. “I think the whole thing just screams, ‘I’m back,’ ” Ethan tells OK!.

The sexy mom of Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, can credit her slamming new body in part to the Sunfare diet, a gourmet meal delivery company. Sunfare, which counts stars such as Eva Longoria Parker, Marcia cross and Khloe Kardashian among its fans, incorporates a balanced, low-carb approach of three big meals and two snacks per day, all documented through the delivery system.

“When Britney is on Sunfare, she consumes approximately 1,100 to 1,200 calories per day,” a source reveals to OK!.

The other major factor behind Brit’s renewed physique is good old-fashioned hard work in the dance studio and on stage.

“Her outlet is dance,” the longtime friend says. “She’s still dancing at least two hours a day and sometimes she’ll rehearse up to eight hours a day.”

Still, says another insider, “It didn’t come easy. It was a long, hard road. Britney dedicated herself in such a focused way. We are all so proud of her, not just for her physical achievements but also for her mental and emotional ones.”

Britney Spears Defies Diet Plan With Fast Food Binges

The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:

Britney Spears is putting her comeback in jeopardy by binging on fast food, it has been claimed.

According to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, the singer, 27, is ignoring the 1,200 calories-a-day diet devised for her by her managers by gorging on burgers and chips.

A source tells the publication, "Britney's been eating burgers and chips for lunch in complete defiance of the strict eating plan worked out for her.

"It's as if she's trying to defy her father and bosses, and break out of the controlled environment by turning away from the healthy lifestyle they've put in place."

"Every decision in her life is made for her and she's kept under the strictest watch to make sure her comeback is a success. Eating her favourite foods is one of the few ways she can control things."

Spears - who has been under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, since her high-profile breakdown earlier this year - has shed 28lbs since July after being put on a strict exercise regime and diet as part of her continuing recovery.

However, she recently claimed the strict conditions of her new lifestyle make her feel trapped.

She said, "When I tell people the way I feel, they hear me, but they aren't really listening. I'm sad. Even when you go to jail, there is always the time you know you are going to get out, you know? But in this situation, it's never ending. "

Is There Gonna Be A Tour?!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

X17online can confirm that Britney was in fact auditioning dancers at IDA in Hollywood yesterday, but we're not sure if it's for a few shows or an all-out world tour. Either way, it's exciting news - it means we'll get to see Brit shakin' it and performing some new songs very soon! We spoke to a few of the potential dancers, but no one was able to dish on when we might be able to see Britney take the stage again.

Though all this dancer/possible tour news is exciting, what's really remarkable is how skinny Brit looks! Though she's definitely dropped some pounds over the past few weeks, this is the thinnest we've seen her in years. It looks like she's getting back down to the size she was when she did her Onyx Hotel tour back in 2004, which is amazing! Also, check out Brit's new necklace with Jayden James and Sean Preston's initials - so cute!

“I’m the healthiest I’ve been all my life,” Britney told the mag. “My diet has a lot to do with my getting into shape… I try to do just 1,200 calories a day. It may sound like it’s not much, but it’s actually a lot of food if you eat the right things.”

The pop star’s revamped bod is thanks to a calorie-controlled diet and a vigorous workout regime.

Britney Spears Shows Of Hard Work At The Gym

The following italicized article is from www.nationalledger.com:

Hollywood's favorite pop star, the oft-criticized and always-maligned Britney Spears has reportedly been paying upwards of $23,000 per month to get slimmer. The twice-divorced mother of two (the kids now live with papa Kevin "K-Fed" Federline thanks to the courts) has placed an emphasis on getting her Louisiana school girl body back into shape.

Reports have claimed that Britney is spending an eye popping 10,000 dollars-a-month on a nutritionist and diet supplements; 8,000 dollars on a personal trainer; and 4,000 dollars on a private dance choreographer. She has been all over showing off her new body lately and photos have shown that whatever it is that she is doing it is certainly working.

One report claims that Britney has even resorted to eating a good amount of steamed fish and snacking on edamame beans, influenced by Victoria Beckham's diet tips. The task of getting her body whipped back into shape has fallen to Pussycat Dolls' personal trainer James Van Daff, who is making sure that the star undergoes rigorous workouts, including three-hour dance classes six times a week.

With a more-than-rumored return scheduled for the next MTV VMA's, Britney is showing off her new body, and she's looking pretty righteous in the "hot babe" again. "She's getting her muscles back," a friend stated over the weekend, "and she's so happy about that!"

Desperate Britney Spears 'Spends £11,000 A Month' To Get Back In Shape

The following italicized article is from www.dailymail.co.uk:

Britney Spears has lost a stone in recent months - but it certainly hasn't come cheap.

The star signed up to a £11,000-a-month diet and exercise regime after her bloated tummy sparked pregnancy rumours earlier this year, according to a report.

The mother-of-two, who eagerly showed off her slimmed down bikini body during a trip to Mexico over the weekend, is back to 9st after the stress of her custody battle saw her tip the scales at 10st 4lbs.

Her expensive heath make-over included £5,000-a-month on a nutritionist and diet supplements, £4,000 on a personal trainer and £2,000 on a private dance choreographer.

A source was quoted in Closer magazine as saying: 'She limits herself to 1400 calories a day with one 'cheat day' where she'll treat herself.'

'She also changed the way she eats, trying to have only two thirds of what is on her plate. It's all about portion control and fresh food now. And lots of water in place of Red Bull.'

She has also taken on some of Victoria Beckham's diet tips, eating plenty of steamed fish and snacking on edamame beans.

Britney also endures intensive work-outs with Pussycat Dolls' personal trainer James Van Daff as well as three-hour dance classes six times a week.

The source added: 'Britney piled on a lot of weight earlier this year. She was sho stressed about the custody case and her medication for her bipolar disorder also made her put on weight. She was tired of being flabby and wanted to do something about it.

Now, says the insider: 'Britney is so proud of herself because her ab muscles are back'.

'She's feeling better than she has in ages.'

OK! Exclusive: How Brit Gets Fit!

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Driving away from a Bally Total Fitness gym in Culver City, Calif., recently, Britney Spears was smiling from ear to ear — and with good reason. The singer has been sweating up a storm in an attempt to get in shape, and thanks to three-times-a-day workouts and a five-small-meals-a-day diet, Britney, 26, is already on her way to getting back her sexy body.

"We're very excited to see Britney using our clubs so often and enjoying her workouts," Bally's chief marketing officer John Wildman tells OK!. "She's taking advantage of our personal-training and nutritional programs and getting great results. She's working extremely hard on both programs."

Now Brit is working with Bally's trainer Mark Corlis, an insider tells OK!. "She's doing really well with him," the source says. "Mark doesn't cut Britney any slack. He doesn't baby her, and that's why she likes him.

"Britney's exercise program is called Active Recovery. That's when you work each muscle group intently for a short period of time until you exhaust it, moving — without resting — from muscle group to muscle group. The mother of two is doing it a couple of times each day, followed by late-night cardio at home.

That final workout is key to Britney's routine because she's burning off her last meal before going to sleep.

The junk-food junkie has also taken a new approach to eating. Her five small meals a day have cut her daily total caloric intake down by about 1,000 calories. The good news? She can still eat many of the foods she loves, including pasta and pizza, but in much smaller portions.

And that's a good thing because OK! has learned that her goal is to go from her current approximate weight of 133 pounds down to 118 over a sensible three months. "Britney carries a lot of muscle, so she is never going to be one of those 100-pound girls," the source tells OK!.

Britney's Late Night Workout

The following italicized article is taken from www.hollyscoop.com:

Britney always seems to be up to something really late at night when the rest of the world is fast asleep. Example…shopping at Kitson at 1:30AM.

Well last night she hit the gym. Brit was seen at 24 Hour Fitness at 1:30AM and preceded to work out for two hours. I don't think my muscles work at those hours.

She's gearing up for her next big video "Hot As Ice." Brit's looking visibly thinner these days, so maybe those late night treadmill sessions will be the new thing.
