Leona Lewis has talked about how she dropped two dress sizes and why she decided to lose the weight.
The 'X Factor' star decided to go on a strict detox diet last year, after spending a long time in the recording studio, which resulted in her losing a lot of weight.
She told Closer magazine: "I went on a detox at the end of summer last year and basically ate vegetables and nothing processed. And after being in the studio a while, I started doing shows and getting more active."
"I didn't drink anything but water for a month!' she continued, "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."
"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!'"
The singer was also quick to point out that the decision to lose weight was her own, and she did not feel under pressure from the industry.
"No one's ever said, 'You need to work out more.' I put pressure on myself to stay healthy and I do want to look good, but I like to eat and I don't like to starve myself!"
