Lauren Alaina was named the American Idol runner-up at the end of May, and has since signed with Interscope Records and shed 25 pounds.
The 16-year-old country singer changed up her diet and started hitting the gym for daily workouts five months ago and the transformation is remarkable.
Blonde and pretty, the Georgia native stands 5-foot-7 and is a high school junior.
Her secret to success? She revealed, “Changing my diet was the big thing. I had to learn correct portion control.” Early on she relied on the meal delivery service Sunfare that was geared to a high-protein, low-carb diet.
With her newly-released album, Wildflower, doing well on the charts, Lauren is feeling pretty good about herself and life in general.
