BRITNEY’S SEXY BIKINI BODY
The singer has peeled off 20 pounds in four weeks. Here’s how she did it – and how you can too!

It wasn’t Robert Pattinson’s brooding stare or Miley Cyrus’ pole-dancing performance that had everyone’s tongues wagging at the Aug. 9 Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, Calif. – it was original pop princess Britney Spears’ svelte new figure.

The Ultimate Choice Award winner, 27, looked like a teenager herself in a sparkling, asymmetrical Roberto Cavalli dress and newly dyed platinum locks (see page 37). "She looked amazing," gushes Backstage Creations producer Tracy Galermo, who saw Britney that weekend, to OK!. "She looked fabulous!"

The sexy mom of Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, credits 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!. "Her favorite Sunfare meals are turkey burgers and lasagna, which she actually has more than once a week."

And because there is always room for dessert, the former Mouseketeer likes to indulge her sweet tooth with confections like sugar-free cheesecake about two to three times a week.

Britney, who told OK! last September, "I’m the healthiest I’ve been all my life" – thanks to cutting out fruit juice, sugar and her beloved Frappuccinos – stuck to her goal of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and even upped the ante with a new diet and rigorous exercise regime to get in shape for her Circus tour.

In fact, Britney is so dedicated to living healthier that she has modified her diet while on tour (the show, on hiatus since the end of July, resumes in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on Aug. 20), since Sunfare only delivers in L.A. and the Phoenix-Scottsdale area.

"She still follows the principles and meals behind it and will start up once the tour is totally done," a source tells OK!.
