Rihanna looked very trim and toned at the 2011 V Festival. She has opened up about her body insecurities in the past and mentioned she doesn’t like her legs. It appears that all the time in the gym is paying off because her legs are looking very toned!

Has openly claimed her bum as her best asset, Rihanna credits a perfect daily diet for her famous legs and backside. The “Umbrella” singer admits that she’s very careful with what she eats, thanks to that she as a result could stay trim and sexy.

Revealing on her daily diet, the Barbadian songbird said “I have egg whites and pineapple for breakfast with hot water and lemon.” As of lunch, “I have fish and potatoes. I hate vegetables, but I make myself eat them. For dinner I have fish again.”

Furthermore claimed that the diet helps her keeping her favorite asset – her backside – in perfect shape, Rihanna went on saying, “I keep working at it as I want it to be perfect. It makes my clothes look good – and guys like it.”

Boasting her love for her butt, Rihanna however hates her legs. “I really don’t like my legs, I’m very insecure about them. Everyone wants to have slim, perfectly-toned legs and I’m no different. I do weights as part of my fitness regime but I don’t want my legs to bulk up so I do a lot of cardio to balance everything out,” so she was quoted as saying.

Here are some piccies of Rihanna at the beach in Barbados on Monday afternoon. She’s looking pretty healthy and fit isn’t she?

Rihanna’s Diet

As the gossip rags have pointed out, Rihanna has gotten into amazing shape for Good Girl Gone Bad. When asked about how she did it, Rihanna said:
“I like carbs, but at the end of the day, carbs are the enemy. It wasn’t so much losing weight as being fit and toned and healthy. I just didn’t feel great.
Now I’m working out and trying to eat healthy. That’s making me lose weight without even thinking about it.”
She has been working out with a trainer, counting calories, and “obsessing” over her legs she says.
About Her Low Carb Diet

Low-carbohydrate diets that cut out foods like bread and pasta work faster than low-fat diets, two new studies show. After six months, people on a low-carb diet lost more weight than those on a low-fat diet.
This low carb diet is designed to help you reduce cravings and lose weight at the fastest possible speed, it is packed with quick and easy low-carb meals, using ordinary foods.
This is an ideal weight loss plan for anyone who enjoys healthy low-carb eating and who wants to lose body fat as fast as possible.

Before starting this diet you should know:
- Eat regularly spaced meals and snacks, approximately every 4 to 5 hours, to avoid feeling famished and to keep energy levels high.
- Eliminate as much sugar as possible from your diet: soda, sweetened beverages, fruit juice, cookies, cakes, candies.
- Choose as many unprocessed foods as possible. Don’t worry if you use highly processed convenience foods some of the time — just minimize the damage as much as you can.
- Drink water between meals. If you must have flavored water, make your own. (Even sugar-free flavored water is high in artificial sweeteners, which will perpetuate your sweet tooth.) Add lemon, lime or orange slices to plain seltzer water for a refreshing taste without sugar.
- Take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement for nutrition insurance.
