American Idol season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina is proud to confirm she managed to lose 25 pounds, and become a size 2 with a simple workout routine and a high-protein, low-carb/portion control diet in just five months (see before and after pictures below).

“Changing my diet was the big thing,” the 5-foot-7 Georgia native tells the new issue of Us Weekly. “I had to learn correct portion control.”

“I eat an egg-white omelet for breakfast, shrimp and veggies for lunch and chicken with asparagus for dinner,” she said.

The 16 year-old country singer, whose first album “Wildflower” debuted at #5 on Billboard, is only 10 pounds away from her goal. “I’m 10 pounds from my goal — almost there! I wear size small and extra-small now!”

Lauren looks absolutely fantastic. She doesn’t need to lose more weight, but she doesn’t seem to be obsessed with crazy dieting, which is great because she is way too young to worry too much about it. Lauren will celebrate her 17th birthday on November 8th.
