Kelly Osbourne Deserves Best Body Transformation in 2010: Get Her Slim-Down Secrets

From size 14 to a size 2 or 4: how DID she do it? That's what many viewers are asking about Kelly Osbourne's amazing physical transformation in 2010 that merits an award for best celebrity weight loss achievement. The secret to her success?

"There is no secret," Kelly told an US Magazine reporter. She described herself as keeping a commitment to herself to stay on track with her diet. According to the reporter, Kelly's diet focuses on low-carb, sugar-free eating. For fitness, she works out for an hour each time three days a week with a trainer, then does 30-minute intervals on a treadmill on the other days.

What's Low-Carb, Sugar-Free Food Plan Like?

Following a low-carb, sugar-free food plan can offer a great way to lose weight and eat more nutritional food. Do be sure to check with your physician before changing your diet in anyway. If he or she approves, here's what you'll need to do:

1. Cut out the sugar. Sounds easy, because most of us claim that we aren't addicted to sugar. But sugar is hidden in a wide range of food, from your morning cereal to your evening soup, from your lunch time bread to your mid-afternoon granola bar. Read the labels carefully, and keep the sugar in your diet as low as possible. When in doubt, toss it out!

2. Follow a low-carb food plan, and understand what that means. A popular myth: low-carb eating plans allow you to eat all the steak, bacon, and eggs that you want -- but you have to avoid fruits and vegetables completely. Wrong. A healthy low-carb eating plan calls for moderate amounts of low-fat proteins, such as chicken breast without the skin or a small serving of salmon. Green leafy vegetables are low in carbs and high in fiber, making them filling without being fattening. Small amounts of some fresh fruits, such as a few fresh strawberries, also belong on a low-carb diet.

3. When it comes to foods made with white flour, put them on your "red light" list. Crackers, breads, cookies, cakes -- sorry, but if you're a carboholic, a low-carb diet means it's time to kick the habit!

Kelly's Fitness Plan

Working out on your own or with a trainer for an hour three times a week offers a great way to challenge your body. You can improve your flexibility, balance, strength, cardiovascular system, and coordination by doing a wide range of exercises each time.

If you've never used weights before, it may be worth it to invest in a few sessions with a personal fitness trainer. Make sure you get someone who is qualified - ask to see his or her credentials. One of the best ways to find someone: ask friends for recommendations.

For the cardio portion of your workout, a treadmill, such as Kelly's choice, is also a good option. You can run or walk three to four times a week for half an hour, watching your favorite TV show or a DVD, and be entertained while you exercise. Can't afford a treadmill? Use walking in your neighborhood or at a school as a free way to get in shape.

Make a Commitment

One of Kelly's best quotes that reveals just how much she has changed is this one, which she made to an US magazine reporter: "A diet will never change you. You have to change yourself. You have to say, "I'm just not going to do that anymore."

In other words, whatever your diet downfall may be (chocolate? ice cream? A giant bowl of buttered popcorn each night before bed?), vowing to go on a diet won't automatically make you stop your habit. You have to want to make that change - and then, like Kelly, you can succeed dramatically!
