Jennifer Lopez 10 Pounds: JLo Drops 10 Pounds On Strict Diet Following Split

Jennifer Lopez lost 10 pounds thanks to a super strict vegan diet and 6-hour dance workouts. The American Idol judge is looking hotter than ever at age 44!

According to Mail Online, Lopez talked to Us Weekly about her fitness routine and how she treats it like a job. She says that it’s not easy to always stay on top of it, but if you want to lose weight and keep yourself in shape, you have to “buckle down.”

Jennifer explained:

“You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat. It’s a job – you’ve got to buckle down.”

While Jennifer Lopez didn’t need to lose 10 pounds (have you seen her?), the “I Luh Ya Papi” singer went from a size 4 to a size 2 in just a matter of weeks. She gave up dairy, meat, and gluten to get a leaner look. As far as exercise goes, the pop star dances in rehearsals for her tour. She also dances a lot while she is on stage, which is a workout and a half. Other than dancing, however, JLo says that she isn’t a huge fan of exercise.

Lopez said:

“I’m not an exercise fanatic. I don’t love it, but I do dance a lot for the shows, so that helps.”

Jennifer Lopez struggled taking 10 pounds off her already small frame. According to Access Hollywood, Lopez’s vegan diet — which is plant-based — is the only thing that worked for her. Her weight came off super fast once she changed her eating habits. An insider said that Jennifer has been “reintroducing fish into her diet,” but she’s really keeping herself on track to ensure that she keeps the weight off.

In other Jennifer Lopez news, the singer has reportedly been getting close to Dancing With The Stars pro, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. While the two have denied that there is anything going on between them, a recent meet-up has many people curious.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Lopez and Chmerkovskiy were caught heating up the dance floor at Shrine Nightclub in Connecticut on June 21. The two were flirty and close most of the night, but no one actually saw them making out. Since Jennifer is recently single (and feeling great about herself after dropping 10 pounds), it’s fine for her to go out and have fun. At some point Jennifer is going to date someone (and maybe it will be Maks), but until that’s out in the open, the media will continue spreading rumors.
