Wilson Thanks New Diet for Lost Lbs.

(June 12) - Carnie Wilson has lost 15 pounds on her latest weight-loss journey thanks to a new diet. The singer, who had gastric bypass surgery in 1999 and went from 300 pounds down to 146, bravely admitted to OK! two months ago that she had “hit rock bottom” again, tipping the scale at 208 pounds. OK! exclusively caught up with Carnie at her home in Tarzana, Calif., as she prepared a figure-friendly squash meal with her adorable daughter, Lola, 3, and explained how she recently dropped down to 193 pounds with the help of a nutritionist and a new workout regimen.
On Her New Attitude: I have a completely different mind-set. A month ago, I started doing organic -- no dairy, no carbs, no refined sugar, no red meat -- so my diet’s really limited. I turned 40 in April and something clicked. I started having those feelings that I had before gastric bypass where I just didn’t have any control over food."On Her New Diet: "Breakfast is two egg whites and one whole egg, scrambled with seasonings, two to three pieces of turkey bacon, and then a half a cup of mixed berries. A snack would be 15 raw almonds or four celery sticks with three tablespoons of sugar-free hummus. Lunch would be a salad of chopped kale, romaine and spinach, cucumber, celery, bean sprouts, raw mushrooms, broccoli sprouts. Then I will make a balsamic dressing from scratch. I sauté a 3-ounce patty of chicken breast and eat that with the salad. If I feel like I want something sweet, I’ll have a quarter cup of blueberries or strawberries. Then dinner will be another round of veggies. I’ll steam cauliflower, zucchini and some spinach. I’ll do a piece of protein with that, like 4 ounces of Chilean sea bass ... I’m trying not to eat after 7:30 p.m."On Her Success on the Diet: "I don’t wait till the last minute to eat. I measure my protein in 3-ounce patties and put them in the freezer and make them taste good without it being fattening. Also, I write down every single morsel of food that I put in my mouth. I used to give in and finish what my daughter had on her plate. If I had nervous energy, I would walk by and pick up anything I saw. Now if there’s pasta left on her plate, I just throw it out."On Her Exercise Plan: "I started doing a power-yoga DVD, 40 to 50 minutes a day, three or four days a week. I’m more calm, and I have more energy. I also exercise twice a week for an hour with my trainer, Lanre Idewu. We’re doing fast-paced walking, elliptical, lunges, squats and band resistance for my arms."On Her Next Goal: "I want to get pregnant again! I’ll be so healthy. I’m happy to feed the baby good food. I’m going to start trying in a few months. First, I’d like to take off another 20 or 30 pounds."See Photos From Wilson's Shoot With OK!This Week in Pop Culture History 9.30This Week in Pop Culture History 9.30
