It seems like there isn’t a day that goes past when we don’t see a half naked Rihanna. But whether you think she freely exposes herself too often or not, you can’t deny she has a great figure – so what’s her secret?

Chocolate ice cream of course – duh!

Embracing her native toned and curvy figure, food lover Rihanna refuses to succumb to the almost skeletal look of todays fashion models and will never give up her one indulgence – chocolate ice cream.

Despite her day job largely including stripping down to her undies in front of cameras or an adoring crowd, the young pop star refuses to go on a laborious calorie counting diet to keep in shape.

Instead she has a more simple secret motto she religiously follows when ever she needs to shed a few extra pounds…ditch the carbs.

‘Carbs are the enemy,’ says the 23-year-old pop sensation.

‘When I eat healthily I lose weight without even thinking about it.’

Amongst her very highly paid team of beauticians that keep her looking her best, Rihanna also has the best personal trainers money can buy.

New York based trainer Ary Nunez, revealed that the self proclaimed diva loves to dig into fish and protein as these are excellent for building muscle, and snaking on healthy choice fruit and olives.

‘Her comfort food is chocolate ice cream,’ says Ary.

‘I believe deprivation leads to disaster so I don’t stop her.’

Many dieticians and top personal trainers swear by keeping a little cheeky treat in your diet. The theory goes that if you deprive yourself of everything exciting and indulgent when on a diet, you are far more likely to fail.

Living off lettuce, celery and cabbage soup is all very well, but variety in the key to a happy life – and chocolate is the key to many women’s happiness. And a happy person is more likely to stick to a diet that lets them have a treat once in a while.

So whether cheese, digestive biscuits or in actress Jenifer Aniston’s case, chocolate fudge cake, is your weakness by all means munch away – just in moderation.

Rihanna has a figure a million women would kill for so here is a snippet of her bikini diet…

For breakfast the star eats an Egg white omelet, fresh pineapple chunks and drinks a cup of hot water with lemon to cleanse her insides.

For her all important lunch she eats fish dish with potatoes and healthy vegetables.

Dinner usually consists of spicy chicken or more fish with lightly steamed vegetables.

Finally the all important treat, Rihanna’s weakness – Chocolate ice cream.

Mmmm….
