Kyle Richards Credits Weight Loss To Sugar-Free Diet

Kyle Richards is entreating 2014 seven pounds down. After embarking on a somewhat unconventional diet, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has gotten some serious results and in a new interview, she's opening up about how she got the body she's always wanted.

"I eat almost no sugar," Richards recently revealed to Life & Style.

Kyle has struggled to stay thin for years, but cutting the sugar out of her diet did wonders for her health and got her body looking like the body she's always dreamed of having.

"I've lost about 7 pounds since last season," Richards explained. "I'm only 5-foot-2, with big boobs and a butt, so it shows! I feel confident about my body now. I don't hide behind a towel in a bathing suit."

"The key to weight loss is keeping insulin low by avoiding hidden sugars," Jorge Cruise, diet guru and author of Happy Hormones, Slim Belly.

As part of Cruise's plan, dieters can have up to 100 sugar calories per day (to calculate sugar calories, multiply the grams of carbs in a food item by four).

"You only count sugar on this plan -- no need to track protein or fat -- and can lose up to 18 pounds in two weeks," Cruise stated.

In September of last year, Richards spoke out about her struggles with weight, telling E! News, "I'm just one of those people who gets stressed and gains weight." 

Months prior, the reality star and mommy of four tried to reach her goals with the help of Weight Watchers. "It's easy to follow," she told Life & Style of the program. "It's been good. I just bought all the food and stocked up so I don't have to worry about a meal. I like the food!"

"I've been doing a good job sticking to circuit training three days a week and power yoga two days a week - I see a difference!" she said.
