Umbrella singer Rihanna revealed that she sometimes only eats once a day.

She told Fabulous: "Carbs are the enemy but if I go three days without them, I start getting weak. If my trainer had her way, I’d eat small meals every three hours, but I sometimes only eat once or twice a day."

The 20-year-old keeps a strict health regime to maintain her size 6 – 8 figure. However, she also revealed that her least favourite part of her body are her legs. "I'm insecure about them. Everyone wants to have slim, perfectly toned legs and I'm the same."

She added: "Being slim makes me feel better about myself. It boosts my self-esteem, and having a toned body helps with my job because I wear a lot of skimpy costumes."
