During her pregnancy last year, the "Goodies" singer gained 60 pounds.
"When I was pregnant with [son] Future, one thing I learned quickly was, don't ever let a pregnant lady be hungry, because when I was, I was like the Tasmanian Devil!" she tells Shape magazine. "I indulged in all the good food the world has to offer. After he was born - when I couldn't exercise yet - I kept eating, and I gained 60 pounds."

"That, along with a really clean eating plan, was how I lost 60 pounds in four months. It was a very intense program, and I was extremely focused on it."

But the singer says her diet was just as important as her workout regimen - especially one thing in particular - water.
I believe that drinking tons of water and flushing out your system is crucial for training. It really helped me drop the weight. I tell myself that water is my medicine and that to stay well, I have to drink a gallon of it every day.
And while Ciara says she also put herself "on a strict eating regimen," she does admit to needing cheat days.
"I give myself a break," Ciara tells Shape. "At some point I have to have French fries, a cheeseburger, and some pizza. And Oreos and vanilla ice cream!"
Ciara's hard work has paid off.
