She looked good while she was on Idol, but she looks fantastic now!

How did she do it?

"Changing my diet was the big thing," the 5-foot-7 Georgia native tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). "I had to learn correct portion control."

"I eat an egg-white omelet for breakfast, shrimp and veggies for lunch and chicken with asparagus for dinner," the single 16-year-old high school junior says.

Whatever she's doing, it's working!  Lauren Alaina looks great!
