Jason Derulo shares his secret to his washboard abs

The 26 year old singer, has been mesmerizing his fans with his washboards abs for many years. Derulo said that his abs were the result of a strict diet and fitness regime.

He said that he fuels himself with a diet rich in lean proteins, while keeping his carbs low.

He spoke openly about his diet by saying “It’s really just being strict within reason, …I was kind of doing just like those crash diets where I was going hard, going hard, going hard. [But] it’s easy to fall off and when you fall off, it’s kind of hard to get back up. So if you create yourself a reasonable diet…if you want something, you can have it, but within reason, do like an 80/20, 80-percent healthy and 20-percent…don’t go too crazy!”

Derulo said that his workouts are demanding and he therefore takes in at least 3,200 – 3,300 calories per day. The star said that he clocks in 3 hours per day at the gym with his personal trainer.

The star is also kept busy with touring, performing and practicing his dance moves with his dancers. Derulo is about to release his newest single “if it ain’t love” co written by him. He will be performing this single live at iHeartRadio Music Awards this year. The lineup includes other stars like Justin Bieber, Meghan Trainor and Zayn Malik.

The star will also be performing on his US tour and at the CMT crossroads with Luke Bryan in the summer.
