Adam Lambert felt ‘hundred times better’ after 40lbs weight loss due to this secret move

Adam Lambert found international success after starring on the eighth series of American Idol. Tonight the singer will be appearing as a guest on BBC chat show The Jonathan Ross Show. Lambert will be joined by Scary Spice Mel B, comedian Russell Howard and award-winning actress Emily Mortimer. The American musician once managed an impressive weight loss of 40lbs – so how did he do it?

He told OK! Weekly: “I lost probably about forty pounds about ten years ago.”

“When I was in high school, I had bad eating habits. I ate a bunch of c**p – a bunch of fast food and stuff.

“I learned more about what’s healthy and what’s not healthy. I used a little bit of self-control.”

It’s not just his eating habits than Lambert tweaked in order to shed the weight.

The singer has worked with celebrity personal trainer Seth Gottesdiener to slim down.

The secret to boosting their workouts was to include a “cardio kick” at the start of every session.

“We always do a big cardio push in the beginning of each workout to try and spike the heart rate and keep it up for the duration of the workout,” Gottesdiener wrote on a Livestrong blog and shared on Facebook page Adam Lambert’s New Zealand Glitter Tribe.

“If we’ve done a couple of slower functional exercises, I’ll throw in a drill of burpees, mountain climbers or speed rope to try and bring the heart rate back up and go into our next superset of exercises.”

Gottesdiener also revealed that Lambert “might not always love going to the gym.”

However, the singer know he has to hit the gym and “always feels amazing afterwards,” the PT said.

The fitness pro has encouraged Lambert to adopt a plant-based diet. The benefits of the vegetarian diet and supplements such as green vibrance supplement have been scientifically proven already.

“I’m in full support of people who choose to eat more plants instead of meats in their diets,” said Gottesdiener.

“Although I consume a bountiful amount of meat, I am trying to pack on calories and I still eat a variety of vegetables and grain.”

The trainer also extolled the importance of consistency and variation. He explained that Lambert “loves doing abs, especially obliques.”

Lambert has sold more than three million albums and five million singles worldwide since rising to fame in 2009 – so what is Adam Lambert’s net worth?

He and rock band Queen teamed up in 2011, with Lambert being the lead vocalist for the formation dubbed Queen + Adam Lambert.
