Demi Lovato, American pop / rock singer is now serious for workouts. After becoming the judge of “The X Factor”, she may be feeling uncomfortable with her other co-judges, especially Britney Spears, the only female co-judge. She has gained considerable weight.

Demi Lovato Diet Plan
She is also fighting with her self issues like eating disorder, depression and also taking care of her singing career and TV show. She joined National Eating Disorder Awareness Week as well. She said when she was 8, she started eating too much. She had such a desire of eating that she used to even cook food for herself. Then, at the age of 12, she was bullied by her schoolmates for looking fatty. So, she made herself home schooled. Gradually, she got control over her eating habits and made herself come back to shape. She is now eating normally, 3 diets a day.
Now, she is taking yogurt, a bowl of cereal and a fruit as her breakfast, which is around 8:30 am. Her lunch includes sandwich, salad, vegetables. Dinner is a dish of macaroni with cheese, vegetables and a glass of milk.
