Chaz Bono on 60-Pound Weight Loss: "Diets Don't Work"

Cher's son says he's "just changed the way I eat"

Chaz Bono is looking better than ever these days!

The former Dancing With the Stars contestant tells People he's shed a whopping 60 pounds and is "still slowly losing" weight.

So how'd Cher's son slim down? "I've just changed the way I eat," he explains. "Diets don't work. You just have to change what you eat, and I have." 

The 44-year-old says he cooks "a lot of different stuff," and for the most part "really [avoids] grains and starches, so meats and vegetables and fruits are my diet. I make them all different ways to keep it interesting."

Also helping Chaz keep trim?

"I still enjoy dancing. I still take classes," he says, noting that martial arts training is also part of his regimen.

Good for Chaz approaching weight loss in a healthy way. Clearly his hard work is paying off!
