"Nearly two years after she was scrutinized for her weight and told critics to kiss her &amp;quot;fat ass,&amp;quot; Tyra Banks is revealing how she lost nearly 30 pounds.\r\nIt wasn&amp;apos;t because of a diet.\r\n&amp;quot;I do not believe in diets. I have been on diets in the past, and they are a bunch of bologna,&amp;quot; she says on The Tyra Show, airing Wednesday (check your local listings). &amp;quot;This is a lifestyle change. It&amp;apos;s not about being skinny. It&amp;apos;s about getting in the best shape that you can be.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe former supermodel, 35, says she has been working with nutritionist Heather Bauer, who has helped her re-evaluate her eating habits by keeping a food diary. (Banks also shares sample lunch and dinner menus, healthy fast food options and carbs to cut out.)\r\n&amp;quot;I switched up my unhealthy eating habits for healthier eating habits, and I haven&amp;apos;t had a tummy attack since December &amp;apos;08,&amp;quot; she says.\r\n\r\nBanks admits she still indulges -- &amp;quot;some BBQ ribs and some ice cream and some Haagen Daaz&amp;quot; are her faves -- but &amp;quot;just not every second.&amp;quot;\r\nThe trick?\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s about working with what you&amp;apos;ve got, and knowing, and learning what&amp;apos;s right for your body,&amp;quot; she says.\r\n\r\nThe 5&amp;apos; 9&amp;quot; model -- who reveals she has maintained her &amp;quot;34DD boobies&amp;quot; and her &amp;quot;round booty&amp;quot; -- was careful to stress that she doesn&amp;apos;t want to lose her curves.\r\n&amp;quot;I feel good about my curves and my imperfections -- my booty, my boobs, my thighs -- I embrace it all,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Now I really can say ... kiss my fit -- and still fat -- ass.&amp;quot;\r\nTo find out more about her fitness plan, tune in to The Tyra Show on Wednesday at 4 p.m. on the CW network."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
