She may be just months away from her 50th birthday, but Jennifer Lopez is looking better than ever – and it's all down to a special ten-day detox diet. The Second Act star has cut sugar and carbohydrates out of her diet for the past week, and showed off the impressive results on Instagram on Tuesday.

Cutting a figure women half her age would be proud of, J.Lo flaunted her incredibly toned abs and arms in a photo of herself posing in a pink bikini top and gym leggings. "Day 9 and feelin'… like I can't wait for Day 10," she captioned the photo, which attracted likes from stars including Strictly pro Karen Clifton, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Alba.

As well as following the no carb, no sugar diet, Jennifer also maintains a dedicated fitness routine, and admitted in September that she felt like "superwoman" after managing to continue to work out while performing in her Las Vegas residency. The 49-year-old previously told HELLO! that exercise helps to improve her mood as well as keep her in shape.

"And I really believe that when you take care of yourself and work to stay healthy, you're better able to take care of those you love. So working out is definitely a priority for me."
