EXCLUSIVE: Nikki Lund poses in blue lingerie as she reveals the 6/1 Diet that keeps her thin as she heads to Nashville for her singing career
Nikki Lund looked stunning as she posed in light blue lace lingerie during an exclusive shoot for DailyMail shared on Monday.
The singer, whose single Foolish was released earlier this year via Apple Music, is now thinner than ever thanks to her 6/1 Diet.
“It means I’m eating very healthy every six days, and I’ve enjoyed one day of something naughty, like an ice cream cone or truffle fries,” she tells DailyMail.com.
“I came up with it because I love junk food so much I could eat it literally every day of my life. So it was the only way I could think of to control myself.
“All day I have low carbs, high protein, salads and vegetables – I love it because I add garlic and olive oil, it’s nice.” But after seven days I thought: “Let me eat already!” Then I eat a burger with a bun or eat a cinnamon bun or ice cream.
It’s the only system that has worked for me. It’s like working hard and then rewarding yourself,” Paris Hilton’s friend said.

Staying in shape is important for her energy levels, she added.
“I like to look slim, don’t get me wrong, but the main reason I eat so healthy is because I need my strength for everything I do.”
Not only is she the mother of her young son Hendrix — yes, he’s named after guitarist Jimi Hendrix — whom she shares with her partner, musician Jeff Phillips, but she also has an eponymous clothing line sold at Nordstrom.
Nikki designs have been worn by Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, Brandy, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton.
And Lund has a vibrant singing career.
This month she bought a house in Nashville where she will spend part of the year working on her singing career. She also has a home in Los Angeles.
“I go back and forth between Nashville and Los Angeles,” she said.
“I grew up in Los Angeles, but have always been a big fan of country singers like Dolly Parton and Chris Stapleton. In recent years I have been working on country songs. I like the feel, the pace, the depth – I find solace in country music.”
She has a new manager in Nashville guiding her new sound.
“I’m happy with my team and feel like I can now spread my wings,” added Lund, who is part Scandinavian.

Nikki launched her music career in 2018 with the hits Love Overdose and This Is It after already establishing a well-received clothing line.
Richie Sambora’s ex, of Bon Jovi fame, also came out with U&I.
This comes after Nikki lost 20 pounds when she went back to doing what she loves: yoga.
She had gained some weight when she welcomed her son Hendrix in 2018, but she didn’t take the serious step to get her pre-baby body back until 2022.
And now the singer has finally reached the weight she loves.
“I’m finally a size two again and it feels great!” the crooner told DailyMail.com exclusively.
The music star added that she does yoga twice a day.
“After drinking my coffee, I spend an hour in my home gym doing five sun salutations, the warrior pose, the standing tree, and the lunges,” she said.
“Before going to bed, I spend about 20 minutes doing more Sun Salutations because it helps me sleep better.”
“After the stress of working all day and looking after my son, it’s nice to have some time to myself where I can take care of myself. It really helps reduce my anxiety and makes me fall asleep quickly.’
The fashion designer told the DailyMail.com exclusively in August that she lost 15 pounds this summer by going back to her favorite workout: yoga.

The star has been training in a gym for the past few years, but didn’t really have the drive to train as hard as possible.
“I like the gym, but sometimes you get tired of the environment, sometimes you slow down,” she told DailyMail.com.
“The weight just kept piling up because I wasn’t inspired. Then a friend told me to do the workout that I really love. And that’s why I started doing yoga again.’
The star loves the Salute to the Sun poolside at her home in Calabasas, which she shares with her fiancé, musician Jeff Phillips, and their son Hendrix.
“I like yoga because it’s a physical way to control my mind,” she also shared.
‘It really calms me down! And I need it because my clothing line sells so well at Nordstrom, I’ve gotten really busy with that.
“Yoga really teaches me about holding and letting go, giving and receiving,” the siren said.
She also said she likes designing clothes because it’s fun to “create something out of nothing.”

“It takes focus and the ability to let go. I love exploring every compartment of my soul, almost like discovering myself all over again for the first time. A dual reality of the artist’s heart: the here and now and a fantasy world,” she noted.
And she also said, “Everything is a balancing act, a give and take in life. And there is no judgement.’
Earlier this year, she took full advantage of the tiny, two-piece swimsuit when she posed by a gorgeous Los Angeles pool.
The Beverly Hills native, who grew up with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, appeared to be in the best shape of her life as she showed off her sculpted arms and washboard abs while her blonde hair was worn over her bare shoulders.

The siren hit her best poses of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model as she enjoyed a sunny day poolside with an adjoining infinity hot tub.
The beauty was nicely made up with pink lipstick and smoky eyes as she exuded glamor in the breathtaking outdoor setting.
The star added a diamond-encrusted gold plate around her neck and also sported a diamond belly piercing.
