Boy George showed off a svelte new figure when attending the Whatsonstage.com Awards on Sunday night in London.

As he's shed the pounds, the singer-songwriter has documented his journey on Twitter, sharing everything from advice from his doctor to reactions on his healthy lifestyle.

"I've been doing burst of exercise all day and everyone thinks I'm a bit mental! Lol!" he Tweeted on Jan. 31.

Then on Feb. 8, Boy George shared his breakfast. "Mmm, porridge with cherries & a dash of cinnamon! Cook the cherries with the porridge! Bloody gorgeous!" he Tweeted.

The former Culture Club frontman also attributes his new figure to Freer Nutrition, a weight-loss program headed by a nutritional therapist, calling it his "secret."

Wasn't he in jail? Or did he lose this weight at home?

At home. He was still overweight when he left jail.

He is too thin in the face

Good on him. Love he!

Hopefully it's not a "chemical" diet.

He was known for his plump figure but the 51-year-old was barely recognisable after shedding weight on new diet

Literally half the man he used to be

It hasn’t exactly been the biggest secret in showbiz that Boy George has struggled to manage his weight in recent years.

But the 51-year-old stunned onlookers and photographers when he arrived on the red carpet last night.

He was attending the Whatsonstage.com Awards in central London when he showcased his dramatic weight loss.

The Culture Club star – real name George Alan O’Dowd – was almost unrecognisable with his cheekbones and jaw line clearly visible.

He could have bought a new shirt...

Wow

He wore a beige cap and an electric blue tie was loosely fastened around his baggy black shirt, complete with his trademark coating of make-up.

Boy George revealed the secrets behind his radical change on Twitter as part of a strict nutrition plan.

He wrote recently: 'Portion control. 5 hour gaps between meals. No coffee or tea, except at meals. Water & fizzy water between meals!

Yeah he looks like he did in the mid 1970s actually... you should've seen him at 16, he looked exactly like this. Hell he probably always looked like this but makeup (and him being a little chunky) disguised it. He's the queen of a million looks. George never always looks quite the same.

He looks like a regular bloke with eye shadow. I'm glad he's healthier these days and his past troubles behind him. Any rumours of a future CC reunion?

He lost 5 lbs too much.

Dupe thread: http://prince.org/msg/100/393820

Clearly, he was dangerously overweight in the "before" pictures, but personally I feel he'd look a lot healthier with about 20 lbs. put back on. Either way, without a doubt, his performance at The Limelight in NYC was one of the funkiest concerts I attended in the early-90's.

BOY ROCKS!

He looks great. Perfect.

DAMN! He doesn't even look like Boy George anymore

I saw him in Detroit. Yes, BOY ROCKS!

He look's even skinnier then in his Culture Ckub days!

Good for him! it's even harder sheddign weight as you age.

I agree. He looks fantastic!

He has always been an idol of mine and such an inspiration! He looks fab!

Have you ever seen him with stubble before? Butch George! I like it!

The first thin pic is simply somewhat unflattering. I think he looks awesome in the other photos, though. And I really hope he keeps up a healthy lifestyle.

I agree that he looks better in the subsequent "thin pics" than he does in the initial one posted at the top of the thread. I'm just glad that after all Boy's been through, that he's still here with us at all, and apparently still fabulous.
