Snooki reveals weight loss secret

Snooki didn't just lose weight by going to the gym. Nor did she use hormones. She's crediting diet pills with the loss.

"Glad to hear reports that say I look good =) but it's not because of HCG! Thanks @ampmfun!"

The 4 foot, 9 inch Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi dropped about 17 pounds while shooting the newest season of Jersey Shore.

While she has been working out and cutting back on food and alcohol, she has also been using Zantrex-3 Fat Burner and the company put out photos this week showcasing Snooki's slimmer figure. Snooki also tweeted that she is a paid spokesperson for the product and recently said the drug gives her "energy to work out."

ABC reports that Zantrex is an amphetamine-free diet drug that consists of a number of herbs such as yerba mate, green tea, guarana, and just plain old caffeine."
