(CBS) The kids of Jersey Shore are back tonight for Season 2's premiere episode and one of them has a slim new body to show off.

Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola told Life & Style how she lost 15 pounds while still going reality show crazy in South Beach, Miami.

"You have to look good in Miami because beautiful people are everywhere you look! You don't want to turn into a slob," she told the magazine.

How did she do it?

Swearing off carbs for one.

"I miss it like crazy, but I don't eat pasta anymore," she told Life & Style. "I eat my vegetables and try to stay healthy."

She also told the gossip magazine that she is now doing intensive cardio including soccer drills and intervals of jogging, and sprinting.
