Mariah Carey Loses Weight on a Soup and Fish Diet
October 3rd, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Loss, Mariah Carey, Celebrity Diets, Tabloid Magazines.
OK Magazine is running a story in their current magazine about how Mariah Carey has lost almost 30 pounds in the past few months on a strict soup-and-fish diet.
For your convenience, I have scanned it in for you all to read - click here. However, be forewarned that there are many things fishy with this story.
For one, it doesn’t look like she has lost anywhere near 30 pounds - especially if she has been building muscle with exercise. (See above post). Secondly, the article continually contradicts itself. For example, one minute, Mariah says: “I don’t feel like you have to be a size zero.” Then she goes on to say “It does feel good when you get into a nice size three and you’re like ‘It feels big in here’”.
Then the article goes on to claim that Mariah shed the weight with a very strict, “bleak” diet and exercise, and not “stressing about how her body looks”.
If losing 25-30 pounds isn’t stressing about how someone looks, what is it, exactly?
I still can’t get over how uncomfortable in her own skin she looks in the purple dress pictures — well, all of her pictures mainly now. But those are THEE worst. She looks like she’s either squeezed every bit of her fat into some sort of girdle under that dress OR she’s sucking it in for all it’s worth, which is what she always does too. But damn, if you really did indeed “lose 30 pounds” shouldn’t you look a tad more comfortable?
Fiiirst!!!
Mariah looks great but i don’t believe the not “stressing about how her body looks” part.
Besides, all those magazines write about celebrities’ diets, old photos and nicole’s eating disorder when there is nothing else to do
Size 3?! Yeah right. I wear a size 7 and I’m 5′7 120 pounds, and I look WAY thinner than her, but I could never fit in a size 3. She looks more like a size 13 or up.
She lost 30 pounds by chopping off one of those tits!
What???? She’s 5′9″ and weighs only 135 lbs. NO WAY!!! She would be super thin. Nice try. She must weigh around 150-160 lbs. I think it’s just embarrassing for her to say that she was almost 200 lbs. It’s like that whole Kirstie Alley thing. No wonder so many women are confused about their body image when celebs are out there bragging about weights that can not possibly be true.!!
No way do I believe a size 3 is too big for her.
she doesnt look like a size three at all. however to the person who said they’re 5′7 120 and wear a size 7, i am 5′6 120 and i wear 3’s, occasionally a 5. but i usually wear a 2 or 0. it depends on your body shape and how you carry your weight
NO WAY is she a size 3. She MIGHT be a 7, but no smaller.
LOL she’s not a size 3, 5′9 135! LOL
those numbers don’t even make sense lol.
My sister is 5′10 and 135, she looks far thinner than Mariah and even she wears size 8
No way she’s a 3.
It’s possible that she COULD have lost 25lbs, because she’s tall, and it takes a significant loss on someone of her height for it to be noticeable.
She’s a thick girl–muscular, larger build, etc, and genetically she will NEVER be a size 3. I’d guess that she weighs at least 150-155 due to her frame and muscle mass.
There is no way she is 135, or a size three. I look wayy skinnier than she does, am the same height, and I weigh 135.
..And I’m a size four to six.
Oh puhleeze!!!
she’s a complete lier..
OK again for the record- not everyone carries their weight the same, or has the same curves. Just because you are a certain height/weight with a certain clothing size isnt justification for another individual who could be the same height/weight to have the EXACT SAME MEASUREMENTS. It all depends on their makeup of fat and muscle mass to determine the weight and body types, seriously try to think outside the box for once. Also- its a picture of just her you cant really tell her actual size relative to anything else because she is not standing next to something/someone for your eye to visibly compare.
Maybe a size 3 in a vanity sized dress - LOL, that’s about it.
workitout what is your point? I dont care where she carries her weight. She hasn’t lost 30 pounds, what a crock of SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you take the fruit and “piece of bread” out of her breakfast her diet sounds like Kimkins. A “bleak” diet? Sure Mariah, let’s see how long you keep that one up!
She looks to be at least 155 to me…I’m sure her starting weight was much higher than 160.
I mean someone who works out that much and eats minimum/limited food , shouldn’t they be a lot thinner? Now, I am not saying she is fat, but shouldn’t they?
i wonder if she was talking about some of those labels that are sized 1- 4. size 3 being equivalent to a size large, which could be a little roomy on her figure.
One word for Mariah - BALONEY! I’m 5′9″, and when I weighed 135 lbs., I looked gaunt enough that people commented on how skinny my chest was. And I am muscular to boot. I wore a size 6 at that point.
Mariah’s implants would NEVER fit into a three.
In her case, it has nothing to do with how you carry your weight, as one poster suggested. It is impossible for someone who is her height and weight to fit into a size 3. At the height of Cindy Crawford’s career, her weight (at 5′9″) was from 130 to 135 lbs., and she wore a six.
P.S. I think she took some of the fat off her body and injected it into her face. She’s had so much work done!
Mariah’s “diet” and “weight loss” is quite a joke. But boy, Bridget Moynahan’s baby sure is adorable.
Maybe she fit in a size 3 dress that was stretchy or something, but she’s not a size 3 in pants. I’m a size 5 or 7 in pants, and I fit in a size 4 dress the other day.. that’s the only case she could be a size 3, and it wouldn’t be ROOMY!!
No way Mariah Carey is a size 3. No way.
hmmm I don’t see much difference between the pics of the black and the purple dress…
Seriously. If she’s a size 3, then I’m a freakin’ whale.
Whatever…
yeah - size 3????? - dream on Mariah - fish and soup sounds like a stinky woman - she definately didn’t lose 30 pounds - 3 pounds maybe - i don’t get how you can be on such a strict deprivation diet and then claim to not be stressing about how her body looks - well she’s totally stressing about something - maybe the numbers on the scale instead - nobody punishes themself that much and stay sane in the head - but then again it’s Mariah
I’m with sassy and secretthoughts. Size 3? Dream on. I’d believe it if she were like.. 4′2″
God it annoys me when famous women lie about their weight. There is no way in hell Mariah is 135 lbs. I’m an inch taller than her (5 ft 10) and 5 pounds thinner and I’m half her size. Just what the world needs..another Kirstie Alley to make normal women feel bad about their own weight.
she is no where a size 3.
Come to think of it, it doesn’t sound like she’s actually saying she IS a size 3, from the quote. She’s just saying it’s nice to be one.. and she could be talking about at any time of her life really.
She’s 5′9 and 135 lbs??? NO WAY. She should be skinny looking already and although she does look slimmer now, she definitely isn’t 135 lbs.
She looks more like 140-150 lbs
Her and Beyonce are built very similarly. They have larger frames, so they can carry extra weight more attractively than if tinier girls gain a few.
For those that can’t read, there is no way you can compare your body with someone else and get the same result. It all depends on YOUR body make up.
From the look of that pic, I would say she is a size 7.
Size 3? HA! More like an 8 or a 10! I mean she’s fine at that weight, but I’d guess more like 140-145 pounds, not 135. Why lie about it? Oh well they all do. Stupid!
I refuse to believe she is 135 pounds, especially if she has muscle from working out. I’d say shes 150+ pounds !
Mariah is always losing 25 pounds. If she actually lost any weight when she said she did, she might actually be thin. And..she’s not at all so I don;t see why she doesn’t give up all the bs and just not eat til she loses a few, then she can say aomething. She’s just trying to get attention.
UM, I positively hate OK magazine now. How dare they say that Britney hits her kids? Or even pose such a stupid question.
God, these tabloids are just making shit up.
Mariah Carey looks great!
I heard that Mariah used the New Cabbage Soup Diet in order to get those kinds of results. I know I did it and it sucked. I lost 15 lbs but it still sucked. By the end of the 7 days I hated the taste of the soup.
Why does she always look like shes sucking EVERYTHING in? It must be hard for her to breathe if she does do that…lol
Whatever size she is in Reality, she has to have one of the sexiest bodies of all the celebrities in my opinion. She looks like a woman and not like a teenage boy, which so many women seem to think is necessary in attracting [good looking] men. Well, if you’re tryingto attract good looking gay men I suppose that would be one way to do it…but for a wide variety of us heteros out there Mariah is the shit beyond a doubt!
Mariah = smoking hot babe.
I AM A MALE, 5′8 AND 128 LBS..I DO NOT LOOK SUPER THIN
I am wondering the same thing! I love Mariah Carey, but there is no way you can convince me that she is any where close to being a size 3. Her boobs alone would not fit into size 3 anything. I think this is a white lie.
size three doesn’t exist, it’s 0,2,4 and so on
SHE NEEDS TO LOSE 25 LBS
