Everyone has noticed Mariah Carey's svelte figure! Reports say that the singer may have lost a staggering 40 pounds in a span of just a few months.
After her recent appearance in New York showing off her new body, people are now wondering -- what could be her secret? Other than her possibly hitting the gym like most celebrities, rumor has it that she might have undergone gastric bypass surgery -- just like her boyfriend media mogul James Packer.
From 180 pounds, the songstress is now at a healthier 145. Her nutritionist shares that "Mariah has lost the weight in her hips, thighs, and stomach. For the last few months she has been eating lots of small portions and working out and doing Yoga and Pilates every day." She also has the same fitness program as her boyfriend's, as he has struggled with weight issues a while back. Although the nutritionist has dished details, many are still skeptical about how she achieved the weight loss.
Mariah has always been the target of body and fat shamers, especially since she has gained a hefty amount of weight after her divorce from Nick Cannon. Back in August, reports came out that James has been encouraging her beau to get gastric bypass surgery as well since it has done him very well. James has lost 75 pounds after the procedure, and he just wanted her to get the same fate as he had. The Australian businessman was even willing to cover the costs of the surgery for his love.
Although it is all speculation for now, it is still very likely that the singer decided to push through with the procedure. Her struggle with her weight was much longer compared to the time she lost it, which has led many to believe that she just took the chance and went under the knife.
