mariah carey! a big no-no??

i was just watching TV and there was a program talking about how mariah carey lost 20 lbs (for some reason this is a big news story right now and making it into all the magazines). one of her diet tips was to "eat 1000-1500 calories per day" in addition to working out 90 min-2 hrs about 4 days a week. i just looked up that she is 5'9". there is NO WAY 1000-1500 calories per day is enough, right?? am i crazy or is that promoting unhealthy weight loss?

The thought that Hollywood women did healthy things to lose/maintain weight has never entered my head. Not one single time.

haha, i know. i totally agree with you spirochete.  i just think its dangerous for magazines/tv to actually advertise these things because people will go out and TRY them!  i must admit if i wasnt enlightened by CC and everyone on here, i might have believed that what she did was ok

yeah I mean think about what Beyonce did, that was even worse!

what did beyonce do if you dont mind me asking? lol

I think Beyonce did that weird lemonade combination that has lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.

And Beyonce and Mariah Carey yo-yo in weight like every year.

EVERY time Mariah makes a new album, she miraculously comes out about how she loses 20 pounds...she's a "mini" yo-yoer....I don't think it's a big deal, and when you're getting ready to do press etc I'm sure you'd do more about your weight than during the times you're off vacationing. Do I think it's healthy? No. Do I think it's funny? YES. In an odd way. She's learned that she can get alot of publicity by marketing weight-loss tips and secrets every time she releases a new album, and it obviously works for her - I've seen 2 shows already, highlighting her "new figure." Just like during Emancipation of Mimi.

I saw a write up in a mag about her mirical workouts..

her trainer was like, we rarely use weights because weights can add bulk.  ha.

in her defense though she does look AMAZING and not twiggy looking like most stars these days

i don't see how mariah carey lost 20 pounds , i mean she was always this thin ... i just saw her on american idol this week ...20 pounds morethan that is definitely overweight ... was she overweight at one point and i missed it ???

I think Beyonce did that weird lemonade combination that has lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.

Well, that lemonade thing is just supposed to be a cleanse... not a diet. lol

some people carry weight well.. I think she dresses well for her body type.

When I was 20 pounds heavier i didnt look "fat" but you can tell the difference now

 

here is the pic of the US weekly cover, you can see the before and after shots of her they used

Call it what you want, it's a stupid f'ing thing to do.

Whatever you say, spiro.

Apparantly Beyonce only had 500 calories a day for 2 weeks when she just drank that maple water stuff!

It might be that it is a cleanse, she used it as a diet though, she 'needed' to lose those pounds quickly for the Dreamgirls movie.......

i just don't see how any of this is relevant to me.  if someone comes along and tells me, "you need to lose 20 pounds in two weeks so that you can go on tour and make fifty million bucks in three months and look good in the tabloids while you do it," i guess i'll do what it takes.  until then, it makes sense to stick to the plan i have.

Mariah Carey is also known in law enforcement circles for being completely nuts, just some insider information.

Morganbclaw ... your link is not working !...i tried copying it ...

Beyonce also put on all the weight she lost once she started eating normally again so it was all useless and in the air

My wife and I think she has a different technique. Look at her face, legs, etc.

We think she gets lipo from certain areas, stomach, arms, and leaves the rest.

sorry!  here is a different one that also has the pics :)
