Mariah Carey is all over the place these days and she looks amazing. Recently in an interview on Oprah, she revealed that it took a lifestyle change (and a comment from a friend) to finally convince her to get healthy; but Mariah does admit that she's missin' her mac'n'cheese. Here are highlights:
Mariah says the most important part of her new, healthier lifestyle is her diet. Patricia (her nutrition and fitness coach) tries to cook Mariah's food without using oil and butter. She's also helped her stop snacking. When Patricia told Mariah to cut mac 'n' cheese out of her diet, Mariah says the news broke her heart. "That's the thing that I have difficulty letting go of because that's comfort food," she says.
Instead, Patricia incorporates lean protein and lots of veggies into Mariah's meals. On a typical night, she prepares foods like artichoke hearts with cherry tomatoes, steamed zucchini and chicken marinated with lemon and soy sauce. On occasion, Mariah allows herself to have one or two bites of her favorite foods — something she calls her "morsel diet."
