Mariah Carey is the new spokesperson for weight loss program Jenny Craig. Mariah dropped 30 pounds after having twins which makes her an excellent candidate.
She claims the Jenny Craig system – of 1,500 calories per day helped her lose the weight, along with a nutritionist and exercising 3 days a week.
She told Us Weekly:
“I gained an enormous amount of weight. I was scared I was never
going to walk again. I feel incredible but it was a long road. Being
pregnant felt longer than it was. It was a huge blessing to be able to
have the babies but I felt trapped in my body because I couldn’t move.
At the beginning (after pregnancy), I was breast feeding, so I had to
eat more than I normally would. It was frustrating. I’m proud of how
hard I worked to get my body back. I had to do this for me.”
As brand ambassador of the company, she will also be partnering with the American Heart Association. She wrote in a statement:
“Two-thirds of the country is placing themselves at risk for heart
disease and diabetes. Largely, that is due to unhealthy eating patterns
and lack of physical activity. I obtained a greater understanding of
this when I was pregnant with my twins and dealing with my own health
issues. That’s why I feel so strongly about working with Jenny and the
American Heart Association to help Americans get serious about their
health as it pertains to these issues which are so important.”
And she told the Associated Press:
“We just lost Heavy D. I considered him my friend and … he was (in his) early 40s, so it’s serious. It’s really serious.”
Mariah does look great!
